They love, love, love the grapevines, virginia creeper and roses.... I hate to even say it, but they don't seem as bad this year...

The problem with the torch idea, is that it does kill the micro-organisms in the soil... I would pull them and add them to the compost pile, or feed them to the chickens. I think the nitrogen issue is resolved, once you have mature plants. Happy Gardening!

I would love to try and make fruit roll ups. I have a dehydrator- but no solid tray... Is it possible?

Ahh, the good old days!!

I had some customers pick the only 3 apples on a little apple tree. I knew it was humans, since only a bite or two were taken- and then the remaining part was tossed on the ground! Ugh!

Dh converted a leaf blower for this purpose. Gas powered, so no cords. Oh yes, it surely does work on the Japanese Beetles!!

I had them digging under my fence around the pumpkin patch. I took human hair (swept up from a barber shop) and lined the perimeter of the fence with it. It has worked, for a month, so far... It is not the most attractive thing- but if your gardens aren't right out front- it works! Congrats...

Yes, that one. I love growing birdhouse gourds! I forgot you were growing loofa- can't wait to hear the report on that!

Everything looks great! I love, love that trellis... Is that for cukes?

I ran across a small plant, at our local flower show. I planted it under one of my new apple trees. They claim, since the comfrey root is so long- it bring nutrients to the surface, so that the apple tree can make use of them...Also, the as the leaves die- they make excellent compost under the...

I still haven't fixed all mine...tomorrows another day! Good luck!

A roller coaster, it is! It shouldn't be too late for you to plant beans...I'll put in my second crop, when I pull the garlic- in another couple of weeks. Congrats on the big win!

That is what I was thinking freemotion. I will wait and combine them with meaty soup bones, in the fall. I am happy not to waste them...

Since making my big mistake- too much fruit, I have learned a lot! On the paperwork in the sure-jel, it says you can just mix grape juice into your too firm jam- and it will thin out...Good luck! At least you didn't do it with 22 quarts of strawberries!

Oh, great! Thanks so much for posting those calendula! I can't wait to get started! My flowers are just beginning to have a few blossoms on them!

A friend brought me a giant bag of human hair, from the barbershop. I am sure it wouldn't keep big predators out- but it has kept the woodchuck from digging under the fence in my pumpkin garden...Can't get Dh to do the pee thing!!

Oh how I love YouTube- thanks for posting that! That is a really cool use for a swimming pool- regardless of what you think of the future! I was kind of disappointed they were eating Ramen noodles...

I picked organic this year, at a friends one acre field. The berries were perfect- I did not see any bug damage at all. The leaves were uneaten. I don't notice anything bothering my plants in the home garden either...I just don't get it. Every article you read- says eat more fruits and...

Thanks everybody!! I knew there had to be something to do with them!

I had heard this awhile ago. It seems to me, by the time those carrots are processed into that cute size and I buy them in the store-the nutritional value has got to be just about nil...I grow my own baby carrots- plant your seed close together and when you thin them out, you will have adorable...
