It pains me too when I have definite plans, then volunteer plants from last year wreck my plans! Maybe they sense I can't bear to destroy them, LOL!
While weeding 6 weeks or so ago, I found many little tomato plants where I had planted beets and basil, also found some chives that had spread out...
Here are mine - they are Sorels, of all things! I bought these because they had a deal a couple years ago, don't remember exactly but I needed to get some heavy winter boots, and they had a buy one/get another for 25? 30? 50%? off and I needed some sneakers, too.
I believe these are the...
Same thing as TT. TT might have an influence on public opinion (among some demographics) but for the Chinese government, that's just to identify and influence the latest trends.
They don't necessarily care what each of us do or buy, or where we go on the internet, as individuals, because just...
Agree absolutely, they do. I use Safari as well, and get the same messages.
But at least their tracking is aimed at targeting ads to me to sell me more products, not to steal my credit-card information, SS# to get into my banking app, and do the same to whatever random people I do business...
It's probably not the right time to plant blueberries? Depending on what your summer weather is like. Maybe create some shade for them while getting your soil in shape? I know mine appreciate partial shade, and my summers in the PNW are not as hot as yours in Iowa.
Agree, I don't trust Temu and will never order from them. I think they're affiliated with the Chinese government (not sure, do your own research) but they're always putting advertisements on my phone, every one of their products are Chinese-made, and most of their positive reviews sound fake.
I...
Exactly, because health care in the USA is done by management committees now! Not actual doctors, because doctors are just useful pawns in the For-Profit "health-care" industry.
I definitely don't blame the doctors (some might be clueless, but not the majority, I believe) they're just forced to...
I'm near your area, and did the same today with my spinach. Pulled up all the bolters and gave them to the chickens, still have a few to salvage, blanch and freeze.
Also did the same with my tomatoes! I usually start them out with poles and a low tie of baling twine for support, then add more...
Great advice, thank you! Are they still OK in the garden in their own pots just for the time being, though? My intention is to plant them in late fall, along the outside fence line, where I tried other trees that didn't grow - about 150 feet from the garden and 75 feet from other fruit trees...
Sueby, I just want you to know, here in the PNW I'm growing the second generation of Dahlias from the ones you sent me last year. Got so many new corms, I gave them an extra bed, and they're all growing great. I can't wait for them to start blooming in a couple months!
Thank you so much, these...
Typical superstar gardener you are! When faced with success, grow more of the same, but when faced with failure, make the garden bigger and better, and grow more!
Another thing to consider, what fruits or veggies do you and your family like to eat that are expensive to buy or not available at all, in the store? Usually you can find some variety that grows well in your climate, so why spend the work and use up space in the garden to grow things that are...
I'm trying a new variety of broccoli this year: I've never had much luck getting broccoli or cauliflower to grow from seedlings, so I kind of gave up on them. But a few weeks ago, I was going home a different way and passed a "plant sale" sign, so of course I had to stop. The farmer had...
Thanks! Good to see you too! I've been busy with family issues in November,then Christmas, then hibernating...but I did manage to dig up and preserve the Dahlia bulb beauties you sent me, which have multiplied for even more beauties this year!
Same here! I've barely read and haven't responded to my favorite discussion here, since late October, early November. Winterized most but not all, of my beds, mostly been hibernating.
Been cranking out the applesauce, every time I empty the crockpot I immediately fill it up again. Also pickled the final cukes, 5 pints of sweet and sours.
Still have a lot more beds to winterize, but got one planted with garlic and covered with leaves.
We had 2 days of hard frost, so my...
Oh wow, I've been debating buying one of these for awhile, but couldn't justify the price - but this is a super deal, and Mr. Dog has a Home Depot card!
