I planted broccoli seedlings last fall in raised beds with really good dirt and they produced beautiful small plants. The plants are still alive and healthy, but just don't seem to be getting bigger or producing..I was thinking of pulling them up...Should I give them more time? I have cabbage...

Wow, thanks for posting that set up!

How did you make your heating units? I'm looking at different ways to avoid buying an actual "starting light". I was crazy inside the house yesterday so I started 8 each of 3 types of vining perennials. Since i was so late to start my (1st ever) garden last year, I'm anxious to get some...

Beautiful! I just bought 4 of those for our yard. From what people tell me (at least in my zone), they grow slowly, but get very large! It seems every little old Southern lady I know has a giant Camelia in her yard..

I'm not actually! There are several Nandina that are there against the gardening shed wall. I have that obelisk sitting there for now until I find a nice place for it.. I'm hoping to spruce this garden shed up at some point. We haven't been in our old house very long, so that's a project for...

That's a pretty rooster! I've heard horror stories about grumpy roosters, so I'm sure that would be the deal breaker. Ours is very good to the hens and has been fine with us, too, so that probably sways my opinion.

I'm in my first year of having chickens and have a very diverse flock of 30. (about half of them being young pullets and cockerals that I hatched a few months ago). I have a couple of Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Easter Eggers, Rhode Island White, a Polish, White Leghorns and several backyard...

vfem, good to know about The Garden Hut. I've checked them out online several times! I will email them to see what they have! Thanks everyone!

Thanks so much for the ideas and suggestions. The reason for ordering is that I haven't found any climbing roses at the nurseries I've been to! None of them are very close to our town and it becomes quite a drive to find out that they don't have anything..I do, however, sit in front of a...

Also, my husband just built a garden arbor and I'm thinking of different things that might climb and stay pretty all year here in zone 7..Climbing roses were considered there, too, but can anyone suggest other things that may "fill in" relatively quickly and stay through the winter? I'm...

I was looking through a catalog from Burgess, but after reading reviews of them I think I'll stay away! I have a rose garden, though, with some empty space that is backed by a wall. I'd like to try some climbing roses there. Has anyone had any luck with ordering these (or other started plants)...

I bought some Amaryllis bulbs at Home Depot on clearance before Christmas. You know the kind that comes in a kit as a gift? Well, several of the bulbs had shoots that burst our of the boxes, so they were marked way down. I potted them and gave them away, keeping one for myself. So this one I...

All three of us at the fair last year: My husband with his catch while visiting family in Brazil: Our son, Mateus Us dancing at a Halloween party last year:

I love it! If your local mexican restaurant doesn't have the soup, they often have shrimp cocktail (coctel de camarones) that is very similar. Traditionally spooned onto crackers, you could also eat it as a soup if you wanted! I wish I had those kinds of neighbors!

I would be so proud of that!!! Beautiful!

Great idea!!!

Wow! I would be over the moon with that kind of success!!

Also, since I'm bragging, I need to show off this egg that i got on Wednesday!

Thanks, everyone. He's 4 years old as well, and I selfishly wish I could keep him that age forever! hoodat, no, we actually speak Portuguese. Since my mother in law went back to Brazil, though, my son is losing more and more of it. We tend to speak English at home. However, my husband's 11...

I just wanted to report back that I received my order of seeds from Sample Seeds and was really impressed. They were shipped quickly, labeled clearly and they added a couple of freebies, too! The seeds look healthy and the shipping ran less than $4.00 for about 35 packs of seeds..My order came...
