I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! :hugs Sorry, my dismal 2025 gardening Beats yours!! :lol: (Go to my thread...) Still, I have learned SO MUCH about container gardening this year, by accident. Our weather has been Garden LOUSY, 2 years in a row--yours probably, too, so it's not a loss.

So...with somewhat limited energy, I chopped up one full tray of garlic slices and that big jalepano in a previous picture on another tray. I MEANT to fill the 6 trays of the dehydrator, but couldn't, so I left the glass doors open. Last night I thought, What the hay? and started it up for 6...

I read a few pages back regarding poison ivy. Here is my go to, and for $2/bar it's a very good deal. The directions say to lather up and LEAVE.ON. Me and DD's each keep a bar of this in a travel soap container and we Swear by it for poison ivy and other weed rashes, when you forget to cover up...

A few years ago the group of 4 of us had a planned excursion after our Alaska cruise to visit Mt. Rainier. We laid over one day in Seattle before flying back. We (3) have gone to the Colorado Rockies SO many times and we know the topography. Imagine our surprise--All winding roads weaving...

I have the @heirloomgal pea Seal of Approval!! :woot:woot:woot

Yes, I did sprout (direct seeded) a handful of sugar snap peas this Spring. Gosh they were great right off of the vine! Our Springs are So inconsistent--I think I will use distilled water jugs--I have at least 20 downstairs right now!--and start them early in those for next Spring. I think that...

For your consideration, or just to admire, an 8 inch Jalapeño Grande! It grew in my whiskey barrel planter in front of the house, first year container gardening.

@heirloomgirl, the seeds that I planted Were smooth. I also planted some sugar snap peas about 10 ft away. Do you think that they cross pollinated?

While I await @flowerbug's answer, I am proud to say that I had a small harvest--a Jalapeño!! Pretty near 9 inches long, from one of the whiskey barrel planter peppers. Dunno how I missed this since I have been pulling grasses and weeds out of this planter, BUT I kept looking at one of the...

So, you might agree that my plan for planting both types of garlic in 2025, which is after my 8 weeks of bone healing, around September 4th, would be okay? I want to feel safe pushing my foot down on a shovel, you see.
