It was the same for me !! I thought the root trainers were a great invention but I couldn't find them reasonably priced either. So, I just bought 5" deep pots to use for potting up after the seedlings outgrow their " baby pots " . They don't have grooves inside to help the roots grow downward...

Today I planted out 4 Malabar Spinach plants and 3 baby bush Watermelon plants ( yeah, right, they'll probably trail all over the yard without a lot of pruning back, but, I digress) Then did some weeding of the raised beds and deadheading. It got hot and muggy very fast this morning so I put my...

Rainy days are for housework, I've been told. Okay, but, that is, unless you need a day off from all the work you have been doing outside !! Then you skip the housework for another day !! If you spend most of your time outside, then what's the problem ? The house isn't getting dirty when you're...

Thank you Baymule. glad to be here. I had a mule, an Appy molly and her pasturemate was a bay mule. She did hate her for about 6 months because Millie was convinced she was not a mule, she was a horse !! 😅

I really like this bed you made from reclaimed wood !! That's a wonderful idea to use as a nursery bed or for anything you need some shade for !! *thumbs up *

I got beans in the mail today too !! Fava beans that I ordered off Etsy. 😁

I found hundreds of pieces of metal junk, glass up the ying/yang, but then... I found chert, red chert, that was worked by native Americans into different tools. I found lots of chipping too. I can just see them sitting 10' from my house working away chipping stone into tools. I also found a...

@digitS' I planted Fava beans, (Broadbeans) here in spring and they grew well, made flowers but as the lower flowers aged they turned black. I think it's lack of pollenation but I'm not sure. It may be the heat. We had high 80's and some 90's in April and May. So, I got the Aquadulce beans and...

Oh Goodie !! And Chocolate makes me happy so, this means that I will live a long and happy life !!.:celebrate Thanks for the encouragement @Dahlia !! 😊

I had two different sets of trees that grew together like that. In the hurricane last year they split apart and inside the joined area was a BIG hollow area. This is the one that's still surviving..I have my clothesline attached to it. If you get a wind storm, chances are it will fall. Mine...

I have 8 blueberry plants planted in the yard. I have very acid, sandy soil and they are doing well this year. The first year there weren't very many berries on, the second year they were getting too shaded so, not many berries. Last year in September we had a hurricane com through which took...

This year all that I intend to save seed from in the veg patch are lettuce and chinese celery. Most of the other veg are F1 hybrids so, no sense saving those seed. If any stray tomato plants come up on their own I pull them up but, sometimes, if the plant looks really good and I don't notice it...

Ahh !! That's like free fish emulsion and that may be the trick to getting those blooms !! :thumbsup

I'm totally addicted to coffee but now it's decaf with chocolate creamer in it. I should really quit the chocolate creamer and the coffee because I probably easily drink 10 cups a day !! :(:p

I'm origionally from Massachusetts, born and raised !! I've been to Vermont a few times. Gorgeous country !! Thank you all for your warm welcomes !! 😊

What a pretty shade of pink on those cactus blooms !! I've never seen one of those bloom before. How did you do it, if you don't mind saying ? 😊

I just joined the site and am excited to meet all of you, learn from you, help where I can and have a fun time !! I have a half acre, an old Victorian house, a mini schnauzer x dachshound named Rags and a bit of experience with gardening. I can't wait to dig in ( pun intended) ;) 🙂
