Welcome to TEG, hollybird! :bouquet

Hi tiffanyh! I just saw your post asking for carpet phlox - well, we've sure got it! I'll be happy to send you some plants. I can't tell at this point which color grows where, so I could just send a nice variety, hoping to sample all the colors (we have several: white, pink, darker pink...

supposedly cats also are repelled by crushed hot pepper (dried) sprinkled around

punkin, have you tried using DE (diatomaceous earth) for pest bugs in the garden? The only catch is to just use it when needed, as it kills beneficial insects as well...but it gets away from using a chemical.

wow, it's like they were living up to their name: lightning bugs! :rolleyes:

Hey, welcome everybody! :frow I'm pretty new here myself and wish this sire had been around ages ago! (OK, I'm not THAT old! :D ) Anyway, gardening keeps you young. I just love messing around outside with plants. It's great to have a place to ask for ideas, share what works, and just talk...

:dance Welcome to TEG!

Wonderful plan! Such a great way to build fun memories. :D

:yuckyuck Oh yeah, I forgot about the flamboyant red fall color - often the brightest thing in our yard.

I'd be very happy with tulip or crocus bulbs, if you have any to spare. Do you want me to start listing some of the perennials I can divide, or do you want to start a wish list and see what I have? What herbs do you need? I have2 kinds of mint - who doesn't?), lemon balm. anise hyssop, oregano...

We have a grove of sumac (not the poisonous kind) in our backyard, and I'd be glad to send some red fuzzy seeds (OK, it's silly, but they're called berries) to anyone who's interested. They attract a wide variety of birds, esp as the winter wears on.......there's nothing like seeing a flock of...

I was going to suggest blueberry rhubarb jam, which we made for the first time this summer (made several batches & really enjoy it), if you can get rhubarb this late in the season...and then I noticed Patandchickens sent you the recipe! It's a nice change, and the rhubarb (free; we grow it)...

What kind of bulbs do you have available?

First of all, I want to welcome you to TEG! :ya Wow, I just noticed that you just joined tonight...that's neat. Well, I don't have any fruit things to offer, but do have tons of different perennials, and a few herbs... maybe some would interest you. We're zone 5 now (recently changed from 4)...

What kinds of things are you looking for? What would you like to trade?

I feel your pain :/ We just had our first frost (locally, at least) last week, and it was not forecast. Fortunately we picked our solo red 'mater earlier...

Hi Greenthumb18 - How far from Vermont are you? (I'm trying to figure out what might survive shipping.)

Silkiechicken, I've copied a post from Rosalind that may help as you get closer to expected frost: "I have these two giant green tomatoes that are, like, a pound each, and I'd like them to ripen one of these days... You know, if you have a frost coming for sure, and you pull the whole tomato...

It's official for the Clarendon Flats where we live: we got our first frost! :ep Yeah, at least I got everything I really valued covered with plastic. All I can say is...:barnie

Rosalind, what a great idea! That will help supplement the ONE ripe tomato we got so far! :he < and here's a picture of it.
