Sounds like it might have a chance after all. Heres hoping! We're not going to put in a solid wall for a fence. But it is going to have wooden slats seperated by a few inches. Later hoping that I can get some virginia creeper to grow up it. I have tried to get shrubs to grow. The wind here is a...

Well I hope I didn't just plant a tree to murder it. It's a pear tree rated for our zone. But we do get killer winds in the winter. Going to get up a tall wind brake/privacy fence so hopefully that will help cut the wind enough.

Ok, I'm zone 4 and understand that. But what about a tag that only says resistant to these temps. Lets say for example -20 below. Is this ambient temp of should I include wind chill?

Boy do I know how that is! Trying to water anything is a treat. I went to Menards and bought a whole lot of tree rings to keep ducky bills out away from my trees. My flower beds were almost devistated last year. They have their own bed to play in now. Trowel or shovel is an open invitation for...

Thanks for the replies. Our local ag agent told me that we have no organic material in the soil here. To make a lawn or garden here's what he suggested. Bring in 1 foot of manure in spring,rip as deep as possible,plant winter wheat. In the fall repeat. Next spring bring in the manure,rip,than...

I want to buy some new growth cuttings of yellow twigged dogwood. Or trade-I have 3 seed packages of tomatoes,supersteak hybrid,big boy and super sweet 100. Plus 1 package of jalepeno M.

My back yard is solid bentonite,doesn't grow anything but some scraggly weeds. My description is this. Sahara in the summer and the tundra in the winter. Gumbo in the spring and concrete in the summer. I'm scared that if I add sand it will just turn into worse concrete. I've read about green...

So sorry that they feel that way.:hugs Theres alot of less wholesome things you could get caught up in. I wouldn't think providing food would be an aggravation to anyone. The carrot thing is a great idea. I think I'll do that one for my grand kids!

Boy I'll be starting late! Been working long hours and let the time get away from me. Well I'll start them on Wednesday and cross my fingers. Well it's a good excuse to build my cold frame over my garden this summer. Had a killing frost the third week of August last year. Not going to happen...

When do you start your garden seeds? I can't plant anything out side before May 15th. If even that early. I'm planting things like tomato,peppers,cabbage etc. When should I start my plants?

I just read up on this! The way I understand it is: Chicken is considered hot over other manures because of the high nitrogen content. The way it breaks down is. The ammonium in chicken is available immediately to the plants. Other kinds break down slowly. I use the chicken as a top treatment...

I've been trying to figure this out also. I have 2 saltwater tanks that have corals and algae in them. Saltwater uses lumens and spectrum. ! tank has VHO lights and one has metal Halides. Both have actinic bulbs also attached. More of the blue wave length that the corals need. So I guess what...

We aren't dry right now! It just dried up enough to walk in the back yard. But I am getting tired of hearing the mantra of" We do need the moisture". Hasn't anyone out hear heard of RAIN?? We're at 104% of normal. What do they mean?? I was always told to give 100% of what ever, was the total sum!

When will it end?? :barnie Starting tonight,Thursday and Friday. Calling for 2 feet in the higher elevations, 7 inches down here. But I figure 12 inches. I soooo want to get my garden and flowers going. I am also soooo jealous that other people have already done so.

Thank you for the warm welcomes. Squash is on my list this year. Glad to know that something will grow easily out here.LOL Wyoming has alot of extremes. I heard last year on an extension broad cast that the sun in winter kills more trees than anything. It is so intense that it causes the cells...
