Back to gardening on this NON gardening thread... "Earthworms are native to the United States, says Melissa McCormick, ecologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, but the earthworms in some northern parts of the country (including Vermont) aren’t indigenous."...

Only gardeners would appreciate this!

I love your rustic fencing!! :love I am going to empty into my cistern bc I use it to water so much that I have lowered it to the point where I had to fill it from the Other cistern, but it's cheaper than buying city water. Do you have anything besides aquatic plants in your pond?

Coffee with the unjelled but totally delicious lemon meringue pie I made yesterday. DD's had a pie intervention. I listened to some BAD advice re corn starch and butter. We went on YouTube to see what Chef John had to say about this, and a few others (names??) and the next one will be better...

I feel your pain...REALLY!! :hugs

Sunshine and a little bit windy today. Would have been gardening outside by now, BUT, DD's are on a mission that required measured wood, Purchasing wood, and left me to make the last turkey in their freezer, which is on, with 2 quarts of turkey broth, and innards cooking away in my oldest...

This is "Georgian", based on late 18th, early 19th century Neo Classical architecture popular in Europe and in the early US. Here is an example:

I am so VERY SORRY for your loss! :hugs I love your rain barrel set up! I, too have a rain barrel, in it's box in the garage, in front of where I park MY car, so I won't lose it. :rolleyes: I plan to set it up to the downspout on the SE corner of the house and run a 50 ft hose directly into the...

For those of you who use PREEN, in 2024 they came out with a PREEN that lasts for 6 months. The price is less than buying two that last for 3 months. I believe that any old pellets from the 3 month version are still viable. Just FYI. Bear in mind--this stuff is a pre-emergent that kills...

EVERYBODY has a white car. I have 3 yellow duckies on my dashboard, so I know it's me. 🦆🦆🦆

This year, since I have saved so many distilled water jugs, I intend to punch holes with a fork on the bottoms, save the lids, tie to stakes by my tomatoes and peppers, etc., and practice very slow drip irrigation. I have 5 slow drip hoses, but they take more water than I like. Just a thought...

Dunno. Guess I wouldn't buy from This nursery.

Dunno if anybody here has grown cotton. @majorcatfish, maybe... Here are 6 types: https://trueleafmarket.com/search?q=heirloom+cotton Here are 4 types: https://www.southernexposure.com/categories/cotton/

It's not ever a good idea to let plants in pots overwinter IN their pots. I have, successfully, followed advice to bury a tree in it's pot in a garden bed, and it survived and thrived.

Here is aNOTHER pretty pot that I bought at Walgreens many years ago. It is made of pottery so really terra cotta, no drainage holes. I am hiding the chip on the other side. I think I paid $2.50 for it. Right now I am using it as a tray for another pot. I love using terra cotta when you...

Indoor gardening today. VERY WET outside, also very windy. I redid the soil for the sickly spider plant. It was in the wrong soil and had very wet feet. It had a long root, I mixed less than the best soil with straight sand, put it in a terra cotta pot with a drainage hole and it is sitting...

Try growing grocery store garlic First. It Won't overwinter, but you can make some notes and still eat them, then look to buy locally grown garlic this Fall. That will have the best chance to do well in your garden. You plant them in the Fall like you plant Spring bulbs in the Fall. Best time...

Middle DD has been working from home for 5 years now. During COVID her employer needed to keep good workers, and sent many of them to work from home IF their job was an online one. She helps create their web page, and drives 20 minutes to their office 2x/month, and maybe a few more times, like...

I have bought before from: https://www.starkbros.com/ I am pretty sure that they guarantee their trees for replacement. My purchases from them didn't need to be replaced.

First day of Spring, y'all!! :welcome SPRINGTIME!!!:woot
