Will put you on the list. I start the thread on Friday afternoon, and we post during the week on that, then I ping the list for the new thread on the next Friday.

Potatoes and Beans are the most satisfying favorites to me. I have to have a little cornbread or bread and tomatoes and a slice of onion to be completely satisfied.LOL.

The wheat, corn, sunflowers etc. provide important compost material to keep from depleting the soil and to improve the structure of our hard clay soil. We only have an acre where our house is. I like flowers too, but decided to switch to mostly edible flowers and landscaping for future plantings.

I am thinking that I might plant miner’s lettuce around the some of the trees we have to replace the grass. Miner’s lettuce grows well in shade and is cold tolerant and an edible green.

Welcome to the thread.

Thank you. This winter lettuce seems just the thing! I’ll be adding some.
