I did some updates last night and for some weird reason the top menu bar for logging in is not showing until you log in. To make it easier I added the login box in the sidebar again. Please let me know if you have any trouble.

It sounds like your garden is coming a long well!
I would love to get some cold frames made this year. We still have some old windows left over from when we made the greenhouse. -

We have big garden plans this year. The stores are higher and higher in prices and lower in quality. Finally my boxes (cold frames) are thawed out so I can seriously plan on starting some cool weather […]

Kim,
The purple beans are called Royalty Purple Pod and I bought them through Baker’s Creek.
Stay warm and dry.

Theresa, I tried a few types of beets last year to. I think one was yellow and the other was white. Neither did well, but I can’t blame the varieties!
Gloryfarm, what type of purple beans did you grow? […]

Kim,
I tried a variety of Hubbard squash called Boston Marrow. It’s a heritage kind and produced huge, orange squash. They’re a drier squash, but good tasting. I also tried growing some quinoa which […]

I too am planning the garden. I am trying to extend the growing season into early spring and late fall with our cold frames. That will mostly spinach, lettuces, radishes and other cool weather crops.
Some of my favorite varieties are the Bonny Best tomatoes, Mountain Fresh Tomatoes, Amish paste, San Marzano and hogheart paste. These have worked…[Read more] -

Hi Kim!
Our red beets did great last year, but I’m not sure of the variety! We are going to try an orange variety this year with them. They are in the Seeds of Change catalog

Well, my cold frame growing has come to an end. Oh well, got an extra 2 months of growing lettuce, onions, etc in them. Learned a lot about doing this as well. It needs sun to keep the heat. This week our temperatures hoovered around 30 -35 and at night dropped into the low 20s. Had a couple of teens too. So the ground started freezing in…[Read more]

the few extra months must have been wonderful! I am already excited about starting seed. I am starting perennial seeds in January and will start the harder to germinate things like peppers and tomatoes in February. It will be interesting to see what the 2013 gardening season will hold. I have my seed orders all ready to send to Baker’s and…[Read more]

Yes enjoyed it. I want to take one box and put an arched plastic cover on it and see if that is better than windows. The windows get so heavy after awhile. I would like to start it up earlier in the spring then run it again into the fall. You can plant spinach too. Haven’t worked on seed orders yet.
-
So glad that you were able to extend the season a lot!!
-
Oh my, I haven’t even started making out my orders yet. lol I need to look at that soon though!

I think animals are one of the best weather predictors you can get! I need to find a place to get my light stand set up soon. I would like to try starting the peppers really early this year and see if that helps. My onion seeds to! Last year I had it out in the summer kitchen but dh has emptied that room as he’s sanding the drywall now. It…[Read more]
