Heather Stone Thank you for this!!

Donna G Is it too late to start in zone 6b?

John Ehrling I would wait until it gets a little cooler out Donna.

Indoor seedlings are sprouting! Any of you starting indoors?

Bren looking good!!!!

Amber Yep! I get daily pictures from my husband of new happenings in the mornings when he goes to the home office to work haha.

What’s grow’in on in your garden?

Camp Joy Tomatoes grow really well! What varieties of tomatoes do you like to grow?

Bren I've never heard of this variety. I am trying a new Better Boy this year along with a Purple Zebra. I've got some really pretty mini-varieties just starting to flower on my Hydroponic set up indoors I'll have to share with you.

John Ehrling Please do!

Do you use plastic in your garden? I think there are many advantages to using plastic. Keeping the ground warm, while also reducing weeds.

Bren straw works the same... breaks down nice too! I spread it on my large garden around a few plants and down the walkway to keep weeds out. The seeds do find their way through later in the summer but nothing I can't pull by hand even in this large bed. Just an idea that works for me.

True or false?

Cherry Tomato from the garden.

Lizzie Perfection!

Yaniv Beautiful

Heather Stone gorgeous!

Anyone ever considered growing vines for their own wine? I took this photo at a local winery a while back. I hear growing grapes for wine is extremely difficult and time consuming.

Lizzie We have a few grape plants that should be ready to harvest this year. I have not looked into how much you would need but deffinitly curious!

Heather Stone Someone local to me has a vineyard. I have no idea how they do it!

Hettie We inherited some concord grapes when we bought our rural property three years ago. They are old vines. They seem to thrive on neglect because each year they're heaving with grapes. The birds eat lots of them and we've made some tasty jellies. I would suggest you plant some and see what happens.
