That is so funny! I also use the jar bands on the bottom of my pot with the rack on top of them because I find that my skinny 1/2 pint jars get tippy without the extra surface. Also, I use them to give a little more room for water circulation undern…

Yesterday I prepped several beds for our fall crops and then sowed seeds I had saved from our previous year's plants. Two of those double-rows will be framed in later for winter gardening. We are in Zone 6B/7A and must have protection or we'll have…

Thanks Cornelia. We all trip and stumble through the trials of homesteading-realizing we're not breaking new universal ground, just our little space. I thought this space may be the place to encourage the ripple effect of unearthing our new ground.

Oh, also, I forgot to add, I've been hardcore grilling your csa cookoff hustle and everything looks so delicious! I've been squirreling away a bunch of the recipes to try, you've totally inspired me yet again!

It's the worst! So yeah, future ex-husband Dr. Claw IMPOUNDED and then yesterday, to make Everything Even More The Worst, the landlord is making me take out alllll the vegetables he gave me permission to grow in the front because it "looks bad" and he says the neighbors are complaining. WHACK! I'm not sure if there's any way I can transplant squash or sweet potato vines...GREATJUSTGREAT. However, the tiny silver lining is that after illegally moving some to my fire escape, the view out my bedroom window is nicer?

I just don't know why The Man always has to bring us down.

I enjoy this site very much, look forward to learning and adding my $.02.

Thanks, Cornelia. I'll look into the cross-posting. I haven't had much time for my blog with all the canning -- it's easier to pop in and out of Homegrown! lol

Thanks for the Welcome. I grew up on a farm, was in 4-H as a kid and have always had a garden. Now I'm 55 with 15 acres, have a small greenhouse, planted 200 tomatoes plants this year and in the process of making tomato soup, salsa, you name it if it has tomatoes in it I've tried it. I am getting laid off from my job 9/30 and would like to do more next year and make a living.

Thank you for the welcome! I don't get online too much, but I'd love to chat about forest gardening with others who are interested in it. :) It is highly inspiring, and if I might suggest a wonderful book to get a person inspired: "Forest Gardening: Cultivating an Edible Landscape" by Robert Hart. It's not exactly a "how-to" book, but it is wonderful, charming, and very, very inspirational :).
Kind regards!
