Figured I'd start 1. Please share.
Started my plants on an exercise program..
Oscillating fan on a. Timer to strengthen them.
Any tips or suggestions welcomed .
I'm looking to purchase berries soon. Your favorite strawberry that produce well ?
I did a 3 tier circular patch using landscape edging before that worked well .

Although I always start seeds at home it seems I always have better luck and the most production from seeds I start in the ground. Will be a regular poster here

How the heck can a guy get rid of that stupid Tomato Blight?    If the early blight doesn't get me with stunted or nasty tasting fruit, the late blight wipes me out.    I got hit hard with the late blight when it was flying around the area and I understand the blight survives in the soil but I used gardening soil, from a supplier and grew plants in pots (that did well til the fruits tried ripening) last year and still got whacked. 

I had a problem 2 years ago. Nothing last year . Calcium helped well. Maybe last season was just a different strain of tomatoes for me.

Is there a strain you'd recommend ? I can't remember what I had years ago but think they were a June bearer. I see all the stores in town have bunches of annuals and fruits already.

I do raised beds due to heavy clay soil here.
It works well and I been getting crates from work that are discarded.
The 1 today is huge and I can cut in half to make 2 beds. The other crate I'm thinking of all peppers.

There are just add-ons to the beds I already have been using for years.

Question: Chickens:
I haven't had chickens in 40 years. We had a barn then.
My son is looking and building a chicken group for eggs. Tips to help are welcome.
We built a pen from pallets and the coup is going on top in the framed box.
Honestly, I want nothing to do with chickens but any suggestions folks can pass along will cut down on the mistakes.
Thanks

My son wants chickens also. I'm trying to talk him out ov it still.

I figure I would be far ahead $$ wise not having chickens. Especially in the winter when you can't let them out. There is not enough meat on good egg layers. They are excellent pest control though.

👍 thanks. It says 24 plants. I know they spread. My Thoughts are towards a 10' diameter circle with 2 smaller progressive ones on top . Recomendations to quantity of plants and or mixing varites ?
I did something like that before and it worked well . It got out of control but I don't remember mixing or if I did a double batch = 48 plants. Birds and slugs were my enemy's
