    It's in the ground. All organic. Our yard is a registered Monarch Waystation with Monarch Watch, so we have to be really careful that what we use won't kill the Monarchs!

    Yes, I can them, freeze them and have a root cellar for all the root veggies

    When was the last time you hurt yourself while just being stupid?

    Because I think your question was inadvertently skipped, I broke my foot catching butterflies to tag them for Monarch Watch. I was in a boot for 2 months, but still broken until the 4 month all-clear. The butterfly didn't get away. I was being stupid because it was a tough Monarch year. I jumped up to catch the butterfly, it was over a little incline, off of my neighbor's driveway and I had Birks on. I twirled as I caught it and landed on the side of my foot. I think that the bumps on the footbed with the way I landed snapped the bone in half. :open_mouth:

    Do you grow non-GMO? (We do. We buy our seeds from Baker Creek Seeds.)

    Not yet but I REALLY want to start our garden this spring! Non-GMO is vital imo.

    Can you give me any advice on starting a non-GMO garden and keeping it all organic, manageable with my already hectic life and protect it from being eaten by the birds, squirrels and ground hogs?

    Coffee grounds & egg shells are a lot of what I use for food. I also have a compost barrel. (It rotates on a stand.) We have rain barrels. Actually, we have three of them. The natural rainwater helps. Epsom salts I use as food. (Both sprinkling out with the plants about once a month and spraying the pepper and tomato plants every two weeks.) There are also some delightful organic foods out there. Jobe's, I think is the brand I have. As far as critter protection, fencing, Bird-X netting and frankly, sometimes having a feeding area where they know that food IS certain is the way to deter them from eating your stuff. I've also made plant guards with Gatorade bottles and Earthbound Farms lettuce boxes.

    Do you start plants or do you buy starts?

  • I start most things except tomatoes, don't what it is but they never start successfully for me.

    What is your favorite thing to grow?

    Italian green beans. Found a kind that gives me beans for a few good months.

    Are you expecting a snowstorm this weekend? (We are. At least 10".)

    Yes, and a vinegar cake.

    What are you looking forward to right now?

    Probably a smoothie or an egg wrap soon will have to get out of bed and decide.

    Have you ever cooked something and then didn't want to eat because it looked so good you didn't want to wreck it?

    No, but I can understand that if you bake a lot that might happen. I have, however, made something that took me so long (the one time I did a 7 course meal) that by the time I was done, I was too tired to eat it.

    On the topic of food and since it is a component of our meal tonight, cornbread or regular bread with soup? (For the record, ours is cornbread with homemade sausage soup.)

    When I was younger, I got scared at something in a movie my mom took me to, so we left. Don't remember what movie, I was pretty little.

    What was the best part of this past weekend?

    I shoveled the driveway this morning. My back tells me so. I did it as an apology to my husband for getting mad when he hit his car with my truck yesterday. He came to me with a Toyota emblem in hand. :frowning:

    If you work, is today he start of your work week?
