    Jiffy pots & I dont' mean the little tabs either...

    SO glad you told the story of the Siamese incedent of 2010... I have a siamese mix and I can tell you it runs in the breed :) She likes to bat the plants like they're her favorite kitty toy. She digs in my mint bed... and scratch herself against the roses lol. And the personality, Penny always...

    Are chickens and bunnies "buddies"?

    I have a friend that kept her one rabbit buck with her chickens... but he decided he was a rooster (ehem) so he found a new home.

    Help me add finishing touches to this garden.

    My brother-in-law build a cute (short) picket fence that I have around my strawberry bed. I think it would have been better being a little shorter (for reaching ease) but the white wash look really adds some "shabby chic" look to my garden that I love. My little fence is maybe 2 feet tall and I...

    Planting strawberries

    I would wait until after the danger of frost. Once they're planted and established they should be fine year to year. I'm in Zone 6 and mulch mine through the winter just to be absolutly sure they'll make it. I ordered mine through the mail last year and they got here too early so I pre-planted...

    Potted Cucumbers

    Everything I've seen is that cucumbers need to be polinated. They have both male and female flowers, if the females doen't get polinated they fall off and no fruit. You could hand polinate and I think you can do that with just a q-tip or something. I've never done that though so I don't know for...

    sowing zinnias and marigolds

    I started mine last year around Mid march. They stayed in a south facing bay window with LOTS of light and good heat... and they took off better than anything I planted from seed last year. :hu don't know how much help I am though, sorry.

    What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

    My luffa has sprouted, first year with them. I tried to start some slips of sweet potatoes, but I think there was too much water and it slimed up and started to rot... so this time I'm going to try with setting them on a soil bed for them to get their moisture that way. Tomorrow I'll start my...

    USDA Sued over approval of GMO Alfalfa

    So I'm a little behind on all this and just learning about GMO. And this is some seriously creepy stuff! I wish that this was gone over in my high school biology, it wasn't and High school was only 9 years ago for me! The more I research, the more it looks like a conspiracy, and the scarier it...

    What's your favorite apple(s) and why?

    My favorite is Gala. I like to eat them as they are, cook them down and can as apple butter, and they also make the best texture (in my opinion) for apple pie :) YUMMY I planted 1 last year and need to get 1 or 2 more apple trees, maybe a different variety, to help polinate.

    Fall Bulbs?

    I planted daffodils, hyacinth, grape hyacinth and Iris this past fall but we have a problem. It's been so mild here we're actually getting RAIN! So my bulbs are coming up! Should I throw more dirt on top of them? Our winters have never been this mild, once November hits it's usually snow till...
