Cool!

One of the cleverest signs I ever saw was posted in front of a raspberry patch: Do Not Eat (Skull and crossbones) Recently Sprayed. That sign has been up all summer :)

The chickens are giving us lots of compost material as well as eggs, and I'm running out of room in the bin. I'm wondering, can I spread unfinished compost over the bare garden space and cover it for the winter, or does it really need to be finished first? Thanks!

Potatoes are so much fun :) Best crop I ever got I didn't even plant - didn't even know what it was till I pulled it up in the fall! After that I was hooked. Good job!

wsmoak, I never bother with buying seed potatoes, I buy a variety from our local co-op and let them go to seed over the winter. They're sure fun to grow - good job!

I ran the picket fence past him and he thought it was a good idea. Maybe this season, certainly next. :)

That's great - have fun!

How fun! I love looking at gardening stuff with my morning coffee - it spurs me on to go out and garden :)

Horseradish spreads like nobody's business - it's awfully good, fortunately :)

Y'all are a fine cross section of the country :) Probably a little warmer than we are today - I'm thinking about starting a fire in the woodstove! Thanks for the warm welcome :)

A good question would be, who isn't from BYC? :)
