AH! Stakes...noooo!!! :th Good ole Steve. How ya doing? :D Well that is quite the stake maze you have going on there...but I'm sure the results will be worth all the effort. Dahlias are beautiful flowers and always a hit. I guess I don't hate the stakes themselves....just all the effort...

Try the pruning Mary and see if that works next season.....and if it DOESN'T......go to your neighbor and beg them for some of theirs!!! :bow :P

I agree with jewelweed. I've used the sap on poison ivy, and yes, it actually works very well! :thumbsup

Yup! Who knows....must just be some crazy Californian condition? :P Have you moved or divided them before?

:thumbsup Carrots are one of my favorites to grow...

Good to be back...just had a very busy spring! :) Yeah...that pink yarrow....I dunno if there will be much hope. :/ Mine ALWAYS flopped every year once the flower heads started opening up. The stems just weren't strong enough to hold the flowers up. I guess it flopped the least when we...

:thumbsup Way to go vfem!

:frow Hey Schultz! I dunno about you guys in Indy, but up here by the IN/MI border things are growing well with all the rain and heat. We've had so many storms tho...some of my corn is leaning over a bit from the latest winds....:rolleyes:

I've had the pink-flowering yarrow before, and it always flopped over when it started blooming. It spread like crazy too...so we just replaced it with nicer looking stuff instead. :D I dunno if it would work with the yarrow, but with the lavender you could try pruning it as it grows to promote...

HiDelight, sorry to hear about the tendonitis....:/ I have a question....after you've cooked and prepared the pot of beans w/ epazote, does it still have a strong flavor? I like the fact that it can prevent gas, but I dunno if the fam would be too wild about a strong/strange flavor....

Thanks for sharing! It's nice to see green and colors other than white....:P Enjoy those plants of yours...up here we're supposed to be getting a lot more snow tomorrow...:/

I think I saw some of y'all talking about epazote on here somewhere....so I went ahead and ordered some seed for this season! :D So yeah...I guess I'm interested in what everyone has to say about it too! :pop

Hey snewman, I think using blueberries in the landscaping would be a great idea. They really have year-round interest - spring flowers, summer fruit, bright red fall color, and red stems for winter color. I don't have any experience with the dwarf blueberries...:idunno I'm assuming they are...

Exactly!!! :lau

Nice pics desertgirl! It's about time this thread got back on track....:P :hide

a bit of a wang aftertaste...:gig......I agree! Although.... sometimes I would come across some that were perfectly golden ripe, with no aftertaste...and I thought they kinda tasted like gummi bears! :drool

Good idea! Have you done this a lot before Insiderart? Does most everything come up true to seed?

jojo54 - I like raw kohlrabi too! Tried some from the farmer's market and I'm hooked now...it's good to hear that it's not hard to grow. I want to try some in containers. wifezilla - My ground cherries did great this past year. I was working in a greenhouse last spring and my employer let me...

I love trying new stuff each year! Last year's new thing was Ground Cherries.... This coming year I want to grow Kohlrabi (tried it for the 1st time this past summer and....yum! :drool ) and some different varieties of Alpine strawberries. As far as flowers go, I want to try Cerinthe this year.

I must confess...I'm a tomato-pruner! :hide Well...sort of.... We always do a single cherry tomato on our deck each year. I prune any side branches that start growing too far outward (and outside of the tomato cage). That way the plant can focus on growing upward, and it keeps things a little...
