Planting raspberries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can black raspberries and red raspberries be planted close and not cross? I want to plant Black berries and black and red raspberries in my north pasture this spring but want to have all three berries stay what I planted.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nancy Foster<\/em>

Yes, these berries can definitely be planted closely and will not cross. Crosses between brambles is usually from seed-grown plants that have been manually pollinated on purpose. You’re good to go! — Jackie<\/p>\n

Corn seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n

In your column of the Nov\/Dec 2011 (#132) issue you mention that you grow True Gold open pollinated yellow corn. Where do you purchase your seeds? Have looked in all my seed catalogs and can’t find this corn.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brad Barrie<\/em>
\nStrong, Maine<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve grown and saved seeds from True Gold sweet corn since we lived in New Mexico. You can still find it in Seeds of Change’s catalog (www.seedsofchange.com). Good growing! — Jackie<\/p>\n

Potato soup recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have a good potato soup recipe? <\/em><\/p>\n

Vickie Shelby<\/em>
\nLogan, Ohio<\/em><\/p>\n

Sure do, Vickie. (It’s found on page 60 of Jackie Clay’s Pantry Cookbook<\/a>.) Here it is:<\/p>\n

6 Tbsp. butter or margarine
\n1 onion, chopped
\n6 Tbsp. flour
\n1\u00bd cups milk
\n1 tsp. salt
\n\u00bd tsp. pepper
\n4 cups cooked, diced potatoes
\n1 cup cooked, diced carrots
\n1 cup cooked, sliced or diced celery
\nGrated cheese (optional)<\/p>\n

In a large saucepan, saute onions in butter, then add flour, stirring well. Slowly add milk, salt, and pepper to make a medium sauce. Gently stir in vegetables. Add more milk, if needed, to make the soup the desired consistency. You may also add grated cheese.<\/p>\n

This is our favorite, hearty potato soup and goes great with a slice or two of warm homemade bread! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
