John, a season without home grown vegetables will just make you appreciate your own when you can grow them. I hope you find a source, but until...
PDM, I use manure tea, which is about two cups of well-rotted steer manure in a gallon of water. The proportions aren't critical, since it is a...
Good caption, Jerry! I bet you come up with a great photo for the next caption contest.
Toni, I'm glad you posted a contrasting opinion. Discussion can lead to learning on both sides of a question. I didn't wish sickness on the...
Our killdeer like the front flower bed as a nesting site. For two years in a row I had a nest smack dab in the middle of a lovely blue sage plant....
Donna, that is so darned efficient and lovely! If you don't get a bumper crop of tomatoes, it surely won't be your fault. (I've heard there is a...
Now that is an embarrassment of riches! You'll get it all cleaned up and into the compost pile, and be so proud of yourselves!
I don't fertilize my tomato seedlings (or any seedlings) until the true leaves appear, and then at half or quarter-strength of the recommended...

Welcome to the Stew! This is the friendliest and most helpful gardening place around. We have two large and one small veggie gardens, chickens...
I had thought of SHeepgOAT (shoat) but that's a whole different animal. I don't think mama ewe would like her baby being referred to as a pig!
Kildale, a most hearty congratulations! I can hardly wait to see your photos--they are all great, but the ring necked duck was especially good.
Hummingbirds are most welcome. When the buzzards return to Hinckly, Ohio, I wonder if they are equally as welcome....
Mother Nature has been ignoring us, too. Last night we were supposed to have "pop-up thunderstorms". They popped up somewhere else. All we got was...
We spotted our first hummingbird on the last day of the Cornell Backyard Feeder Watch--good timing on the little guy's part! Today we saw one...
