Thank you Digits, I like that thread, to bad there wasn't a follow up on it, they built a pretty system. Mary that is one thing I am worried about and your right, like you, I have plenty of things in containers, I probably shouldn't ad anything as permanent as strawberries. It might be a good...

Thanks everybody. The pillbugs I have love greens and fruit. I forget which one I have, there are different kinds and I happen to have the one that thrives on green foods. These guys destroy seedlings. I'll have to try to take pics of them later when they come out. My biggest problem has been...

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Taking care of critters in bitter cold wore me out! I'm in zone 7 in the upper right hand corner of Georgia. It got 7 degrees here but all our critters are fine. We have a mini farm with chickens, ducks, goats and rabbits. I tunnel garden during the winter...

Wow its cold! Can't wait for spring so of course I already have seedlings in flats which normally is fine. I throw a blanket over things at night and usually they don't freeze but they did last night with temps in the single digits but amazingly all looked great this evening when I put them to...

I know borage is a hardy annual but I don't know how hardy. How cold is too cold. Borage does not transplant well at all. What I would do if it gets real cold, you can is put a plastic tote over it at night and throw a blanket over it. Mine are doing great in the coldframe but they have always...

Congratulations!! :)

LOL its been years since I did any arts and crafts things, that sounds like fun! Thanks Nyboy! :)

I was reading about preparing horseradish the other day and one article said that the longer you wait to add the vinegar, the hotter your horse radish will be. No wonder hubs always says my HR is mild, he blends the HR and the vinegar in the blender together, according to the article, its better...

Oh they are just gorgeous! I love daylilies too! I'm always sad when I see the last daylily season blooms fade away. I need more daylilies! :)

I know what you mean Steve. At the risk of making everyone cringe, I've been using Styrofoam cups for my young plants. They work great but bad for the environment. :( I reuse them and any pot I get and the quart size yogurt and cottage cheese containers are wonderful but it would be nice to...

That is very scary. I been within a mile of 3 different tornados and one of those I was sitting stuck in traffic on a bridge over the freeway. I had no idea bridges had that much movement! My heart goes out to all those affected by the storms. :(

Thanks Steve, unfortunately we live in an economically depressed area so all that is here is Walmart and Home Depot and one little nursery. I shutter to think how many pots Walmart and HD throw away so I'm going to stop by and see if they will let me have some. Those big places often have...

I found a place called "Plasticflowerpots.net". Great prices, you can buy smaller lots like lots of 10, 25, 50 or 100 or more. Says pots are made in USA. Shipping isn't bad at all for me, they're in Florida and I'm in Georgia. Anybody else heard of or use this company? I like the site but would...
