I selected seeds that were “early” and “late” varieties ...

It’s only the 4th of January and I’m already enjoying fresh salads thanks to the Aerogrow. (see my other blog posts on the subject). We had spaghetti for dinner with some nice fresh crusty loaf of peasant bread. (We ate half the loaf!) About halfway through dinner I glanced over and realized we needed to have a salad too. That thing is really performing. I expect it’s already paid for itself with all the herbs we got last winter, and the fresh lettuce, picked mere seconds be...

I know I have been negligent in keeping up with my pages and friends here at GT, but as stated in my bio, I am a woodworker, not a gardener. Nevertheless, I do enjoy this time of year in Florida the most and our yard is singing right now, so I have to share with all my snowbound buddies. Here are our collards. Good luck eating for the new year. And a our Polish National Fruit. This geranium took off on its own from seed left from last year’s plant. My wife transplanted it to a ...

Chick-Pea Pudding In Newfoundland it is common to have peas-pudding (yellow split peas) with a cooked dinner. However the soaking and boiling is time-consuming.
