Christina Jane Danley replied to James R. Fink's discussion Alpaca Pooh in the group Vegetable Gardens"I couldn't imagine a very good garden without manure.

Beit-Alpha Cucumbers
Has anybody had any experience raising these middle-eastern cucumbers? I just sent off for seed--usually raise a more common variety like Marketmore 76, say.

Saving seeds
I hate to waste a good seedpod. I love the cheap, open pollinated varieties from the drugstore, though sometimes I'll fork over the dough if it's an heirloom. I usually try to recycle stuff like cosmos & marigolds. A couple years ago I had a mixed heirloom tomato package from Burpee and I separated out the varieties. Everything was doing fine, the babies (Black Krim & Yellow Sunburst) were hardening off on the porch roof and I left for school as a frost hit. It killed the tomatoes and…See More
