    Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

    Got 10 and 30 gal fabric grow bags. Cinderblocks to make a long "container" out of, open to ground below them, fill with dirt and plant in and in the wall cells. Can these plants grow and stay in these over winter? In just the blocks that connect directly to the ground or also the bags...

    Fawn

    Was on a walk when Woofer vanished & suddenly started barking. Went through the overgrowth & discovered a fawn! He's not deer friendly, so I had to carry it behind a gate, out of reach. I hope it's a safe spot, at least he stopped barking at it. Does love to have their babies here. He killed a...

    Variegation, on the rise at my farm

    I've now seen two wild plants with it. One is a dock, the other I haven't IDed yet. I tried to pot the dock, but the dirt I used turned out to be heavy clay...🤦🏽‍♀️ Any ideas on what causes it? Could I pot them and use their seeds in hopes of creating variegated versions of them? Has anyone...

Have 9 paddocks currently, but 1st has two mature trees, 2nd has two medium willows, the 3rd has two young fruit trees and the 4th has a row of pine/cedar trees. So, 5 more paddocks need...

    Protecting tiny trees

    I've always heard autumn is when you plant trees, true? Do I need to water them? I have 7 willows & 3 mulberrys to plant. They are wee little things and not on a tall, bare trunk. Think bushy, wild, messy. Lol I'll have a few more next year to plant. Anyway, anyone have ideas for very cheap...

    How do you start a new garden plot?

    I've never really looked into it before, as I've done raised beds or pots instead. Easy peasy. I want to attempt a more old fashioned garden, but nothing fancy & probably not fully right n proper either. Haven't decided on size, will measure it out soon. I've read 12-14in deep for first...

    Hummingbirds

    Few weeks ago a hummer visited my Thalia plant. I ordered 2 feeders that night and waited several days before a hummer found and tested out the feeder. A couple of days ago, a second hummer showed up and showed me it wanted a feeder with a rest to land on. I used some thick wire and made a...

    Strongest fruit trees for my area??

    So now that I've made 3 out of the 6 new paddocks, I realize I need to put in shade/shelter for my sheep. I'd like to use fruit trees for this, apple and pear. Only ones I'll eat, lol. But they need to be dwarf or real small and super disease resistant. I cannot be spraying them, ever, with...
