Perry Rosenfeld commented on Garden-Share's group Vegetable Gardens"Oh, yeah, some severe rain here on Friday night, but when you have sandy soil, it is just gone in an hour or so after the rain. By morning Saturday, you wouldn't know. The storm was severe enough to knock out power, but only momentarily (1…"
Perry Rosenfeld commented on Garden-Share's group Vegetable Gardens"I fed the veggie garden yesterday... then harvested 2 heads of brocoli. It was very hot here in North Florida yesterday, I registered 93F in the afternoon."
Perry Rosenfeld commented on Melanie's group Compost"Cathy,
In a nutshell, all you need for compost is decomposing materials, moisture, air, and time. Time is a big variable here, and time to create compost can be reduced if you are willing to put in some labor.
- For sanitary reasons, stay away…"

Perry Rosenfeld replied to Violet's discussion Compost Ingredients in the group Compost"Adrianne,
Yes, of course worms... This is the one time I would say "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!" I have never added worms and have always had them in there. This year I will be getting some reds, but only to set up a small bin…"
"A fellow student in my Master Gardener class used the plastic storage bins that you purchase for files, storage, etc., the stack of 3-4 type...I thought it was brilliant and cost effective! He swears by the Red Worms and orders them...says they do a…"
Perry Rosenfeld replied to Violet's discussion Compost Ingredients in the group Compost"Lisa,
I like your thinking... yes, I do many of those things again... but I had not thought of those water uses! Yesterday I added some moss and other plant/fungal/mossy growths I pulled off some sprouting trees. Compost is a decomposition game.…"
Perry Rosenfeld commented on Garden-Share's group Vegetable Gardens"Though legumes will "fix" nitrogen for their own needs, to benefit from this your plants roots must come upon the necessary beneficial species of Rhizobia. To greatly increase your success, after soaking your seed (I often soak bean seads…"
Perry Rosenfeld commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 8"My Azaleas seem to thrive in these conditions."
Perry Rosenfeld replied to Perry Rosenfeld's discussion Today's Composting efforts in the group Compost"Sheri,
I had considered the storage bins, and almost purchased two a couple of weeks ago when walking by them at the store. I did not buy them because I have a few here at the house already. After reading your assembly instructions, I am a bit…"

This is my Spring starting point
The photo below shows the progress of our SqFt garden so far this year. For the most part we have grown only the cold tolerant crops, easily seen here (Cabbage, Brocoli, radish). The photo captures about 1/2 of one of my SqFt patches. The red brick separates the two sections, each about 4 feet or so wide and 12 feet or so long. The photo represents about 30% of my vegetable gardening space. I haven't even used but about 50% of that at this time. Mulch will be applied this weekend, as the…See More

Hi from Zone 8bZone 9. When I think Gardening, I think of the above topics...
But my landscape has many other wonders all year round! I have many Camelias (red, white, pink, varigated, simple, compound, double compound) in the winter time, Azaleas in the spring, and sweet smelling gardenia in the warm seasons. My property is covered with oak, pine, pecan, maple, walnut, and citrus trees. I have wonderful boxwood hedges leading up to my front door, Lagustrums border the south side of my vegetable garden.
The centerpiece of my front yard is a huge Magnolia, one of 3 in my landscape.
My driveway is lined with Camelia, the carport/parking area has a wonderful border of Crepe Myrtle which flower most of the year.
As time moves forward, I seem to want more edibles in the landscape, so I hope to plant some blueberries, more citrus, figs(perhaps). Unfortunately though I have 4 nut trees, I never see a single nut due to the thriving squirrel population.
Thanks for visiting my profile page!
Happy Gardening!

Audra Mabrey - Z5/IN replied to Wendy Pritchett's discussion Inside Hens & Chicks in the group Hen and Chicks, Stonecrops and Sedum"I used to take mine in for the winter and store in the garage. A couple of years ago, I planted in my beds and left them out all winter. They did much better. I'm a Zone 5 in South/Central Indiana - Seymour. "
