Hi Lynn - one pot big enugh for three herbs. One that is about 15 inches across at the top would work perfect!
I get those too. I think they're cabbage loopers.
Other than picking them off by hand, I'm had also been spraying the leave with bT.
My latest strategy is to spread out some diatomaceous earth atop the soil and plants. Hoping that will help.
I just went out and bought more frost cloth today as it is usually December we get our first frosts. Last year was so mild though I have been wondering how this year will be!
Sue, great! My swiss chard is just starting out and I can't wait for it as it is one of my favorite veggies! I often wonder whether to leave things longer to see what they will do, your swiss chard being a great example of that!
You know, I don't know exactly what it was but was rather surprised that it grew so big because it didn't bear any resemblance to any of the pumpkins I seeded! We didn't eat it, but saved it to carve for Halloween. It held up pretty well too for t...
My swiss chard is amazing, it was good during the summer, but it has gone crazy since its cooled off. I jumped the gun and pulled out my zucchini plants, sorry I did that now, reading what others are experiencing.
Oops, sorry about your zukes Dana. I am getting many tomatillo's now, they seem to like it cooler because in the summer they grew big, had lots of flowers, but produced no fruit. Feast or famine right? :)

Got to thinking about your question regarding glass top ovens. They can be tricky for canning. I have only canned peaches on ours and in a boiling water bath-not a pressure cooker. It barely kept the water at a rolling boil for the peaches so not ideal for most canning. I don't think a pressure cooker would work on a glass top but I have never tested it. We plan on using an outdoor gas burner for canning in the future. Peaches do not take a lot of time, while whole tomatoes (not sauce) and other things do. Hope that helps, E
I am going to be at the canning class too, hope to see you then!
Glad you enjoyed the class.
I really appreciate your positive feedback!
I add & update my lectures based on questions, comments, and emails received from folks attending.
We're waiting on approval from the Guild Committee for 2 new classes: Understanding Desert Soils, and an introduction to Biodynamics.
Send me an e-mail if you have any questions that I may answer for you. jim.muir@cox.net
Have a wonderful day!
