We use squash all winter long, and eat a lot of summer squash in the summer. Some of those are test varieties. I've tried various varieties that...
Amazing display @Doghouse Riley! It's like a botanical park.
If the scion above the graft is dead, it's highly unlikely to regenerate. You could learn grafting and obtain scion from a friend, graft that...
That's a very obnoxious weed! At my old house, the chickens liked eating it, and eradicated it. The sad thing is you can still buy it here to...
Today I spent most of the day out in the kitchen garden. In a sense, I might call it potager, because it incorporates fruits, vegetables,...

I had weed fabric down in my old yard, years ago. I didn't keep up with weeding what grew on top of it. Roots grew through the fabric, under and...
Sjoerd, those old strawberry plants really perked up with your care! I bet there will be a bumper crop. I'm sure the new ones will start growing...
