Adding Lime to the Garden and Lawn is Key for Successful Gardening Every summer I have people ask me how I am able to grow such a great garden. The soil is the key and adding a garden lime to the soil is essential. We get a lot of rain during the year here in Lexington.

In order to help keep soil in the six to seven … (6 comments)

Fedco Seed and Beck's Big Buck Okra - Don't Miss Either One Beck's Big Buck Okra is worth the try. Occasionally I have discovered a new seed that just needs to be introduced to the whole world! Last winter as I was devouring the seed catalogues "Big Buck" really sounded great. I found it in Fedco Seed Catalogue. Fedco is my favorite seed supplier for three reasons.
