| Hardy Kiwi 'Michigan State'
|
|
I just discovered that there are kiwi vines that are now available for zone 3-9, so they are very hardy! I did find that they need a male kiwi plant to be with up to 8 other female kiwis.

 Here are my peaches this year. I haven't had any peaches on this tree for the last few years, it almost died and has been making a slow comeback. This year, the tree was loaded!

| Fall Is Apple Season
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
 When I think of fall, my mind goes to new pencils and pumpkins and, of course, apples. If you are lucky enough to have an orchard near you, this is the time of year to go and get yourself a bushel of apples.

| Saving Vegetable Seeds for Next Season
|
|
I planted for first time in 20 years on soil that's located on top an artesian well. I had zucchini's the size of couches. How do I dry zucchini seeds? Would be interested in swapping some green beans (bumper crop there, also) for sweet corn or other. Name your offerings.

| Brown Spots on Ripening Tomatoes
|
 I can't figure out why my tomatoes are turning black. I already watered them with Epsom salt a month ago. Can anybody help. I don't think it is bottom rot.

| Tips For Growing Eggplants
|
|
By Ellen Brown
|
 Eggplants like to be pampered. These divas of the vegetable garden have a very low tolerance for stress, so unless your garden is in the perfect zone, growing them successfully is going to require a little bit more of your time and attention than usual.

| Cover Garden At Night To Protect Against Early Frost
|
|
When it's time for frost to hit and we still have veggies that are still producing, we drape sheets or blankets over the veggies before dark. Then when we get up in the morning before the sun is fully out, we take the sheets or blankets off.
