    That looks a lot like what we call "dog fennel" around here:

    I neat trick I devised for sowing teeny, tiny seeds...

    Water and a medicine dropper. Forgive me if this is common knowledge, but I had the trickiest time sowing the smallest of my seeds recently. Catnip, snapdragons, cherry tomatoes, poppies, etc. They had been soaking in water overnight and the thought dawned on me of using a medicine dropper...

    Proposed garden layout. Comments & suggestions welcome (& asked for!)

    I learned the hard way with my raised beds... peat moss is a soil acidifier. If your soil is already acidic, stay far far away from peat moss.

    Well that's a neat surprise...

    I'm trying some Moon and Stars watermelons this year. The leaves have spots and I just knew they'd been attacked by some sort of malady. But then it dawned on me... maybe the leaves are speckled too. Sure enough, they are! How cool! :D

    Taters - disease, or bugs?

    Cool beans! I wish they would start carrying the good stuff. I couldn't find it ANYWHERE locally last year and had to order it online.

    What is this tree?

    Oh yes - from here in Macon, Georgia, the self-proclaimed "Cherry Blossom Capital of the World" I can say that that is most undoubtedly a cherry blossom. :)

    What is this tree?

    Yep - looks like a weeping cherry to me too, although I've only seen pink ones.

    Taters - disease, or bugs?

    The DE that I've seen at Lowe's has been for use in swimming pools. I know it's not supposed to be used with chickens. Not sure how it fares in the garden.

    ground bees, anyone?

    We have a bunch of little holes in the ground too, but I haven't known what they are. Maybe this is what we've got. Our holes look like you've stuck a golf tee in, then pulled it straight out. No mound of dirt around the opening, like it's an earthworm.

    Ha! It seems I never miss a good chance to kill plants! :lol: I even take advantage of mildly mediocre chances to kill plants as well!

    what to plant together?

    I am trying that as well this year. The corn is planted in roughly a hexagon shape, with squash plants between neighboring hexagons and beans on the outside. (I found a great diagram in a book somewhere.) I have also read that the beans should not be planted until the corn is at least a foot...

    Bell peppers and 44 degrees overnight?

    I wish I did. They're so pretty! But I don't do spicy anything. Even bell peppers are yuck. :(

    understory tree/bush with frilly white flowers

    Yeah, they're usually in someone's yard or on the edge of a tree line. Like the one in the link you posted.
