Im in Zone 9, from what I've been told. My Hy's are already dying off, the flowers anyways. They bloomed way before my tulips, they're just starting now.
I know this post is a little late, but I actuall have something to post now, lol. I havent been to walmart without purchasing something since they started getting seeds. Im up to 45 packets of seeds, 5 lbs of potatoes and roughly 190 onion sets.... and a 9 pack of broccoli plants... oh and 5...
Thank you, Athena. That means a lot to me, really. My grandma is my best friend, and we're really close, so this is just one more thing we can do together. I really really appreciate your comments though.
I discovered she's got 8 or so bales of straw in her garden doing nothing, so we might...
Thanks, Steve. Im glad to get input from someone who also walks with a cane. My grandma uses the hoe for support a lot too, it does make her look wise, haha!
LOL, grandma would probably do a better job at building them than me honestly! But no... I'll make my dad build em. :lol:
I like the...
Thanks everyone! Part of my reason for planting corn was to plant beans on the stalks. We did that last year and it worked perfectly. The beans on the corn actually did better, the ones by themselves were destroyed by aphids. There is also a trellis with a row on each side out there that would...
Hi folks,
I've got my own garden space here at home now, so Im not going to be growing one in the same space I did last year. My grandma is hoping to though, and I want to clean it up for her and make it more accessible to her. She has neuropathy, so she has to walk with a cane most of the...
Thanks, Natalie. It was very unexpected, he had a heart attack in the bathroom. So, its just opened my eyes to everything and I'd really hate to lose my relationship with my grandma. Of course, when I got out there today, she wasnt home! So Im going on Sunday to see her. I was looking out there...
Thanks! I love gardening, so I plan a bit and then throw things together and hope for the best! It usually works. My grandma is doing good, thanks for asking. We actually had a fall out due to my aunt couple months ago and I've only spoken to her maybe 5 times. My grandpa passed away in Jan...
Thank you, Natalie! Last year, everything but the tomatoes, peppers and eggplants were started from seed! I started tomatoes and peppers from seed this year though, so we will see how that goes. I have a whole new garden space this year. Not as much space so I've got a lot of planning to do...
Im glad someone else brought this up, because I've noticed it with my tomatoes as well. I never thought about the wind helping them be stronger, make sense though, haha. I tried the Wintersown deal this year, but after one tomato arrived, we got horrible winds that blew my jugs all over the...
That's exactly how I feel as well. I put so much effort into raising my garden, and then I go through and pick through the ones that I want to kill. Not fun! That's why I usually sit out there and take my time picking up each seed and spacing it properly, but with carrots and lettuce, I dont...
That swing set looks great! How does your daughter like it? Me and my siblings wore out so many of those things growing up. :lol:
Cute chick by the way! Its always fun when you have a broody hatch her own babies.
It looks great! You sound like me, haha. Its been raining all week so I've got about 80 pots in my room planted now. I had soil and pots, and a whole mess of seeds.... why not?! :lol:
Update with pics of all of your pots! Heck, even if nothing is growing, its fun to see little pods of dirt, haha.
Great point, Ranch. Its been raining off and on all week, so I definitely wouldnt want to do that. I dont want to kill the cats, I just dont want them using my garden as a poop box! Ahh, earmites, didnt think of that. Poor things, one had a caked up eye yesterday, but they're insane.
Trapping...
Hi Guys!
I was at Walmart today browsing about the garden section when I noticed the trees. I was talking to my grandma and she asked me what kind of Nectarines they had because she's wanting one. They had Fantasia, Sun Grand and May Grand. It said they were all freestone, but that's all I...
Thank you all for your help, I think right now the fence might be something to try, but the other ideas make sense as well. Sunbury, its been raining all week, I dont want to go apply it at 3 in the morning when they're all pooping after the rain, LOL.
CM, Im talking about probably 30-35 cats...
