    I have watched eNOUGH gardening programs to tell you that the experts do NOT have 100% successes! When somebody tells you to overwinter your peppers, for instance, they expect about 50% success, but do it anyway, so you are in good company. :hugs They are ALSO guilty of "this plant just Jumped...

    They don't look Great, but I would try it anyway. I know that bareroot plants come with the roots looking dead, But there usually is evidence of growth above. Have you tried bending any of the tops? If they don't bend, or, if you cut and there isn't any green, then they are goners. :confused:

    Everyone needs a little bit of basil in their lives. This has been a seed starting learning experience for me. Good thing I used cheap seeds! The first batch dried out and I had to replant. I have a ziplock bag cover, but it's very wet TODAY, so I will let it dry out a Bit, then cover again.

    Actually I phrased my question in the wrong way. HOW did you keep the weaned lambs on one side, the other sheep on the Other side and deposit the round bale in between them. BRILLIANT idea...just couldn't see how you did it!

We will see what happens, but this settles my argument (w/myself)--see one of my favorite t shirts below)--about what to do with my whiskey barrel planter. I Was going to move it to DD's house this summer as an herb planter, but that...
