What about those of use who have the steaming hot compost piles?

Thank You for the link. I now see a whole bunch of them forming.

I am gonna have to try those bush varieties myself. I want to do purple hull peas next year as well. Which side of town are you at anyways? I am in between Humble and Houston out by the lake.

Ha, they turned out to be flowers.

I am gonna hafta try those myself. As for the watermelon wine, I have not made watermelon wine before. Watermelon wine is supposed to be difficult to make due to spoilage. I have hunted for, found, and bought a special yeast that is supposed to work well with a cooler tempature. I plan on...

Maybe what I am thinking is going to be a bean is really going to be a flower. This is my first year gardening. I dont even know what the green bean is going to look like growing on the vine.

Thank You very much for the information and the response. Mjd

I have 2 large piles of horse manure. They are about 3 feet tall and about 5 foot at its base. I want it to heat up. Its getting hot here in Houston now. I went out and watered them both. One pile has some chicken droppings and hay in it. This is the pile I intend to use next spring. How often...

Sorry to hear about your hail storm. Those can be destructive.

I build bird houses and garden furniture. I use the same material to build little tomato trelisis (sp?). Dont cost me any money at all as I use reclaimed privacy fence. Well, I guess there is the cost of the nails.

I managed to pollenate two female flowers this morning. Will try more as they open.
