Lovely, just lovely! We have the "pussy cat whiskers" (Orthosiphon stamineus) here in our Texas garden, and the cypress vine, also. The whiskers...
We Stewies are kindred souls! Neatness doesn't count with Mother Nature (have you seen what she does when left on her own?) and a garden that is...
The soil problem would still be there, but with containers with "new" soil, she could have tomatoes. Anything in the nightshade family would be...
Cheryl, Growingpains has a great idea with the container planting. I hadn't thought of that as a cure for the soil-borne disease problem....
http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/DiagnosticKeys/TomLeaf/TomLeafKey.html Cheryl, the above website has pictures of various tomato...
Yes, cut them off since setting seed will affect the bulb in a very bad way! Onion bulbs are just food storage containers, and setting seed drains...
I'm not Philip, but I'll try to answer your question about not spraying on a sunny day. Each droplet acts like a prism, intensifying the sun's...
I like the hanging basket idea, but with the number of plants we have, our place would look like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
Jerry, if I could afford it, I'd do it! But, the spirit is willing, but the wallet is not. :'(
Neem Oil! There is hope for my roses and vegetables--grasshoppers beware! I had no idea Neem worked on 'hoppers. Oh, THANK YOU Philip!
Now I know why I like corn so much. After a morning of picking peas, hilling potatoes, checking the squash, and picking lettuce, I'm tired of...
Now, I'd be thrilled, but you may not be. Snakes lay eggs. Very small eggs. You may have an incipient serpent. I'd leave it alone, keeping it out...
Welcome from Central Texas, Jacob! Cheryl is right--lots of helpful folks here with a sense of humor, too. Gardening is addictive--so be ready...
I love, love, love these photos and captions! Please, keep them coming y'all :lol: !
Well, if someone other than myself was going to get a bargain on those beautiful tall containers, I'm glad it was you Philip. Not ecstatic, not...
Carolyn, my Australorps have yellow feet (haven't really checked their legs since I've been concentrating on both ends--beak and the other). They...
Great photo Gail, and what a grand reason for not posting often! Keep Carolyn's Buttercup away from your chipmunks, however....
Shoot, that isn't bad! Those weeds can be dug out with a "sharpshooter" which is a long, narrow shovel (not expensive, and a decent one will last...
Not check out a nursery? Are you mad? Of course you have to go to the Feed store that is a great nursery and let us know how it is. I can...
Great idea! Creeping phlox is a good plant, and should be perfect for that area. May I suggest that instead of having the two beds intersect at a...
