Kathleen Dobson commented on Jennifer P (hostageek)'s blog post Dividing Hostas in Spring"Good info! Thanks for taking the time to show a step by step. I've always taken mine all the way out of the ground before dividing, didn't think about using the transplant shovel to just take out a section."

rain garden
"I forgot to include you need to make a place for it to feed into by making a small channel and I do have under the driveway a pipe that will lead water from one side to the other."
Kathleen Dobson commented on Kathleen Dobson's photorain garden
"How a rain garden works is a great question. I have lots of sitting water in the winter, so the areas that lake up I dug out about 1 1/2" deep and improved drainage in that spot by adding sand and small rock then created a pond like spot. I put…"

Bob Lund replied to Kathleen Dobson's discussion clearing scotch broom in the group Washington"Kathleen - I volunteer with the Nature Conservance in this neck of the woods. In the prairie management locations they use a tool similar to this (link). Great exercise :-) I had a few mature plants when I bought my place in 1995, and I pulled them…"

Kathleen Dobson posted a blog postupcoming wedding
Good morning everyone! I am planning my wedding! After looking at wonderful garden venues around here, I realized driving up my own drive why not have it in my garden. I know this sounds stressful, but not really. Half the front yard is ready and I know what I want to do with the rest. Just thinking about it.

Well my septic guy came and said how old this thing? That sort of scared me. Everything worked out fine though. Haven't filled it back in yet, my 9 year old son is playing fort in the dirt over there.

chris shepardson said… - Love living in the country but wish there were sewers! Septic systems can be a headache...mine is about 28 years old and I wonder what is the life of a system? Thank you for the comments about my gardens, I kinda consider them as groupings of flowers and a bit of a hodge podge with plants "rescued" at seasons end got good prices..would like them to be more artistic and complimentary. I guess that is not a bad goal. I am in zone 5 near Albany NY, where are you from?

Janet Mills said… - Thank you, Kathleen! Everything I do in the garden is by trial and error, so I have learned the hard way, and I am still learning. And loving every minute of it!

"Hi Cindi, glad you like them, but oh no. Most Bowling balls are much too heavy for me. I use those big foam balls from the craft store. Much lighter and easier to work with, and you can stick things in them. Put on a coat of adhesive grout…"
