Thanks for the tip on staggering of growing lettuce in the wood pallets my son can the pallets from his job for free. My oldest son and I dug up roughly 80 wild ramps (still 100's left) growing on a embankment a couple miles away from my house... we cleared a area under a birch tree on the...

I bought almost all Heirloom seeds this year so I can save the seed and hope to never buy seed again.. Wondering if anyone else has done this?

I'm glad you agree. My dh, myself and 3 son's plus my disabled brother lived in a trailer for 10yrs until we bought our house..we were cramped (still are really as this is a small house) but we loved our trailer.

rancher hicks~ not sure what you mean by your comment? City living and Country living are entirely different is all I meant by my post.

I can truly say that I'm living my dream everyday.

So glad your living your dream.

I've always been a country girl couldn't imagine living in the city--I'm sure you felt the same living in the country. I'm doing this for many many reasons but mostly because I can does that make sense?

Rancher Hicks~ I guess I don't fit into the hobby gardener as I'm in to grow as much of my own fruit and vegetables to consume fresh and to preserve. I do have my chickens strictly for their eggs. We do eat some wild edibles..ramps, wild garlic, wild onion, nettles, wild asparagus, wild...

I always do research before trying to attempt anything so no worries.. What is considered a hobby gardener if I may ask?

I didn't think it was to late and good idea on the staggering.. I did plant leftover sprouted potatoes from the farmers market I bought last year in a old half barrel but no results yet.. I really would like to grow enough potatoes to last until the next growing season but haven't come up...

Is it late to plant potato seed? I plan on having my hubby make me some potato planters out of hardware clothe and post this weekend.

Has anyone started their own vegetable & flowers seeds yet? I've decided to grow all my vegetables and flowers from seed instead of buying the starts and paying for something I can do myself.. The thing that has stop me from trying this years ago is I have a hard time with trying to do new...

I raw pack without any water added as the chicken makes it's own juice...I use 10psi so check your altitude first.

Looking forward to hearing how you made out with the potatoes.

Rancher Hicks~ for the past 3-years I've been growing the tomatoes in grow bags that I planted in new bags with fresh soil..my plants come from a couple place's that I buy locally and have for many years they are from local farmers.. I was told that if blight is in the air there is a 3-mile...

Chicken girl 15~ my garden tomatoes got blight again for the 6th year in a row anyway, my friend's tomatoes were producing more then they needed so I bartered a couple dozen of my free range eggs for his extras a great trade imo.
