my inlaws have some peach trees, and we've gotten some of the pits... we've tried to grow trees from them before and it hasn't worked.. is there a trick to it? i have six right now that are drying out at room temp..
i've read that bamboo is considered a tree - so i thought i'd put this here. has anyone used bamboo as a fence? we want to put something along our tree line b/c the trees are thin and our dogs bark their heads off at everything. we also want to put some around their dog lot for extra shade...
we are finally getting fruits and veggies! our squash plant (well my husband's i don't like squash) died b/c *i think* he didn't weed well enough and it got chocked out. but we found four watermelons today, i got three tomatoes last night and can see some tee tiny baby cantalopes on the vine...
we planted squash, watermelon, tomatoes, broccoli and cantaloupe - only two tomatoes and one squash are doing well. they get water every day and fertilizer when it doesn't rain, and are in full sun. we've started seeds for lettuce and cukes and they seem to be doing ok.

the mil wants some and i thought it would go well on our back...
