  • Catherine,
    I'm always blessed by the things you share on this forum. We would definitely miss out on so much if you weren't here. It such a pleasure to meet you yesterday at the market. Thanks for the message. I think the VPA will certainly try to be a presence at the Mesa Market when volunteers are able to staff it. I loved meeting everyone there. I think Bill and Roger will be able to come most often since they live in the area. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
  • Thank you, Catherine for your sweet compliments! :) I sure enjoy and process all of your advice, help, guidance. You cannot know how grateful I am to all the very seasoned gardeners that help all of us newbies and jr gardeners!

  • Catherine, I did a search on ginger and your post surfaced from over a year ago.  You mentioned that you were going to move your ginger to a shadier spot to try to achieve larger rhizomes.  I was wondering how that turned out for you.  I am contemplating planting ginger on a north facing wall that only gets sun in the dead of winter.

  • Thank you Catherine,

     Do you know anything about boysenberries.  I planted one last spring in the dormant stage. This spring it spouted out all over the place.  Am I supposed to trim it this first year?        Phil

  • I notice you have had success with alpine strawberries . I have sadly killed my share but adore them. Could you tell me where you got yours where you planted and when you planted.
    Thanks
  • To be clear, we do have one 50lb pack available for March 1. We also have 50lb packs, 1/4 and 1/2 cows available for July 1.

  • Thanks Catherine,

    I have been on this site since the summer and am just now getting a chance to explore! 

    I just love everyones stuff! 

  • Hi Catherine,

    I was perusing the forums and noticed several of your threads about the multiple BBC series' about farming - War Time, Edwardian and Victorian.  My husband and I love those series!  I thought I'd mention one more that I'm not sure you've found called  Tales from the Green Valley which is based in the late Tudor period.  It precedes all the others and led to their creation.  Here's the link:

"Jaimee, I do not have personal experience, but I found this thread on backyardchickens.  A nutrient deficiency may be the cause or other possibilities are discussed.

"Creative Liz and lucky you your little guy likes good-for-you foods!

Hassena gave me a recipe (never got to try it) a while back for avocado chocolate pudding / mousse.

Just proves you can hide anything in chocolate :-)

Thanks for posting."

"Hi Kerry:

This is a little unclear.

"I created a  called Friending Farmers that allows people to buy, sell, trade local food."

Just clarify a little.  :-)"

"Hi Alisa.  I believe I got them from Home Depot.  The plants produced more thorns than fruit.  When I say thorns I mean completely covered stalks and underground roots - it was the most amazing thing. Some how the plant morphed into a seriously…"

Catherine, The Herb Lady replied to Tom Gundlach's discussion Raspberries in Phoenix area in Rare & Exotic Fruiting Plants
"Tom we grew raspberries years ago - in full sun and they did so well we had to rip them out because the wild gene took over and the thorns were all over including the underground runners.  So my question would be did you grow them in full sun?"

Thank you for your thoughtful response.

I was curious about the production of a land bed to compare to the 9lb/2feet/10 months.  I actually found an article by Rosalind Creasy and Cathy Barash in Mother Earth News on an experiment they did together.…"
