Our spring blooms are gone, so it's very nice to see yours!

You know, it's easier for me to post in the mornings before my full days, but I'm really not awake yet, hence double posts. :caf We have an area that gets flooded a lot in late winter rains, I use a single layer of cinderblocks in that area to plant stuff, because they won't float away. Usually...

Ha! I like the playhouse designs! My old garden gate was my pen for my daughter when she was an infant. We used it in sections to enclose the living room. My grandaughters pen is our baby chick coop when they visit the outside before they're released into the chicken house. I think I'm gonna...

I hear you, it doesn't look like particle board though. It was a mid-height bed, not like my daughter's ikea bunk bed. I'm really just trying to use up clutter we have around here, there's random boards, lots of concrete blocks, old beds, etc. Accumulation lol. Anyway, it's like particle board...

So I've an old ikea bed, sans hardware up in the attic, that hasn't seen use in 15 years, since the step up was broken. It doesn't really look like a bed, it looks like a white rectangular box. But I'm toying with the idea of adding paint and nailing it together for a raised bed. Anybody know...

:frow We get too much flooding for a greenhouse. :( Those trees aren't coming down, the branches at eye level and below were trimmed so my youngest doesn't get branches in her eyes when she plays on the hill, it's only about 30 ft side to side. Just enough for play. The one side that would be...

Oh that's a shame, I'm sorry to hear that. So much of local food depends on weather, I guess that's why they started trucking food in to grocery stores. Our wild blackberries spread like crazy, but the ones I plant never last beyond 3 years and never produce very much.

So we have this small hill near the house, with lots of young trees growing on it and lush grass, wildflowers (weeds) and moss growing underneath. It was my oldest daughter's "fairy woods" and now same for my youngest. The trees have lots of branches at eye height though so I thought I'd trim...

Does anyone else have their old people crank come out when people talk about planting stuff to overwinter in zone 7? I'm in zone 7, can't plant any of the stuff they say I can because we get weeks of solid below freezing temps and it's not uncommon to dip into the 4's (farenheit) periodically...

His bales have been sitting for several years, should be fine. Reminds me though of my Grandpa, died back in '93 at 100 yrs old. He used to get yelled at by his kids for patching roofing when he was 98. Mowed twice a week, riding mower, did all upkeep on acre of land in Tampa, picked oranges...

I just realized how FAT that squirrel is. Wow.

:frow Weed growing champ here! I realized that after I said it...garden weeds...not weed.:oops:

As with anything else, moderation. A little bit can be good and there are some plants that need it. Too much though can stunt plants enough to make them useless. Any copper supplement should have directions. If nothing else, treat the soil and plant a cover crop for a season or two.

It's a 10" pot, maybe a foot deep, spaced 3". Doing rainbow carrots for the younguns. The plan is to do a pot every 2 weeks for succession harvests. I've weed barrier cloth under them. Not pretty, but limited bending over required.

Ok, I skipped the bunch in the middle and went straight to this springs posts. Ssshhh. Here's what gets me through winter I've given up in ground gardening and have carrots in a pot and herbs and tomatoes in starts indoors. Planted some daffodils because they will require no more effort and was...
