No, it's not a weed to me. My mother hates it though. :lol: But heck, I even like the dandelions! They're edible and I like the yellow flowers mixed in with a nice green lawn. I'll double check dangerous plants for chickens, though I don't recall seeing it there before. Thanks Jack :)

Oh, I love the stuff, I couldn't care less if it overtakes the beds. :lol: I plan on taking some to plant around my chicken run once we move. I figure even if they scratch/peck at it, it'll still overrun the joint.

My parents bought a house 10 years ago. Each year, my mother tried to kill this little pretty plant, since it over took the flower beds VERY quickly. She's never successfully gotten rid of it. I think it's pretty, it's an awesome ground cover. I just discovered this year that it in fact has a...

Thanks so much for all the replies guys :D Tutter, I'm in PA... anything that can't survive a snowfall in October won't be making it for harvesting all winter. :lol: Although, dh says he'll build me a greenhouse right next to the house with big florescent lighting if I really want it. Maybe...

I have no idea where I should post this thread, where it would get the sort of traffic I'm hoping for. Hopefully, this will be a decent section... okay, here goes. Firstly, I have no idea what zone I'm in :rolleyes: Sorry. I'm in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We are moving into the new farmhouse...

:lol: thanks guys. I think those flowers are just gorgeous. Our neighbor (little old lady named Jean) has some VERY pretty pink flowers on her (sweet?) peas. They are knock outs.

Ooooh that's an adorable fence too! Congrats on the new garden :D

Oh I love the lilacs :) They're my favorite. Great pix!

I'm waiting for an answer on this too. The new house we're moving to has a massive one out back. I'd like to preserve as many as I can and as soon as I can... so I'll check back here for an answer. Thanks in advance everyone :D

Sorry they didn't make it. It looks exactly like my zuchinni plant though. :/

Well, I'm not sure where you could find it locally. Here, everywhere carries it. Even the Dollar General stores. :lol: Here's the website to the brand we buy all the time. http://www.jerseyporkroll.com/ -- perhaps you can buy it there and have it shipped or something? Good luck, it's soooo worth...

Aren't they pretty? :D

My father mentioned eating dandelions as a kid. I know in Greece, there's a relative of the dandelion plant that they cook in oil and serve like cooked spinach as a side dish for just about every meal. I plan to forage around the new house and see what edibles are there. There's a black walnut...

:frow Hi! I just posted a reply to the rhubarb jam thread. I'm sort of in the same boat with you. :lol: There's a jam recipe on that thread, looks yummy, check it out. ETA -- OMG... I need some sleep, I just realized I repeated myself... :smack

I'm sorry if this sounds reallllllly stupid.... My father hasn't had rhubarb anything in years, his mother used to make it all the time, but she passed away when he was in his early teens. I'd like to make some rhubarb jam or pies for him for (hopefully) Christmas this year. My question is...

I'm in NE PA and it's all over up here. As far as I know, it was a Jersey thing (my mother's side is from NJ and they lived on it). If you travel any further west into PA, past Reading and such, they have no idea what you're talking about. :lol: We like our porkroll on toasted hoagie rolls, with...

I don't know anything 'colorful' per say, but hostas and bishop's weed both grow like crazy in the shade. At least here at my place, they do. They're very nice shades of green and the hostas get flower shoots. Maybe those would work... And I have you personally to thank for making me stop into...
