Starting cukes/squash inside
from Backwoodswife on 03/31/2015 02:43 AMDoes anyone start these inside? My plant out date is 5/19 ish and I was thinking about starting these inside this year about 4 weeks before last frost. Wondering if anyone has any pros/cons on this? Thanks!
Re: wow no one comes on here anymore
from Backwoodswife on 03/31/2015 02:38 AMSorry everyone, I am guilty of this as well! Things have been busy for me not much time to post, but I do check in pretty much every day to check messages and see what's new:) There has been alot of great people working hard to make this site work 
we can't give up on it just yet:) Maybe seed trading is dying down, as planting time nears and there will be more excitment when things start popping up!

Re: What Tomatoes are you growing this year
from Backwoodswife on 03/02/2015 01:57 AMWe freeze, can and dry them, eat alot of salsa and give alot away to friends! I plan on doing about 150 plants in all.
This year I am going to try freezing some, skins and all fresh from the garden, I usually blanch them first but have read fresh works really well. Anyone try this before? About 4 years ago we began freezing our other veggies (beans, turnips, summer squash, etc...) without blanching first, I am so happy we did! They last all winter and taste better than they did when we were going through all that work to blanch them!
