planting zones garden

i get so much therapeutic feelings working in my garden. i like weeding. it gives me somethin to do. and to see a clean garden with no weeds symbolizes sobriety. plus it gives me something to do. and watching the plants grow. nurturing something is rewarding.

me neither..I love the summer really but I like the spring...I am tired of the white stuff...I can't wait to see all my plants come back to ifee and start popping out of thee ground..i love to sit on my deck and have my morning shot of caffeine with my pooch and listen to the birds with the sun on my face..peaceful..quiet and tranquil... I love watching things wake up n the spring..my hubby also has a veggie garden..he loves planting ..

As I did, I had a thought. This garden is going to be like me. That garden plot was a big pile of weeds these past few seasons. Because I would make excuses about being to busy to do the work. So as I recover and reap the benefits of my sobriety so I will reap the benefits of our garden. ;) It's all about perceptive and a positive attitude!

18 days to spring equinox, just cleaned out the garden beds of winter mulch. Waited for rain to wet the leaves and started a new compost pile for 2015 gardens. Chicken pen is cleaned out and mixed in the like. I pulled the rotting heirloom fruit from last fall and am trying the seeds. We props gated some sage and thyme as we cut them back. I'm saving the salvia officianalis to harvest first spring growth to dry for winter. It's time to make potting soil and clean some prolongation trays.

I ordered some plants on line and I have decided to add a HOPE garden as well. The hope garden will be for hummingbirds and butterflies, the memorial garden will be mostly roses.

Oh I have plans this spring too, my DD wants to have a garden and then do some canning in the fall,....so I am so looking forward to planting all sorts of things....flowers are on my list as well.

I was just wondering with the current economic conditions who is planting a garden this year? If you are what are you planting and how many will it feed and for how long? If you are not, why not? I would really like to hear from both sides on this one. My family always had a garden when I was growing up and my Mom and Grandmas would can and/or freeze veggies. These would last us almost a year and cut the cost down considerably.

winner, thanks for the heads up. We are planting this weekend, a bigger garden than I ever imagined planting. Hope it doesn't kill me LOL. I was gonna buy Preen for weed control but my friend at the greenhouse sold me a 20 lb bag of corn gluten which is what the garden Preen is. More for the money, lots more. Hubby's adult kids are are supposed to help, we'll see how much help I get. Girls, I got 2 new stepables today, I will get some pics soon.

We cannot say if this is definitely what he has eaten but blood tests and and an xray have ruled out diseases or a blockage. He was having a good rummage around my parents garden and may have eaten some soil containing pellets from last years planting. He is a 10 month old jack russell/border terrier cross. He has been off his food and vomiting for 2 days now.

and if the weather is decent March 7th her garden will be dedicated that day, the new building is almost reardy to move into, planting will begin as soon as we can. Maybe some of you remember that we had a flood that took out most of our downtown and many blocks surrounding the area, the building that Les and I worked with was destroyed, will get some pics posted as the work progresses.

I could use some help in knowing when and how to transplant differant plants I find geranniums easy I want to do a bourganvillia and an oleander...I have made a rock garden and with hit and miss planting made it look really nice I have never grown herbs ..its sounds great .I have bunny ears plants again I know nothing about them .I am so glad others are coming here now .

Anyway, we had a really warm day so I started clearing rocks out of the places where I want to garden. Oh my goodness! There are so many rocks and I have no clue what to do with them all? They're ugly, too (like cement, just a white-grey). Some are so large I have to roll them. So my first question is- what do you do with rocks from your yard? Second, HELP ME! I have no idea and no inkling of how to garden. I don't even know all that I want to plant.

) My husband and I went after church and picked out some flowers for my hanging baskets. It was so fun planting them and being out in the sun. We also got veggies for my garden so I can plant those this week. Im excited for next weekend to be able to put in a patio under our tree :) It will be lots of work but we are moving a bunch of slate to crate a little seating area. Just nice to have some warm weather finally to be out in and get a little sun.

I love gardening! But it's still too cold for one here :( Hopefully in a couple of weeks though, which would be pretty good timing. Do you grow vegetables or flowers? I love to grow my own food, but I have flowers also. I can't wait for warm weather!

And the flowers blooming, and planting another veggie garden. ALways do a veggie garden every year! My kids love to help w/ the garden- all stages of it. Im also looking forward to going out and playing w/ my boys in the yard without having to bundle them up in snowpants bibs, coats, hats, mittens, boots and changing them constantly cuz they get soaking wet from snow!! Yep, Im officiallly read for spring here, too! You wont catch me wishing for anymore snowstorms!

Employees constructed a new farm stand for selling produce, large swathes of land were primed for spring planting, irrigation was added to the farm’s orchard and they created an outdoor teaching facility where students can learn about the science of food and how to prepare healthy meals. They also improved the food storage and packing area, building and furnished an entirely new facility. An estimated $380,000 was donated in material and labor to the 11-acre Sunnyvale, Calif.

I feel ya, swampy. We've tried planting catnip several times, but neighbor cat and Jade roll all over it and destroy it so it never matures, lol...

Sign up online to get some catalogs from nurseries - they always start arriving in January, which is the perfect time to dream about warm weather. Look for plants that can be grown in zones 3 or 4. That means they will be winter hardy for your area. You can also see some growing ideas for your area at www1.umn.edu/webdd/plants/index.html Gardening is one of the best things I find to unwind - I hope you enjoy it too.

My mom says that her Osteoarthritis does NOT cause her hands to become red, hot, and swollen every morning. She says they become stiff, swollen, and painful. I just read elsewhere that her symptoms are typical of osteoarthritis...mine are not. In fact, the article said that red and hot are not signs of osteoarthritis at all, but they could be symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, major organs shutting down, allergies, etc. My doctor looked at my hands one day and said that I had osteoarthritis...
