Summer before last, I buried some large "slices" of apple wood in my heavy soil garden. I was digging holes for the tomatoes, and dug a hole over one of the pieces of wood, and heard the "sucking" sound of digging into wet clay. Yup, that's where there was some wood.

A topic of conversation on the garden thread was the poor/very poor/zero germination rate of seeds this year, and specifically those from Baker Creek.

I blanched and froze some spaghetti squash. Not a fan and won't bother with that again. Even well drained, it's just little bits. I was hoping for noodley stuff for spaghetti night.

Since I wasn't enamored of zucchini last year, I wouldn't have been paying much attention. I'm assuming you froze them unpeeled? How were they when you thawed them? Were they mushy? What did you use them for? I want to grow zukes for making zoodles (zucchini noodles).

The sprawl was one of the things I liked about Bnut squash. It covered a lot of area. I had less and less weeding as the summer went on. :)

Nice! If it is rabbits, they may nibble the new plants. :idunno But your topper should protect them long enough to get a good start, I'd think. When I have old, slightly bent chicken wire or fence to reclaim, I lay it out on the ground or the driveway, curl side down, and walk on it to...

You might be able to plant peas now. They are frost tolerant. :eek::thWhat a BRILLIANT idea!

Wow, what a score! Nice! And good on you for keeping all that out of the landfill. May you make a really nice raised bed out of them. :thumbsup

SCORE!!!!

I have two of the plastic waterers of that style. One leaks, one doesn't. I got the leaky one first, and thought that I kept screwing it on wrong. I got the second one, and it worked just fine. I threw the first one in the recycle bin.

I absolutely LOVE hubby's Dewalt (model #??) miter saw. With that and the drill and driver, I'm good for most of my (really) beginner projects. :)

Yes!

Roughly 3/4 cubic yard apiece. I bet you'll have enough compost to fill all of them with just compost! :gig

What will you do with all that black gold?

Maybe you can get by with one or two bins now? The extra space could be used for, oh I don't know, more pallets? :gig

I had to go get a bib. I was drooling over your compost. :gig

Yeah, hubby has told me that the angle grinder is the most dangerous tool he owns. I haven't tried using it yet. I have him do it and observe. It's one of those special tools, for him. He doesn't use it often, but when needed, it is the best, most efficient tool for the job.

Same here. Another use for pieces that are about 1/2x1 (ish) and several inches long is as a marking stake in the garden. Cut an end on an angle to make it easy to push into the ground.

So true!!

When I plant out my tomato plants, there seems to be SO. MUCH. EMPTY. SPACE. By the end of the season, I can barely walk between the plants or the rows. The same with squash plants. :lau
