Lawn & Garden Show Garden Seminars Feb 20-21 2009
Comments (5)Hi gldnol, Yes should be good seminars. hristie_sw_mo did do online research but some of it's conflicting. And, since she got her plants from me a few seasons ago, she thought it best to ask me directly. *wink* Generally though, I do usually direct people to the Missouri University Extension Agricultural Publications as well as Ohio State University's Home and Garden Publications for any gardening related question. There are many more excellent opportunities to learn at these Sustainable Garden Seminars. Looks like there are over 50 people signed up for many of them so there's good interest out there. Many of them are free if you just call to register. It's always nice to be around other gardeners and I always pick up some tidbits I can use in my own gardening....See MoreA Frog for Helen's Garden
Comments (4)He looks sleepy-eyed, like he's saying "Is it spring ALREADY??" I have one that sits by my back door at night all summer. He occasionally gets bounced around by the dogs swarming out that door but maintains his position in spite of it. I'll get some picks of him this year....See MoreWhat are You Eating from the 2021 Garden?
Comments (11)Been making a mess o' greens the last few dinners as I need to harvest the perennial kale because it's in the spot that one of the cold frames uses. I think the perennial kale will survive. I cut it with a tree saw to about 7 inches high. I see it trying to push out new leaves. Still a couple more plants to go. We still have a few cucumbers left but we better use them fast. Plenty of tomatoes are ripening in the basement room that's being kept slightly warmer with an electric heater. We've been baking up some of the winter squash that didn't fully ripen. They've been okay. Lots of volunteer greens are still making it to the dinner table. Mizuna, parsley, salad burnett, oregano, some sort of loose leaf cabbage etc. Mixed in with the various kale plants, garlic greens, garlic chives for salads. We just started cooking up some of the winter squash the other night starting with one of the jumbo gete okosomin. We have some potatoes left which are going fast. Most of the cold frames have been planted out. Cold frame 1 has a gazillion volunteers of lettuce and Asian greens. I have some thinning to do in the next few weeks....See MoreGarden bed progress 2021
Comments (14)@diggerdee zone 6 CT: thanks! the penstemon is Dakota Burgundy and the follage is purple throughout the seasons. I also planted Onyx and Pearls and it also has great color! @peren.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada: thanks, that’s correct, we get a lot of snow and only the arborvitaes will be visible this winter!...See Morebayarea_girl_z10a_ca
