I planted my garlic pretty late (I had no idea I needed to plant so early...now I do!)...well it started to go to seed (or flower) so I pulled one up and it looked pretty good (especially considering I didnt think it would do anything since I planted it so late!). Do I have to pull them up when...

Im so excitted about this! I just planted a bunch of sunflowers so I can dry them for the chickens. I got an heirloom dwarf variety and then a standard tall variety. Thank you guys for this suggestion!

wonderful! Im very excitted because we have parts of our garden that barely get 8 hours and I thought that they were on the borderline for full sun...but i guess they have plenty :) We have a couple trees in our back yard that are shading part of the garden and we were afraid we would have to...

Wow seriously? I thought most of these needed 8 hours minimum...that Is excitting! What is "full sun" anyway...8 hours?

Here is a picture of my A frame swing set. It is 12' wide 9' tall and 8.5' deep. It even has hooks on the top bar from the swings so I can have hanging plants :) I found 6mil plastic at the hardware store 10'x100' for $50, its a little pricey, but I figure it will cover it several times so 1...

I have saw a couple mice take off running out of my compost area when I went to turn it last time. I do not want to use poison, what are some other options? I have chickens that I dont want eating a poisoned mouse as well as dogs, goats, & children that I dont want bumping across the poison. I...
