I noticed that you have ducks. What kind do you have? We just got 4 chocolate runner ducks. During the day, they stay in my fenced in garden. They seem very very happy there eating garden pests. It's raining hard here tonight and I'm having trouble loading pictures but I was wondering if you've...

Hey @Chickadeedeedee, welcome to the forum! I see you and I are online at the same time. I'll let you get settled in but just wanted to say hi. :)

Are they really a yard long? I've never heard of "yard long green beans".

@rodeogirl that picture just makes me smile! One of my seniors used to have a robins nest next to her door and we'd all walk around it carefully when she had her eggs and babies. :thumbsup

Thanks, @sumi!

Welcome from Alabama! Wow, what a beautiful place, and so perfect with kids! I'll be looking forward to hearing more!

I LIKE you, Reice! :thumbsup Thanks for giving us such a detailed story. And yes, the "stuff" does seem to grow and multiply doesn't it?? I always seem to be giving stuff away and yet there's always more.

Great thread! Thanks @sumi, and also @Lazy Gardener.

Wow! What a great update! :weeeIt's great to hear how well things are going. :thumbsup

Thank you, @sumi!

Good to hear. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Sounds like @CrealCritter will have another Sawyer to talk to! :weeeMeanwhile, we will be able to sit on the sidelines and learn!:clap I do hope you are feeling better soon!

Hi Elwood! I went back and read from the beginning. Wow, you've had ups and downs, but you keep popping back in! Sooo glad to see that. Kentucky is beautiful (and is not too far north of me.) Were you in Portland? My sister is a cardiac cath nurse in a hospital there. We'll be looking forward...

LG, this is a long article but is full of good information. Further down past the information on figs and dried figs, there is information on the fig leaves: https://draxe.com/figs-nutrition/

Have you thought about using a section as an herb garden? You could plant mint, oregano, basil, dill, thyme, marjorim, parsley, sage, rosemary, coriander or ones for salves like comfrey or calendula. You could plant the following for edible seeds: caraway, cumin, poppy, dill, mustard How...

Has anyone here done anything with figs?? I'm just learning some of their benefits. I have a fig tree and access to two more. @Lazy Gardener and @Hinotori and @Britesea,(and anyone else) I could dry some of the leaves if you want to experiment. But I've never done it before so I'll have to...

LG, I haven't even found a place to load them myself. There's a place where they sell them by the truckload for landscaping but it is expensive. They do not have a pile at the county lot or at the dump. The compost at the county lot are composted leaves. Rich and black, but not much worm...

Lol, I should have read this post before I recommended them in the other post. Black eyed peas do great in the HOT summers. Good experienent. You'll be able to make Hopping John! :drool

Black eyed peas do well in summer heat. I think purple hulled peas do too. But all of the plants listed would go all fall. A fun one to do with the kids is peanuts and IIRC all three are good soil amending plants. These and watermelon always did well through the HOT, dry late summers when we...

My son did a job for a man and came home one day with a wood chipper!:weee:celebrate I have tried for the last 2 years to find a source of wood chips (for little or no cost) with no success. I'm super excited to have our own chipper. I'm always picking up branches around here, and we've had a...
