Are you still keeping them? I grew up in NCC Delaware and I really would like to get a small hobby flock of them. Any idea where I can get some chicks or hatching eggs?

Try Nyagous from Seed Savers Exchange. They’re really dark brown to black and they are the best tomato I’ve ever had.

That’s what I’m hoping for but I’m going to wait until our day time temps are cooling off to order them. It’s too hot right now. Don’t want to stress them. I figured I would double the order and save on freight. I have a compost pile I can add them to also.

All of our tomatoes are really behind this year, so we haven’t gotten much out of them yet, but soon. The Nyagous are a deep brown to black colored baseball sized tomato that grows about 6-8 per truss. They are super flavorful. Literally the best tomato I’ve ever had. They are indeterminate...

I just can’t deal with the lack of choices in variety when buying nursery plants. We buys seeds because we can get traditional heirloom varieties that the nurseries never even heard of. Plus buying plants to transplant has never ended up giving me tomatoes faster. The direct seeded ones...

Always always seeds here.

Nyagous (from Seed Savers Exchange), San Marzano, Hog Heart Paste (Fedco), Sweet Heart (Fedco), and Honey Bunch Grape (Fedco), and some type of tomato currants that my wife ordered...

What we’ve resorted to is planting Waltham butternut squash and other resistant varieties.

Ive done it and it works. The problem is the ones you miss. The best bet you’re going to make is to use some pvc pipe or aluminum foil around the main stem of the plant and bi-weekly spraying a bacillus thurungiensis (BT), which is an OMRI listed organic biological control. It’s a bacteria...

About $80, LOL!!! :-D

Well, I have dug down into the mulch, all the way to the soil on the garden side because last year or Garden drowned under all the water. We get 60” of rain per year here in my area, and with hard compacted clay like we have when you dig a nice big hole in the ground for each of your plants...

I don’t know but I was thinking of starting with 1000, 500 on each side.

I’ve got a question for this topic, especially since it ties in to chickens. We have a large BTE Garden in year two also. However, the way we run it is like this; we have a 50X112 Garden covered in 8” of mulch. It’s divided in half to 25X112. On one half we grow food. On the other half we...

Hey, we’re in DeSoto County, MS. What parts y’all from? Nice to have you and welcome to the forum.

It’s hard to put a figure on it because you’re in a different area than me, but I can tell you what I would do in my area. First, you need to make sure that you’re finding a company that does not have access to their own staging yard, so they have to take it to a mulching yard to dump it, which...
