Hello Muriel. I too have soil that was all clay. I have been gardening for 25 years but have so much to learn so I read Steve Solomon's book called Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades. I found much of the advice I took to be spot on so I…

Pine needles are the mulch of choice in the sub-tropical South where I grew up (New Orleans). They are plentiful, very attractive and best of all, free to those who go out and rake them up. Most turpentine is found in wood pulp, not in the needles.…

Think gray, for some reason Deer will not eat gray plants. Lamb's ear is a nice plant to put near the stone wall it loves heat and will grow over the edges and will come back every year. Also some Digitalis purpurea (foxgloves) would give you…

Great suggestion Lisa. Thank you. I planted Zinnas in the past but I planted seed and they did not come up and never gave them a second chance. I will plant them indoors this time as starts. I hope to take another picture in the summer and post it.
