    3 Sisters Method question and adaptation question?

    With the note that I don’t have the space to have tried any of this myself, I have heard of swapping out the corn for sunflowers, and swapping out the squash for melons. I also don’t know any reason why you couldn’t use peas instead of beans if that’s your preferred legume.

    Your 2026 Garden

    I’ll have to remember that. When I dehydrated my kale the whole house smelled like broccoli. Which I don’t mind, but then I was hungry for broccoli. 😋

    Your 2026 Garden

    Mine are usually a full story off the ground and inside the area my cat is allowed outside in so I don’t know how much I can help, but I had an issue with rabbits nibbling down my tarragon which was solved by putting a chicken wire cloche over it until it got too big to interest them. Or could...

    Feeding Wild Birds

    I was out of suet blocks so I had to make up a new batch. I love my little silicon mold, it’s so convenient! The down side was that used up most of my leftover fat, so I guess I need to make more burgers at some point. Also I might be imagining it but I think the goldfinches are starting to get...

    I got a response back already! Here it is in case anyone else is curious: “Thank you for reaching out! Kazak melons will not cross-pollinate with watermelons, as they are different species. They can, however, cross with other muskmelons, cantaloupes, and honeydews, which are within the same...

    Native gardeners in the southeastern US

    I was going to recommend Pollinator Pathways, but I’m looking at their site and not seeing a sub-site for Tennessee. 🤔

    MIGardener had a livestream and was trying to tempt everyone to grow Kazakh melons. I must resist for now. They’ve been on my ‘hey those look fun I should try them’ list for a bit, but I have too much building maintenance this year for anything big and viney unless I wanted to try them indoors...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Yes, I keep having to go stare at my onion sprouts and pot beans and remind myself that the peppers and tomatoes need to wait until March. I started my onions back in January. :oops:

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Most of my gardening activity today was looking up old victory garden diagrams and realizing they’re screamingly inefficient. 😱 But I did check my beans today and one of them has already found the stake. 🎉

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I completely neglected to put some stakes in my bean pots, will have to do that tomorrow.

    Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

    I went and saw Iron Lung today. Keeping in mind I might be missing some context since I haven’t actually played the game it’s based on, it was a little too head-screwy for my taste. Dialogue was frequently hard to understand too. On the flip side, the acting was good. Someone had a lot of fun...

    Made no-bake cookies for my neighbor this weekend. I should make them more often; I forgot how fast they were.

    Any Gamers Here?

    Recently finished my fifth Grimshire run. I need to find something else to distract me from it; it’s still in Early Access and at this rate I’m going to burn myself out on it before Year 2 comes out. 🤪

    I don’t make it myself, but I know of a winery that makes rhubarb wine. 🍷 It’s pleasantly tart.
