Hey Pat: I am glad I am not the only one suffering from blond moments. I found the following at BYC and thought it was a perfect description of me. LOL From thenewchick at BYC Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the...

I have heard several commercials for a low water, less mowing, weed resistant grass. Does anybody have any experience with these? What are your opinions of these? Which type is most grass like? I have heard that some are really bad.

Drakemaiden Wow! That was indeed it. It is a beautiful plant. You are incredible. I had little hope of figuring out what that plant could be. It was found in the wasatch cache national forrest near a river. I am so glad that you were able to help us. Now is it edible??? :dance

Can you Self Pollinate your apple/cherry trees that require pollinizers?

We were hiking in the rocky mountains the other day and came across a berry we could not identify. I didn't have my camera and therefore did not get a pic...let's hope my description helps. It had two dark purple berries about the size of a pea in the middle of a beautiful red flower. The...

I plant the white swiss chard every year. I put it in a slightly shaded area and it takes off. The funny things is that it also survives many of our winters which are pretty harsh. Two years in a row I was able to harvest swiss chard in Jan and Feb when it was 15 degrees outside. My mil was...

My Dh planted grape vines and then put two trellis systems in. The first is for the cooler days but when it gets hot we move the vines across the garden to provide shade. The vines show no strain in the move and we are able to manipulate the sun's rays. He has also used canvas triangles and...

I found with my squash and my beans that during the really hot days (90+) that it started to die. We provided filtered shade and they took off. We would put up a trellis system which provided enough relief that the squash grew and provided enough veggies for my family and my neighbors.

I haven't had an issue with Gophers, moles, voles etc but had several neighbors swear this works. They leave the Bubalicious bubble gum around their yard and the critters eat it...and it is supposed to kill them. If your wanting to get rid of them it is worth a try. As for prevention, my MIL...

I planted chocolate mint and spearmint in my garden next to the tomotos and have had little problem with it. I do cut it back every few months to keep it where I want it. I actually have given starts to several of my neighbors. I allow it to contain an area covering 1 sq foot. My kids love...

Well mystery is solved...My DH is still laughing over this one. I was really concerned over what I could possibly have and noticed that the chickens paid no attention to them (I am sure they would go for the bugs if their were some). Anyhow my DH walked me around and showed me a pattern of...

Hey Y'all: I went out to check on the chicks and on the way to the hen house found 1/2 in diameter holes in my lawn that goes fairly deep into the grass. I know my critters didn't do it for they stay in their run and when I do let them run free they head to the other side of my yard (and are...

Hey y'all: Was wanting to build a greenhouse and wanted to know where to start. We have a good size garden (at least for the lot size we have). What are the must haves??? Can I still grow squash and tomatos through the winter? What are your thoughts?:dance
