Personnally, nuts are highly overrated. It's the backbone that counts! Here is a pic of a Black Walnut tree: It's leaves: It's bark:

I have a neighbor who swears by jars filled with water set around the perimeter of the garden. Something about the reflection with the water. Or you could try planting marigolds. Some people also plant 3 inches of lettuce around their garden on the theroy that by the time the rabbits get...

I use splenda for jams. Just use the no sugar sure jell. They have the reciepes inside the box. My folks are both diabetic and I make it for them. I also use the invertion method for jams.

They both are great sites!

Hi tricia, I hope your weather there isn't to bad. It's really, really wet here with the ground saturated. Can't get into the fields as it's to wet.

Some trees bloom heavy one year and then will have fewer blooms the following year.

Good job with the neighbor kids. It is sad that kids in the cities don't even realize where their food actually comes from.

I use grass clippings! They do wonderful when applied several inches thick. As for leaving them on the lawn, sometimes the mowing gets away and it is best to clean it off the lawn than stress the mower out the next time. My lawn doesn't need any fertilizer or mulching either! Darn thing grows...

It kind of looks like the "hitch hiker" plants we get here. If that is what it is they will get taller and they will get little balls on them with quills sticking out. If that turns out to be what it is kill it ASAP or it will spread.

I saw corn started in the one greenhouse I was in a few days ago! I've never seen that before! With your container garden you may have to water twice a day. The product I was thinking of is called SOIL MOIST. It is They are little granulars that soak up the water and slowly release it. I've...

They make a granular product that absorbs water and slowly lets it back out. It works great in containers and planters. I can't think of the name of it but, it comes in small packets or a small container of it.

A good frost on the ground this morning! Who said we have Global warming?

I have heavy clay soil here. Compost works great! I'm adding a new section this year and the difference between it and the old section is huge!

Our greenhouses don't open until the beginning of May at the earliest here-for a reason. Right now it is to wet to even till the garden. I'm hoping the rain they are calling for tomorrow skips us and the rest of the week looks clear. Then maybe I can manage to till. I doubt that I will be able...

It's still growing in the pot. Our weather is colder than normal here and it's so wet that the ducks and geese are having no problems finding water. Oh, how I long to get out in the garden! It was cold enough this morning to freeze things. :barnie

Neat photo and great find. Keep us posted on how it does. :)

I plant marigolds by mine.

I use marigolds! The deer are in the yard and field right around the garden but not the garden.

For those without an incubator an eletric skillet can be set at 100 degrees too!
