    Suggestions on mowers/tractors

    Our old IH lawn tractor is slowly dying. We have to keep replacing belts and such stuff, and it hardly works anymore. We need a garden tractor/mower that is good on a big yard, PLUS can handle mowing a 3 acre field. We have had a Sears 18HP, but it died years ago. Then we got this IH as a used...

    Little confusion

    Hey there--- I used to work in a garden shop, and they always said to plant after May 15 to be safe. You can start stuff in the house earlier, and plant "cold crops" outside earlier too. I've kinda lost track, but maybe this will help. :welcome

    Sharing my 'Backyard Habitat' sign

    Way to go, Robin! ;) One more thingy we have in common! My sign is in the barn with chicken poop on it. I need to get it out & posted again. We had it out front but the fence decayed so we took it down. Another thing on my "to do" list...........:rolleyes:

    Preserving fresh flowers

    We received MANY wonderful flower arrangements during my Mother's recent passing. I would love to try to preserve what I can of the fresh flowers: lilies, gladolias, roses, carnations, statice, and foliage in general. Is there a way? :rainbow-sun

    Rain gardens, anyone?

    I just attended a workshop on Rain Gardens. It helps with runoff at parking lots and can be used in the home landscape. It was a very informative day! :watering Here is the booklet we received: www.dnr.state.wi.us/ORG/WATER/WM/dsfm/shore/documents/rgmanual.pdf
