I am moving to Pensacola in about a year from Indiana and need to learn what does well there--and what tolerates the total weather there--plus what about bugs? As for mulch, the pine needles are great for acid lovers like…

Hi Cathy. I have the same problem! Right now, I've got a freezer full of pumpkin and three more pumpkins on the bar in my kitchen. This list will provide you with many months of food. An average tomato plant, for example, yields 5-15 pounds of…

Posted on July 23, 2010 at 1:30pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Isn't it annoying when seed companies list their inventory in ounces

instead of seed numbers? After years of clicking through to equivalency
