ahhh... what a bummer... owell. I have 2 semi dwarfs now...and would like to add one or two dwarfs for variety

Could you please direct me to one of these? I've been shopping at Gurney's for years now and have NEVER seen a dwarf apple tree. I just looked again and every apple I clicked on is semi-dwarf or full size. THANKS!

Mint was the only NICE thing growing here when we bought the house a few years ago. After hacking back everything to unbury the house, we found mint abounding everywhere. We've dug it up and transplanted it everywhere... including our dry creek bed, around our spa garden and when I built my...

Hello.. I'm up to $168.00 now in garden expenses for 2010. I think BUT AN NOT CERTAIN that mushroom compost is just compost that hasn't come from an animals hind end ;) and so is a personal preference to those who don't want to involve animals in their garden spaces. Here, our landscaping...

74*F and sunny Unfortunately I have a lot of computer work to do :( but also... Plant 2 types of lettuce outside for tomorrow's rain Keep cutting 2 liter bottles apart for the aqueduct Rotate hatch-lings & setup for the next hatch in a few days Establish a location for a dozen more sweet...

boy I wish I could find some spare gutters... there are about a dozen uses I can think of... but as far as gardening goes... I'd stick to a leaf lettuce or strawberry who's roots can grow out toward the sides too , not just down. If it were MY gutter piece.. this time of year.. I'd plant leeks...

:rolleyes: I couldn't help myself. I planted at least 2 of EVERYTHING.. except pumpkin & sunflower :tools I'm SO READY!! and HUNGRY :D the cucumber sprouts are looking good as are all the tomatoes! :weee

I'm trying to set the system up a bit before I take the pics. Give me another week or so and I think I'll have the back garden all setup.

I put this one together a few weeks ago because our fencline grew and this garden is now inside of our yard fence line with the chickens & dogs. This fence is made of every scrap in the yard and protects a mixed early season crop and then the sweet potatoes through fall. Posts are MOSTLY green...

planted H2Omelon & more cukes inside... more radishes outside :)

Well... it wasn't NEARLY as bad as it looked before!!! I pulled the straw off the ROWS only... and piled it up in between rows and around the whole big square in our walking paths, which will help during our short muddy season still to come. DH & I decided it would be more cost effective to...

I planted the first round of white onions... 10 table onions and about 20 green onions. :)

I am building a system right now... it will require us to manually turn it on & off but that's ok. I have a 55 gallon drum collecting water from the roofs and a gutter... when the drum is too full the water comes out an overflow pipe near the top of the barrel and pours out "away" from the...

I suppose it's possible that we do live in the shadow, it often feels as though we have an umbrella overhead!!! I think it's difficult for low clouds (rain clouds) to get past our surrounding mountains... I do use a lot of mulch and that is one of the reasons I stir woodchips into each...

It's 70 and sunny today. Whoo hoo. I'll take advantage of that and rake off what I can of the straw. I'll just pile it up around the walkway around the corn. So that the ground underneath can see some sun! Ducks.. I was hoping to get some more cool weather crops in. If I don't have them in...

We are planning on a truckload of fill dirt next week... that'll be about 1/2 ton of fill dirt for the corn.... I've got to put about a 1/4 ton in other places and thats a comfortable amount to shovel in a day (NOT) oh.. I hope that helps... I was hoping to try some pumpkins around the...

I'm satisfied with my own thinking which is... If DE is a shell, made of sharp points & ridges then over time & usage/exposure those points wear down as does any rock, sand, shell or fossil that we are accustomed to. Therefore my conclusion is that "used" DE is nothing to worry about. I...

Oh Pat, thank you. I feel so much better.. and yes as usual you are correct, it is a bit early in the season to work it and it is VERY VERY wet here.. puddles everywhere really after a fair bit of rain the last few days. Ok.. I will keep at it. One day [some year far in the future]... this...

I stationed some chickens in part of the corn patch this winter in a 10 X 10 dog run. All winter I layered in the stuff... started with dirt/clay then some wood chips, then some leaves, then some straw, then some leaves and some more straw... then the rain.. so more straw and more straw and...
