We layer newspaper inbetween plants for a weed barrier. Works! We don't use the shiny sales ads, just the normal soy black ink ones.

And I weeded my herb garden today! Love my herbs!

Fence is getting to be very interesting, what a little wire can do.........

Ranger · 04-27-2012

We are eating asparagus now and the pea's are sprouting, lilacs are blooming.

Supposed to have frost tonight but everything including the peas are ok with that.

Ranger, How hard are they to grow and how much room do they need?

Ranger · 04-30-2012

Very easy to grow, the area they are in I planted 25 years ago.

Whatever space you can give a "crown" which look's like a "mop head" all stringy like and it will increase in size over time.

Serious garden jealousy right here.

I am all about the home canning, saucing, and organics. I wish I had a garden to grow my own vegies. Apartments aren't good for that.

I LOVE asparagus!

I had planted way too many raspberry canes in a WAY TOO SMALL an area 2 years ago.

They sure do get out of control easily.

I had to dig half the plants out and clean out the canes last weekend....looks much better now....I am just not sure if a mature raspberry patch will be a deterrent or bonus for our house's new owners.
