I love fresh raw veggies of all kinds..When my kids were little they would NOT eat any veggie that was cooked. I could serve peas, snap beans, corn, turnips, greens, potatoes and even okra raw to them and they would gobble it down....let me put cooked veggies on their plant and you would think I...

Yes. If planted too deep they will not bloom. We have red clay and I dug a big bunch of iris at my old house when I arrived at the new house it was raining. I cut the tops off dropped the iris beside a tree and forgot about them.. It rained for several days--when I finally thought about them, I...

I have a dozen Muscadine grapes and 2 Concords and I prune them after Thanksgiving. I pruned the Concords just like the Muscadines and they did very well. I pruned them at about 80%. We have a terrible time with Japanese Beetles so I have traps out now..they really work..Good luck..

I love it ! thanks for sharing...Dixie

flower gardening came first...Growing up we moved alot but I could always have a window box or a container with flowers. Next came a veggie garden-container also..then I married a farm boy who loved to plant, grow veggies and had all the farm equip. to make a REAL garden. I learned tons from...

1. Not knowing anything about old rose var., but dug up one in the deep woods of our farm. It was beautiful, smelled delicious and since no one had lived in that area for over 150yrs and the rose was everywhere..we have no idea how old it was.. Placed in the yard and After it was settled...

I know many people don't think you should purchase fruit trees from Lowes, Home Depot etc.. but ours has really nice var., healthy plants and the cost is good. I purchased 4 different plants, 12yrs ago (before I was told it was a no-no) , from Lowe's and every one has lived, produced and has...

I find it funny, that people actually purchase Trumpet vine, Passion plant, Morning Glory seeds and Cross vine! The Trumpet Vines are growing wild thru my woods, up the pines. The Passion plants (what we in the south call May=pops) have taken over the pasture and half my yard. Morning Glories...

I wonder if I could just use the cardboard and mulch around my fruit trees, berry bushes?? We have that lovely crabgrass that seems to take over everything in the orchard/vineyard..

After taking rose cuttings--how long before they should have roots--weeks, months??Thanks Dxie

zone 7, not so great sandy loam, most get bright sun for approx. 5 hrs a day. Each var. is pruned differently according to directions-the ones that bloom on new wood is pruned in the fall.. the ones that bloom on last yr. wood is pruned after they bloom.. I have always fert. with Miracle Gro...

I need suggestions /ideas on getting mine to bloom! In 2005, I planted a doz. different var. thru out my yard.. Some are still tiny, some are large, lush and bright green but only the Annebella var. has bloomed. I have pruned (or not )each var. when suggested. And still no blooms. Most are...

Pat, was this lady a landscaper/gardener? How can any adult who has been told TWICE not get the message?? I would be very angry...Dixie

I also pick my squash when young and tender. It can/will get too large overnight- :D -If I am going to miss a day of picking, I will pick it smaller rather than waiting!

Don't know how these will do in your zone but: Lady Banks rose or the Seven Sisters rose

I see a rambling rose on the end of your porch growing on lattice, choose on that is very fragrant. Since you have grey siding --choose one that is hot pink. In front of your house you should use dwarf or very low growing plants that will not block you beautiful porch. There are lots of nice...
