Gorgeous garden, Debby!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup Looks very peaceful there! Bet you just love to be outdoors!

Here's a good link for all of us interested in 'companion planting' in our gardens. http://www.attra.org/attra-pub/complant.html#chart Great idea, Purple, to take notes this year to help you plan in the future!!

:) Thanks, Karan! I was supposed to have surgery earlier, but actually I'm glad it worked out like it did. Even though I can't get down and dirty the weather is perfect, not raining and not too hot yet. And the chickens provide a lot of entertainment for me. Husband gets me set up in a comfy...

One of my favorites!

Well, compared to the rest of you our garden is getting a slow start! Since I had surgery a month ago my husband has had to do all the cooking, cleaning, yard care, and most of the care of the animals. And he's working full time too. I'm still not allowed to lift, twist, vacuum, pull, or push...

We're in zone 7 (northern CA). Our nighttime temps were from 42-48 this past week with daytime temps in the 60's. The week before we had warm days in the high 70's. I got fooled with those warm days and lost all my tender little tomatoes to the nighttime cold. :hit So, started more Roma...

vfem and jlmann I loved looking at the pictures you both posted! What nice healthy looking plants you have. :thumbsup and beautiful gardens. I did a big 'no-no' and put my tomato seedlings out too early. My husband tried to warn me, but I didn't listen. Out of 24 plants, I've got maybe 2 that...

My 'I-have-to-weed-the-garden' days are over! Chickens and their coop are in a fenced 20x30' area. Adjoining their area and accessible by a second gate is a second 20x30' garden area. The chickens had both halves until 2 days ago when we split it with a dividing fence and gate. Due to the...

I envy you that have such a jump on the season! Really anxious to get our garden planted this year. We didn't have one last year and sorely missed it. We're getting a late start this year. I just had abdominal surgery 2 weeks ago so I'm not allowed to do anything heavy/strenuous yet. I started...

Mmmm!!! Jam and pancakes! Yummeee!

Oh, I so agree! And just plain spend time with her! My grandma will be 90 at the end of the month, Granddad will be 91 in November. They recently moved here to CA after living virtually all their lives in OH. They were big time gardeners in their day, always won the Mum Festival awards. As the...

Nubsmum, GREAT idea to make a mint scrub! Sounds like a wonderful gift idea.:) Tutter, the ice cream recipe looks easy and yummy! I think we'll try it this weekend. Maybe add in a ribbon of fudge...:P

More blackberries picked this morning! Sweeter than the first batch! Mmmm!!!:D

Hi, all! A project I've been working on is to make a notebook of what is already in my yard, stuff planted before we bought the house and stuff we've added since. We are in a heavy deer area so have to watch what we put out. Anyway, my notebook is pictures I've taken of our plantings, with a...

Wow! You guys have a beautiful place! That rooster was gorgeous. Sorry you lost him. :( We hope to move to North Carolina sometime. Hopefully not too long. You are lucky, lucky, lucky! I enjoyed your pictures!:)

I started there too!:)

Thanks, Ozark! I'm hoping so!

Sounds yummy! We can't do a veggie garden this year so I will have to enjoy hearing about what you all are getting! :D

Glad you asked this question as I am interested to know the answer, too! I was noticing a lot of new blackberry shoots coming up today along our road and was thinking I'd like them much better along my fence line. The dang things come up like weeds. I might just try it, keep them watered and see...

At our house it was figs and the first blackberries. The latter was yummy made into a berry cobbler (also used raspberries and blueberries from the store).:)
