I had an egg that exploded a few weeks ago while I was getting rid of all the eggs once incubation was finished. I always bury all the eggs that didn't hatch in the garden and use my shovel to smash it, that one egg sounded like a rocket. And boy that odor, I had to bury it quick. I bet all...

Thanks for all the replies, I will try those places. I appreciate it! ;)

Thanks lesa & desertlady for your replies! I'll try those stores, I'm actually getting them for my property in NC. I know for sure they have a Walmart there. Maybe I should call the store to save a trip in case they don't have them. Thanks Again! :D

baymule, If it makes you feel better, I still have cucumber seedlings. I had to re-plant seeds twice because of slugs that ate away the plant. I wonder if you could re-plant, if anything you'll have a late summer crop. As long as you can solve what the problem was, you can prevent it from...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of other stores besides Home Depot and Lowes when shopping for solar lights for the garden? I really want to get the Bronze colored solar lights, its suppose to be more traditional or old-fashioned looking compared to the silver or black. And...

I prefer fruits too, I've always dreamed of my own orchard. Here's some Raspberries from the garden. Nothing like that sweetness taste.

I've cooked collard greens with bacon when I don't have ham hocks. I'm sure you could cook them without it and use onions like vfem mentioned and still taste great but missing that smoked flavor. Hope this helps!

I harvest mine when the leaves are large enough about 12 inches. I have swiss chard that came back up from last year, had to harvest those before they went to seed. I even have volunteers that are sprouting everwhere. I like to sauteed it simply with olive oil and garlic. Hope this helps!

Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone who has planted fruit trees during the summertime had any success? I may be visiting my home in NC during the summer and I was thinking of planting bare root trees in pots, here in my home in NY, then just take the leafed out trees when I travel down south. I...

That sounds great Hotpepperqueen, !! ;) See it really does pay off later on by planning ahead. I'm thinking of doing the same with all the extra plants I started from seed. It sure is great to make some money from extra plants.

rebbetzin, Is that lettuce a Batavia variety? I know that Batavia Lettuces are quite heat resistant and are bitter and bolt free.

Here are some tulips in my garden down south in North Carolina. Please excuse the clay stain on the bricks :D, I'll have to clean that off next time I visit.

I definitely like to plant more seeds that I need to sprout in case some don't germinate. Its better to start out with extras then have to replant seeds and waste time.

Thanks guys! ;) Steve is right those are apple blossoms from a few weeks ago. I think now I'll need to plant some flowers for summer once all the spring flower's leaves die back.

Hi, Just wanted to show everyone these pictures of the flower show in my garden. Enjoy!! I really don't remember planting these orange colored Tulips. But I sure am glad I did they are amazing! ;)

Very Nice Vfem!! ;) Your potatoes look really good as does the tee pee. Nice tour keep us posted as they grow.

RustyDHart, That is a beautiful bantam hen you have their :thumbsup . I think bantams are known as the flowers in the chicken world because of their pretty feathers.

I agree with you curlykate, Grocery store strawberries can't compete with fresh from the garden strawberries. What a difference in sweetness and flavor with the garden fresh. I would rather wait for a harvest of strawberries out in the garden then try buying some at the store.

Those are some nice strawberries retiredwith4acres! :drool They look tasty I love to eat them fresh like that from the plant. I would just keeping picking and eating them until my belly is full :gig . I really prefer just eating them this way. A lot of people seem to want to add sugar to them...

Thanks Ridgerunner ;) , I didn't find any growth or roots near the grated bud union. I'll be sure to remove any growth if it appears in that area. The tree is growing really well I was amazed at how much growth its put on so far and the growing season has just started.
