Does anyone grow their own pumpkins? I'm trying for the first time this year. Have a little patch over at my aunt's farm, about 7 or 8 rows. I may have planted them a little late... some are growing a lot better than the others though. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on fertilizers or...

I was given some okra this weekend ("some" meaning way, way, way too much). I asked a few friends and family what to do with it, what they do with it, and the answer was the same--they just add it to soups and chilis. Since it's still really hot summer and I won't be making soup or chili for a...

I'm not sure how many fellow vegetarians are here... I've seen a lot of posts for cooking meat in crockpots but few vegetarian meals. (Most vegetarian-friendly posts seem to be appetizers, dips, or soup.) I wanted a nice, vegetarian main dish to try in the crockpot. I found this "Chinese BBQ...

Hi! Has anyone tried growing eggplant in their garden? I bought a small plant, thinking it would be fairly simple. My other veggies are all doing great but I'm not sure the eggplant will make it. The leaves are turning yellow and starting to shrivel. Anyone experienced with growing eggplants...

hello everyone! I'm new to the site, and fairly new to crock pot cooking. I was gifted a crock pot a few months ago as a housewarming present. I'm still learning and look forward to sharing the experiences with you! :)
