I wish everyone on TEG forum a Happy New Year- may you all have just the right amount of sun, rain, and honeybees to make your gardens grow! :watering

That is great. My husband wants us to give strawberries a try. In my area we have several u-pick farms for the strawberries, I notice that they always plant the plants in rows of plastic so the leaves and berries will not be touching the ground. I think I would use straw...I don't know..but...

Epsom Salt....magnesuim sulfate! I remember years ago my Grandfather had the most beautifully healthy pansies that where just loaded with blooms. I asked him what his secret was and he told me Epsom salt. I planted some pansies last week and today I got around to watering them down with a...

Bad kitty! Bad! I had rooted a forcynthia bush and noticed one of my kitties broke it off below the leafy areas today. Not a leaf left on mine either. I'm going to hold on to mine to see what happens. Watch the areas right at the leaf nodes and see if you see some growth there in a few...

Obsessed, you really don't have a chicken??? I can fix that for you. (You know that Nifty wants a chicken in every backyard!!) That is Malik (Ma-leek) my Serama and he makes purdy golden babies not much larger than a quarter that makes a great gardening tool. They forage around to ariate the...

:love Nothing like going out and collecting your own garlic!! :love When I harvest I just break some of the cloves apart and plant them back into the soil for the next batch!! Works for me.

Poke salad. Yep, Rosalind is right. Everywhere here. You have to disgard all the root system or it will come back next Spring. Years ago everyone had to eat some every Spring....it will give you "a good cleaning out" or nowdays it is known as a colon cleansing. Young tender shoots were...

It's the green one. J.D. is his name and you should see me ride him down the road with my flashers on!!

:yuckyuck I've tried the beer traps....a long time ago. I don't remember why I gave it up...I more than likely didn't do it right or something. This year we will try it again. Seem like your suppose to put it in a tuna can...dig it down where the lip of the can is level to the ground...does...

And to think that I'm still thinking about the post that Beav. put up about Wonderberries. Now you guys....(wait, from Alabama)..ya'll really got me going with these strange, unheard of fruits and veggies. Surely there is something odd I grow down here. Nope, can't think of a thing.

And then to the Chicken Coop!!!! I could know the relative humidity in the coop!!! Oh, and my potting shed....you so got me thinking.

:woot That is sooo neat!!! I am so glad you shared that with us! Crazy me would be so obsessed with that I would be moving it to every window and room in the house....and then..to the OUTSIDE!!

I hate slugs. I love hosta. The two do not go hand in hand together. Now, I can live with a few on my petunias, but I collect hosta from all over the U.S. and I can't show off hostas with holes eatten away on the leaves!! Sooo, when it gets late at night after a rain, the kids and I go slug...
