    Vermiculture question

    In my small worm bins I move all 'muck' over to one end and put new fresh wet paper and compost yummies on the other end and wait a couple day-the worms move over to the 'fresh' side and I harvest the poop...eewww! Works great! But when I'm in a hurry I do the scoop and pluck method too.

    do we have a plant propagation/breeding section?(Daylily question too)

    I have that same daylily and have been wondering the same thing so...this year I tried an experiment with two other daylilies in my yard. I tried to pollinate my Rhinestone Kid and my 'something something pink' with the Kwanso. Both put on seeds which is hopeful-but are probably a mistake. I am...

    Has anybody purchased Paeonia 'Bartzella' yet? *pic*

    Thanks Pat, I know what you mean about the sulking thing but I like to go for some plants that aren't in everybodies yard yet. And I was thinking that if it preforms anywhere near as well as reported in online forums, or as well as my shrub peonies that have been growing in the same spot for 80+...

    I love coleus.

    I especially like the dark marbled leaf ones. I know your not suppose to let them go to flower, but I do-I like the little purple blooms too, and since their only annuals here, I figure 'whats the difference?" I get free seedlings every year from a local nursery, so I plant them in amongst my...

    Green Tomatoes

    I'd sit them in the window sill behind my kitchen sick-I've ripened several this way over the years. Do not refrigerate them or they wont ripen. Also I've read about putting them in a paper sack with an apple I think it is...but can't remember that way. Just yesterday a fellow gave me a bunch of...

    Anyone here do vermicomposting?

    I get my red wigglers from the local bait and tackle shop. Their so cheap-it amazing. I read there are 2 types of worms that will work best: The two types of earthworm best suited to worm composting are the redworms: Eisenia foetida (commonly known as red wiggler, brandling, or manure worm)...

    Flower & young tree what are they??

    I agree with copycat(hehehe that's funny) about the Campanula. The first picture is difficult to make out much detail. It would help to see it from a different angle, and a leaf by it's self maybe. Perhaps you could take a sample in to your county extension office and see if they can help.

    Josephs coat climbing rose

    oooo, I've got one on order from Gurneys, I think it was. They had a web special that was 3 roses for 19.99 Joesph's coat is one of them. I love the orange/pink color of it. I've found on my other roses, that once I dead head the expired blooms, they will often rebud and bloom. Just a thought.
