Hi! I'm very curious about why it's important to turn the soil over in veggie pots? Is that for a flavor difference or because of pests?
Thanks! I'm just about to go to Lowe's for the whiskey barrel, but I'll be checking out the terra cotta pots/bamboo poles as well.

I use large terra cotta pots for runner beans (w/ large bamboo poles) and for tomatoes. I have found that to have good vegetables, the soil needs to be turned over on a regular basis, and a whiskey barrel is too big for that (at least for me). I use…
I am revamping my front yard garden, specifically the long section the runs in front of my home. It's been flowers and bushes, but I am taking nearly everything out (replanting it elsewhere) to make a Lasagna garden. This is the year I'll be making…
Last summer, I planted basil (among other herbs) in a medium sized (plastic) terra cotta pot. It was outdoors until fall, when I moved it to our sunny LR window. I've used up all the basil, but will definitely plant more as my basil seeds grow. Cila…
Our youngest son, still at home, just finished making me an herb 'trough' using concrete samples from his wood shop (they make concrete countertops as well - these were color samples). He used epoxy to put the squares & rectangles together, and even…

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…
