Yes,it does look like the sago.Atleast ones I saw growing in a pot.I was sent a picture of my in-laws grown one.Mine is still alive though I should get it in some better soil.

I started adding it to my front yard bed that I put together this year.I am glad I did not buy mulch. Just wish I had lots more to use this season!

So pretty, I want to grow some!

You might need shade covering to protect the seedlings.Other than that and lots of water you are good to go! I always grow stuff late.Never get corn in early and even so my late plantings get 7 or 8 feet tall.If I grew early they would top off at 15 feet!

I have my 2 grape plants in a truck tire or truck rim,and I water those atleast twice a week.Sometimes I add some liquid fertilizer. I have one just in the ground by my fence,and water that once a weekl. I bought 2 or 3 grape plants this spring and I think all but one died.The soil was not...

Oh how lucky you are! I am getting a pickling book from the library,but nothing in the yard to pickle,can,or jam!

Anyone use the pine shaving/chicken poo bedding in the garden? I was flipping over the stuff to let the chickens get at the worms,and I thought it looked like good stuff for mulching in beds. I have not added fresh poo to that pile for atleast 4 months. It has soil mixed in and looks nutrient...

Very nice! Hope nothing eats it.

My dh loves little eggplants. I core them and stuff with a meat mixture.Better to be small than an over ripe huge one.Some plants get bitter as they get too big.

I never had to stake mine. I just waited till the fruits were bursting from those papery sacks.Wash them off and they are good to go. I gave all my seeds to my mom so I have none this year. I really enjoyed eating them fresh.Did you get green or purple? I had green. Watch those chickens.They...

Looks like I have a year to research until I can order.Checking out garden watchdog.

My BIL sent me this bulb last fall.I gave 2 to my mom,and my thrid one has finally come to life.Very exciting.I hear it is an expensive plant.I forget the name,but the plant has been around for a super long time. Anyone know the name? I thought it was a century plant,but all those(varying) do...

I just noticed the bugs yesterday. I have no luck when it comes to getting soil or mulch. I have gotten ants,larve of something,and now these box elder bugs. I tried to get the chickens to eat them but they just stared at them. I think today I will put them into water for the hens.That is how...

Try some fast growing asian greens. Also ground cherries grow fast. Swish chard and kale.Radish and beets.

I found our nest of blue birds dead in the nestbox. I was soooo sad,but then in the other box the yesterday I found a new beginning....

I hate paying for water. My ideal is atleast 1 rainy day a week,and then use the water in the garbage cans(under down spouts) to water another few days before the skeeters hatch.

Thanks everyone! Yes, making that simple box made me want to build more. I am hoping to try my hand at a chicken coop by fall! For now a few more boxes will be made.

Does anyone have pictures of the eggs of the four lined plant bug? I have read it is deposited in woody stems of host plants.In my case the spearmint plant,but they are attacking my flower plants now as well.Going on year 3 of these bugs. I am thinking if I cout All plants to the ground in the...

Just an update on my cart. I don't like it. Wish I could get a wheelbarrel. Will ask dh to load one on top of his van. The cart can not hold any soil at all without being so akward to move. I end up lugging soil in 5 gallon buckets.

I got it from my BIL in Turkey. Grew from a bulb.Waiting to hear from BIL on the name.
