On a recent episode of Mid American Gardener, they mentioned that even hardy native-to-your-area perennials can get frost nipped at 37 degrees F. They even said that many (hybrid) Magnolias lost their blooms in our county last month. NOT.mine. I planted 15 ft east of the middle of my house and...

TOO.TRUE.

I have now gone over to the dark AI side, and here is your answer: "Yes, horseradish can survive the winter in a garage in a pot. Because it is an extremely hardy perennial (thriving in USDA zones 3-9), the roots will survive even freezing conditions, but they perform best if the pot is kept...

Downstairs I had left a paper sack full of small potatoes from 2025 that had sprouted. I also found, in a closed Jar of all places, garlic cloves that Were sprouting. Yesterday I decided to plant them all and to transplant the Red German Garlic over to the northmost bed, from the one further...

@Marie2020, are you trying to Tell me something?!? :lol:

@Rillowen , I suggest that you dig the horseradish up and pot it. They can grow a root 15 ft long.

Agreed on the Seeds but a lot are bermudagrass and when I dig them up I can also dig up the runners, too.

I managed to get the sloppy mow done before the storms moved in. DD who works one county SW of ours told me that the storms there were loud and nasty. Middle DD, 2 hours NW of us, told me that they lost power about one hour ago from the storms, probably lightning hit a transformer. Hope to...

@Gardening with Rabbits , I am just south of the border of 5b and 6a. We are a good 10 days from any more frosts and looking at ups and downs with areas north and east setting record highs! Today, we got a good pouring rain. One month ago we were still in a drought. NOW, there are days I...

All of the garlic survived transplanting. The 4 that I found and transplanted a few weeks ago took a good week to look better, so I have high hopes. My tomato seedlings are still SO tiny, so I used my $25 rewards at Farm and Fleet to buy some tomatoes. They are locally grown and look very nice...

Agreed! I was gonna cage in my blueberries but maybe the smell of garlic will discourage rabbits.

SIL took 15yo Tenma in this morning to send her along. IT was VERY HARD for him. Please pray. 🙏 🙏 🙏

@Shades-of-Oregon , WHAT a lovely landscape!!:love

@flowerbug , I should add that I STill have some of the garlic that you sent me a few years ago!! I have killed off Some of my garlic, but garlic is TOUGH. I know that my friend insists that her garlic is a nuisance invasive, but I get a lot of wild onion and I have learned to love it when it...

COLD May

I Thought I had no garlic. Wrong. Yesterday I transplanted 25 errant White Porcelain Garlic--I remember sticking them next to the fenceline as tiny things last year, and 50 small Italian Garlic. Growing them on the east side of the house doesn't get enough sun. I figure if they aren't big...

@Phaedra , do you ever make bread from high protein flour? I have 1/3 packages of this stuff that I need to use up. The First loaf was delicious, the 2nd loaf was bitter--I added extra sugar and honey to the first loaf. ALSO, they just didn't really rise much, even though I doubled the yeast...

Going offline until tomorrow. Can't afford to have This laptop fried from lightning. :hide

Ponies made it out to the 3 acre North Pasture. The bog at the gate finally dried up. They.are.tickled.pink.
