BYC gardening thread!!
Just leave one on the vine until it is well ripened to be sure the seeds are mature. I do the same with my cukes, i take the seeds from the fruit that has grown past the point where i would have eaten it and use it for seeds. -

Cut your zucchini open long ways down the center. Scoop out your middle with a spoon, and space them out to dry on a paper towel. After they dry for a few days, you might want to let them sit in the fridge for a week so they think they've over wintered. -

I love working in the garden. All my other veggies did great! I need to build something to keep the tomatoes and peppers covered when the first frost comes. SW Missouri weather is a bit unpredictable. I will plant my garlic on the side of the house next year instead of in my raised garden bed... -

I want to let my chickens free range in my garden now and then, but I have a lot of tomato plants. I know tomato plants are toxic. Will chickens leave them alone? -

The 3 sisters-Native Americans used it to grow corn, beans, and squash. Plant the corn and allow it to get strong enough to hold the beans. Plant the beans by the corn stalks to give them something to climb. Let squash grow on the ground at the base and it chokes out the weeds. Beans also enrich... -
