    Happy but yet disappointed rant...

    My first year of gardening and I find myself happy and sad at the same time. We got a lot of peas and green beans and lettuce so for that I am happy. My cucumbers were a complete failure (thankfully my moms did great so we are swapping zucchini and cukes!). My sugar baby melons started off good...

    Dying viburnum bush

    Sorry if the pic is hard to see but I literally just noticed this 5 minutes ago. The bush (which through previous year postings believe it is a snowball viburnum) comes up as one trunk then splits off to two. The left side is dead! Well, technically it looks to still be in the process of dying...

    Spoiled with grubs

    We finally got the run fencing put up so I began removing the grass from its perimeter to get ready for plants and wow the grubs (never knew we had them until I started gardening this year!) My lil ladies are loving it though, they follow me around the fence and wait for their treats. Strange...

    And this...

    I'm not sure if this is a tree, shrub, flower or what! A little history on it...for 4 years, it has been cut down, attempted to be dug out (going down about 2-3 feet and never finding the end because I believe it is going under a cement sunporch addition) and it continues to come back every...

    Live webcam of a robins nest

    This is on my brothers porch. He normally has his webcam set up for his rabbit and cats but since the robins babies have hatched, he put it on them. I think it is cute and wanted to share! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/9754651

    Hardening off

    I have some flowers planted in my "sunroom". This room is south south/west facing and is mostly windows. It technically is not heated although the chicken brooder light does put off heat and of course, on a sunny day it is warm in there. Do my lil plants still need hardened off? They are on the...

    Privacy garden

    Hello all. I am new to this site...found it from BYC!!! I am hoping to get some ideas on what to plant in an area that will give us some privacy. We are in the process (3rd and final year) of filling in our backyard to level it out. This WILL be completed this spring lol. My issue is my nosey...
