    2026, My year of Garden Narcissism

    Middle DD gave me some Mother's Day gardening mad money. I spent it on some nice 40+ rectangles of garden soil. I also picked up more tomatoes, a 6 pack of peppers and a 6 pack of eggplant, which I have never grown before. Still need to prep the areas, like move two 12 ft 6 ft tall fencing...

    Do you on the west coast have a governmental issue with using rain barrels, or saving rain water?

    Your DD would LOVE watching these YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/BaumgartnerRestoration He has restored several 500yo paintings, and one in question of around 1500AD, of the Queen of Cypress. Also, other notable artwork.

    PRINTERTOPIA When late DH shuttered his office we packed up all of the printers. I now have 9 laser printers in the house, the oldest one, HP 1020, is downstairs, but I couldn't print to half of them. Last weekend it was WAY too wet to mow, so eldest DD went printer by printer and downloaded...

    Not much gardening today, just laid down the ginormous 10'x20'???--forgot the size--on the weedy spot between the pine trees and neighbors yard, MY fence. When we did "printertopia" last Saturday, we filled up 4 cardboard boxes of paper. They were colored, so a no go for gardening, and I burned...

    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...

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    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...

    @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.
