Emne: Re: Question
nobleheart: Thanks for the article.
Were going into the high 40's and hitting 50 so here's hoping we can get rid of the snow.It's still too early to do anything as far as working the garden.We can get a frost as late as May so we do know planting until Memorial week-end.

bwildman: Thats what i tried to explain we don't live in an area where the deer are roaming.It's kinda hard to explain.We do know that farmers put out large blocks of salt for the cows,and yes that does draw the deer.
The amout of sugar and Epson salt is very little.

CindyInTN: We still have snow on it's way,not a robin in sight.Everything is budding but were only in March and it'll be late April before i see any flowers like my Lilacs.Were still in the low 20's at night and just getting into the 40's.
March is crazy where i live can be 50 one day and 20 with snow the next.

bwildman: Because we live in a city,the only deer we see is at the zoo.Now where there are farms they see deer because of the feed for the cows,etc. .We can drive up north and see the deer but ya don't wanna be driving at night because they cause alot of accidents.I'll have to post where abouts the deer are in my area.Alot of ppl think when we say were from NY they think NYC but were not.There are so many towns,citys,farms,and the suburbs.

Did you know that if you put sugar around your tomatoes it makes them sweet?
Epson salts put aroung your veggies makes the plants produce more.
My info comes from the master of Gardening my Granparents.

ScarletRose: We don't have a drainage problem but did add sand to our garden last year.
One of our co-workers told my husband to buy a good size load of night crawlers and add them to the garden.He said the worms would keep the soil from getting hard.I'm not sure if he's joking but he's going to try it.We got some 3 yr.old compost were using this year and it's really rich,nice and black.I also make a tea for my plants with that.

I save some seeds from my plants every year there more adapt to the dirt which is mostly clay.We have to add alot of peatmoss and pearlite.My husband said next year he's digging it all out and filling it with topsoil.

chupacabraVS2: Thats very interesting,i grow strawberries in my garden but never knew they grew on a tree.
Right now i'm trying to grow a Pomegrante tree from seed,not sure if i'll have any luck.
All you eat in this fruit is the seeds but you can buy the juice which is high in antioxidents.

We can only get the fruit during the holidays around November we can buy them.

ScarletRose: Our garden is mostly clay soil which we really have to add to.I planted beets one year all i got was the greens which i learned to love.Now we add topsoil,peatmoss,and manure every year.Water we just keep our water hose handy.Ever use a compost tea? Works great just put the compost in a pail of water and it will be black.Use just the water.I add the compost in the late fall to the garden.

and any animal can be rabbid plus carry only God knows.I mention squirrels cause we have a big problem with them.If my 6yr old was bit she'd have to have the shots whether she needed them or not.
