Saving all your links.

We are pathetic gardeners with soil that is 30% rocks and the rest mineral without any organic matter, in a fir forest with 100-150 ft trees all over the place. But we manage to grow a bit. All your info is helpful.

At least this year we lived off of cucumbers, romanescu zukes (the only kind worth eating), green beans and kale. And tomatoes, billions of them.

“And tomatoes, billions of them.”

I went way overboard on tomatoes this season; I felt like I spent the entire MONTH of September canning! Oh. Wait a minute. I DID, LOL!

I was making up for lost time; I had a terrible growing season last year - it rained ALL SUMMER LONG, and I was forced to BUY tinned tomatoes and commercial salsa this past winter, which just about killed me! ;)
