There are actually wrought iron supports that go from my railing to the balcony above - the property manager told me when I moved in that they can be used as plant supports. That is such a good idea!!

Vegetables- "salad", maybe root veggies of some kind. I am thinking squash and watermelon are out; but I was hoping I could tomatoes, peppers, greens, maybe carrots or potatoes. I can come up with another tote if need be,but then I am out of space altogether. Gotta love living in an apartment...

I no longer have a yard, so I am limited to patio gardening. I want to grow vegetables. I have a plastic tote, 45 gallons, 36" x 21" x 19". What - and how much - could I realistically grow in there?

Rachel Carson was so far ahead of her time it's almost scary. What's scarier, is that her warnings were not heeded. She was truly a visionary.

Why are people on these sites not allowed to be different? Does everyone have to LOVE Christmas? I think it is perfectly acceptable to not like it and to say so. EVeryone has things they don't like. That does not mean they are negative or miserable They are just different from you. Why are...

I do not like the whole family tradition thing. I treat holidays like every other day - except, if I am lucky, I get a day off from work. I don't want to spend it following someone else's rules. I just do what I please. It makes me happy. I used to try to do the whole holiday...

Not being vigilant about groundhog access to the garden.

I believe the stuff you buy at Lowes is already aged, so it doesnt' need to be rabbit manure.

Thanks for that link.That is a cool site. Although aspirin is not organic, I don't put it in the same category with chemical pesticides. It's not organic, but I don't think it will leave residual toxins in my food.

A little off topic but nice photos! You must have a nice camera.

Hi Delight, I hope you don't mind that I saved your recipe as Word document. I don't want to risk losing it.

Oh my oh my. I can't wait for my Romas!

UPDATE!!! I have two - count'em - two beans on one of my bush bean plants!!! I am now hoping for a full comeback for this garden, even though it is July.

I have a Community Supported Agriculture share and my at my first pickup I told my sad story of how the groundhogs ate all of my plants. They gave me 6 heirloom tomato plants; 12 swiss chard plants, and about a half dozen assorted pepper plants. I thought that was great. You hit the jackpot...

There is nothing like weeding the onion patch with a curious chicken helping you.
