A few threads back, someone posted a photo of a caterpillar. It is a black swallowtail butterfly. They love dill and parsley. The monarch is yellow and black striped. https://www.butterfliesathome.com/black-swallowtail-butterfly.htm

Hello. I stopped in when the thread was first created and haven't been responding but do read from time to time. This year, I didn't plant a garden (for the first time in a long while). Next year, I will do the container gardening as suggested. I planted some tomatoes in with my annuals. Which...

Lovely area. I still haven't planted my blueberry bushes yet. How will you keep them in winter?

Well, the vinca is no longer there. I dug it all up along with the grass. ;)

Makes sense. Thanks. If only I had known about vinca when I first started. It is the only flower bed that I have issues with.

I have a flower bed that is better at growing grass than almost anything else. I planted vinca there and it will be the scourge of me. I spent about 3 hours out there and it is only 1/2 done. The weeds got ahead of me due to too much rain or days so hot the dogs would only venture outside for 5...

I have read to plant them by pines, so maybe.

I will see if I can find it. Thanks!

Any advice for blueberry bushes? Just bought some. Thanks!

Mine is a husqvarna. It is huge too. It does a good job, but I am getting tired of my old ways. Time for something new. I am the onky one that tends to any of the gardens here. So, wanting to make it easier on myself. ;)

Oh my. I might have heard it all now! :th Thank you for the tips and idea. I garden now, it is just I am thinking of switching it up. I actually just found space in a flower garden for my tomato and pepper plants. I decided that I didn't research any container ideas and it is getting really...

I grew them one year from plants I think. Pretty prolific. They made a nice salsa Verde. I don't think they were any harder than tomatoes to grow. I just planted, watered, and waited. ;)

Thanks, I read some beginning posts last night. I think I got to page 30. I have got a lot of reading to do. I am thinking some things might get implemented next year as I am short on time right now.

I will. Just didnt have time this morning! :frow

I will look into that! Thanks.

Now, I can finally use those reusable grocery bags that I am always forgetting to use! :) What do you do after growing season is over? Keep the dirt or compost It?

This is pretty cool! Thanks for the tips!

Hi. I haven't read through the whole thread and hate to admit that I am old. But, am considering container gardening to save my back. Any advice? Do I need to use certain soil? I am just used to tilling a section and doing back breaking work for some rewards at the end of summer. Thanks!
