RE: how does your garden grow? - Duchess - 10-08-2010 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. RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 10-08-2010 it's just a little walkway. i love brick and stone. my Dad made a stone fireplace in our home that was beautiful. but the weeds grow up between the bricks. i had to laugh today, one area where i throw out wild bird food i have corn plants coming up! haha did you see this photo of the stone fence? i know you like those, so do i~~ RE: how does your garden grow? - Maggot - 10-08-2010 I love your porch!

I use it on my bricks/stone and it works great. You'll find it at places like Lowes & Home Depot. RE: how does your garden grow? - Maggot - 10-09-2010 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. RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 10-09-2010 right. directly after i wax and polish the driveway. RE: how does your garden grow? - Duchess - 10-09-2010 Hahaha! Feeling industrious, eh, LC? Maggot, I've done that with claypots because I like them to look aged.

RE: how does your garden grow? - Duchess - 10-09-2010 RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 10-09-2010 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. RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 10-13-2010 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: so i ordered this peeler thingy from williams-sonoma a few minutes ago. going to be some apple pies around here! RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 10-21-2010 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 RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 11-05-2010 local evil cat~~ faceoff---squirrel v. cat v. pumpkin RE: how does your garden grow? - BlueTiki - 11-05-2010 (10-13-2010, 04:25 PM)Lady Cop Wrote: i am NOT peeling all those little bitches! :bricking: WHAT? NO juice OR apple butter? RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 11-05-2010 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. RE: how does your garden grow? - BlueTiki - 11-05-2010 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! RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 11-05-2010 i'm so glad another gardener is here! :B i love my kitchen herbs. just go out and snip what you want fresh. so obviously you are in a different zone, i just picked the last green peppers and it's done for the winter now. |
