:bun :drool I must say - so far the Brandywine is my most favorite tomato for eating fresh.

I think it's safe to just lay it on the plants. At least that is what we do with our fruit trees when we get a late frost and this keeps even the budding new leaves from getting frost-bit. They make these flaoting row covers and although I don't have them from what I understand they lay over the...

The images I concoct are gruesome.... :sick (must be watching too much CSI :caf )

I don't even wear aprons and I think those are darling!

Joe, I know I didn't send anything even close to what you sent me but you are mightily welcome. There is never such a thing as too many friends and I feel very, very lucky to count you as one of mine! :bouquet If ever you see something I have that might interested you, all you have to do is...

Remember, it doesn't HAVE to be fall colors. Some areas are green year-round, others always look burnt and dead. So, just something that means fall for your area.... BTW, ya'll, LOTS of great pics!!!

Next year will be my first year to really pay attention to seed-saving and keeping a variety true. All of my seeds for next year are from outside sources but from there on out will be from my own saving. Tomatoes WILL cross but they are not as easily crossed as, say, squash or peppers. The...

It kills me too when I go somewhere like Wal Mart and see all those plants that would require like 2" of care to THRIVE yet I KNOW they will all croak from lack. I know they are "just" plants but SHEESH what a waste!

Roger and I have matching drivers - Big Bertha's. Actually, I think we have 3 of them but it's been SOOOO long since we have had a chance to go golfing (money wise and lack of a babysitter) I'm not even sure where he has stashed them.... :/

DANG IT :barnie ! Of course I didn't save my receipts! Well, that won't happen again.... :rant BTW, thanks for letting me know so I will save them next time :bouquet

No, you certainly have every right to be frustrated. My mother used to aggravate me to NO END. SHe would always call at THE most inopportune time - my husband and I used to joke that she had sonar or something and could just know when to interrupt. And sometimes it seemed like she ALWAYS needed...

No, most of my mini roses were bought on clearance from either Wal-Mart or our local grocery store. They never came with tags :/ Oh Ron, I'm so sorry you don't get to see many more blooms from your brug. I know the first year I had mine I was pretty freaked when I saw how it just turned to...

Ron, I'm with you. I am already ready for spring and we haven't even had a frost yet.... I dread winter :/

Wow, I wish I could just hop my bike and go looking for such glorious things to grow. Ron, you must really rank for a score such as this :bow

There is so much my mother passed down to me that I never knew until she was gone. I guess I was lucky - I inherited the love of gardening, my sister's inherited the love of alcohol. There isn't a day that goes by I don't wish she could taste a fresh tomato from my garden. Or gripe at me for how...

I think we should a do "Fall Pic" thread so everyone can post at least one picture of what fall looks like for them. Whether it's tumbleweeds rolling or a menagerie of gorgeous colors. Break out those camera's ya'll and show us what YOU see :) This taken this morning looking out back while I...

I understand the "no budget" thing - we never have a budget for gardening which is why I am always making something from nothing around here to try and accomodate my addiction.... :P

Was out getting a "fall" shot and couldn't resist taking these while out there....

You know, I saw some planters at the local hardware store that are triangular and meant to go around a pole. I wonder if that would work for your situation? Perhaps go backwards with it and start at the top....

I picked that sucker yesterday and shared it with Roger. We ate it like an apple.... :drool Well, the way our weather usually goes we will get a light frost then a week or 2 of decent weather then a hard frost. So I have blankets and sheets ready for that first light frost which has me watching...
