I feel like a slacker, not jumping out of bed to water. The rain the last couple days has made my life so much easier. For now!

you are so lucky - we barely got anything Sunday (0.3") and yesterday not a drop... all went JUST slightly north of us.  Ugh.   BTW - since you use rain barrels - wondered your opinion on so... more »

For the first time in my life, I'm watching an old dog slowly drift away. My only other dog died suddenly...by a car... I don't know if she will make it thru the summer. Should I bury her in my garden that she loved so much?

Harvested beets today. Dinner tonight is hamhocks and beet greens. Love when my yard feeds me.

I came home from work to find all of my cucumber plants dried up and dead. I wish I knew what I did wrong.

Does anyone plant Egyptian walking onions? Are they invasive?
puckamok replied 12 months ago
I planted some last year and it seems like they could creep along but I think it takes a year for them to take each step. Easy enough to dig up or lay over where you would prefer them to grow. 
JMTKMS replied 12 months ago
The Stonecottagefarm... has this type of onion, and I am convinced that I would like to get some for next year.  They are really cool.  I do not believe they are to invasive, as the seed (sets) a... more »

We planted Egyptian walking onions three years ago. I started with three small clumps of them that I got from a neighbor. I planted them about 2 1/2 feet apart in a row. Today, the "row" is filled in, a... more »

tfacey replied 12 months ago

oh, I dont know what the heck! When I checked the weather last night, it was showing rain for the next three days. Now 'maybe' Wednesday. Weather forecasters: the only job where you can be wrong every day of your life and still keep your job.

I bought a scale this year to keep track of the pounds of food coming ou... Jun 03, 2012

Neat!  Do you mean you grafted each individual branch then?  That's pretty cool.  The edging is really great too - I love the look of it.  I kind of thought they might be slate shingles.  Nice!
tfacey replied 12 months ago
Yes, each branch is grafted... I'm not sure how to get it any taller than it is. I might take the branches up to form a square U

Love the espalier and the edging!

Some of my best yardening gets done in the early morning in my bathrobe. Please someone tell me I'm not the only one!

Ha! I love the responses... I know it bugs my family... mostly because we DON'T live in the middle of no where! I try not to end up in the front yarden... but hey, sometimes shit happens. Good morning neighbors!

I remember the day I rode my bike to my grandma's farm (she lived up the road from us) and finding her in only her bra and shorts. My jaw about hit the floor! No wonder I love to garden half nekkid.
I stalked this plant until it was on clearance last year. After coupons ... May 22, 2012

hahahah I love the "how you like me now, neighbors" title of this photo. I cracked up.
tfacey replied 12 months ago
The neighbors across the street cant stand us. 12 years later, and we still don't know why - all the other neighbors think we are great! I pretty much decided to plant in my front yarden because of them. hehe

I'm loving this!!
