Carolyn, I've never had 8's get bitter, but then our cucumbers are finished by July, so they don't experience great heat or lack of water. Cukes...
I was weeding out the big herb garden today, getting ready to add the starts that "followed me home" from a local nursery. I found wonderful...
Try a farm and ranch supply store, or a farm supply. We get ours by the pound from a F&R place, but Tractor Supply also has seed potatoes. If you...
Dooley, you are going to have so much eggplant and cucumbers! We plant Straight 8's also--very reliable, and can be either slicing or pickling...
No, I just think you aren't doing enough. First, open another tab for the Stew, then using the edit feature on Google highlight and copy the...
Get well quick Jordan so you can get that garden centre up and running! Please take the time from the business to let us know how it and you are...
Ronni, Just go to a nursery and stand very still. Soon you will hear the siren call of a plant, and then the chorus swells and you are deafened...
I couldn't help myself. I stopped by the Special Education Horticultural Outlet to drop off fresh dill (yes, I take dill to a plant nursery--don't...
Happy Birthday, Jen! Twenty-eight? You are just approaching the prime of life (my opinion is that the prime is next year, whatever your age). So...

Yes Ed, if folks didn't ask questions, we'd all be more ignorant (and in my case that could be fatal :roll: ). Ask away, and we are eager and...
A request--please give both Jerry and Joyce a big hug from all the fellow Stewies that haven't yet met them in the flesh. You are going to have...
Have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute! I've heard that Denmark has some amazing pastries--would you try a few out and report back to us?
Dooley, how do you manage to get more done in a day that I do in a week? Your gardens will be lovely, despite the wind. I managed to clean the...
Hummingbirds seem to be best at ignoring humans. I can be weeding, dead heading, or just messing about near the feeders, and the hummers don't...
You are becoming a very educated gardener! Your choices make me drool :) and will look wonderful. Until you are really confident about...
Ronni, I apologize. I'm so familiar with the book that I forget to explain it. Botanica is a garden encyclopedia with over 10,000 plants described...
Welcome home (to the Stew)! You were missed. Hoping to see lots of pictures when you get rested up and re-organized at home.
