    rolly pollies

    As long as they won't hurt it I don't care that they are there - but it's a mystery to me how they ended up there - and so many of them so fast. :idunno

    rolly pollies

    I just relocated an azalea in my yard, and the rolly pollies have gone mad around it. I did not see one when I was digging the hole for it, but now the rolly pollies are everywhere... baby, teenager and elderly rolly pollies. Will they hurt the azalea? If they might, how do I get rid of them...

    My garden is...

    half way dead. :( The only survivors are a couple of watermelons, mush melons, tomatoes, okra and carrots. The cucumbers, green beans, broccolli, zucchini, butternut squash, bell peppers, corn, and herbs (even mint) are dead or dying. I will have a soil analysis done to see what I need to...

    What have you learned from this years garden?

    I have learned that I have lots to learn. But I am having lots of fun in the process. I need to have a soil analysis done.

    A Zucchini !!!!!

    You make me laugh. :gig I'm glad you share your blunders with us all. I know you make me feel better!!! I was nurturing a weed, it looked like it might have grown up to be a sorrano pepper plant - nope, it was just a weed. I fussed over that thing - oh well. At least your mistake is...

    I made a mess of composting

    I've been adding more "brown" now. It seems to be doing ok - I will not turn it for a while so that it can heat up and kill whatever nasties may be there. Hopefull the chicken poo will help get it nice and hot. And if I have lots of "green" I will be sure to add more "brown" to prevent such...

    I made a mess of composting

    My conditions were a bit too wet, but no animal carcasses or meat to my knowledge - so I'm still at a loss as to what they were feeding on???? Maybe something was put in there by hubby??? I wouldn't think he would "go against orders" but stranger things have happened. That's another reason...

    I made a mess of composting

    I was worried about botulism (I've read horror stories), so I just dumped in out, some of them squiggled around and died, and some buried themselves back in - I guess once they mature they will fly off and do their thing. I just hopw there are no more when it's time to turn it... I guess we'll see.
