Thanks! The farm is fun. But this year I think we will plant less than we had planned, especially with things that need to be picked every day. I will get some help too, but most of the work will be up to me. Maybe you can get someone to help you with the planting this year? Or even plant your...

Not sure if many people will remember me, I haven't been here in ages. I do tend to drop in and out for no particular reason. So hello everyone! I hope you and your kitties are doing well. I'm doing great here. I got engaged a little over a year ago (not sure if I told you that at the time or...

Thanks everyone! It's nice to always feel welcome here. If you have some websites to recommend, that would be great. So far, my experience with vegetables has been with balcony gardens. So switching from that to a few acres is a bit strange I've started most of my seedlings inside in cups made...

just came back from taking the dog for a long run out in the field. Then I fed her and now I am waiting for my own breakfast to be ready. I will go make a cup of tea while I wait. Joshua is hunting a fly. Given his natural talent, I would say that the poor fly has little more than a few years...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a long time. I have been sneaking around a little lately so I thought I would be polite and say hi. Things are going great here. I got engaged last Christmas and two weeks ago we moved into our own house on a little farm (7 acres). We will be gradually...

My understanding is that you should collect the first zucchinis early so that the plant will produce more.

Mine is doing great. I had some problems early on with squirrels digging up my plants and I lost some nice plants that way, but now things seem to be under control. My tomato plants have flowers and we should have tomatoes soon. I also have a few hot peppers and mini-bell peppers starting to...

I like a man who can smile with his eyes. Those little wrinkles at the corner of the eyes when someone smiles just make me melt

Yes!!! I'm off to a cabin in the woods with about 12 other people, most of them are close friends (others are friends of a friend). I'm so excited. I can't wait to get out of the city for a few days and spend long evenings by the campfire.

my backpack, a cup of tea (now empty), my purse, my outline for the thesis chapter I should be writing, a folder full of thesis-related notes.

Awwwwww congratulations!!

Oh, I didn't even think to look how much time until maturity. The kind I have takes 60-70days. It's also more resistant to cold than most cucumbers.

I'm in Montreal (so pretty far north). There is still chance of frost until mid-may. Right now it's warm enough to walk around in shorts, but last week it was snowing would it help if I covered my outdoor container to make a little greenhouse? Or maybe I'll try again to start it inside so at...
