Topic: RE: What do you like to grow??
I bought my place in september and I would describe my land as nothing short of a disaster. I have a master plan but it is about a ten year one. This year I will put pumpkins and cucumbers in the ground. That will be about it for this year.
Take care

Topic: RE: What do you like to grow??
I live in a cold climate so growing season is pretty short...but...I love to grow (or should I say this is what WILL grow on my land) lillies, dahlias, sunflowers, and any annual that I have good luck with over the years. I experiment every year. I try to have a veggie garden every year but time doesn't always allow. Funny how the weeds thrive without so much as a little love and care.....C/
Topic: RE: What do you like to grow??
I love to garden. This year most thing are going to be in pots or planted in straw bales. I am going to plant tomatoes, peppers, okra, lima beans. nasturisiums, and cucumbers, and sunflower seed for the birds and for my beans and cukes to climb up. I started my seed pots a couple of days ago. I hope my grape tomatoes do good they are so yummy. I also forgot I will plant a little squash too. If everything goes good I will have enough to feed the town cause I sure cant eat much. I saw on tv you can use straw bales and cut holes in them put potting soil and grow your plants. It will already be mulched and hold water and look pretty good too. It sure should save on the weeding too, The sunflowers shade out the weeds pretty good too and I will have to reach high to pick my beans. I wont get any sunflower seed as the goldfinches will eat them up but I sure like to watch the goldfinches they are so pretty, I just plant the nastursiums cause they keep the bugs away from my veggies and they do look nice too,

Hi,
I love Dahlias, lavender(I have many plants), roses (I have about 60), lots of hostas, and many other perennials. I also grow tomatos, peppers, pumpkins and gourds every year. The things I am best at growing, tho, are weeds.

I have a 7 acre mini farm. It has tons of wooded areas. I love to grow shade perennials.
Hostas
Astillbe
Pulmanaria
Ferns
Lamium
Solomon seal
I also have many many varieties of Daylilies and Iris.
Every year my DH starts a massive veggie garden which ends up a pile of weeds with lots of tomatoes and peppers in it!

Topic: Tons of Spring Energy
I spent 3 hours yesterday and 1 1/2 hours today working out in the yard! Raking leaves, pulling weeds, plantsing daylilies! And I have energy to spare. I sure wouldn't have felt like this last year!
I told my DH he needs to be in for some lanscaping changes!!!
