We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!! We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more. We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for our family. GMO foods are causing us (our family) many allergy problems and we are trying to get away from them completely. We harvest, freeze, can and dehydrate all our produce. So far we have done well and are continuing to try to have our produce last all year till the next harvest.

He is a heartless man. |

LOL! He is laughing at you! Not heartless, he said, he just did not realize it was my Christmas tree. :) |

Why do so many of my carrots look like they want to be trees. I assume they are bolting, and going to flower, but why so many? All the different varieties are doing it and all are from seed pla... more » |

Are you using some of those seeds from Gilligan's Island? |

Too funny! But I sure wish I could find out what is wrong. I guess they are bolting, but i do not understand why. |

| New day and New Beginnings for YGS... :) Jun 14, 2012 | ||
|
|
Well, it is finally here. Earlier for some than others, with the time differences across the country. I will miss the site for the day it takes to upgrade it, but I am so looking forward to the changes. Just the thought of it being "faster" is enough for me. I sure hope it all goes smoothly and that we will all be soon,... ...see more |

it's much better now:) much faster! the notifications don't unbold when you click on them anymore, so i get confused. but other than that, i love it! |
|
I still use the Email notifications.... but the Feedback button is still on the left side, just hit that and leave your comment.... who knows, maybe it will be fixed. :) |
|
i noticed that in the notification window the time something is posted is unbolded until you click on that notification to view it. it's still different. or i could have that completely backwar... more » |

I feel the same way. Thank you. |
|
Maybe the spider just loves the flower so much she is wrapping it for a rainy day? |
|
Well, I wish her all the luck.... but I really do not want to watch. I hope she likes the bad bugs of the garden. |

| Airplane spraying again............ Jun 12, 2012 | ||
|
|
Well, since the "over spray" incident, we have been much more aware of what is happening in the fields around us. The spray that killed our plants was being sprayed from a big tractor with wings that spread out about 100 feet, with nozzles on them to spray. Well, since then, there has been a 'crop duster' plane flying... ...see more |
