Not new, but I haven't posted to the comm in over 2 years. :)
Like any parent who has their kid living in the house for too long, I have been wanting them out the door as soon as I can! Heh. I hope you like squash so you can cook up a bunch of different recipes?
I tried growing some herbs during the winter and failed so hard. I even tried growing lavender and that was just awful. I need a better plan of attack for plants.
Greetings! I didn't start using the DW until this exodus made me realize I gotta go!
I definitely want these squash out the door; I think I'm losing a few to fungal/bacteria in one of my planters. I tried copper fungicide for one trough and I'm not sure if it's doing it right, so I need to look into antibiotics at this rate, I think, ugh.
I still have three that are healthy and budding though, so I'm hopeful! I REALLY need to find some good recipes for spaghetti squash though; the one this came from was a gift and I spent the time before trying to figure out what to do with them. At the worst, I guess, my office can get a surplus of produce, ha!
Yeah, herbs are driving me crazy! Everyone tells me things like "mint is indestructible!" and I never get the seeds to get much farther. Technically, savory is supposed to be one of the hardiest things out there as well (I originally found out about it from foraging guides, for crying out loud) and all the seeds sprouted, but it just refuses to go past sprouting! Utter failure on my part.
I haven't tried growing mint, but I've killed a whole lot of other herbs that people told me were very easy to grow and maintain. Like basil! I am a huge basil killer. :|
