    Garden Glass - more on pg 2

    It was really fun to collect glass items. I just glued them together with clear silicone glue. Now, I'm working on glass plate flowers. I'll post a pic tomorrow. They're even easier to make than the totems!

    Wisteria......shoots at the base......ARGH!

    Have you tried the Blue Moon wisteria? I bought one at the end of the season last year, when it was really cheap. I didn't think it would survive the winter, but it did! -30 F for 2 straight months. It's HUGE now and really healthy.

    My root crops don't seem to like the bagged garden soil much

    Maybe the soil you bought had too much nitrogen. Root crops like potassium, not nitrogen. This might be why non-root crops grown in the same soil are doing well. Next time try adding bone meal to the soil before you plant your root crops. PS. I love Mel Bartholomew soil recipe. It's made...
