Yes, you got it, and the OP aready confirmed for you. :) You're welcome. I love learning these things and then teaching them to someone else. I'm always amazed by how much I'v learned in the past year! Happy gardening! :tools

I'll bring the cheese! I want to whine about how sore I am, too! :lol: I did the exact same: weeding, transplanting, lawn-mowing AND I edged the entire front yard. All. Day. Long. Wish I had some chickens to help! :tools :watering

Hurray! Can't wait to see the pics. :D

If I were up where you live, I'd dig them up. You can always dig almost all of them up and just leave a few to "test" for the following year. That way you know if they'll make it through the winter and you can plan accordingly. I'm adding dahlias to my list (getting longer and longer) for next...

Chills, the reason I started hand pollinating was because I didn't see s single pollinating insect around and all my female flowers were dying. So I took it upon myself to pollinate them. Now that the bees have made an appearance, I haven't had to pollinate and I am knee-deep in zucchinis...

The male flowers are on a simple stalk. The female flowers have a "mini-zucchini" behind the flower. It's the part that starts growing into the fruit once fertilization has occured. Hope that makes sense. ETA: Found these images: (Male left, female right) (Female) From this website...

Yes! I can't believe how stuff grows here. I mean, I put it in the ground and forget it, really. I mean, yes, I have to deal with pest control and watering, but for the most part, I don't have issues with the climate that some people have. You sister MUST garden! :clap Getting a side of beef...

I bet you could fry a cherry tomato if you tried. We didn't get any red tomatoes off our big plant last year (bugs and birds always got them first), so we just started picking them green - we had friend green tomatoes ALL. THE. TIME. We even took a big load up to Long Island, NY, when we went to...

:welcome from SC. I was going to say the same thing as Vfem... but I was intruiged so I did a search. Is this the style you're looking for? I'm not sure where one could buy them cheaper. I hope someone else knows! When you get a chance, post some pictures of you garden! :clap

Yes, we started earlier than usual this year, I had one teeny frost I had to protect against, I covered everything in sheets and it made it through. We had unbelievable amounts of eggplant last year, all the way into late, late Fall! This week everything has been growing in double-time, we got...

Wow, great garden! I like the flow, and those strawberries, oh man! I'm might be over later to pick some! :drool

Ooooooh, you went for the liner! I like it! I agree with vfem, I think you just need to get to the point where it is filled in with rocks and plants and it will come together. I remember my mom's cousin building a huuuuuge pond, and it was just a big hole with some gravel around it, it looked...

Hey, we're neighbors! (kind of) Just wanted to say hi. I already contributed to the other thread about squash failure. My squash and zukes are doing much better.

Pesto pasta with homegrown eggplant, yellow squash and zucchini. Pesto made from homegrown basil, of course. It was soooooo good! Tomorrow we're having green beans, more eggplant and more zucchini! AND I think I might have my first red cherry tomato tomorrow. Yes, just one. The others are...

Yes, it is a pecan tree! Actually, two of them! We love them! We didn't know what they were when we bought the house until the squirrels started dropping pecans on us. The first year hubby made a pecan pie from all those nuts. It took forever to shell them. :) I don't know if my vine will have...

I did a search on Google and YouTube and looked at other people's designs, then I picked the one I like best and made my own plan. Things you need are: A food grade 55 gallon barrel - or a large trash can with lid. A downspout diverter or flexible downspout that goes into your barrel. A hole...

Are they pretty easy to raise from seed? I have a horrible track record with seedlings... :/ If you think you can trust me with some ;) I'll send you a SASE if you PM me.

I'm in zone 8. I have lantana in my front bed. This is its third year and it just keeps getting bigger. It dies back in the winter and then comes back full force. This picture was taken a month or so ago - it's even bigger now! My bed gets full sun, but I've had lantanas in shadier areas and...

:woot I just installed mine a few weeks ago. Made it all by myself without anyone's help. I'm so very proud. I bought all the parts myself, too. It took me forever to get everything together, but it was so worth it. My next project is an overflow barrel. I think by now I could have filled at...
