It isn't that big. It's not even a foot tall.

I love the smell, the look and the taste, but according to the nursery you have to keep the flowers trimmed or they quit growing. That's turned into a twice a day job, minimum. I'm a lazy gardener. :rolleyes:

One of the things I learned when I was in sales is that folks find the money for things they think they need. Ever seen the movie The Music Man? Remember the line, "Must create a desperate need for a boys band..."?

I fired up the new dehydrator last night, and have a pineapple-banana puree, pineapple slices and apple slices in it. So far, so good.

Sound familiar? ;)

Anyone ever try putting dandelion greens in a food dehydrator? I just got a cheap one (Harbor Freight) so now I'm looking for uses.

Good idea. Two people make it a lot easier. :thumbsup

It worked for us with our Red Sex-Links. No escapes since clipping one wing. :)

Turns out there is a third option. I had to go to Lowe's (where I bought the tree), and I asked the "plant lady" on duty. She said to cut them off and put them in potting soil, keep them moist and they'll root. She claims they're real easy to root. Multiple trees for the price of one. I gotta...

This is my Brown Turkey Fig. It seems to be doing well, but I worried that the huge leaves growing at ground level are sucking all of the nutrients away from the rest of the tree. Here's my dilemma: 1. Should I prune the main leader off and let the large healthier appearing ones grow thus...

I'm just guessing here, but I'm assuming that everyone is just using native dandelions for everything? No one has purposely planted any of the fancy-shmancy organic, French, Italian ad infinitum, ad nauseum varieties that I see advertised.

So, The dandelion "crop" has been bumper this year so I've been pulling them up and giving them to the chickens. The girls love 'em, but I got to wonderin' if it was a good idea so I did a little research. Turns out they are extremely nutritious ranking right up there near Kale . Another plus...

Have you considered this stuff? It's latch hook canvas. The weave is a bit more open than burlap, so it might not work for your purpose. :idunno

I thinned the Kale and trimmed the Boxwood Basil. Yesterday I planted Thyme and Lemon Basil in pots. :tools

Getting ready to trim the basil. A search brought mixed results on how to do this. Some say a leaf-at-a-time, others say whole stems are the way to go and yet a third recommends a "military buzz cut" whatever that means. :hu Please advise. :hugs

When I said deteriorated I wasn't kidding. This is about as solid as it gets.

I had pictures of carefully laying each straw individually, but yours is funnier. :lau :yuckyuck :woot

Your right. My mistake. I shouldn't have included Eggplant in the list. :hide

A neighbor gave me some packets of seed: Watermelon Cantaloupe Squash Eggplant Cucumber All of the directions on the packets say that they should be planted in hills a foot high and two feet across. Does what's under the hill make any difference? I was thinking of putting them on the...
