This is fabulous VFEM! Thanks!

Like most, I only wear gloves if I'm doing some sort of rough work. Otherwise, it's dirty nails all the way.

((SLAPS FOREHEAD)) I KNEW THAT! What was I thinking?! Thanks Lesa!

I have absolutely no idea what's the matter with it, if anything.... I just wanted to say that it sure is pretty.

We have some wild blackberries growing quite prolifically in one of our side yards and tonight, my DD and I went out and picked some. We ended up only getting a little over a pint (more are ripening) and I was wondering how long they would keep before they aren't fit to eat. My DH loves...

Could they be mason bees?

Great photos! I really enjoyed them!

You could make a mead flavored with rose hips.

X2. I think this is a great idea.

For me, I loved my raised beds because I have more of an ability to control the soil (less sq footage in my raised beds) - we put in the kind we wanted from the get-go and will only amend lightly every year, less problem with critters (moles, rabbits) and they are higher up making weeding MUCH...

:thumbsup That looks great! I need to try biscotti one of these days LOL

Excellent! Thanks very much!

That is lovely! No wonder you call it the Enchanted Forest!

I think the newspaper and straw is a good idea. This is the first year I have tried straw to keep the weeds down, but I hear good things about it. I have it spread between my raised beds. In the fall I will till it under and do a bit of amending. The idea for me is to get that area (a heavy...

I don't know how expensive screening is, but maybe tulle from the fabric store might be an option as well.

That looks very nice lighthawk! That's food for thought right there...no pun intended.

I do it more for the challenge of getting something to grow. I have the black thumb of DOOM....or at least I did. Lately, it's turning a more brownish color...maybe a sickly yellow on a good day :gig I also do it because food prices are just crazy these days. I want to grow more of what we...
