    Rose Hips

    I talked to a friend in Sweden and he said his dad makes soup and uses them. I was investigating them when I saw that the arthritic dog medication Rimadyl was so similar in name. I picked a bunch off my wild roses in my backyard, but couldn't find any ideas on how to use them. Now I see...

    Any Garden Crafts??

    What? No Sears Catalog? That's adorable! That would be cute in a bathroom to keep a plunger or brush in, too.

    Any Garden Crafts??

    I think your prices are fine. They're unique items, too. That should boost your sales. Maybe instead you could offer personalized painted writing on them. Some of the crafters around here do that instead so they don't have to worry about electricity. You could still do the decorative work on...

    zero turn

    I took an old pair of camo pants with a pocket and sewed them up so it has 2 -the normal pocket and a bigger one behind it out of leg and butt(!) fabric. I added a couple straps from the old waistband and some velcro. I used my old tape player (battery operated) and some headphones when I first...

    Zebra iris

    My dad had beautiful irises of all colors. He would have gone nuts over some of those. I like the humor on the site, too. That's fun!

    liberty bell stamps.

    My husband works for the post office and compared to any other country the United States still has the cheapest postage and most reliable service of anywhere in the world. Postage has gone up to 44 cents in 200 years so that's pretty much chump change. What's hurt their business isn't online...

    Grass Clippings As Mulch

    When I had my big garden I put fresh or dried between the rows to walk on and surrounded my Roma tomatoes with it except for about a 6 inch diameter from the stem. I don't like tree mulch at all, but I love grass mulch. I also used to keep a pile of it that I'd turn periodically behind my garage...

    Straw is growing grass in the garden...Please Help!!!

    When I had my big garden I used grass clippings from the first couple mows when it was so long. Great under my tomatoes especially. They just sprawled all over it.

    Bare rooted maple tree question

    I already put a few hostas under it and a little viney thing I found in the woods. I think it might be the type of thing that can cover a tree so I'm probably going to move it. It's not poison ivy. lol It's got shiny leaves and I think it can be used in flower pots. I found a beautiful old...

    Trees in my Yard

    I was reading an old book online about Crawford County, Pa. last night and one of the early pioneers found remnants of an oak that had been 10 feet in diameter near Pymatuming swamp. I just can't imagine. I noticed when I was talking to my neighbor the other day that she has a big oak tree in...

    Apple tree from seed

    Thanks for everyone's help. I think once this little plant gets going I'll find a spot to put it and just let it go. If I get a producer that's fine, but if not I've planted a tree. I don't think all trees need to be grafted. I've got a dandy full sized apple tree the birds planted at the back...

    Apple tree from seed

    Now I'm interested in what they will be. I didn't know if it had been hybridized, but having something different than a Granny Smith makes me curious. It seems to be doing okay so far. Thanks for all the replies.

    Apple tree from seed

    I cut open a Granny Smith the other day and some of the seeds were sprouting so I planted them in some soil in my kitchen. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and what results they had. I'm curious if I do get it to grow if I'll have a good GS tree or if it will be sterile possibly? It...

    lol That's too funny. I wish I'd thought of that years ago!!

    Keep them worms cool

    Well, if you have a small amount of fishing worms you keep in the fridge crisper like I did make sure the cover is on tight or they'll end up in your lettuce! haha

    Wanted info about planting by the moon

    I've got about 15 OFA and get my sons one every year just for all the good articles. Mine's in the bathroom. :) My grandma planted by the moon phases and the reason was light differences. Even if it was overcast there's still the radiance that makes certain above ground producers do better and...

    What is this Wildflower?

    The pink one is defintely a perennial geranium. I have 2 side by side. The one you show isn't nearly as invasive as my other perennial which has a broader leaf. It has a nice round growth habit. Here's a link that might help you. http://home.howstuffworks.com/define-geranium-cranes-bill.htm

    My garden bench

    That's really pretty. I keep telling my husband that the more flower beds and stuff in the yard the less he'll have to mow. Boy, was it a great thing to hear my 25 year old son say he told his girlfriend that the more flowers she has the less he has to mow!!! His dad looked at him like he had 3...
