Carol there is a salution when you cut the tree down that you put in the stump, first you need to drill several holes in the stump and pour the salution in the holes and it's supposed to kill the roots. I have never used it but I have heard about it…

Here is a current picture of the interior of my greenhouse. You can see in the picture the three quarter crushed stone and the walking aisles have the snap together grid panels. My stone base is about 6 inches.
I live in Oklahoma too (Owasso). I started off using sand with patio blocks down the middle in my greenhouse. But about 4 years ago I converted the entire floor to patio blocks. I think it helps with the heat in the winter and cuts down on weed grow…

- Thank you Freddy. I have been trying to do that all week and finally got to him late yesterday. He gave me all June bearing berries and said that's all that was on the list. I want to have an everbearing berry so I guess I will go with the Ozark Beauty. And the Allstar June bearing berry.

Freddy J. Hill said… - William, call your county extension office, ask for fact sheet 6214, Growing Strawberries in the Home Garden. It will list all the varieties for here, how to grow them and when they produce. Hope this helps you.

- If it ever warms up to where my bones can handle it outside I will pull some weeds out of my beds to get ready for spring planting. Then I want to get out in the nut orchard and dig about 20 holes for planting Chestnut trees.

- Greenhouses are great; it just depends how warm you need to keep them. Give me a shout sometime if you need to discuss anything.

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…
