We just moved to this county three weeks ago. I don't know where the extension is yet. I was thinking Virginia creeper. We have a whole bunch of the first photo. They are all around the property. Some are just a stand or row of these others are surrounding trees. I think all the trees are...

Thanks, I have some I need to move also.

The first one is about 6-12' but we have these all over all different sizes. These next 2 are both vines We have many different vines growing all over. I'm sure some is kudzu but we are relatively new to this part of the country and don't know what it looks like. Thanks Monica

DH is making me a cold frame out of french doors he replaced at DMIL's. He is building them into the southfacing hillside by the garden. The link for the hotbed looks like the type of frame he is going to do. I think I will put an ad on freecycle for old windows! With the wind we have here we...

DH replaced DMIL's french doors recently. He is going to make me cold frames out of them. He is going to build them into our hillside by our garden. They will be south facing, we figure that this will be okay. We plan to prop or open the door during the day. Hopefully he can get them done soon...

DH and I keep looking at these type of designs for diy greenhouses, but have decided that they would not work for us. At least twice every winter we get several feet of snow in a 24 hr. period. Also all year long we are subject to high winds. We live in a valley and winds whip through here like...

DH and I are working with DMIL on planning/landscaping her yards. She has two huge oak trees in back, so the soil around them is very acidic. Any suggestions of where I can find lists of plants that do well in acidic soil. DMIL will be watering and not much else, so I need to find plants that...

Our neighbor gave us 65 pines/ junipers last weekend! They are all in pots, in various stages of growth/death. The neighbors are occasional weekend people so do not get up often enough to water and/ or plant. Me and DGD, are watering/ feeding and catagorizing everything. I took pictures of when...

Unfortunately, I can't do any planting right now as puppies have taken over my garden. We have one left to find a home for and the two we are keeping. Until DH fixes the small openings in the pen or builds a run, they stay in my garden during the day and my laundry room at night. We go on...
