Does anyone out there have any idea as to what…

I have so many wonderful native plants growing on our property that I have been digging up some of them and potting them up in hopes that I may be able to sell some on craigslist come next spring. I was shocked to see that the yellow Jasmine that grows in abundance here cost up to $12 for a small pot at the local nursery. I also have started my own sago's from seed (around 20 or so), I have to keep them in an area where the dogs cannot get at them as they are highly poisonous. I have airplane… Continue

Today is June 21 2009, Fathers day (oops I forgot) as well as the first official day of Summer.

Summer in my area actually arrived some time ago and we have been patiently waiting for the calender to catch up. Today I have been out doing my usual Sunday puttering, it is my favorite day of the week as it allows me the most time to spend in the garden.

I have FINALLY potted my herbs into larger pots, the Lavender, Lemon Thyme, Sweet Basil, and Globe Basil are all very happy in their new… Continue

I live and breath plants and winter kills me. Last winter killed 90 percent of my plants and I am a just started, wanted to die. I'm covering the little I have left, what a pain.

Mine did that and bent the hinge section; need to slide it off and try to re-align it. My floor is gravel, 3/8 inch. I placed a few large flagstones in front of the sill to keep the gravel out of the tracks. I also have a brick landing outside the door. A recent hail storm cracked a panel or two, but many neighbors got hail all the way through their houses. Will chat back later.
