    stupid question for the day

    are they on their side or upside down? I would say you just probably need to wait longer unless they are upside down. then IMO I would turn them.

    Honey Berries

    They are a honeysuckle but not actually the honeysuckle (which is what I thought you asked). I have read several things about them but I was looking for someone that actually has dealt with them to see what kind of first hand info there is out there.

    Honey Berries

    These are not honeysuckle. They are a berry that looks like a blueberry that has been stretched to be long. They grow in bushes like a blueberry does as well.

    Frost Panic attack...update photo post 10

    If you have room, here is a quick fix that will heat a 12x18 (mine) for a cold night that is scareing you. Get a metal coffee can in the 1lb size. Tear off any labels (dont disguard the lid). Get a full roll of toilet paper (thicker plusher is better). Pull out the cardboard roll in the...

    Carpenter Bees

    Got a grease gun or a can of WD-40? Shoot it in the hole that they are "drilling" in (I suppose you can make sure it is empty first) but they will not come back to it to work more and it is harmless to everything else.

    Re Potting

    A "float" bed is a styrofoam tray that is used to grow tobacco plants. Mine have 1x1 inch squares that you fill with potting soil and place one seed in. Then you "float" them in a slightly larger tray filled with water. There in about an 1/8 inch hole in the bottom of the tray to soak up...
