Yukon Gold potatoes. Two fifty ft. rows, whole small potatoes planted whole on one ft centers, rows on five ft. centers. " Seed (KEY practices) For best stand, small whole seed ("single-drops") should be used due to uneven distribution of eyes which are mostly at the bud end. For cutting to...

The seeds are already 99.94% male. Then after they are planted and mature enough to show male or female one may 'weed out' the females. Asparagus can get weedy with it's own seedlings as it reduces the quality of the spears.

A garden tour this morning with photos taken this morning. We got down to 39°F and we've got peppers, corn and tomatoes growing. We made out good. A brief description is posted just above each photo. The flower pots in the garden are for collecting rocks. Top Chop hybrid collards. 40 plants...

I hardly ever get catalogs and perfer browsing web pages instead. Saves a tree. You ought to consider not having a bigger garden with the obsticles you face. 'How to protect my vegetable garden from neighboring agricultural spraying' would be a good thread to start. Maybe the title would...

Walker looks interesting. Millennium likes it cooler than I am here at the edge of zone 8A. Might work for you. https://www.ufseeds.com/product/millennium-f1-asparagus-roots/ASMI.html Here's a couple I belive I'll order later today...

I agree. There is certainally some minor pruning that an arborist knowledgeable with such trees could do but nothing that we could teach easily over the internet.

Good questions. These are volunteer seedlings I did not know I had until I was weeding yesterday. They may well have grown some last season un-noticed. I marked them yesterday with little plastic stakes and dug them with my fingers this moring and transplanted them in the light rain we were...

Buy local asparagus if you can! I'm sure you do.

Sunday morning slow rain coming down. (There's a couple of songs in that there) More than anyone wants to hear about asparagus. I was walking the garden this morning in the beautiful slow rain that we are getting. We need it. Found nine more asparagus seedlings. I bet we get 100 seedlings...

I've been out working in the garden and took this video of me digging with my Meadow Creature Broad Fork. The bed is 50ft. long and I dug it 14 inches deep in just a little under 11 minutes. This broad fork is the best gardening tool I've ever had, bar none, except my Troy Bilt 8hp Horse tiller...

Likely he was pulling the stump to the side so he could get down in the hole and cut more roots. Maybe even head first. He may have cut a root or dug soil and the root ball shifted in the hole pinning him. Or a similar scenario with an uprooted tree stump. Or maybe one of the stump support...

I understand your dilemma all to well but in the end you are not going to change ag practices on your neighboring properties. I suggested a move for your physical and mental well being.

I would move. But I never would have chosen to live in the middle of ag fields to begin with. Ditto with landfills and their well known contamination of groundwater, etc.

It is or was made by Amish evidently. I bought directly from them some time ago but don't remember where and they had a much better price. It's really a pretty simple hoe and I bet a lot of the guys here on the forum could make a good one. Seeing one in person would be all of the info they need...

I'd like to make one in the future using that was a solid piece of stainless without the worm gear holes. My hoop hoe is only best for very specific applications. Here's a hoe I have that I like better than the stirrup hoe design and I use it more often, too. You control how much it digs in by...

Looks like planting and side dressing.

I have three sizes of stirrup hoes plus one a foot wide for my Planet Jr. wheel hoe. The Craftsman action hoe is a stirrup hoe. To begin with stirrup hoes are quite limited, as is my hoop hoe, only in different ways. Then there is the $30. And in the end some of the weeding task I do the...

Just remember that it is a delicate instrument only capable of killing small weeds. Use the lightest handle you can find. I've also got a smaller version only 18" long.

Thanks. Other arborist are likely to speak up shortly, a few already have.
