Mmmm, I'm going to make a cup of tea right now! I have anise hyssop growing wild along my garage and in the cracks in the driveway. I have no idea where it came from to begin with but I'm happy to have it stay!

Okay, so I'm more than a day early but I couldn't resist. I will be spending tomorrow evening at home with my husband and our 5 1/2 year old son. I am going to make lasagna from scratch which I usually do New Year's Day. This year we are going to my parents on Jan 1 so I'm making it for...

I love Kousa dogwoods! We gave my dad one for Father's Day years ago and when they moved he wasn't happy to leave it behind. I don't think it was producing seedlings yet. He does have lilacs that were taken from the bush that grew on his grandparents' farm when he was a kid. (He's about to turn...

You have grass?! I'm envious! I have lawn violets, dandelions, clover and moss.

Not sure of the exact size. My veggie garden is on the south side of our garage. It is a slope that was impossible to mow so my hubbie terraced it. I have 4 plots that are roughly 10 feet long and 2 feet wide. There could be 4 more that size but they are shaded by tall trees on our neighbors'...

I like to grow Romas too.

Cool~thanks for the link Nifty. I bookmarked it to go back to over and over!

This was inspired by the Early Girl discussions. I have been planting Brandywines for a number of years now. I just love their flavor!

One of my New Year's goals will be to be as much of a "locavore" as possible. not sure of my spelling but I did just read that the word has just been added to the dictionary.

A few weeks ago I planted paper whites for my kitchen table. Does that count? :P Looks like they'll be in bloom for Christmas. We had freezing rain all night and light snow and rain all day. On top of the foot of snow we got last week. I could maybe plant icicles. Meanwhile I'll have to enjoy...

The Fontanini Nativity figures have a set of barnyard birds! Chickens included. :D:cool:

If it works let me know. Some years I do a lot more planning than planting!!

Same here but I'm pretty new on BYC and my name really wasn't chosen because of chickens! And I don't have a picture anyway. :P Looking forward to getting to know everyone in both places.

Okay, that beats my silver spray paint by a mile!

:lol: I did Santa gourds as gifts one year. They were really cute! If all else fails just shoot 'em with gold spray paint??? (Sorry, not Martha!)

Have fun!!! I usually spend New Year's Day with my seed catalogs and my dreams!

I get my love of the garden from my maternal grandfather. He was of Dutch ancestry and used many old time ways. The smell of warm soil and drying herbs brings back strong memories. His garden filled the backyard. He had grape vines and asparagus and strawberries. among many other veggies. He...

I usually use Cook's and Johnny's too.

Now I'm imagining zucchinis the size of baseball bats taking over the yard!!! :lol:

Hi from Connecticut! I'm newish too. I love love love love love Irish Wolfhounds!!! We have a lab/doberman X, an Australian Shepherd and a pug. My vegetable garden has to be fenced in partly because of the chickens, but mostly because of the pug. He eats tomatoes off the vine! Our first pug did...
