Very well done R. :)

Michigansnowpony, I can see you did a great job on this and we all appreciate it. 5*****

The smallest bit of information can be so valuable when it comes time for it to be in need.

[Michigansnowpony]

That's just it. . . We've (myself included!) gotten so used to turning on the computer and just looking anything up when we need or want to. I still love my books as I didn't grow up with computers, but I just get nervous that people will be floundering for information if they can't turn that cyber library on. Everyone should have a low-tech back-up for useful infomation. Oh, I'm preachin to the choir, aren't I?. ; )

My one and only orchard/fruit book is 'Fruits and Berries for the Home Gardener' by Lewis Hill. Everything you need to know is in it, and he writes in a nice down-to-earth way, easy to understand.

How nice to meet another Gene L. fan. My favorite orcharding book is Michael Phillips' book THE APPLE GROWER. Well worth the cost. Thanks for your video.

No doubt! it's not agriCULTURE anymore..

it's agriBUSINESS. empty 'foods'....

contaminated, GMO'ed, hybrid, ...it's getting

harder and harder to grow, harvest, preserve, and save seeds. Sooo much to learn, so little time.  Thanks!

Hi hunt1803,

Thank you for the advice. Just have to try again this year. At lest I know which type of Toms does best for me.

Excellent video. You might consider going to google books, and doing a search for gardening, there are excellent books from the 1800's on growing food. People from the 1800's grew a good portion of the food themselves. Goto google, search google books, then left side public domain only then search. Wonderful free stuff pdfs!
