I have not grown that before. Thanks for the tips! I can't grow lavender. I think it is so pretty.

I did not know that Fla had elevations of 200 ft. Buried?? Basement? No one in my area has a basement I'm aware of. Dig too far you hit water. I would love a basement!

Looks great! Must be happy! I'm growing butternut squash this year for the first time. Mine is up and growing but no bloom yet. My other squash are blooming. I love to hear the bees happily buzzing in those big blooms.

Send the rest to me! :p

I'll be swimming before you. We're at about 50-60 ft above sea level. If that map showed NC, yep swimming. Before that happens I need to switch to ducks!

Cuties! :love

Just a show of dominance. I have a hen that will do this if I do not have a rooster with them. She takes over as head hen. Wow! They are growing!

Thank you! Still sort of new to growing garlic. I've only grown hard necks one time. The scrapes were yummy! Bulbs were small? Could have been me? It's already getting hot here. Mine had started to lay down. Then 2 days of rain when I had time to dig. I was pleased it didn't rot.

I watered flowers and picked blueberries today. I got my garlic dug this week. I decided to plant too late to order so I just picked up some grocery store soft neck. It was planted last Oct. I think it did okay. Some got pretty big. I noticed my banana tree had a bloom. It's never bloomed...

Did his cell phone look like this? My first one was similar, more like a purse. :gig That thing worked even out in the boonies. Never dropped a call.

Yesterday I ran another row of trellising on the tomatoes. I had to stand on a milk crate this time. That will be as high as I trellis. Any taller they will flop over and keep going. I'm only 5 ft tall! :lol: You can see in the photo my potato foliage is dying back. Will be digging these...

Would maybe wrapping the threads with pipe tape help fill the difference? If needed add a bit of caulk? Or plumbers putty?

Thank you! DH and a buddy built the tree for me and supplied the bottles (beer). 😂 Cobalt blue is a favorite color of mine too. I have several junk pieces, some vases and stuff and an early 1900s med bottle I bought for 50 cents at a garage sale. I love the way sunlight hits them in the...

Naturally acid soil. Most hydrangeas react to the acidity of the soil. Because our soil is so acid I do not do anything special and they are deep blue. The hard part for me is if I want pink. I'd have to use a lot of lime and do it each year. Determined to have a pink one at least 1 time in...

Beautiful garden @StinkyAcres Hydrangea and the bottle tree The iris in front have finished blooming. Behind them are tall phlox that will bloom soon. They are shades of pink, purple and white.
