So I decided to try my hand at square foot gardening this year. I made a 4x8 raised bed last year that I filled with garden loam
so this year I figured I would make another and just finished putting it together. Have my pvc hoop house built over both beds
and the quadrants done on the new bed...
I would think something like this would work.

You should google large reptile heating pad. Should be able to get something cheap.
I planted two starts that I picked up at the local garden center here in late may just for the heck of it. I planted them in my strawberry pyramid since they didn't seem to do doing so well this year.
This was the end result.
I ended up with a total of about 30 mellons all averaging about...
I know I'm a little late to the party Lesa but do a Google search for " Joe's ancient orange mead" It's a quick mead that is perfect at about six weeks. Tastes fantastic. Also you can do staggered nutrient additions and get a good

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone.
Yes those are Spiderwort or also known as Snotweed. lol I love how they open in the morning and the bumblebees swarm all over them. Then they start to close

When told I had to paint the fence I told them I hope they like hunter...
Thought I would share a few pics of some of the flowers I am growing this year. I plan on adding a bunch of Dahlias and Bearded Iris in addition to

Those are really pretty.
A few of mine have been opening this week also
I have a few others colors that are starting to open. I'll make sure to get pics when they do.
Hi all I've been stalking the board for a couple of months now and figured it was time I joined in on the conversations.
The Dahlias look great Lesa.
I was thinking of ordering some Dahlias and Bearded Iris' from American Meadows in Vt. They have a sale going on right now on
fall bulbs and...
