Garden Girl replied to Anne Chastain's discussion There goes another pair of good shoes!!! in the group Gardener's Lounge"My story always begins with, "I'll just get this one weed really quick." LOL
Things I've learned:
White is not the best color shoe for me to get.
There are two types of clothing: work clothes and those I don't ever wear…"

Harry Larsen replied to Anne Chastain's discussion There goes another pair of good shoes!!! in the group Gardener's Lounge"Blinders wouldn't work for me. I can't help but admire my garden as I walk out the door and I'd run smack into the back of one of our cars!"

Anne Chastain commented on patsy costner's group They Canned...So Can You and I"That must be an older copy Elaine. Currenty the USDA does not recommend canning pumpkin. They say its because it is too dense to guarantee temperature all the way through the jar, even in pressure canning. There are some places online that claim…"
Anne Chastain replied to Nancy Parke's discussion When to dry oregano, thyme and basil? Also, my thyme is looking kinda sick. in the group Herbs"I've always heard of making pesto when the basil is at its peak and then freezing it in ice cube trays. You are supposed to be able to then empty the cube of frozen basil into ziplock bags for use later. I tried it today. This better be good…"
Anne Chastain commented on patsy costner's group They Canned...So Can You and I"Leilani, I'd dehydrate them. Sundried tomatoes are wonderful and the Krims have such amazing flavor."
Anne Chastain replied to Violet's discussion Can you preserve veggies? in the group Joining the Preserves"Researching canning can get overwhelming. I'd start with what do you have in your garden that you can't eat fast enough to keep up with the output, then look into the various ways to preserve that. My favorite resource is Rodale…"
Anne Chastain replied to Karen Erdman's discussion Needing some ideas !!! in the group Gardener's Lounge"Karen, some of my favorite plants for areas like that are barberry bushes. They will thrive in lower light conditons but can also take sun. They have thorns on them which deters my enormous dog from getting too close and the foliage is spectacular.…"

diana Z9 Houston, Texas said… - when you can your tomatoes in jars, make sure you stick a wooden spoon in the jar and get all the bubbles out and mash the tomatoes down in the jar all the way. When I was starting out, I had a lot of juice in the jar with little tomato. But when you do it many times, it takes practice. Let me know how it works.

Randy Anderson zn.5/Il. USA said… - morning, On your question on your hosta. Hosta's sometimes have new growth that takes on the characteristics of the parent plants or a new plant of it's own [new variety]. Some people call this process reverting or sporting. I just keep taking out the part I don't want. I keep having the same problem every year,too. You cann't make big hostas by dividing them every year. A little frustrated!
