the pits where right out of the peach and are still drying on the table. i'll get the planted this next week. thanks for the advice!

my inlaws have some peach trees, and we've gotten some of the pits... we've tried to grow trees from them before and it hasn't worked.. is there a trick to it? i have six right now that are drying out at room temp..

i know i'll still have some weeds - but i had heard they weren't as bad on a haye garden..

i've heard this will help keep the weeds down? just looking into doing to doing it next year b/c crabgrass has KILLED me this year.. any thoughts?

i think we're going to do this with cukes and tomatoes next year.

i've read that bamboo is considered a tree - so i thought i'd put this here. has anyone used bamboo as a fence? we want to put something along our tree line b/c the trees are thin and our dogs bark their heads off at everything. we also want to put some around their dog lot for extra shade...

we are finally getting fruits and veggies! our squash plant (well my husband's i don't like squash) died b/c *i think* he didn't weed well enough and it got chocked out. but we found four watermelons today, i got three tomatoes last night and can see some tee tiny baby cantalopes on the vine...

i asked an aunt of mine and she said to spray water on the plant, then put self rising flour on it. when the beatles eat it they expand and explode b/c of the flour. we're doing to do a combo of that and seven dust.

we're trying to grow lettuce so we can feed it to our chickens who LOVE it

our chickens are in the back of the house and this raised bed is in the front. i might try the soap spray when it cools off some later tonight. thanks - they are eating my cannas - little holes everywhere on the leaves :-(

i have beatles eating up my canna lillies! what do you use to get rid of them??
