I have been given a dozen sprouted tomatoes peppers and other herbs in cups. My house is situated such that none of the windows provides much sunlight. I am looking at a small temporary greenhouse sold by TSC as in the title of this post. Not looking for much just a place to let these little guys mature and harden up a bit before the threat of frost passes, and the ground in the garden can be worked. Any thoughts or comments from owners of this thing ..read more

You guys know how to get fish worms right? You put two steel rods in the ground, about three feet apart, and put the Black and White leads of a 110 Circuit to the leads. In between the leads the worms will head for the surface like a Submarine in a panic surface. Well....when I was digging and moving some dirt a couple weeks ago I got some Cut worms that were huge. A half inch around and two inches long. Also got some of the smaller ones you normally see. I put them in a Cottage Cheese... Electric shock to get those Cut worms ..read more

My thumbs aren’t the greenest, so I’ve never tried gardening. My mom did when I was a kid though. She got mad because I kept digging up the carrots to see how big they were getting, then sticking them back into the ground. For the last couple years we’ve been raising pigs at our new homestead. This year we didn’t because our breeder’s stock had some health concerns. The crummy soil around here is pretty sandy and not much good for growing anything without fertilizer. So this year... Accidentally gardening ..read more
