Yum, udon noodles! <br /><br />I've had to replace my tarragon plant as I seem to have lost it (kept it in a container over winter and now no idea where it is - think I dumped it accidentally). Anyway, if my new plant does well, I must remember to try that flavoured vinegar. I also use tarragon often - my favourite is tarragon and mint steeped in boiled water than cooled and served with ice. Very refreshing.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-57816913159400978712017-06-12T15:11:13.152-04:002017-06-12T15:11:13.152-04:00Yes, not feeling soupy today!Yes, not feeling soupy today!Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-60962310758598530882017-06-12T15:10:32.149-04:002017-06-12T15:10:32.149-04:00That sounds like a good technique, but very labor ...That sounds like a good technique, but very labor and space intensive for the amount we want to grow.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-28525798284368203262017-06-12T15:09:39.561-04:002017-06-12T15:09:39.561-04:00I try to always put Sluggo around brassicas when t...I try to always put Sluggo around brassicas when they are small.

Have you experimented with germinating the corn seeds before planting them? I did that with zucchini and cucumbers this spring after sowing some seeds in pots and having them all rot. The ones I started on moist paper towels in baggies on my heat mat almost all grew quite well when I potted them up. I lost a couple of cucumbers that I sowed directly after germinating them, but one of those was to the birds.

S...Some lovely harvests - that tatsoi is beautiful! Some of my tatsoi seedlings were eaten by what I think were slugs early on in the season as was a komatsuna that I was growing in the same area. I sowed our beans a few weeks ago - I think it was the tail end of the super cool weather and all came up except for the soybeans, which had zero germination, which was very disappointing. I hope that I have a few seeds left to resow at least enough to give me some seed for next year.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-61523294705626713322017-06-12T09:56:57.769-04:002017-06-12T09:56:57.769-04:00Your greens are doing fantastic with your cool spr...Your greens are doing fantastic with your cool spring.
