I found this: Here they sell straw bales for 7-10 bucks a bale at Wal-mart around Halloween/ Fall time. I know I can probably get them cheaper than that from a farmer. One of the places listed on my link says that their straw bales are $4.50!! :ep

aaaaaahhh I see! That would explain the milky secretion that came out of the stalk when I chopped it down. Pokeberries and chokeberries are different right? ETA: thanks for the info!!! =D

I ripped it out of the ground last summer just to be on the safe side, and forgot to take a picture of it before I took it out. Hopefully someone out there knows what kind of plant this is, and if the berries are poisonous. I had never seen it before until we moved out here to the country. It...

Thank you!! YAY!! My roses will thrive this summer!!! I'll take pics and post some when they bloom. oh no!! :lol: :lol: My dad used to mow plants over to until he finally decided to put huge awful markers around them to keep him from doing it.

I read up on the straw bale gardening, and learned several things: First the writer recommended to specifically use straw and not hay, because of the high seed content in hay. 2nd he said that you have to do a lot of watering because the straw bales don't hold water as well as soil. Which...

oh wow! That is an awesome idea!! Does anyone know if the hay bale method is more or less expensive than buying the potting soil needed fot fill the wooden raised beds, and buying/scrounging the wood to build raised beds? It would seem like the hay bale method would be cheaper, but I haven't...

Ours don't bloom year round. I think they usually go dormant at the beginning to mid Fall unless it is an unusually warm one. We had an early frost this year so they went dormant earlier than they sometimes do. Our seasons are a play it by ear kind of thing here. If you want to have plants out...

We've had several 48 to 72 hour stretches of single digit and low double digit temps a couple of weeks before Christmas, but other than that it has been a mild winter with temps in the 40's 50's 60's and even a few 70's (!) Today it is supposed to be 65 and tomorrow 63, and the rest of the week...

Awesome!! Thank you!!! :clap

oh wow see I had no idea there was such a thing! :th

I think I'm going to be a terrible gardener. I kept looking intently at my rosebushes when my mother told me to prune them...every time she came over this late summer and early fall, and never did it. It would have been easy I'm sure but the thought of cutting my rosebush nearly down to the...

I looked and didn't see one. If there is one can someone direct me to it? If not is it possible to make one? There are so many terms on here that I don't know, since I am new to gardening. I think it would be easier to have a quick reference with definitions of at least the basic gardening...

We have seen only a few lighting bugs this summer also :(

I have a friend that has raised beds and she said that 12" deep soil is ideal. (she was giving me advice on how to build raised beds) Good luck. :)

Apparently there are different species of cannabis...I didn't know that. I have been looking up pics of different hybrids of plants. (And mostly got "ordering" websites :rolleyes: )but did find some pics that are devoted to plant identification. It could still be a form of it. Have you smelled...

:lau :lau That is what I was going to say it looks like, but the leaves aren't completely the same.

Yes! I think you're right! I think it is some species of sumac. It doesn't seem to be poison sumac, but one of these: Rhus glabra L. Or: Rhus copallinum L. Thank you so much for giving me something to go on! I had no idea. I didn't know that there was non-poisonous sumac.

I am not really sure what kind of shrub/tree this is, but they are all over our property. Anyone have any ideas? It doesn't seem to get much taller than 6 ft tall, but most of them are shorter than that. I am unsure if they can get taller, I just know that is about how big they are on our property.

Meeee! Hi Ticks! :frow

Thank you =D
