    can i harvest potatoes?

    If they're showing above ground, definitely harvest them. When exposed to light, they start to get greenish skins, which you don't want. Dig up one plant to see where they are in terms of size.

    Don't you hate it when..?

    Do you know the causes for failure?   I have several dud peppers this year and it sucks. But my tomatoes are raging, whereas last year they sucked. No matter what measures I take - companion planting, rotation, ferts, compost - I get the feeling there is a rotational garden karma thing going on...

    Are Bonnie Plants Crap Or What?

    I bought a Bonnie ghost on a whim. Didn't need it. It sucks. Could be me or Bonnie. I'll blame Bonnie.

    [Jul 2] What are you working on this week?

    Homemade pickles. Cukes are coming in like crazy. Picked first peppers - piment d' bresse. First time growing them. They have nice flavor - smoky, earthy, punch of fruit. Been grilling for almost a week straight, since it's too hot to cook indoors.

    Another Great Weekend in the 13th Century

    I had an Arthurian legend class in college that was pretty cool. The prof invited a couple people to class one day - a guy dressed in chain mail and carrying a battle ax and a mysterious woman dressed in a cloak. They were way into it - especially when the Viking slammed his ax handle to the...

    Job at 14 - Good or Bad?

    I started working at 14. My parents didn't force me, but they said "if you want stuff, you need to work for it." I worked during the school year and every summer starting from that point - I loved working in the summer because I got great jobs - helping janitors at my local schools, working on...

    Your first super hot stories

    I guess about 20 years ago my mother planted an orange hab plant in the garden for me and my brother.We must have said we liked spicy food, but back then, I know neither of us knew anything about it. Parents went away on vacation, my brother said the correct thing to do was grill habs and eat...

    Companion observation

    I love planting nasturtium, but again, I had my every-other-year bad results. It's weird, every other year I can't germinate either new or harvested seed. I've had great trouble and great success with Nasturtium and parsley.   I'm pretty sure catnip offends everything but cats. But I've never...

    Companion observation

    This topic has been brought up frequently. I always plants various herbs around my peppers to repel pests. I must not have been paying attention to how much slugs like basil before this year. I mean, they really like it. I also noticed that the peppers I have that are planted by volunteer...
