lots of Sedum to choose from.

Welcome Rose! The best advice I can give you is to go simple, take your time, and don't be afraid to kill stuff. :) You should also grab a paper and pen and come up with a list of all the things...

I've been told this works for veggie gardening - not sure if it's transferable to fruit trees, but its worth a shot. Basically, take used dryer sheets, dump a tablespoon or two of cayenne pepper in...

Is there a variety of tomato that you're planting this year that's new to you? If so, what kind? I've got a total of about 32 tomato plants in (various) - 2 of those are Brandywine which I'd never...

Depending on how many Grape Hyacinths you're starting with, you may want to consider digging the bulbs out at some point (maybe after they're done blooming and die off this year?) That way, you know...

Hi Ariel,

I could be wrong, but based on what I'm seeing, these look like Grape Hyacinth to me. They're pretty much bullet proof. They'll spread too. They're usually one of the first things to...

Hey, good to have you here! That sounds like a very nice container garden project you've got going there. Hope you harvest a bunch! I'm in MI so we've got a little bit before we can safely get...

Nice! That's good news Cody. Looking forward to seeing some pics. Hope it takes off for you! :)

I think a gift certificate to an online seed company or garden supply place would be a great gift! OR.. if he has a favorite local nursery that he goes to, you could get a gift certificate from...

I agree wholeheartedly, s8vm632! We don't have "rain barrels" per say, but we do collect the water that runs off of our garage (which is quite a lot) into a couple metal wash tubs and some empty 5...

hmmm....

Favorite flowers = probably my red lilies in the front bed. Same color as our front door. They grow more beautiful every year. Can't wait to see them again in the spring.

I go the simple route too. I've save squash, bell peppers (various colors), and green bush bean seeds. I keep them sealed up in an envelope and keep them down in the basement pantry. It is cool...

To me, there's nothing more relaxing than working in my garden with bare feet. I get super dirty, but that's ok. Sometimes, if I've been at it for a while, the wifey will bring me out a glass of...

Yan - cinder blocks are excellent materials for raised beds. Good for you for not letting them go to waste. I made a couple of raised beds this past spring from some inexpensive pine boards. I...

If the hose is securely attached and water running, the only thing I can think of is that there may be an air leak somewhere in the bottle or seal. But if water is indeed spraying out, then it...

Welcome Sunshine! Glad to have you here. Just dig right in! :D

The wife and I have a ton of green tomatoes as well. We're planning on making up a batch of hot green salsa this week for canning. There are lots of different recipes on the web. Ours contains:
...

we're definitely a mango family. DELICIOUS! The only downside for me is having to pick the fibers out from between my teeth afterward. Being from Michigan, we're also big on apples. There are...

Curious as to how everyone's herb and veggie gardens have done this year. Was there a veggie that's been giving you higher than expected yields this season?

For me, I was very pleased (as always)...

When they broke apart, did a faint dark cloud appear? Almost like brown smoke? If so it could be a fungus spore. Be careful not to breathe that stuff in. If you've had fungus problems your garden...

Steel live-traps are usually pretty effective, and are a pretty humane approach. Just be sure to wash your hands with soap and water, and wear latex gloves when setting them. That way you're less...

Hi Enix,

I find it's a lot easier if I pull them every time I mow, or every time I'm out there watering. The roots actually come out a lot easier if I pick while I'm watering. I usually just...

I don't know that I've ever seen one that full/flowing. My first reaction is to prune prune prune in order to see some of the lovely limbs underneath, but... what you've got here is unique. I see...

You might want to look up a company called Agritek Industries in Holland, MI. They make something called the Wolverine Grape Trellis. Not sure how expensive they are, but they look like the real...
