I'll bet you are, after 6 years, k. I can't imagine you without a garden to tend. But why are you moving?
Littlek--
Brecht's had no catch.
I've read the Gurney catalogue closely and while their prices seem a little higher than the last time I read their catalogue closely (which was several years ago) the prices are not out of line.
Michigan Bulb says upfront: Spend $20, get $20 more free.
One of my Spanish onions in the onion basket is sprouting, as are the Yukon Gold potatoes stored under the counter.
Ice storms are forecast.
msolga - the owners are selling the place....
noddy - can you put the sprouters someplace colder so they slow down?
So, there will be no gardening of any sort for Ms. K this summer?
Maybe at my sister's or parents' places.
I will plant a hosta in your honor.
I shall call it Kris.
Yippee!
You like the hostas, huh?
Damn right. I have thousands.
Anything else in the garden?
Of course. I do regret planting echanacia and black-eyed susans since they are now like an invading army, destroying everything in their path. I had to cull the herd of them several months back.
Pulling them up by the roots?
Yep, tossed them into the compost pile.
Why? Did you want some?
Uhoh, when you tossed them in the compost, did you take off the flowers?
I've heard you should to keep the seed from sprouting after you spread the compost.
I guess I should have been a little clearer. I have several compost areas. The one I threw this stuff in is mainly where old plants, weeds, extra dirt, leaves, that sort of thing go. I use it for fill on other areas of my property and if some flowers come up in the process I consider it a bonus.
So...... not to worry.
