Popular Post Mark J Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Freed, you should make jam, then include one jar with every set of kitchen cabinets as sort of your signature. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably give a lot away this year. I planted enough sweet corn to make one row about a third of a mile long. I'll give most of that away.

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 How do you find time to build kitchens??? As a kid, I spent many summers in Grandpa's "garden" next door. One year, aside from a reasonable amount of peas, tomatoes, potatoes, etc..., we had almost 3 acres of silver queen corn. All cultivated with a roto-tiller and a hoe. Picked by hand, shucked by hand, cooked, creamed and canned by hand. I don't miss all that work, but I sure do miss the fresh corn! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a "weed free" gardener. If my Troybilt Horse doesn't get the weeds I just let them grow and thow a little extra fertilizer on. Sometimes it isn't real pretty, but I always get a good crop. I like growing things, but don't have time to work it up at harvest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
