I'm the same, I've got a small stack of them ready to go out when I can get into town for stamps. It being birthing season on the farm, I don't get out much right now!

In my experience with using metal halides on aquariums, they put out a lot of heat. I don't know how close to put them for starting plants, but you might want to keep an eye on the heat level.

Hello fellow Arizona gardeners! I'm gardening up in Kingman, in the northwest part of the state. It's a challenge, our soil is awful and our weather has been unpredictable, especially this last spring, we have been getting temperatures anywhere from 15 to 75 within the same week. I've had my...

Wifezilla, this looks like the latest time someone asked for your bok choy, it's a few pages back.

Basically the idea is that instead of tilling up the ground and trying to amend the natural soil to make it good for growing, you build up layers of hay/straw/compost/newspaper/fertilizer/whatever--I've seen different recipes--on top of the ground and plant in that. Kind of like a raised bed...

And the last one was born last night at 8:15 A single, huge girl. :D My husband named her Butter.

Very cute! I like that you put their pictures on there. I was thinking of doing something like that with soap, customizing a flavor to go with each of my milk goats and naming it for them and putting their picture on it.

That is our concern, that they may be Africanized, since they were caught as a wild swarm in Las Vegas. We're going to re-queen if they don't settle down in the spring. I'm also going to have the previous owner of the hive come work them with me one day and see what he thinks of them, he said...

That is what I am doing.

The bees will come over to visit your garden. They travel within a 5 mile area of their hive, so you should see plenty of them.

They might come back. We have that problem here in the desert in Arizona, the August heat kills them off pretty badly, but they make a recovery in late September and put on a second crop of tomatoes.

I'm trying it this year. I saw a page online somewhere about growing them in trash bags...having chickens and goats, I go through a lot of those plastic sacks that feed comes in, so I'm going to try growing my potatoes in those. The idea is that you put drainage holes in the bottom, and a...

Hahaha that is funny!

Hello and welcome! We've got clay here too, clay and rock. I have decided it's not worth it trying to amend this soil, so any new garden space I add is going to be raised beds. I have a 20X30 feet "traditional" style garden, and this year I basically dug out all the soil a foot deep and filled...

I spoke too soon about the sleeping! I woke up a little early this morning in time to deliver these two. Boys again.

Tea can be made from oregano, but it's not a pleasant drink. It's a wonderful antiviral/antibacterial though, if you can stomach it. I can't, so I use oregano essential oil in a capsule, so I don't have to taste it, that stuff BURNS going down! Lemongrass is good, I'd also add horehound as a...

Fortunately I have a few days to catch up on sleep before I go back on round the clock birth watch with the next one! I slept so good last night lol.
