growing cotton
I'm going to be growing cotton this year. I've never grown cotton before, I've never seen a cotton plant.
Once I've grown the cotton, my mom has a friend who has a friend who spins cotton on a spinning wheel, and she is going to show me how to spin the cotton! I'll post updates to this project.

Re: growing cotton
Josh,
I really am going to be following this one! I've talked about growing cotton, myself, and my DH just laughs! I think it would be awesome to learn how to spin it and use it as yarn! I'm a "crafty" type person, so this type of thing just really gets my mind going with the possabilities!

Re: growing cotton
The cotton is up and doing good so far.
looks like I'm going to have enough to fill a 4 x 8 raised bed garden.

Re: growing cotton
That is so awesome!
My decision to do cotton next year will be, in large part, based on how yours does in SFG.

Re: growing cotton
I should be getting the cotton garden done this weekend, and I thing I'm going to go ahead and plant the little plants. Since we had a mild winter and it's warm early, maybe they will have enough time to make cotton.
Re: growing cotton
Here is a picture of the cotton once it was fully grown
It produced a lot of cotton for just 24 plants.
My mom taught me how to spin the cotton
And she crocheted me a table mat from the cotton, I also made my own drop spindle.
I still have a lot of cotton left, and I'm going to weave something, I'll keep everyone posted on how I do.
This year you might want to plan on growing some cotton in your garden.
