Beautiful garden there! And looks like there is a lot of room for more in there next year... just think of all the options: Carrots, beets, watermellon... and so on. Love the picture of your SLW in the basket too

My favorite veggie ever, and I didn't plant nearly enough this year.

This is my first year gardening... really, so I have a lot of catching up to do. So far: spearamint peppermint lemon balm sweet basil chives dill I hoped to grow lemon grass but I guess Colorado isn't humid enough and gets too cold or something. Only found one nursery that sells it and they...

I know Gurney's and Burgess both sell them through their catalog but I'm not sure when they ship them out. You probably won't be able to get them in until Fall at the earliest or possibly spring. I did get a veggie seed mix from Burgess and they have done great and a great value. They had a...

Best advise is to start on a small scale the first year... I heard this once and didn't take it. I started with a 16x26 this year and regret is HUGE. I planted some things too early and they froze, didn't get the best water set up and had to hand water a lot so most of that died. We got our...

I've been told to drill holes in the stump and pour the round up in the holes. Do this about once a week and it should killl it in a month at the most.

Oh I would LOVE to have horseradish in my garden!!! Odd question but can you take a root from the grocery store and plant it or do you have to get one from a garden center?

Northern Cali!!!! Apples love that area. I can't remember where exactly but there is a place called Apple Hill. When I was youg we use to go there in the fall for their apple festival. SO MUCH FUN and nothing you every by in the store can come close to the fresh "squeezed" apple cider. Memories...

Not worried about kids or dogs... but we live in an agricultural area with neighbors that have cows that like to come visit ours. :rolleyes: We are also planning to use it as a shade/"fruit" tree but if it grows fast then maybe it'll shade fairly quickly and we won't need such a large tree to...

My MIL makes the BEST pickles I've ever had, it was truely a sad day when we ran out and had to buy some. Anyway she says the trick is soaking your pickling cukes in ICE water over night. Keep them in there until the last minute. Using the Ball blue book recipe she adds the spices to the...

I haven't tried it but with the rhubarb... could you use frozen rhubarb? It's cheaper that way.

DH has wonderful memories playing in his great aunt's mulberry tree as a youngin. Now that we own a house he wants one of his very own... small problem, none of the nurseries sell them here! We're in the same county that his great aunt lived in when she had the huge tree so I know they do fine...

a vine veggie. No idea sorry.

I've heard that you can graft roses. I've never grafted anything and wasn't sure how to do this. I was thinking it would be neat to graft my friends rose to my plant and vise versa, kind of like a "friendship rose bush" idea.

BYCer here... just came over. This is my first garden, other than some minor container gardening.

I think these are just beautiful trees. Before I found out what the were I called them broccoli trees since their leaves are as dence as a crown of broccoli. So what do you all know about them? Do they tend to have roots that sit towards the top of the ground or do their roots tend to be very...

I like alfalfa tea. Really good for seasonal allergies. Alfalfa/dandilion and local honey, homey tasting
