@Nyboy during the summer people will put bags and bags of lemons, oranges, and grapefruit on sidewalks and porches with signs "PLEASE take!" No vitamin C shortage here! ;)

I've never had a chance to try many trees, just TONS of citrus. (We have so many citrus trees in our area, we WISH the wildlife would eat them!) I am ordering 2 elderberry trees right now, the dwarf kind. I wish I could grow figs and cherries in our area!

I was in the UK in the spring and bought a mini churner. It has like a quart glass jar for the base. I have made regular butter then a really good cinnamon honey butter to go on biscuits! I don't shake like @digitS' but mine has a whisk-like thing that spins when you turn the handle. :) The next...

That's why I use kefir, cause I'm lactose intolerant ;)

I don't drink it plain, but I will put it in my smoothies. :)

Wow! None of my mignonette strawberries made it. What type were yours? @bobm

I think they go to Mexico and South America. Now we only have a couple visiting our feeders. I'll miss them this winter! :( Funny story: In our old house there was a male that would visit a couple times a day and nest in our tree. One day he decided to follow me in my garden. And after that when...

My winter garden isn't as much work as the summer garden. There are practically no weeds, so all I need to plant, mulch, water, and eat! I do a lot of sewing and scrapbooking in the winter too. ;) @Lavender2

I'm planting kale, cauliflower, lettuce, cabbage, beets, onions, some different types of flowers, and some other stuff I can't remember. So thankful for our year-round growing season! :clap

That is an adorable afghan! Your mom definitely has talent! :)

I would love some seeds! We can trade some! :) @thistlebloom

Kinda @so lucky the very top will be wet and the rest below is dry. Now I'm pretty sure it's mycelium, thanks to the help of @digitS' and @journey11 The compost was bought, I didn't make it.

Yep, they called them bachelors button when we were there!

The only thing I've added is compost. When it was wet, it was fine but when I went on a trip and my friend did a poor job of watering it, It became rock hard.

This is a pic taken earlier in the year when I went to Scotland- a thistle-type flower, I can't remember the name!

Some more pics:

Here are the pictures of the soil.

So I am prepping my soil from my winter garden, and about 1 inch down there are lots of white roots. They extend to places that I didn't even plant stuff in. It is rock hard. Has anyone seen this and know what to do about it? I've been raking, but it leaves my soil looking gray. :idunno I'll...

I don't want frost, I just want cooler weather! I am prepping for my winter garden... :cool: @catjac1975 @Smart Red

I wish I had weather like you! We had a crazy rainstorm last night, and the high today is 90 degrees and this weekend its gonna be 100! :eek:
