Awesome Secuono! Just AWESOME!

Seedcorn, you are so right! The best pest control is handpicking. Tedious and often seems pointless, even in a smallish garden. But it is safe.

I don't have flies in my mint ... and I have LOT. I think all the flies are on the back porch trying to get into the house. To join the other 486 flies that are already in the house:barnie As for the mint, cut the blooms (just remember the bees and butterflies love that mint too;))

I have Bees! 2 hives! Sadly I lost my 1st during that hideous horrible nasty insanely awful winter we had. The bees are just going gang busters right now. I live amongst the corn fields, but they are bringing in loads of pollen and nectar: they are making honey like little Bosses! Those tiny...

& Canesister, Lesa, Nyboy, Sumi, DigitS', Cat, Moxies, Lucky, Phila, Thistle, Journey... Thank You! You all are too sweet:hugs & Fun :D

Carol Dee is the Older Sister, and the Good Sister.:p

I am going to do it next spring. On purpose. ;)

I am about 6 mls east of Carol Dee, so we get together a LOT (Lucky me!) I have one veggie/herb garden & several flower gardens & stuff planted everywhere!

I do remember checking TEG out back in '11 but had toooo much going on & I don't actually remember joining o_O - (too much time in the herb garden - JK?)

Thanks journey11! I'll do that. The Delicious are a bit bland for pies or apple sauce. We like the Mac's for that. The Transparents are just SO good, but we usually don't get very many. I have been eating them right off the tree already ;)

We are going to (do have, already!) more apples than you can shake a stick at! Does anyone have great ways to preserve apples? I have had trouble finding an Apple Jam or Jelly that we really like, also. Any suggestions? BTW we have a Macintosh, a Delicious and a Transparent.

Beautiful trees!!! When we moved to our place, all we had were 3 old cottonwoods and 1 misshapen old cedar. Those cottonwoods ("the Girls", Stella, Della and Noreen) are now my favorite trees.

YES! And ... fresh mown hay ... the cow/hay barn ... the corn field on a hot humid day ... the gravel road after a rain ... fresh plowed dirt ... Ooops. That would be smells!

I had a friend who was sent out into the cornfield at night to chase the cows out (they had shoved open a gate into the cornfield) They were Angus. He got about 5 yards in, heard stomping and crashing ... he started stomping and crashing - out of the cornfield!! He always said that was when he...

Dang! You are FAST! It would take me (literally) years to get that much done! Looks very nice. Good job :thumbsup

"Freezer Camp" :lol: A friend of my son's had ducks as a 4H project. When they were raised and butchered he wrote their names on the package as it went into the freezer. So they knew "who they were eating", he said. Sick child.

I really like the concept of edible landscaping! I have used variegated Thyme, Pineapple Sage, various ornamental Peppers. I also have a short but steep slope behind the house that I am using Chocolate Mint as a ground cover on.

Congrats on P.of the W. I am not surprised!
