Hello, I haven't been on here for a year, almost but I'm back now. Welcome. I do a cut flower garden but not in a designated area. I put flowers for cutting in the gaps in my flower beds. I kill a lot of stuff so I always have gaps !! :lol:

Coca cola was started in the 1800's and it used to contain cocaine..They took that out once they knew that it was more than just a "pick-me-up. from Copilot: "Coca-Cola originally contained cocaine derived from coca leaves, but the drug was completely removed by 1929, with only cocaine-free...

Bingo !!. :clap :thumbsup I believe You got it, unless mine eyes deceive me. I agree it looks like a nemesia.

They eat baby birds too. I had a coppermouth climb a tree in my yard to get to baby birds. An Oak snake tunnelled into my chicken house and ate 3 baby guineas in one setting. How he really got in is a mystery because we burried chicken wire all along the outside of the coop a foot under ground...

I think it might be Angelonia which is part of the snapdragon family, but not a snapdragon.

Today it was very stormy so, while it was raining I put my new composter together. It's the Miracle grow model, 18 cubic "something" on each side. (I'm not good on measurements) and I am going to put it in an empty spot in my raised bed garden for convenience. I used to use a large garbage can...

Yes !! You place a small bowl in the center of the table and see how many you can get in. :p

The Jetsons !! I was SURE that by the time I was old enough to have money enough to buy me a flying car, we'd have them !! I'm still waiting !!.:old

Actually it isn't but if you don't want to bother, then don't remove it. For any other gardener: Any time you plant a small tree, remove the weeds and grass around it so that the roots do not compete with the plant for nutrients.

If I were you I would get all that grass and weeds away from the trees. The grass roots deprive the trees of nutrients and to fertilize the trees, the grass would use it all up. I removed the grass a foot all around my trees and put a weed barrier edge around mine. They are 4 years old and...

I think, with some flowers, it depends on your growing conditions, how bright, light, or dark the flower comes out. I had a plant I brought with me from S. Florida and there it was a much darker color, even considering the strong sun light, than it became here. Also, the growers are normally...
