Please excuse my lack of knowledge when it comes to plant ids. Is there a plant that looks like rubarb, but its not rubarb. I was cleaning up around the back of my property and I found this very large plant with broad leaves, it had stalks that were a redish color, looked like rubarb stalks...

Hey wow thanks Dirt I never knew not to add sand to my clay soil. I will just keep mixing in the compost.

I would like a more sandy soil. I have clay. I have been adding sand and compost to it. We have only owned our property for a couple years, and you can already see a huge difference in soil quality.

I will have to get a pic on here when it comes back up. I just mowed it down a couple days ago. But I see its already forming new leaves. I was going with the theory if I keep it cut short to the ground it would hopefully die off. But thats not working. I kill one spot 2 more pop up.

I have this weed growing everywhere. I'm not sure what it is. It has a really broad leaf to it. Someone once told me it looks like horseradish plant. But I dont know. I've pulled it out, dug it out, tried round up on it. But yet it keeps coming back stronger each time.

I dont want to post a pic here. Someone will ruin my mystery plant by telling me what it is. :lol:

Running late this year. The weather has been so funky this year. But I did it. 8 tomato plants, 4 watermelon plants, 8 cucumber plants, my mystery plants, yes mystery we were walking through the nursery and they had these plants, no signs on them. I think they might be eggplant, wife thinks...

Could be worse you could have a willow stump your trying to kill. I also noticed the wood pile is growing :he Does nothing kill this tree?

Believe it or not but my rhubarb plant has been past down through the generations. My great grandfather gave a root to my grandfather, who gave a root to my father, who has since given me a root. Still growing strong. I hope to give some to my son.

My wife is jealous of me. I don't react to poision ivy. When we first bought our home, there was poison ivy in back. She broke out so bad it was not funny, me not a mark, itch, red spot...nothing.

I forgot to ask about soil conditions. Where I want to plant them by the road, its kind of sandy out there. Will they do ok in sandy soil? Not too worried if it takes a few years for them to grow. I'm not going anywhere. ;) My mother has some of the prettiest liliac I have ever seen. My...

I want concrete painted green. Less work

My mother said I could transplant some of her lilacs to my house. How do I do it? I'm assuming just dig around some of the small new growth shoots and put it in a bucket and bring it home. Think they will make a good sound break from the yard and the busy street?

I'm hoping my strawberry plants will come back this year. We had a pretty bad drought and they dried up on me.

I've read that too. But the tree I bought had a label on it that said it self pollinates. I wish I could remember the type of cherry.

I really cant wait for the fruit, but I know I have a few more years before it produces any.

I planted a cherry tree last fall. I was worried about because it was really nothing more than a stick. But I checked it and it has buds starting. Maybe I wont lose it after all.

Thanks Pat I was only growing pumpkins for Jack o lanterns and treats for the girls in the winter. So I guess if I dont grow them this year the only ones that will suffer will be the chicks.

I'm not sure how deep my septic field is, I cant imagine its more that a couple inches deep under the sod.

Being the typical man that I am. Being told for millionth time to mow the lawn. On my only day off mind you. I started up the old rider and off I went. Tractor in high gear, blades spinning. gravel driveway, wife's new car parked in said driveway. Did you know that the blades spin really really...
