I like that idea. What I have been doing is planting 4 or 5 seeds in a circle and then move a few feet over. I never made the hill. Do you water your seeds in or just wait for nature to do it.
One of my apple trees (Rubinette) is leafing out 2"-3" above the graft union and after 6 weeks has failed to leaf out any higher. I scraped the top half and it's still green underneath. Should I prune the top part off or leave it be. I included a picture so all of you experts can see what I am...
I am replanting my watermelon & cantaloupe and I thought I would ask everyone how do you plant yours? Hills, rows etc. I am always looking to improve my gardening techniques and love to hear from you all. I might learn something new.

Here is a picture of a mini rose sport that I found growing on a pink climbing mini rose. I took a cutting of the sport and now I have a whole new rose plant. Never did name it.
Lavender is native to Mediterranean and they are much better off without fertilizer and heavy watering. The soil were they are native to is rocky with poor nutrient base. They area is also considered an arid land. So I would not keep the roots wet and it's best to let it dry out before watering...
I have about 8 different kinds of moss and I used to sell the extra on "theplanted tank" website or I take the extra at trim time and go to the local fish store and trade it for store credit. It's a win win situation for both of us.
