That is an excellent deal Bill, it is close by you but I know what you mean its alot of gardening space. Its about 30-40 minutes for me depending what part of Plymouth he is in, but it would be alot of gas and time driving there to keep up with it unless you split it with someone. That would be...

I grow them with dowels too but you can't use just any old wood to innoculate with the mycelium. Old wood, stumps that were cut a while ago, cut tree limbs etc. has already been exposed to other types of fungi. You have to use newly cut logs and stumps, usually cut within three weeks or your...

I grow them here and they are annuals. There are some types that can be grown as perennials but I thought they were in zones 9-10. You could probably look up which types may be grown in your zone as a perennial.

I planted them last fall so nothing to report but I see that they are pretty popular on the websites so I took that to be that they probably do well, we'll see. I bought the reliance-red, marquis-white and concord-blue.

That means alot when they truly honor their guarantees, so many places make you jump through hoops to get them to comply with their warranties. I have ordered from Stark and they seem pretty good so far, I have been happy with everything they have sent.

Stark sells dwarf apple trees that are spur trees and they are suppose to give off alot more fruit because they fruit where the spurs are or something like that. Its only a couple of varieties that they offer it in.

How are the semi dwarf trees you have now doing for you?

Its cold here today and it poured here all day yesterday so not much going on here except I did put down grass seed the day before in part of the backyard in anticipation of the rain that was coming. We already raked and pruned everything in the yard and dug all the holes for the trees I have...

I love those pictures, those gardens are so quaint. Some of what I have in mine are here and I think they will work fine with pale pink peonies. Those gardens are usually a jumble of colors anyway. I like alot of purple in various shades in my gardens with a few bursts of other color here and...

:celebrate It was warm enough to break out the shorts today!!

If you have goats they like to play on them, other than that and the potato idea I got nothing.

I have heard that too and that if its planted with strawberries it makes them sweeter, planted with peas it makes them more tender, I don't know if any of its true but I just read it in a plant/veggie companion planting article the other day. I grew some from seed last year and I think every...

Mine too, they eat every darn plant, blade of grass and flower in my yard but won't touch the sunflower heads I give them. They do love the black oil sunflower seeds I buy them (for ridiculous money around here too) but not the ones I grow.

I read that book last year and I just dug it out and started to reread it again because we finished cleaning out our cellar and organzing it for storing vegetables and I wanted to read it again to see if I missed anything. My house was built in the 1700's when all the cellars were essentially...

I planted peas yesterday, Saint Patrick's day is the day around here for that. Mostly just cleaning the yard and waiting for the warmer weather when we can plant around here.

Good ideas! I got tired of the whole thing too. I bought some pretty flat copper hanging tags online for all the trees and vines. You just write with a regular pen on them to engrave them. The pen doesn't show up but it leaves a decent engraving. They came with wire to hang them too. Those were...

You could even just get rid of all the grass and use slates in the pathways, pea gravel or stepping stones with ground cover growing in between, the last one is what I have in my garden.

It looks like its a support system for their enclosure, sort of like greenhouse framing. Of course I could be wrong but I was wondering too and it seemed like that it was some sort of enclosure, perhaps for the wedding, protection from the elements and framing for an elaborite tent.

Funny, but I feel the same way this year too. Lets hope the weather cooperates.

I am doing it this year in the sides of the house, the front yard is just going to be a strip of lawn now and the sides will be gardens. I already did the right side last year, I planted alot of perrenial herbs, they look beautiful and are useful as well and I plan to squeeze some pretty...
