How do you over winter bell peppers? What growing zone are you in? Your garden is WAY ahead of mine and just beautiful (sigh). Also, just a thought about your garden, if you have heard this before, sorry. You mentioned that both tomatoes and squash grow beautiful plants but don't produce as...

Roses have always been my favorite. I had a huge rose garden at our previous place. I have been really missing them, so these roses were the first thing I planted at my new house. Many of the newer varieties are very disease resistant. I am very pleased with most of the ones I have put in. With...

A few of my new roses are putting on their first flush of blooms. It will be interesting to see how they change as they mature. I love red in the garden, so all are reds or red blends and all were supposed to be fragrant...but we know how that goes.

I am just getting started with my own blank slate. I have planted a few roses, because they are my favorites, but I am going slowly as I figure out how to make the most of my little place. Are Begonias full sun or do they prefer shade? I don't know for sure, but if I remember correctly, they...

Here is a shot of the front bed when I was starting to rebuild them. You can see where the brick edging was before I widened the beds. The big shrubs have been removed to.

Ridgerunner, I totally need manure makers! I already have chickens, because the place did have a coop. But larger livestock is on hold until we have fences and a barn of some sort. I want apples, cherries, and nectarines for sure. I don't care for mulberrues, so those aren't in my plan. The...

I have been taking pics, Garden Master. It will be fun to look back in a few years. :) I will post pics as soon as I learn how from my phone. Lol.
