Yes, single digits! Both last winter and this winter we had several days that it was 3* and windy! We estimated the wind speed at about 15 mph, according to our wind chill chart that would make it somewhere below zero. That IS unusual here but it does happen at least once every winter. Most of...

Thanks. I'll do that. I know what you mean I lived a ten min. walk from the beach for almost 25 yrs. Monica

BB- According to those I still am in between 8-11, I know you disagree. We live at 5800ft. our summers average low 90's, winters single digits, now and then minus. We have strong winds more than often. According to sunset with low winter temps and 90* windy summer temps, that puts us in 11...

I have always wanted to grow hostas, but alas, I don't ever seem to have shady spots to plant in. I have wondered if they would do well in the house?? They are such beautiful plants and so many different kinds. We do now have the north side of our house is mostly shady until late afternoon, we...

When we lived in the city, we had burmuda grass and fescu in clay soil. I would SOAK it down for about three to five days depending on how hard it was, I would check it every day. After it was workable DH would till it deep, as deep as the tiller tines would go. We would add amendments, till...

I have used raised beds for years. I love them, don't think I will go back to rows except for vining plant in the field. But what we will have to do different now as opposed to when we aere in the city is; DH will have to use the backhoe to dig down and clear the rock(we have boulders 2-3'...

We finally got a good nursery here. A master 3 gardener was tired of having to go to the city nurseries, so she opened one up! She mostly has native plants but also other plants that will grow here. We have lots of sage for the cotton-tails, jacks, quail, and other little creatures to...

Last Sat. I planted some grass seed in a flat for the only chicken and roo we have left(getting more when new coop is done), DH's big boss gave us 9 tree starters from audibon soc. that she didn't order. DH thinks they are cypress.Don't know if they'll grow up here but will try. Just planted...

As to the fruit trees, maybe they wer only male or only female, or if they needed cross polination and they only had 1 tree of that kind and no one in the area had another then they wouldn't get any fruit. When I lived in the city, other peoples pesticides weren't a problem, no one else around...

sounds good!:tools Monica

We live above Frazier Park at 5800ft. It is hot in the summer, windy, cold and snowy in the winter. Would the wisteria grow up here? I might be interested in the four o clocks also, they are sooo intrusive, but we have 5 acres so maybe if I plant them at the bottom it won't be so bad. I will...

I registered in Jan. then forgot about it. I kept remembering while I was awake in bed, trying to sleep. I finally made it!! Now how will I get any work done between BYC and here??? Monica
