Good selection, pollination should not be a problem. Sadie would approve..Tip, first year there are a few blossoms, pollination can be improved by taking an artist paint brush and act like a bee by brushing the inside of the few blossoms to maximize…
There are several veggies you can plant now. onions, cabbage,broccoli, lettuce, swiss chard, potatoes,cauliflower, bok choy, peas as well as others. Go for it!!
Is your roto tiller a Wheel Horse or similiar? If it is, I have done an area larger than this and roto tilled several times, lowering the depth as I went along. Wait a few days and till again. I had a great bgarden enriched by this green manure and…
BT is a powder that is organic and stops chewing insects by attacking their digestion. Great for the cole crops.
Acidic is good but not too. When you move them you should cut them back to 4-5 inches and let them get reestablished. This can take a year or two to get back to full production. A basic 10-10-10 is good. Or use Hollytone acidic fertilizer if your so…
Ph is critical, as they need an acidic soil. Also be diligent about weeding, a mulch will be beneficial. Rabbits can be destructive in the winter if you have these critters in your garden area. Hopefully you have at least two different varieties as…
I have successfully grown peppers for 40 years. however the last two years finds my plants growing OK, but they drop their bottom leaves and set little, if any, fruit. Anyone have any ideas?

- Have you planted them in the same spot? The soil may be depleted in the nutrients they need - plant green beans there this year - they add nitrogen and other goodies to the soil through their roots.

Oh my! Your yard looks like something I'd see in a magazine! Great job!
Well I have several sources of water, 3 bird baths and our waterfall in our pond. Never had this problem before. I have always had hummers. Just wondering if the winter weather we had messed them up. Oh well maybe next year.
pretty!

Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…
i love this kitty pic!
Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
