Replying to: gagrice (Mar 23, 2009 8:39 am) I just heard there was a flood warning in the county where Long Prairie is. Actually, I thought is was much closer to the Twin Cities. I hope everything works out and the farm is not affected by the floods! I never thought of plum brandy on ice cream  The one we get is by order from a store out state that imports it. My dad makes his own,but mainly grape brandy. My home country is Bulgaria. We manage to get seeds for some plants, tomatoes and cucumbers mainly, but haven't had luck with cucumbers that much. We planted two in improvised flower beds by the house and I think three more in a pot and let them crawl up on ties cross-tied on the deck posts. That was I believe two years ago and only the ones by the house rewarded us with some veggies. Last year as far as I remember we tried zucchini and they were OK. We just moved out some of the pots outside, we planted garlic for green top garlic, which unlike green top onion is not sold at stores. When I figure out how to post pictures, I'll post some. Good Luck! |

Somebody gave me a lovely orchid plant last year. I've taken great care of it and the plant looks healthy and lush---but after the first bloom it never gave orchids again. I'm wondering--do they like a tight pot or a lot of room in the pot?

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 27, 2009 11:34 am) PS I watched a re-potting demo at the Wild Animal Park one year. It does seem that is part of the secret to good blooms. I will try again when I get my fancy greenhouse built. |

Replying to: sky23213 (Mar 27, 2009 12:20 am) Our neighbors in Long Prairie raised cucumbers for commercial pickles. They would end up with too many big ones and we ate more cucumbers than I like to think about. The little ones bring the best price. I could not find any news on flooding. I will have to call back there and check. Our farm is right on the Long Prairie River. We have about 50 acres of low land while the rest is up quite a bit higher. I have not been to visit the place in 25 years. They say it is changed a lot as I planted 3000 blue spruce around the property for Christmas trees then went back to Alaska. They should be pretty good sized by now. Hope you get loads of Tomatoes. They are so good for us men. I eat at least one a day as they are cheap here most of the year.
