About bussete1

I started using the website to do research because I had a black thumb. My first summer using this website, I stuck to the easy stuff - herbs and a couple tomato plants. I only managed to kill a couple plants. My second summer, I had a full-blown vegetable garden. I think that summer upgraded me to a brown thumb. Right now I'm working on turning my thumb to an olive green. Thanks everyone for all your help!

I went to all the seed companies I could think of and ordered seed catalogues. I want rutebagas in my garden this summer, but I can't find seeds locally. If I'm buying one thing from the seed companies, I might as well buy it all from there because...

Patience and Planning
It's only December and I'm ready for winter to be over. This is the first year that we'll be able to eat the asparagus! My tastebuds are tingling with the thought. I did better fall garden prep than usual this year, so I'm itching to see how black...
