    what are the actual pickles used for the store brand?

    Kirby, was a specific cultivar of cucumber. Now it is a catch all for any small cucumber suitable for pickling. This is my one of my go to recipes Definitely build some kind of trellis for them.

    How to start an organic garden from scratch?

    I'd recommend Vegetable Growing for Health and Flavor by Louis Flawn. It has everything from soil explanations to trench diagrams to crop rotations to lifecycle photos of different crops. I'm considering scanning it into PDF form because it's an uncommon book from the 70s.

    Top 5 Medicinal Plants

    I always suggest having access to a willow tree. Willow bark contains natural aspirin, make a tea from it to get this benefit. If you take a cutting off another plant and want to encourage its root growth but do not have the chemicals to do so, place the cutting in a glass of water along with a...
