garden pics to share
Comments (7)Bonnie, We have every animal imaginable around here (MA) from deer, rabbits, birds, to coyote and fox (oh yea, and one day a pig!) I haven't had any trouble with the birds. I do try to leave seed out for the different birds and maybe that helps! I have the rabbits eating the tops off my carrots, and last year something (deer I think) ate my 4 sapling size blueberry bushes! Only 2 came back this year! The entire garden area is going to be fenced in, the holes are dug so far :) We'll see if it helps at all :) And city tomato, believe it or not, we've cut down at least 35 trees since we bought this house 8 years ago! 8 of them were done for the septic to be replaced, and another 12 were done so we could get "some" sun in the yard and to put the gazebo (10x20) and pool (15x30) in. Others were still fairly small, too close to the garage, or sickly and we didn't want them to fall all the house in a storm! We've had 3 huge trees come down in storms, luckily they were all in the woods! We still have at least a half acre of trees left, and I'm planting some Japanese Maples, so we aren't destroying the place :)...See MoreAnyone have pics of their ready-to-harvest crop to share?
Comments (26)Like others, my crooknecked squash is doing very well so I won't post a solo picture of them. This is more like my garden "in progress". I struggle to keep up with weeding, even with cardboard and black plastic help! The biggest problem is bindweed, so I focus mostly on handweeding it and get the other weeds when the soil is really wet. ===== These are two New Big Dwarf tomatoes almost ready, our first full-sized tomato this year. We've had lots of little Red Robin cherries so far. We'll be eating these by Friday: Cowpeas FINALLY germinated. I have two raised beds of these: My (blurry) tomato jungle supported by cattle panels: Eggplant Rosita & Yellow Crooknecks on the right: Small yellow watermelon: Ambrosia and Crenshaw Melons -- MUST drench with Garden Disease Control since the leaves are browning around the edges: Smeraldo Pole Beans & Diva Cukes on the right: 30 chest-high plants, Sugar Dots Corn, and just-sprouting Legend Corn on the left for a larger crop later in the season. I also have this many Golden Cross Bantam corn plants in another area:...See MorePics to share and lots of catching up to do!
Comments (15)Hey Andrea, that was the place I was referring to. I try to buy in bloom but they're so reasonable with the perennials I get carried away. Judy's daylilies are looking much better this year, less deer damage although I haven't stopped in to purchase any yet (hopefully I'll get home tonite so I can start a new bed this weekend). Three new mini-beds but I've got some bigger plans...I'm sure I'll find something I need at Judy's. Haven't posted much lately, too busy with work but this week's mowing is caught up except for one I'm going to hit now. I'll try to sort through the pics and seperate my stuff from client's stuff and post some pics this evening. Really liking Kwanso this year, perfect compliment to my Fulvas, they start to come on just as Fulva is fading. Sort of like a prettier rebloom as the foliage and height are so similar.

Comments (11)I think the dinginess could be coming from the photograph and from the existing wall color more than from the samples themselves. But if you are concerned about that, and want a more reflective, brighter color, consider SW Dover White 6385 or Paperwhite 7105, or Restoration Hardware's Buttercream (it really does look like unsalted butter), or Benjamin Moore Vanilla Ice Cream, or for a little more color, B. Moore Mannequin Cream. Don't give up until you are really happy about the color! And don't choose just from a chip - when you are down to three, paint boards with sample sizes and...well, you've heard it often enough right here!...See Morearcy_gw
