    Yes there will still be a garden. And we are having our plant sale again this year. But I'm just cutting back a little bit. It's amazing how quickly time goes by.

    Nice blog! I like the round bricks you had in one pic - do you know what they are called? I've been looking for something like that to use for geocaches. Here is my blog

    Well......those months went by fast! :lol: With planting, vacation, work, canning and weeding I haven't been on TEG very much (ok at all). The garden is growing (and the weeds). We had 5" of rain in the last 3 days, so it's all very wet too.

    5+ foot tall tomatoes...

    I always like to show off my tomato walls. :D I'm working on a tutorial for building the 'walls', but it's not done yet. It's 2 10' EMT conduits, 2 3/4" connectors and some plastic netting. This is my 3rd year using them and I get tons and tons of tomatos. The walls really save a lot of...

    Anybody grow grapes & fruit trees together?

    I think the grapes would eventually kill the apple trees. The trees wouldn't get enough sunlight. If they were large established trees it might not be a problem, but the grape will grow faster than the trees.

    Having a Plant Sale - any tips?

    Good ideas! We are having it at my parent's house. They live in on a residential street, but it is near a busy corner, so lots of traffic to see our sign! They also have a huge garage (in case it rains) and (if my dad every finishes it) small 8x10 green house. Now my Grandma is getting in...

    I put all the beds in my garden on Tues. and put mulch around them. Yesterday I set up 3 new compost bins, but it was too dark to take a pic by the time I was done. Now I have a trailer load of dirt in my driveway to move into the beds. Still have to: Prune black raspberries. Get pond...

    Rough mulch vs fine mulch

    I use grass clippings in my raised beds as mulch and wood chips in between the beds. I don't like to use wood chips in the beds, because they use up a lot of nitrogen when they start to break down. The grass clippings look nice, keep the weeds down and are a good fertilizer.

    Annual Sweet Peas help please.

    I would plant them outside and skip the jiffy pots. It should be warm enough in your zone to plant them right now.
