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.

2009-09-17 mystery squash.... I think:

Heather, This looks like a squash that has crossed. And it looks too large to be gourds, which are poison. Squash is my favorite vegetable and I grow many kinds, but this one is not fully familiar
