I have a black walnut tree in my back yard, it's 1/2 over my lot 1/2 over the lady next door. The lady next door is really into gardening, and she told me the Black Walnut tree will kill almost anything you plant under it. Is this true? She said the Walnut tree was the reason her peach tree...

haha you can't see it but on the end of my drive way I have a bunch of pots and containers full of strawberries and blue berry bush and herbs. I made the raised bed this year cus the soil in that spot sucks, but it's my only sunny spot in my whole yard.

How do you cage your tomatos? do you use cages wire ?? Can I see some pictures? I'm growing 12 tomato plants this year.

I use a square tomato cage that I folded out to be a zig-zag line. It's kind of hard to see in the picture. They look alittle sad and sorry in this picture but they came back (it was after a cold night)

I was just curious how many people on here start their veggie and herbs from seed and how many buy the little plants later in the season?? This year was my first year trying to do it by seed and I was a little saddened by the results. I'm not sure what I did wrong but my eggplants never got...

Be ware with the mint, it will easy take over as much land and lawn as it possibly can. If this doesn't bother you, then go with it. I have wild mint growing in my lawn and I love it, when I cut the lawn it smells so yummy. Plus I don't think mint will hurt the chickens. I to was trying to...

I want to place a garden bed in the middle of my back yard. A little island of perenials and such. I currently have one Rose and Sharin bush I would like to in corperate into the garden bed island. My back yard gets a great deal of shade most of the day, with spots of part sun. (it's not to...

funny thing is as soon as I learned about them I thought the same thing. I was like "how can I make these....hmm I'll need a pottery wheel! " Has anyone found any other places that sell them other the just the urban home stead? I was looking some a place closer as to not pay so much shipping...

Go ahead I think everyone should have a little herb garden in on there patio or porch :) Thanks for the ideas.

I want to make useful planters for people to give as gifts (and to decorate my back porch) I also want them to look pretty. What useful/edible plants could I plant in small planters. I'm thinking herbs that flower or edible flowers, things like that. Thank you.

Does any one on here use the Olla pots (clay unglazed pots) to help water their plants. I first read about them on the http://urbanhomestead.org/ website. They look very interesting. I just wonder if anyone has used them, do you like them. I was thinking of using them for my tomatoes.

The reason I have room for containers and not a bed, is that my cement drive way gets all the sun. I can't make a plant bed on the drive way, but I can put containers on the drive way. See all my wonderful sun is wasted of a drive way. And I can't just get rid of the drive way cus we do us it...

Thanks Tomatoes&Things What type of blue berries have you grown? Which would you recommend? Will I need to prune them yearly? Thank you so much

I can not plant them next to the drive way cus my own soil isn't very acidic and next to the drive way doesn't get as much sun and the part that does...is where my raised bed garden is. I've seen wild blue berries growing in Canada, it gets colder there then here. Don't they just go dormant...

I want to grow some blue berries, but like I said earlier I don't have alot of sun around my yard. But my loving boyfriend pointed something wonderful out to me yesterday. We get a LOT of sun on the drive way ALL day. So my new plan is to grow some of the things I couldn't fit into my raised bed...

Thank you so much guys! I probly should have said I'm in zone 5. I think I'll try some of these. :-) I have mint growing my grass right now, it came with the house...at least it smells good with I mow the lawn...right :-)

Are there any fruits, veggies or anything edible that likes shade/ part shade. I only have a very small amount of yard that gets full sun all day and I have a 11ft by 5ft raised bed veggie garden in that stop, butI would like to grow more things around the yard. I'm thinking of growing...
