I have my asparagus bed made out of the patio edgers we were given a few yrs ago & they work great!!! I did not mortar them either & no problems with bowing either. The only problem is the water sometimes runs out the sides, but otherwise a great use for them. I also have raised beds made out...

Dairy Queen is still here in the same place downtown, motel is gone though in a fire many yrs ago. I have lived here since 74 & population was only 10k, now it is 40k. Way to big for me now, but stuck here because of dh's job for now. We still have a lot of salt in our water as I get white...

I like to weed for therapy too. Plus then I feed them to our cows & the ram to supplement the hay(less money for hay then). So therapy & frugality all in one!!

I live in zone 8/9 & I grow beets yr round here. Our summer temps are 115+.

Forgot I bought 4 rhubarb plants at Lowes last night too.

leaf lettuce should be okay too.

My "stock"is too long to list here, but what I have ordered or bought to add to it this yr is: Baker Creek: 1 ea of honeydew, anaheim peppers & tam jalapeno Tomato Bob: 2-bush bean, 4 detroit beets, 4 golden acre cabbage, 4 danvers carrot, 4 boston pickling cukes, 2 kohlrabi, 4 black seeded...

Sorry Anne, but we should be able to start planting everything next week! Outside in the ground.

Remeber that the wall will get hot & add heat to the garden also, so make sure you do not plant heat sensitive plants right next to it.

Try adding compost, manure & a little bit of sand too. That will help improve the soil condition for you. Any livestock manure is considered great to use.

The first yr I grew honeydew it grew towards the fence & climbed it without any problems at all, big melons held just fine. Muskmelon, cukes, pole beans, peas all have done well on trelis for me & save space. Not to mention keep the produce off the ground so less pest problem & cleaner when it...

Can I suggest that you not go huge? If you are new to gardening it can be overwhelming to start with a huge one & if it fails then you can be so discouraged you don't want to try again. Which would be a huge shame. I have been gardening for over 20yrs in the desert(Not an easy task). Go to a...

I have raised beds & then I have rows that I water in the trenches irrigation style. Here once the temps start getting higher if I keep using the sprinkler then my plants get sunburned from the water on the leaves.

I was wondering if a vinegar solution would work as well as a bleach one. We do not use any bleach in our house just vinegar. In fact we buy no chemicals for cleaning at all. I need sandy soil to grow carrots here as we have hard clay like soil here, so I grow mine in a raised bed. Haven't...

I was at Lowes last night & seeds have gone up in price. I needed more beet seeds & noticed the price was higher than last yr. Not a lot per pkg but when you buy multiple pkgs that increase adds up quickly. There were some slots on the display that were already empty, so people are really...

Thanks for the welcome Patch! We have 2 cows also but i think dh is going to sell one at the auction house soon. I am trying to convince him to get a low line jersey for milk, but so far he is not buying my reasoning. So we will see what happens. Getting started on my trees this month I will...

I haven't actually gardened up there yet(we live in the low desert right now). But when we go up there & I can see all the gardens in the yards, I have not seen any shades any where. Nor have I seen wind barriers per say but a lot of people do plant near their houses & I am assuming that is...

If you put rhubarb in an afternoon shaded area it should grow. I am zone 9 & it grows here for us in the afternoon shade.
