Kind of a bizarre comment whitehall?
I dont think anyone alive today thinks they 'invented' gardens or gardening.
I do though think that its not a very 'funny thing' that some corporations assisted by gov would love for us all to forget anything and everything about gardens and gardening etc.
Funny how some folks cant see beyond their own mind filters
Maybe a little bit out of line. I apologize for that. I have 90 acres and I guess I get a little smug about people who have to fight for every foot of dirt. My wife and I have an efficient recycle schedule. We burn paper stuff in an outdoor stove that also helps heat the house. Plastic and metal go to the county recycle center. Food scraps go to the dogs or chickens and chicken litter goes in the garden. I dig the beds by hand every year but the crazy spring we are having has set us back almost a month.
I hear ya, much of the same weather issues where I am as well and it seems to be effecting everything.
I don't have that much land by any means (wish i did though) but we are still behind as well.
Most of my metal gets reused by me usually...actually i tend to reuse or remake anything i can get my hands on lol...can't see the point in buying stuff all the time etc.
You must have a good seed collection I'm guessing?
No seed collection except what we didn't use last year. You can't trust genetically altered plants to produce good seeds and everything is questionable. We pick a pack from Lowes or Walmart. Once in a while I get a bug to grow giant pumpkins. In order to grow giant pumpkins you have to get giant pumpkin seeds from champion growers and I get them on line. I grew hundred pounders in the past but that's chump change to real pumpkin growers. Maybe I'll try it again this year if the weather ever warms up.
