Ooohhhh, you have a brick patio. I like brick...a lot & stone too. I have an old soul, I'm not really into modern surroundings.

If you clean out the weeds, find some moss mix it 50⁄50 in a blender with some milk and pour it into the cracks you will have moss growing and not weeds. It looks cool and the weeds don't grow. Todays gardening tip.

Hahaha! Feeling industrious, eh, LC?  Maggot, I've done that with claypots because I like them to look aged.

interesting, i never considered burying the vines. hell, i'd have to dig up the entire yard. they covered at least half an acre.
 South Dakota farmer Kevin Marsh poses with his 1,674lbs pumpkin - named the ugliest at a recent Colorado event. Right, his daughters sit on another giant pumpkin he grew - this one weighing in at 1,536lbs. ------>He says he buries vines as they grow so they get double the amount of roots, and uses a lot of organic fertilizers.

you know those big plastic storage bins? i just nearly filled one with apples from one of my trees, the macs have been very sweet, and they are falling on the ground like leaves, i don't want them all wasted! so now i'm looking at this thing and thinking i am NOT peeling all those little bitches! :bricking:

whooo i have so much parsley i better go cut it today before it freezes. it's really nice, and i prefer it fresh to dried, but it's got to come in. i think i'm going to do some parsley-buttered potatoes.
i dry all my herbs in paper bags, they are perfect. some i tie and hang up. that's IT, end of garden except a few die-hard green peppers. :B

do you garden Tiki?
no apple butter, i get it home-made from a little market. any apples i don't use will go to the deer when the snow covers the ground.

I do garden. Veggies and herbs.
But . . . it's near 90 degrees so winter veggies will have to wait just a little longer. Basil, cilantro, chilis and tomatoes are hanging in there. Fresh citrus is just around the corner - friends and neighbors have trees. Your "peeling apples" story made me smile. I have two apple trees at my house in Colorado. Even after picking, every morning there would be at least a Rubbermaid container full of apples on the ground. This went on for about two weeks! Even the damn deer got tired of them! So I started juicing and used the pulp for apple butter. Talked to the folks who are leasing the place, just the other day. They wanted to know if I knew anyone in the area who wanted apples! |
