@Chic Rustler @treerooted do y'all like butterbeans? I have a lot of Violet's Multicolored Butterbeans seeds I will be glad to share with you both. I also have seed for Hastings Prolific White Dent corn, it makes good eating corn or you can let it dry for cornmeal. If you feed it well with compost, water during growing with chicken poo tea, it will make 2 ears per stalk.

Just PM me your names and addresses.

What size garden are you planning on working with next year @Chic Rustler ?

It's 40x40 but I want to expand with some raised beds for the root crops and trellis all the vines as well

Lol, love it!


And thank you sooo much for the offer. Not sure how well those grow in zone 5a.

Either way I'm out of country so they probably wouldn't make it past the boarder.

Nice, I'm going to try and grow in that much space too. Though I may also make a separate "squash patch" and see what grows.

I have a little hill in the back yard that is going to become the cantaloupe patch. I got some seeds left from last year. They aren't worth a darn. Get huge, stay green and then get bad spots, but the chickens love em! Free chicken food

Growing any of your animal foods is a good thing! A couple extra plants of tomatoes are very popular with my flock. Turnips are another veg they like and it can be grown in Fall, left in ground where winter is not heavy frozen, pull and use as needed. My goats love any greens, carrots, squash, etc. Both like melons & pumpkins..any kind.

December is a busy, cold month for most of us and we long to be back out in the warm sunshine!! Great time to plan. Plus, most of us will be starting plants in late Jan thru March. Sorry, NH, you will be way behind this schedule -- with snow thru March/April (?) -- gardening late -- several others are in those cold climes.

Alost all seeds I will use are here. Hope I can get some winter wheat in a field or two to help grazing for Jan/Feb....a treat for the grazers, for sure! Need to find the seed for that, it's not part of my supplies. LOL

It's cold here -- sleet, sold, drizzly, messy, 2 mores days predicted -- I absolutely hate the cold weather!!! Add wind and it's just too much. Our worse months are Jan/Feb. So not looking forward to it!! Whining here. Ready for winter to be OVER....

3 inches of snow expected later today. Welcome to winter. We usually direct seed between Memorial Day and June 1st, so yeah just a little later than some others lol!

What country are you in? Could you add it to your avatar so old folks like me could remember where you are?
