anyone elses garden too wet to till ?
Comments (14)Thanks for the tips, very helpful! We do have some great onions and garlic, some sweet potatoes still going, so that's a start. I have encountered a lot of slugs this spring in the small amounts of time I've been able to do stuff between frosts and rains. A couple celery stumps I put in the ground in Jan, then in early March, are growing. Don't know if we'll get a snack or just compost fodder, but it's fun, educational for my son. Some tomato and cucumber sprouts in another spot by the fence did come up. Might as well use part of the fence for something besides keeping the dog in. Those take up too much room in our little tilled spot. What part of the state are you in, Jny? Opp is in the middle, just a few miles north of the FL border. Sounds like you're in good company regarding frustration! What are you anxious to plant?...See Morequestion for lindalana or anyone else with a woodland garden
Comments (2)Melissa, My experience with hibiscus is somewhat limited as it is not my favorite plant. As any malvacea group, hibiscus has long fleshy root and needs care when transplanted mature plant.Hibiscus aka Rose of Sharon bush is pretty weedy and will grow easily pretty much anywhere. It may not bloom heavily when in deeper share but it will take part sun part shade situation well. There are some hybrids that are sterile so it won't reseed. I have grown hibiscus moscheutus easily from seed and it does well in moist soil or in regualr soil with decent watering. Again if you have a spot that not too shady/ like on the north side of your house or under deep shade tree/, it will do ok but overall it is better suited for sunnier areas. It will grow in shady area just won't bloom much so it is to your benefit to give it at least high open shade to bloom well. It could be little bit fussy when transplanted young but if you leave it alone it regrows well....See MoreAnyone else being garden spammed?

Comments (65)All right - Im close to bailing out here - I just want to retrieve some of my better posts and maybe me and Houzzz can duke it out over who "owns" them. They are merging everything - besides decorating there is now "Advice" and some other categories that seem to exist now. Perhaps I could deal with the cluttery chaotic format, but the rudeness of in your face pop-ups that don't take no for an answer are hard to deal with. I don't ordinarily act as diversity police, but I must say the "lets get started" screen with the 2 young perky blondes and the bald guy of indeterminant age does NOT represent, or appeal to my demographic!...See Moreposierosie_zone7a
