So, my husband wants to take my potted Asiatic lily and plant it in the ground. Normally I would be all for that!! This time.... not so much! I can SEE the bloom buds forming, and we're probably.... 2-3 weeks (?) before blooming. I told him that it would be a bad idea to transplant them right...

So, we've had this mulberry bush (tree?) for a few years.I think we put it in the ground in spring 2010. We used a fertilizer spike on all the trees this year. Out Apple trees have already leafed out, and have fruit that have started to set. The mulberry on the other hand.... hasn't done...

So, we ARE tearing out the boxwood shrubs out front (i think that's what they are!), but I have a question about that. If we simply cut them off art the ground will they come back? I'm not sure how we would actually get them OUT. They've been in there since the house was put in and I'm afraid...

So... remember how we planted early?? Well, we covered the tomatoes really well... but some neighbor kids were traipsing about egging houses and tore down the sheeting over the tomatoes... and lost them. We didn't cover the cauliflower, broccoli, or brussel sprouts and lost them too!? What the...

Okay, so, I have a small-ish space that I want to put roses in in the garden. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but I'm going to guess around 5x8?? maybe a bit smaller. I would like BEAUTIFUL roses! That smell good... and are pretty... and will attract bees and beneficial bugs... and I...

So, in my flower bed that's beside my steps, I planted some daffodils and irises (I THINK they're irises! I'm not remembering 100%) Well, I'm going to put some boarder around the flowers, but some of the irises have grown past the point where I want them to. Do you think I'd be okay to split...

Do you guys think it would be possible to make a wattle fence out of bamboo? I'm been googling it, but I can't seem to find anything.

We planted our tomatoes! The 10 day forecast is saying above freezing every night, but we do have things to cover them with if needed. They were growing over the top of our lights and they were beginning to get a little leggy too. I sure hope we didn't screw up by putting them in this early!

Free I <3 Soil sticker :-)

What IS this? it's growing around my daffodil!

So, I was looking for some of my garden tools today and I found 3 packs of flower bulbs that we bought on clearance and forgot to plant! They're completely dry now. Do you think if I planted them they would come back this year?

So.. we took the plunge into potted lemon trees. Hubby bought a potted seedling, maybe a year old, from a woman at our local farmers market a couple of years ago. It's doing okay, not real bushy or anything, still hasn't flowered so no fruit as of this year. Well, I was watching a video on...

Hey guys! I know I know.... I need to check in more! I'm a bad TEGer!! I'm back tho! I promise!! (At least for now!! LOL)

So, last year we put in some asparagus crowns. It said that this year we could harvest sparingly. How do you know what "sparingly" is? If you don't harvest it, it goes to seed, so what are you supposed to do with it??

So, today I was having some gravel dumped for our chicken runs to keep them from getting so nasty. Well, hubby went off to get the $$ for the gravel and wasn't home when he got here, and I was working, so, he backed into the yard on his own and was going to dump it... but.... He backed right...

So, I've been gone a long time! Bad me! I know! I need to have a switch taken to me!! ;) So, I'll catch you all up!! I got a job with vfem! Best job ever btw! We did finally end up getting rabbits. We have a buck and 3 does. We have Barney, Nora, Lilly, and Monster. I'm REALLY wanting to get...

So... we had bred our rabbit Robin to Barney, and she was due to kindle her first litter last night. Well, yesterday we moved her into a new cage with a next box and all the things that she was going to need to kindle and raise babies for the next 8 weeks. I was so certain that last night was...

So, I was just wondering, can you plant onions and garlic together in the same bed? We've already got our garden MOSTLY planted for this year, but, I'm trying to plan for expansion for the garden this year (hopefully), and I was thinking along one side I could plant garlic, onions, and...

Yes yes... I'm sorry... I kinda stink at keeping up with things sometimes!! ;-) So... new things around here... hmmmmmmmmmmm Got the bunnies outside! (Sorry Marshall.. we traded you for a doe we named Nora. ;) Our next Buck will be Marshall tho!) I'm already planning on going BACK up north to...
