I haven't posted in a while, and this is a bit belated, but here is mine. The paint job was done by spraying a base coat, then holding up various leaves and spraying over them. IMO it would have looked much better in green hues, but I already had black and blue and no money to buy green paint...

Oh, LOL! I didn't mean it like THAT! Sometimes I really need to reread before I post. (sigh) :hu Anyways, Vfem, I'll send you postage this fall if you want to send some bulbs that you haven't transplanted. OR we could meet at the NC farmer's market the next time I am in town. My friend is...

Thanks Augustmom! :D I really enjoy sharing my garden with everyone out there - but ever since summer hit I haven't been good about updating the blog! Today I chose to go out on our boat rather than take pictures! I really need to get an update, as some things came back and some others died...

Cool! I had a tomato growing out of my pile! I had to transplant it, but I hope it comes back. I'm sure you'll get some great pumpkins!

Great info, thanks! We don't have BJ's here, but now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure Costco sells tulips in the Fall... I think! Thanks for jogging my memory. I'm off to investigate Parkseed as well!

Ahem. I think I know someone who lives in a zone hotter than you. ;)

I'm with ya, except mine died from too much water (I'm assuming you're in a drought?). I am replanting some stuff and chalking it up as a mistake to learn from! :) If you haven't done it yet, write your thoughts down somewhere. I've found it's easier to "get it right" the next time around when...

Sweet! That's the one! Delfino! Thanks, Hattie! :weee I was also reading about planting it in the ground and just letting it reseed itself. I think I will sow the current seads in a flower bed and see what happens. :hu If anyone wants to get some (slow-to-bolt!) Delfino Cilantro, here's a...

I know, I asked before realizing that I may have sounded too snobby for a farmer's market :lol: ;) but was pleasantly surprised that she could spit it right out at me! Wow! Didn't help me much since I forgot the name though... Many vendors up there are knowledgeable about the stuff they're...

I want to get some tulip bulbs this Fall. I've never done tulips before, but the school I used to work at had the students plant some each Fall - and I figure if they can do it, I can, too! A good friend of mine is afraid to garden (not sure why, but she won't plant anything herself!). She has...

Oh. My. Gosh. I had to go back and look at the picture again! I love it! Great idea and it looks so good! :woot :clap

I just bought some "summer cilantro" at the NC farmer's market last weekend. The leaves looked more like dill, but the flavor was definitely cilantro. I asked for the latin name, but failed to write it down - and promptly forgot it! I was visiting a friend, so I can't go back to ask again - at...

Vfem: I honestly thought about giving you a heads-up, but it was a very last-minute decision and I was there for a weekend-long babyshower for one of my best friends that I never get to see. :) Next time we shall meet up for sure! :D Hattie: Somehow I knew you'd be the one to tell me you were...

Does anyone grow Black Trifle? I just picked up a plant at the Farmer's Market in Raleigh, NC (was visiting a friend). I couldn't resist: it only cost $2.00! On a side note, I have a tomato plant growing out of my compost bin! Not sure what it is, but I am going to try to transplant it this week.

Oooh, I'm just now checking back in. French drains look great, but not sure they would work in my garden. I'm going to go for raised beds next year. I did get my second wind and I am going to be planting an heirloom tomato (Black Trifle) and heirloom spinach (not real spinach, but that's what...

There were just some studies done on the use of milk for powdery mildew. You mix it 10 parts water to 1 part skim milk and spray it on the leaves. Do a google search for powdery mildew and milk and I'm sure you'll get some more info. I used it on my zukes before they died and it seemed to work...

Happiest of days to you!! I hope it was wonderful. I'll be 30 next April, so I'm right there behind ya!

I kept thinking the same thing. We were not having to buy any produce for about a month, and it was SO nice! Now we're back at the grocery store, buying things that we were growing ourselves. Meh. :rant But... at least we HAVE grocery stores and the option of buying food! I will glady send some...

It has been raining EVERY afternoon and night for about 2 (?) weeks without fail. Our yard and garden are flooded (swamp-like!) and everything is dying. Check out my latest blog entry to see it. It's depressing. I'm wishing I could start over with raised beds, but no money right now to get...

It's my first year with corn, so I have no suggestions, just wanted to say :welcome from South Carolina. My husband is fron Albany! I am sure someone can help you out, thise forum is so helpful!
