Gardening with joint problems and arthritis is definitely a challenge. My biggest tip is make the husband do it, but sometimes I still want to do some of it, so that would be a great thread.
People like that idea! I started the thread and they are saying that it was a good idea. Kudos to you!
 
I have not heard of Fedco. I will have to look that up. Is it a local company?

Yep. It's based in Maine, so caters to the Northern gardener. Lots of good varieties including heirloom. Good pricing, multiple package sizing, and my favorite: They are a partner of OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative) committed to keeping as many seed varieties as possible in the public domain. They do not knowingly purchase GMO seeds, nor do they purchase from Monsanto or any of it's subsidiaries. They also do not carry Dow or Dupont products. They also sell tubers, bulbs, and trees. Based on their stand against big chemical, I choose to purchase from them, not to mention the fact that their seeds have always done very well for me, and are extremely competitively priced. They also sell products geared towards managing poultry and 4 footed farm beasties, though I have not bought any of those products.

That's the greatest endorsement I'll ever give for a company. And, no I do not work for Fedco!!!
 
we just received all of our seeds from Jung. They are located just about 30 miles from us. the trees will come in time for planting.
I ordered some asparagus crowns, too.

i see it has been over a year since i posted. so, what's new ?
My tree planting did not go so well. after my surgeries i have severe lower back pain.
I hope the trees do well this summer.
the rhubarb was looking super going into the fall. this summer will be the second growing season for it. I planted many plants, so I think I can snatch a stalk from each one, enough to make at least one pie.
the asparagus looked ok going into the fall. I hope it comes back OK.
I planted a lot of garlic in a wooden frame. I hope it comes up OK. I also planted some in a plastic tub.
 
I was wondering where you went Jim. Glad to see you back. :) Sorry about the back pain. That is debilitating.

I started a few tomatoes, and a flat of flowers. That's about it. I did buy some seed potatoes too. Waiting for the warmer weather to arrive and stick. I think this is the first year that I don't really have plans.

We ordered a few trees for the fields. The rest I'm gonna wing it, and see what happens. I think I ordered some wild plum. The wild apple trees we put in last year look to still be with us.
