I have heard about the barrel potato planting but also heard that the yield wasn't that great. I have wanted to try it for myself but I don't really need to conserve garden space that much. I just want clean potatoes that I don't have to scrub. Let me know what kind you try this year and how it goes. I've read that you can use tires for that too, stacking them up as the plant grows. I might try it one year just for fun, especially if I decide to put in a lot more corn. islandmanmitch, I only have 3.5 acres and have lots of other things to plant too. Cardboard between corn rows is a good idea. I use it on the garden to keep the weeds down too but had planned on tilling between the corn this year. Time is the problem for me. It takes time to slice open and lay out all those boxes but it sure makes for less work! Misjay2u, you can Google growing potatoes in tires or barrels and get lots of good info.

Well Jane, I can top you on the losing weight part...I need to lose over 100 lbs. My hubby and I are both diabetic, my kids are overweight too. We spend too much time sitting around watching TV in the evening and no one exercises at all. The most exercise I get is cutting my neighbor's lawn along with mine although it has been so dry here the grass doesn't grow very fast to even have to worry about cutting it. The last year has been a difficult one for me. A year ago April my DH was laid off from his job which came as a total shock to us. We didn't have health insurance for over 3 months and the cost of our prescriptions killed us. DH was able to get another job but it doesn't pay as much as his last job and we have to pay a portion of our health insurance plus a bigger deductible for prescriptions. I tried to find a job, but I am profoundly deaf and unable to understand well enough to talk on the phone so that really narrows down the job selections. I don't have much confidence either, I mean it's been a LONG time since I had to work, I filled out a LOT of job applications but Michigan's economy sucks and there just isn't a lot of hiring going on. I did get a job at Christmas working nights stocking shelves at Dollar Tree. I was asked to stay on after Christmas but by my working nights nothing was getting accomplished...clothes weren't getting washed, dinner cooked, etc...my family is used to my being home and doing it all. It kills me that my kids have to help us pay bills. I was depressed until January 2007 when I decided that I couldn't change our money situation so I just need to take it one day at a time. My DH does a few air compressor repairs on the side and he gives me some of that money and tells me to spend it on myself to get craft supplies because he knows I enjoy crafting so much. I've tried to sell my crafts but haven't had much luck, people around here just don't have the extra cash to spend on stuff like that. Oh well, eventually things have to get better, right? Barb

I'm new. I wake up in a new world EVERYDAY! But I do have lots of brugs blooming. I owe all of you a big fat thank you for them also. Very few of the ones I bought made ti through the winter. I did manage to save a couple of double and 2 triples. (Yeah Me!!!!)

My brugs are really starting to jump up and grow big time!
Happy Gardening you folks. Oh, they like horse manure too as that's what I've been giving them. LOL And that's not just horsing around either. I knew those horses where going to come in handy sometime.

No rain here either. I post once in a while, lurk once in a while, mostly hang out on the Texas Forum, some on the Gulf Coast forum.
One of these years I might even buy a camera, or find the cords & software for the one I do own, which is who knows where.
Tally HO!

Welcome Maureen!!! Beachplant, you need to join in more often. I havn't been on a whole lot lately so I really can't talk, but it's about too hot to even walk outside much less try and do any yard work...So I'm sure I'll be on more until this heat wave breaks. We aren't getting rain either. It's like August already. gripe gripe gripe

After a pretty dry spring we are on the 2nd day of "on and off" rain and overcast sky. The brugs are loving it! I think I hear them dancing on the deck - lol!

Welcome Maureen. We are all addicts, lol. You will fit right in. What kind or color brugs do you grow?

What a nice bunch!

Which brugs am I growing? I have a little dilemma about that. Last fall the chilly weather came on before I was ready so I was kind of a maniac cutting them down to haul inside. In the process the tags fell off so......as Gomer Pyle would say (I know, I'm dating myself)...."Surprise, surprise, surprise!". I lost a few of them over the winter too so we shall see. At the end of the day it doesn't matter - I love them all. I do however a penchant for pink - pink anything!

Don't feel bad. I have lost a lot of tags too and will lose many more before the year is out, lol. I like pink myself, lol. By the way, I watched Gomer too so you can't be that old, lol.
