    A Seed Saver's Garden

    you will need fences if there are deer around. and chipmunks love raiding the seeds/seedlings. once they know you grow them... just a warning from experience.

    Water for Your Garden

    @SPedigrees no, the last bits of lawn left are around the outside edges of all the gardens and decorations and i rarely water anything that far away (including the lawn itself - we get enough rains and if we don't i let it go dormant).

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    i did get the onions lifted yesterday and dried off a bit and then the dirt wiped off before putting into some boxes and brought into the garage. i'll need to rotate them at least once a day so they can properly cure without rotting - i don't have any place to hang them. they look so much...

    Garden humor thread..

    at one time i was walking along a trail in the local park that is mostly forest and there were some wild roses growing along the edge with these beautiful big rose hips. so i picked some and brought them home and put them in a small bottle. not too long after that there were all sort of bugs...

    Water for Your Garden

    we're used to leaving the hoses on the ground. i'm surprised we don't trip over them more often than we do. i always am looking where they are at since they can be moved. this year we have put some new lightweight flexible hoses on the front faucet for Mom to use since the long hose from the...

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    looks like tomorrow will be a good day to get the onions harvested since there are rains in the forecast the next day and a bit. they look pretty good this year. i hope i can keep them that ways through this process. they are not as big of onions as i'd hoped for but they're not tiny either...

    How do you water your plants?

    i once had an automatic fish feeder. i made sure it was set up and tested before i went away for a few weeks and asked a friend to watch the tank to make sure it didn't get too low on water. came home to fish tank about half empty, the water was pea green and all the fish food was gone (it...

    2025 Little Easy Bean Network - Growers Of The Future Will Be Glad We Saved

    i've been worried that the bunny rampages in the fenced gardens meant that the network beans weren't going to produce anything but so far i have some seeds from four of the five beans picked (with more pods filled but still too green for me to want to pick them) and hope that the one that is...
