Expertise

I can answer questions about natural gardening. We refer to our type of gardening as Orthodox organic. We do not use chemicals of any kind for pest control or plant growth. I can offer information regarding the growth of herbs and spices, as well. I can also share some canning and freezing tips for enjoying home grown vegetables year round. Growing vegetables provides healthy benefits for the body and the mind.

Experience in the area

We live on what I believe is now termed a hobby farm. We are Messianic missionaries and raise all of our own vegetables, and some fruit. The change in the grocery budget is absolutely amazing.

2012-01-17 too late for tomato plant?:

Hello Kay,  It definitely sounds like the humidity and moisture have take their toll.  I've got an idea, but it's only an idea and I hope it helps.  Place rice around the base of your plant, uncooked rice

2011-10-25 Cucumber pickling:

Dear Anne,  I continue to be on a quest for the perfect crisp dill pickle.  I have found two things that help.  First, I soak the pickles, if whole, I poke them with a fork, otherwise sliced or spears
