Um, well, no. The stove is run with two propane tanks I have to fill every couple of months or so. But I simply don't have the money for a large...
OMG - what I wouldn't give for clay! When I lived in south San Jose in California, my whole yard was nothing but clay. You went out in the rain to...
The blue mist plant is the plant in the two pictures in the beginning of this thread. The little one is so tiny, I'm not sure I could get a decent...
Here's something I heard about poison oak - would probably work with poison ivy as well. If you're exposed to it or get it on your skin, make...
I just had to go out and clip and move blackberry vines that were more than an inch thick and today I have scratches all up and down one arm like...
Uh, you haven't seen my yard. Where I live, the original "soil", and I use that word lightly, is nothing but rocks with a little dirt sprinkled...
I believe my zone is 8b. I just have to add this: I was out this morning and looked at the other tinier blue mist plants I have and one of them...
I had gotten three of these plants about three or four years ago from a company back east, which was the only place I could find them. I'd had one...
I have two butterfly bushes - one that I bought from a nursery and one that's growing wild. The one that's growing wild had been watered maybe...
I was afraid of that but the plant never grows any taller. I'd toss it, but I keep hoping it will flower some day. This is a spring picture of...
I had asked for people to give me pine trees and a lady gave me these. She was unsure herself whether they were junipers or cedar trees. The big...
I've had this plant for going on four years now. It's survived hail, excess water, snow, heat, everything. It dies off in winter to just a stem,...
The weather this month has been a lot like the weather all summer: downright idiotic. This year in the PNW, it rained and was cold until the...
I need to do weeding again, so today what I did...was just look at my garden. The spirit is not moving me to do much else in it at this time.
I'll have to wait till I get a fence up then. Up here, blueberries are on the deer buffet. Anyway, now I'm thinking of pulling the grapevine out...
I've only planted one grapevine before and it was years ago when I was in California. It took three years, but the year I moved, naturally, there...
Yes, but it would be a wild overestimation to think that I'll even get one grape. LOL
You know, I've heard that vinegar will kill plants. I have a section out by my driveway I just haven't been able to get to this year, so I put...
This is the first time the corn has been planted in this location. Next year I'll throw the corn out in the yard and grow tomatoes where the corn...
You have to prune grapevines?o_O
