They're selling them at Trader Joe's right now! I'm tempted to buy one but my yard is so small...

Great ideas, thanks! I like the idea of putting pots on the fence... and an espalier tree would be fantastic (I just came across these myself using stumbleupon, which it turns out is actually kind of fantastic), but since this is a co-op and I don't own the place/am not sure I'm going to be...

Thanks Steve =) All those suggestions sound fantastic, especially the strawberries. Yum! I'll have to keep any mildew-susceptible things further away from the fence, which I'm sure gets a little soggy. New challenge: finding appropriate lumber for a raised bed without driving all the way to...

That was my first instinct when I saw that - definitely more of an infection than a theft.

I haven't taken patent law yet (next semester!), but here's some advice based on my basic understanding of the matter: When you buy plants normally, part of the expectation is that you can recreate/propagate/breed them as you see fit. When they add that tag you then know you're just buying one...

I love rabbits, but as house pets (with litter boxes! they're really smart, like somewhere between cats and dogs in intelligence). But I got this article that suggests you put up gates to let your chickens in to peck at your garden, and maybe that's something you can do for the rabbits - but...

Guess who Google Maps made happy? This girl! Check it out: This picture was taken August 28, 2010. My yard is the brown one - the second plot on the left of the drive, with the blurry silver car on the other side of the fence. The sun goes about 6 feet into my yard. Am I correct in...

I want bees! They're not allowed within 100 ft of residences in DC, so I can't. But we have some on a rooftop at a community center here, and some at my school's campus, so I get my fill. How are the classes?

Thanks guys! It definitely looks like google images' burning bushes. Less red though. I will leave it until I get something to replace it with, but it's really an eye sore and takes up a lot of space, so I'll just make into a smaller eye sore. Kiwis??? I can grow KIWIS? in DC? Really? Also...

I'm about to take some shears to this bush, so I want to know if it's something I'll actually want around before I decide whether to cut it back, or to cut it way back. This picture is from October in Zone 7A. Currently it has just a few leaves left on it from the fall, some have turned mostly...

You guys are so encouraging. My hopes and dreams are back! Seriously. I'm going to plant a blueberry bush. And an elderflower one. I'm not sure about any of this, but one of my neighbors has either a rosemary or something that looks just like it along their fence. It's a decent size...

Thanks everyone! I took the photos in late October. I hadn't thought about the light in the summer - it's possible there is some, at least on the far side of the yard, when the sun is overhead rather than low in the south (the house must make less of a shadow, right?). That gives me an idea...

I love this idea! It fits with what I'm hoping for when I (eventually?) get married. Nice reception outside with lots of natural stuff. Definitely mason jar tea light lanterns. I was on a road trip and I tried a blueberry lavender jam on the side of the road. I didn't realize how good...

Hello! Came across this forum and searched around, but I'm a little confused as to whether some of the answers would apply to my specific situation. I recently moved into a house in DC and it has a yard that's a complete blank slate (some kind of miracle here). It's a rowhouse, and the...
