I am trying the straw method this year. I planted some in the ground too just to make sure I will have some at harvesting time. Has anyone else done the straw method?

My boys 5 and 7 have thier own spots in the garden and I encourage them to handle the plants gently and how to weed around them. They do end up pulling a few of the seedlings but it is no big deal because I have plenty planted in the main garden. Mine love to garden and understand it is...

:hugs sorry for your loss.....my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. :love

obessed I live about 45 min from you and my asparagus is thriving and I bought it from wal-mart! Maybe you should give it a try. :watering

Yes I am trying!! lol Just another addicting site for me!! I have to divide my time I have so many!! Thanks for the invite!! Good luck!! :ya

obsessed I bought some Wal-mart brand potting soil and then my mom bought some miracle grow potting soil. I have been using them both. I hope to make a compost pile this year and be able to use that next time. I don't see why your seeds wouldn't work. A member on BYC does all hers in milk jugs...

Nice! :thumbsup

Congrats on the job!! Maybe you can lease to own the house instead of renting it. My best friend did that with her house and the people took care of it because they knew it would be thier's one day. She tried renting but after hundreds of dollars of damage got tired of it. She had a lawyer draw...
