I was sooooo tempted to use some egg cartons for my veggie plants. But I had so many old Christmas paper rolls laying around I went that way. I did not know pete moss smelled so bad. :D

Thank for the advice. Greenhouse, oh your so lucky. :D

Wow, those look great. Now I have something else I need to do today. Which way does the window face? South? I have a glass door on my laundry room, facing south. But thats it in that direction. may be my best bet due to the fact the room is allways warm. My dining room has a ton of...

Beavis.... Did you close the bottoms of the tubes? I was trying to figure out if they needed to be plugged somehow. I have about twenty TP rolls. I was going to cut them in half. Not sure exactly the plan yet. g

Thanks, Beavis. I got them all filed up with composted horse manure a couple months ago. I planted some cooler crops directly. They are looking great.

I had my husband build me a couple of new beds in summer. I layered chafs of straw on the botom because they are very deep. Then I brought in a truck load of free mostly composted horse manure. One bed I added a couple of cubes of soil from the garden store. But the horse poop beds are...

Hello there. Just wanted to check and see if you got snow this week. I noticed on the weather last night your area was 32deg. I hope all is good for you. G

Yesterda I added 5 new trees to my orchard. Tow avodcados, three types of oranges and a fig. Yeahhhh!!!!! I can't wait for the Blood Oranges. They are soooo good.

You know I usually use the upload in SS forum and BYC without a problem. For some reason It's telling me I have the wrong file type. I told my husband the story of the tree when he got home. I even showed him the tiny almond. He can't believe it. I live on just under 2 acres here...

Oh, beavis how I envy your flat land. Everything looks so good.

Hey we are practically neighbors. I am in Vista. I don't have quite as many trees as you but I try to add a few more each year. I have 2 apple, plum, peach, apricot, grapefruit some kinda half dead orange. And in the last couple years I planted pear, nectarine, lime, lemon and 2 avocados...

Huh, that makes me wonder. Maybe I will spare the tree for another season. It's interesting how similar the leaves are. Thank you for taking the time to photograph them. That was very kind of you. Where abouts do you live? What other nut trees do you have? I have a macadamia but that's it...

Sure why not. I did go out in the yard to look for pits.. I found one. I think they really look like just immature nectarines. I did a google search but did not see any leaves up close. I am sure I have a tree book around somewhere. I'll have to look for it. Thanks.

Ok now I am intrigued. I have a tree that is supposed to be a nectarine. The graft died and root stalk grew. The fruit looks kinda like your pre rot almonds. Do the fruits look green like that when they fall? Then just yesterday I was reading an article in Country side about the guy who...

thank you, that is very interesting. gina

Very nice!:D

Sunbury you have an amazing yard and home. Where abouts are you located. Everything is so green. With a lake out front you must have ample supply of water. Thanks for sharing. g

I am no expert, in fact I had a green house and killed everything in it. I did however give the little frame to my neighbor last week. He did an interesting thing. He lined both sides with fresh not composted manure. His theory is that the manure will give off heat this winter and help the...

Thank you, I guess I will need to watch my shadows for a couple days. I am on a hill and the trees face the east. They usually grow kinda funny leaning up hill towards the west. I have planted several different times over the last 7 years. I lost most of my citrus because of lack of water...

So, for the last several years I have been adding trees to my orchard. Even replacing some that did not make it. I have two avocado, two apple, two nectarine, lemon, lime, appricot, peach, plum and a pear. Up until now my planting has been in rows about 5 - 6 trees deep spaced about 10 to 15...
