What did you do in the garden today?

[LindaB220]

Linda, so sorry to hear about the loss of Aimee.  Glad you're happy where you are.  You can do a lot to satisfy the gardening urge with containers.  Check out hay bale or straw bale gardening, also.  Any option for even a mini coop/tractor with a couple of hens, or even a few bantams?  

Thanks Sweetie, appreciate it. Yes I will be happy up here. We have a big deck that has tons of space in the sun. I'm really interested in medicinal herbs.

....I could be all envious and all... 

But instead, being the goodhearted soul that I am, I choose to be happy for you people that have things other than alligators.   

I would love to hunt alligator....I'll probably be envious when is 20 below

The alligators are easier to catch when it is below 20, Phil.
gator pops.

 

[LittleLakePhil]

Yeah....that's the ticket.....gator pops

I'm sorry not doing all that much I'm my garden now...hunkering down for winter. Chris is still canning carrots...we got a bunch this year.I bet 50 lbs....it took 2 , of us to carry the full tote into the house.And that was just carrots she topped them as she picked them. One thing I did different this year was I grew my potatoes in straw. Just dug trenches dropped seed potatoes in and filled them with straw and a little soil mixed in. We got a good 200 lbs of potatoes this year. And didn't have to dig much to harvest them.They just grew right on the straw.

I had my best year picking mushrooms this year....them little black morels are so tasty.....a friend of mine took me and showed me some real good spots...I have her some fresh fish.

Sounds like a wonderful exchange. I've asked friends to take me fiddle headding, but no one will! Too closely guarded secret!

 

[LittleLakePhil]

Oh fiddle heads rock...I go out my back door and pick all I want...they kinda remind me of green beans...yummy
...come to Michigan and pick all you want...haha

 

[lazy gardener]

Will you actually show me your FH spot? Do you have black flies there?
