Down and out needing to garden for my grief

[flowerbug]

... Also you mention seed libraries ? Do you mean like browse through a catalog and order ahead of the season? I have an online acct with Boston Public Library; do you mean check out those resources?

some libraries will have a garden seed collection that people work with and maintain. free for people to use. if you are into gardening you can talk to your local library and ask them if they would let you start one. the idea is similar to a book reading library, but instead of checking out books you get some seeds of whatever you would like to try to grow and in return you can bring seeds back after they grow or you can bring in things they don't have to share or ...

you can use lime in gardens if the pH is too low to bring the pH up, but you may not really need it. corn not growing can be for more than a single reason so i would not jump to that conclusion from a single attempt.

@Jae I agree with the many experienced gardeners on this forum. It would be good to add your state and growing zone. What are some of your favorite plants , how big is your garden and what can we do to help you garden wise at this time.

Have you grown amaryllis ? Big box stores have many differnt varieties and brings colorful blooms inside during the cold winters. Also paper whites, and hyacinth are wonderful inside bulbs easy to grow to bring blooms inside.

Sending healing blessings your way.

Here ya go: Just click on your profile picture at top right of The Easy Garden page

- then click on 'account details' in box that opens

- scroll down this page to "location" and add your details. (You can be as specific or as vague as you want, just a state, or just a growing zone would be helpful.)

(Ignore the over-complicated instructions I first posted with my apologies. This is a simpler path.)

A double fence will keep deer out. Keep the alley wide enough to mow. Deer can’t navigate the double fence and will stay out.

Glad you joined, no matter our background, no matter where we live or where we are in life, we are GARDENERS! I moved 2 years ago and haven’t cleared a spot for an in ground garden yet, and container gardening has been a bust. Sigh…. Oh well.

A little eye candy from this past spring. Triplets!

Oh my goodness, they're beautiful. To be honest, we live in such a rocky area that a lot of the times I plant in buckets and grow bags and I plant in the ground too. That's really interesting. How deer can't handle two fences. We have a place in New Hampshire and we are on a lake and we see bears before winter sets in we catch them on our video cameras you know placed on your house and you just see them strolling through the back of the house strolling through the driveway. It's really cool and they only come at like 2 AM in the morning or 1 AM.
We see Fox, no rabbits, possums, and a beaver we've seen and some more animals I just can't remember right now. I love to seeing the fox it was white and I didn't know that foxes change their color cause it definitely looked like a fox.
