Thanks guys. I decided to get rid of them since they are huge and from all reports will get bigger. I don't need my garden taken over by them. I didn't realize how many there were until I started pulling them out! :ep I piled them up outside the chicken run so the girls don't get them.

Watch out! All the neighbour ladies will be wanting to run their fingers through your beard! ;)

Bread and butter pickles, Greek salad :drool , relish or feed them to your chickens (if you have some)

I get outdated produce from the store to feed my chickens. The leafy stuff they eat as is, the rest I put through my chipper/shedder for them. ( Link to my blog for more info if interested - http://mountaingardengleanings.blogspot.com/2010/10/feeding-chickens-produce.html ) In the winter, I...

I have canned on a flat surface stove since I have been here since it came with the house. I didn't know you could have problems with it so used it and it was fine. Now I'm hoping that I haven't jinxed myself knowing things can go wrong. (I feel ignorance is bliss because once I find out...

OOOh! That would be great in the dead of winter. :love Thanks for sharing the pics! :thumbsup

Very pretty. Love the pie idea for next year! Can't wait to see more pics as the plants grow and thrive! :thumbsup

Lovely flowers! :thumbsup You can never post too many pics! :clap One note, however, that you may not have thought of - type in the kind of flower under or over the pic so we know what they are. I'm not very good at recognizing alot of flowers and it helps to have a name with the pic. Just...

Great job! Very cute!

They are so cute and tiny! :love :love

I didn't put down any barriers because it used to be part of the garden. We just scooped the dirt out and put in the boards then put the soil into the boxes and then spread sand around them.

No they were rough cut slabs from the sawmill nearby. They still have bark, etc on the outside and were very cheap. My DH and DS chose the best and straightest ones and sawed them to make the boxes 4'x4' with the individual squares being 2'x2'.

We went down to the river and got pails of sand. The Fraser River gets high and fast in the spring. When the water goes down there are huge areas of neat rocks and this sand that has alot of black and gray colours. I liked how it looked so we hauled a bunch home in 5 gallon pails. Alot of...

I just cut the mint back and dry the leaves. I use my dehydrator. I did this three times last year so had enough to give away when people tried it and liked it. The mint just regrows again and again.

This is my herb gardens third season. I love the different scents, shapes and colours all in one place. It always makes me smile. I featured it in my blog today with more pics and descriptions of what is growing. http://mountaingardengleanings.blogspot.com/2011/06/herb-garden-update.html

Lovely!

Lucky you! We had alot of peaches last year but this year it was cold at the wrong time and only two trees that were more sheltered have any at all. Last year we ate alot of smoothies. Yum! I also canned peaches and made jam but both of those involve sugar. I think my MIL used to freeze...

Looks yummy. I love rhubarb cake and squares. :drool

:welcome Welcome from BC, Canada. Enjoy your garden and the forum. :frow

We bought ours 3 years ago and I think they were between $100 and $200 depending on the size. That may seem like alot to pay but they have paid for themselves in cherries going on three seasons and the bag are still in great shape. In fact, the first season we sold almost $600 dollars worth of...
