September 2006, 02:50:53 Subject: Re: Chat Foxy Lady: We can still plant stuff here. I'm doing some research on what to plant in the fall. I'm talking about shrubbry and flowering things (as a barrier between properties). I have a lot to learn because I really don't bother knowing about plants and other growing things. I'm going to do my first every cherry tree pruning in a few weeks too ;) 1. September 2006, 02:49:16 Subject: Re: Chat  Foxy Lady: Mary Mary quite contary oops! Still getting tomatoes but not half as many as last year. If I knew how to post a pic of the garden via a link to here I would. Anyone any ideas how to do it? 1. September 2006, 00:45:38 Subject: Chat Ok chat is allowed no jokes or poems there are boards for that.Of course if your in an area and still your garden is growing do tell us. 1. September 2006, 00:43:29 Subject: Summers Gone Looks like our gardens are done this year.We droped to 49 last nite.Brrrrrrrrrrr i had to turn the heat on.:( 24. August 2006, 19:05:37 Subject: Herbs 24. August 2006, 04:35:56 Subject: Re: Texas 24. August 2006, 03:59:20 Subject: Texas  I'd really still like to know if anyone here can tell me more about the flora in southern Texas near Corpus Christie 24. August 2006, 03:43:22 Subject: Re: Texas Dolittle: Whoopsie so much talk of Texas and all of ya going.I thought for some reason you lived there. 23. August 2006, 05:12:50 Subject: Re: Texas  ajtgirl: I don't live in Texas but used to live in the central part. One ground cover that thrives there for me was yarrow!! 23. August 2006, 03:19:29 Subject: Re: Texas Thanks for the info I'll look into it skipinnz! 23. August 2006, 03:16:16 Subject: Re: Texas skipinnz: ajtgirl, just noticed spelling could be "grevillia or grevillea" the one I'm talking about is spelt with an "e". 23. August 2006, 03:07:51 Subject: Re: Texas ajtgirl:Well it's native to Australia, and there are a lot of different varities and cultivars. It does extremelly well in high temp, poor soil & low rainfall areas. 23. August 2006, 02:53:34 Subject: Re: Texas skipinnz: Why do you think grevillia would do well there? I believe it is part of the gypsophilia family (commonly known as baby's breath) Can it withstand extreme heat, high humidity and very little rain? 23. August 2006, 01:59:22 Subject: Re: Texas ajtgirl:A ground cover that would surive is grevillia (sp) 23. August 2006, 01:10:19 Subject: Re: Texas Mousetrap: You are correct I actually grew up in West Texas where they grew cotton, corn, sorghum, and cattle LOL But southern Texas is very different. It's practically tropical and arid and I wonder if one can grow daffodils and tulips there at all without the dormant winter period. Also, what type of ground covers thrive in that heat? 23. August 2006, 01:06:32 Subject: Re: Texas ajtgirl: I believe Cotton is the best thing to grow in Texas lol! Oh and Peacon trees! 22. August 2006, 19:46:11 Subject: Re: Texas ajtgirl: Dolittle might she lives in Texas 22. August 2006, 14:56:49 Subject: Texas My sister has just bought some property in Rockport, Texas near Corpus Christie She has lots of gardening questions that I cannot answer Does anyone here know the area well? 20. August 2006, 07:22:06 Subject: Summers Ended For us anyways our garden is just about cleaned out.We have a very short Summer in Central NY.Were heading into Fall and its fun with all the fairs going on.I'm sure not looking towards Winter tho. 15. August 2006, 23:40:45 Subject: Re: garden discoveries Foxy Lady: ty foxy its really a delicious veggie... 12. August 2006, 22:34:44 Subject: Re: skipinnz: Neither we fry them yummy.I love green tomatoes fried,first we batter them. 12. August 2006, 22:05:49 Subject: Re: Foxy Lady:Do you turn your green tomatoes into pickels or relish? 12. August 2006, 05:09:25 Looks like Fall is on it's way were dropping down into the 40's now.We got our garlic drying and most of the garden picked except some tomatoes.I did get lots of beet greens and little beets .Guess we need to work that area better since the soil is clay.12. August 2006, 05:05:24 Subject: Re: garden discoveries nobleheart: I looked up your spinach since i stir fry alot and found this. http://www.foodsubs.com/Greenckg.html 8. August 2006, 21:00:06 Subject: garden discoveries discovered this veggie this weekend,thanks to some japanese friends: Chinese spinach = hiyu = hon-toi-moi = yin choy = een choy = amaranth = hsien tsai Notes: This is similar to spinach, only it's prettier, tastier, and more nutritious.tastes maybe a litle like asparagus.Look for it in Asian markets. 8. August 2006, 15:51:55 Subject: Re: Black Walnuts amandalove: I agree with what skipinnz said about drying them. My Dad would spread them on a screen for air circulation until the outer skin dried. Then they can be handled and cracked. They really are quite good! 8. August 2006, 14:26:30 Subject: Re: Black Walnuts 8. August 2006, 04:55:58 Subject: Re: Black Walnuts amandalove:Juglens nigra is mainly grown for timber, but nuts are edible, most people grow the european walnut for the nuts. They are worth the effort, as a mature tree will produce quite a few kilograms of nuts. Once the fiberous skin rots off they need to be air dried for a few weeks. Then cracked ready to eat & there shouldn't be any staining if they are dried properly 8. August 2006, 04:36:53 Subject: Black Walnuts  I have a black walnut tree in my yard that is mature enough to have the nuts. Several people have said oh just leave them for the squirrles they are messy to work with and get brown stain everywhere when you try and crack them. My Question is "Doese anyone here have personal experience with them? And is it just as they say not worth the effort? 7. August 2006, 01:17:30 Subject: Re: my pond:) BerniceC: I love Garden Ponds hmmmmmm you gave me an idea. 6. August 2006, 18:05:57 Subject: Re: my pond:) Modified by ajtgirl (8. August 2006, 23:23:50) BerniceC: Ponds are so peaceful with the trickle of the water going in the background. I'm sure you will love it. Invite Mousetrap over sometime and he can use it as a swimming pool!    << < 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 > >> |
