I saw you on BYC a while ago, and it's even funnier now! What a great scenic pic of an Eggplant! :lau

What a nice lady and great assortment of seeds! :rainbow-sun Lantana is pretty much perennial here, and it sprouts from old growth, so don't do a hard prune in the fall/winter. Datura gets really big, too. And it poisonous as all get out, pretty much the same thing as Jimson Weed. Deadly to...

I love them! When I was little, I was told that moss was where the fairies danced at night. I still avoid stepping on moss! :happy_flower

I have had 2 whole gardens destroyed by chickens. Never again will I let a chicken in the garden! They moved through like overgrown locusts! :barnie

Hi Jewels19, :welcome from South Carolina!

And to think, I moved here after more than 20 years in Austin! :lau Jewels19, good point- it is only getting a couple hours of light right now, our house is heavily shaded. Thanks!

We are trying sweet potatoes this year, too. So far, just vines. :/ I need to look them up, haven't a clue how to grow them!

All the more reason to get chickens! ;)

Both of the stump removal ideas are great! Since DH is doing the garden, I asked him about what he wishes he'd done differently- he said have the soil tested by the Ag folks at the Clemson Extension Office.

Hmmmm..... I wonder how an incubator would work as a mini hothouse/greenhouse......

I didn't know that! I wonder if it's the calcium? The bad news is I just remembered a bag of frozen, half rotten shrimp in the freezer- they were supposed to go in the garden this year, and I forgot. :he

Same type of thing here- I injured my hip last winter and still can't get around very well. So DH does the garden and I do the chickens! I would love to have more input in the garden, but he does a very good job so I stay quiet! I did the garden last year, and it's nowhere near as good as his...

Does it have to be food grade? I bought a LOT from a garden center last year- and it has turned out to be pool grade! Grrr.... I know I can't use it on chickens, but will it hurt in the garden? Will it kill the good bugs and bees too?

Wow, happening pretty fast really! And looking very nice! I like the shingling on the front. The new posts do give more of a cottage air to it. Those old columns would be great for an arbor out back- a pergola type structure for shade? Over a patio? I know, why am I making MORE work for...

Our "leftover" potatoes are doing great, too. All scattered about! The seed potatoes molded, so DH ended up planting all the sprouted ones I had- which was an embarrassingly large quantity! Need to find a cooler place to store them, our kitchen is always hot. He's added wheat straw twice so...

Way back in the seventies I had one in a pot that got about 4' tall before I gave it away. When I think it's probably just starting to produce real well..... :he I've 3 more going, one has cracked in two, like this one, and one has cracked into three segments! I don't know if it's going to...

Whoa, it's too early for that! Yikes! If it is a kaffir lime, then it's not for eating anyway. The leaves only are used, often in Thai cooking. :ep

You sure did! Looks very Mediterranean from here. Now you're a food stylist, too!

If I am not mistaken, it's illegal or immoral to post food pics like that and not inclede the recipes! I would LOVE to hear more about the pasta and tuna with the delicious peas! (sorry, Zoe, peas are like candy though!)

And as should be, a cat to supervise! And choose the fish :rolleyes: ! The garden is gorgeous, what a fabulous job you've done! :rainbow-sun
