"My husband heard this on the radio one day and said it reminded him of me. Lol! I can't seem to find your recommendation on youtube. I'll keep trying. Thanks for sharing!"

Raised Bed Gardens 2011

"Very nice! I love the patio stones. Easy to replace if needed and they'll last a long time. And, it kinda gives them a tidy, pulled together look. If that makes sense. Lol! Great idea! ~ Lisa"

"Hi Lisa I'm mailing out the bumpy squash seeds today, hope they produce for you. They really got big here but the squash bore finally won. Looking forward to the pepper seeds Ellen"

"Wow! Nice harvest Ellen! We are growing our potatoes in these barrels this year, and as you can see, my corn hasn't started to tassel yet. It's been another wet June here. 4th in a row. Peppers and tomatoes are just kind of existing. Not…"

The Subrural Homestead replied to euro limo's discussion three sisters

"I've never done a "Three Sisters" garden but I do grow green beans with my corn. A "Two Sisters" garden. I don't plant my beans until the corn is 5"-7" tall. As far mechanical tillage, I guess it would depend…"

The Subrural Homestead commented on Earth School's blog post Plantain – A Wonder-Full Weed Indeed

"I'm not allergic to bee stings, but I am a hiker that sometimes tends to push myself. Now I know I can just grab a handful of Plantain for a quick energy boost. I have spent years trying to eradicate this from my garden. Now that I plan to eat…"

The Subrural Homestead commented on Daisy's blog post Harvesting Honey

"Thanks Daisy, I'm not going to give up on my dream. I'm not one to let a grumpy gus rain on my parade! Someone suggested I use attractant and try to lure a wild swarm. Once I save enough egg money to purchase my hive I think I'll try…"

The Subrural Homestead replied to Ellen Peavey's discussion Egg Plant or not

"Hi Ellen, When I first saw it, I thought it might be Turkish Orange Egg Plant, now that you say it's turning orange, I bet it is. Here's a pic of them I stole online Lol! I also found this one of a green one I'll bet that's what…"

The Subrural Homestead replied to Ellen Peavey's discussion Egg Plant or not

"I'm no botanist, but it definitely looks more like an egg plant than a tomato. I'd say it's some sort of heirloom egg plant. I'd love to see a picture when it's ready. Maybe we could trade seeds?"

The Subrural Homestead replied to Squash Hollow Farm's discussion When they say "I could never..."

"I just say "Really? I could never eat an animal that has never seen daylight, or had a breath of fresh air, or tasted a real bug. But, if you like your meat raised in a tiny cage, injected with hormones and fed "medicated" food, then…"

The Subrural Homestead commented on Daisy's blog post Harvesting Honey

"Thank you so much for this post! I dream of one day having bees. I talked to a guy that has a hive on his roof and all he told me was "Good luck, It's expensive, a lot of work, and chances are your hive will collapse." After a brief…"

It's been another wet June here. 4th in a row. Peppers and tomatoes are just kind of existing. Not alot of growth. They really need some sunshine but it doesn't look we'll have any until maybe next week.

Meanwhile, the cabbage and cauliflower that didn't bolt, are doing great! Now I wish I had left the ones I pulled out because I didn't think they'd get big enough heads. >./p>

2 weeks ago I thought for sure summer was here. Guess not. Thanks to the weather we are still eating delicious salads though. And peas too!

Lol! Here are my green beans!
