The first picture is really hard to tell. I think a pic from the side and of an individual leaf might help a lot. The second picture is Campanula americana .

It's Hibiscus trionum , or Flower-Of-An-Hour. IMHO a pretty but pesky weed.

Oh silkiechicken I'm sorry. I'm in Oregon and my garden is looking pretty pathetic this year. I bet you'll find a way to have a garden while you're in school though. (or after a year like this one you may want an extended vacation from it.) Community gardens may be great for you. The ones...

My DH used tree trimmings to build a raspberry trellis. It's very Blair Witch Project.

Pat- if you liked In Defense of Food, you should definitely try some of Michael Pollan's other books. I thought IDOF was his worst. My absolute fave is The Botany of Desire. Although some would consider The Omnivore's Dilemma to be his magnum opus.

OHHHH I've bee waiting for someone else to say this!!!! I think the thing that gets to me is that, how do I say it, it's a little preachy especially if you may not have Ms. Kingsolver's resources. If I only had the dough to buy enough land to raise all my own food, and then get paid to write...

OOps busted!

Me three. Wonder who's not from BYC

My best guess is Georgia Hackberry, Celtis georgiana

They may not have gotten pollenated. That's my first guess. Squash have male and female flowers and you have to have both blooming at the same time to get squash. The female flowers have a little squash behind them and the male flowers are full of pollen. If you don't have alot of...

All my squashy things look really bad too (in Oregon.) It's just been really cool. On the bright side my lettuce and beets look fantastic.

Ooooh. Those both look great. Plus the first one uses lots of eggs :P Thanks!!!!

Very nice. Love the cats. I'm just a little bit jealous of the tomatoes. It's been so cool here this summer, I'm not sure we'll get any at all.

Yes PLEASE more garlic scape recipes! I'm not that fond of them on their own, but that pesto sounds pretty good, I might try it tonight.

Hi Xival, I too would LOVE an avacado tree, but It's not meant to be here :( If I had an acre (lucky!!!) available to me I would plant peaches, apricots, maybe an apple or two. I think you might want to check the Sunset Western Gardening book for some of the particulars. Different...

If it has started to flower it will be too bitter to eat.

:clap So awesome!!!!

:yuckyuck :lau

It had occurred to me, your fellow allergy sufferer, to do the same thing. But theres nothing I hate worse than wet toilet paper-y stuff and I couldn't imagine being faced with that every time I turned my compost.

That looks pretty nice. We had to buy some too, DH built two new raised beds and were a little short on compost. I'm not sure how much it cost, we had it delivered and I didn't ask what the delivery charge was. Plus I'm so dog-tired from moving the stuff I can't think clearly. I love/hate...
