Gardening 2017: Fruits, Veggies, Flowers

[pbear]

That sounds like the chorus to a blues song.
"This spitting rain is getting me down. So I'm sitting here"

[Queen K]

Pull out the banjos.
I ended up crash and burn for an hour and half.
Headed outside now.

For various reasons I shan't be working in the garden any time soon :(

However, I found this http://thinkaboutnow.com/2017/04/grow-perfect-tomatoes-best-practices-from-the-pros/

Interesting but that's a lot of work! Fish heads? Blech...

[Queen K]

Lady t! What's up? Ttyl????

[pbear]

I'm in for lunch. I like working in this hazy weather but my feet are soaking and the grass is long enough to hide a cow.
A warning for new gardeners: never buy anything with the words vigorous or running or quick spreading. Don't ask me how I know.

[Queen K]

What did you buy?

I suffer the same fate as I am pulling out xeriscape plants all time to make room for what I really want.

I'm going to take a lot of this article to heart, sans fishheads. I'm with Slootman on this one.

Me too!

I'm trying to locate some "fish meal" which they say you can use instead . . .

[Queen K]

You all know about that one small project right? Small turns into "the project that ate Manhatten."

I've got that now. And pink tulips are blooming. And five rescue parrot tulips. And gorgeous orange and yellows. Who wants to stop in after work> We'll be here, filthy dirty from projects, but here. Bman, if you're down this way, stop in for a viz, k?

System coming in, sun is gone, tulips are closing up. The pink ones like the sun. Picky.

[Queen K]

It's unbelievably nice out side today. The coolness is helping us get stuff done and sorted and planted.
And with a little luck, the Subaru will be gone today too.

[Bubalouie]

Dam raccoon , got the hummingbird feeder last night.

[Queen K]

Drank the whole thing?

[Lady tehMa]

Hopefully not broken!

This weekend has lots to do,
