I love my husband, but....
Comments (14)You are lucky. My husband makes promises every year at the beginning of the season that he will do more in the garden, but.....He doesn't enjoy it. He's very helpful on my big projects (tilling, edging, etc). Generally I'm luckier for him to stay out of it since he can't seem to recognize one plant from another on a reliable basis (even with each row marked). One year he picked the young green pods off half a row of October beans when I was out of town and left a note for him to pick the green beans on the fence. The only reason it was just half a row is that my son stopped him and pointed to the fence and then to the marker than said "October beans." Another year he picked unripe watermelons on three occasions...one per week. Anyway, with your excess you can can, freeze, or donate to local food shelters. Also, our local fruit stands and farmer's market will buy good looking produce IF they need what you have. We also have a local organic food co-op that sponsors a "tailgate sale" every Saturday where local gardeners and farmers can sell their produce....See MoreI love my HTs but, , , ,
Comments (30)Andreark, there may be some teas that will work for your purpose. Old Garden types have really grown on me, and that's the direction I'm gravitating toward. If Mrs. Jennings suggests something it will certainly work, she's far more experienced than myself. I'm currently doing an experiment with "grow bags," which are any of the fabric-type containers labeled "Smart Pots" "Oregon Breather Pots" etc. They allow roots to naturally air prune themselves as opposed to coiling into a ball in a non-aerating container. They aren't the most aesthetically pleasing, but what I'm looking into is placing them inside something pretty, like a urethane-sealed wicker or rattan basket. The reason I'm interested in this is seeing if it aids to keep a rose from "outgrowing" its container, which is really the problem. If the roots coil around into a tight ball, it must be removed, pruned, and/or moved to a bigger container. In theory, the fabric pots should eliminate this. They're extremely cost-effective, if you're interested in trying it....See MoreI love My dog but... Otherwise called more whining
Comments (8)Nancy, Mulan is really adorable and still available, although I warn you whoever takes her will have a piece of my heart along with her. I mostly call her Scrappy and my daughter who originally named the two princesses (yes they are Disney Princess dogs) calles her Mooshie more often than not. She is a scruffy little thing and is totally lovable. Not sure if you could train her to bite workman who set up saws in flowerbeds but you could try. Here is a link that might be useful: Mulan...See MoreOkay...I didn't want to this...but I'm just too excited!!!
