I'm only container gardening, (as you can see on my blog) but always looking for ideas/info. If I'd done my research first, I wouldn't have started my squash the way I did, etc.<br /><br />I wouldn't stop if I grew something that spit charcoal briquettes either, there'd be a huge market for that among the summer bbq-ing folks. *grins*<br />and if your <I>carboarius respuere</I> could be trained to aim the briquettes, when ripe, at garden predators, even better.ForestJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536396154296555583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565734316555677541.post-85964519893277958452009-05-25T19:19:32.059-05:002009-05-25T19:19:32.059-05:00Holly correctly points out that the fiddle heads, ...Holly correctly points out that the fiddle heads, the young, coiled fern fronds are edible. <br /><br />To satisfy Forest Jane's curiosity, the Phactor does not manage any greenhouses, although he visits them regularily and uses their contents in many different ways. Having been raised in a gardening family, the Phactor would be hard pressed to live if there wasn't any garden to tend. So yes, a portion of my estate is intensively gardened for fruits and vegetables. However it is done for quality, for mental health, and as a way of life. If it helps my carbon footprint, then so much the better, but I probably wouldn't stop if it spit charcoal brickettes.The Phytophactorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064894836161407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565734316555677541.post-89935817272497006962009-05-24T21:52:46.004-05:002009-05-24T21:52:46.004-05:00Nice post!

Or does minding the greenhouses keep you busy?ForestJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536396154296555583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565734316555677541.post-91208668098789967252009-05-24T21:07:16.606-05:002009-05-24T21:07:16.606-05:00Absolutely fascinating.
