March 2005, 06:40:49 Subject: Re: now that spring is coming.  nobleheart: LOL not really for those two words have to do with gardening.I would love to be planting my garden right about now. 26. March 2005, 11:44:52 Subject: 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. 25. March 2005, 18:38:40 Subject: Re: Eriisa: Have you thought about potted plants that you could move when the sun is out?
I'm not sure what else you could do,maybe somebody else has a better idea. 24. March 2005, 13:06:38 Subject: Spring So much for Spring we got about 3 inches of snow last night.Only flowers were seeing is in the stores for Easter. 24. March 2005, 04:12:41 Subject: Re: Re: CindyInTN: I didn't mean to post where you live per se.What i mean is we don't have a deer problem i'm in the city,our farm lands and small rural areas do.I have a rabbit that loves my garden but we don't mind sharing  24. March 2005, 03:58:59 Subject: Re: CindyInTN: Where abouts are you suburbs,farmland.We don't have a problem where i live,not in my city anyways.Many farmers feed the deer and post the land so know one can hunt. 24. March 2005, 03:44:53 Subject: Question Has anyone heard of or tried growing tomatoes in water and adding nutrients?
I saw this on a Home and Garden Show. 24. March 2005, 03:41:43 Subject: Re: 8^( nobleheart: Oh wow now thats some talent. 24. March 2005, 03:39:22 Subject: Re: Re: spicieangel: We have 3 inches of snow coming in tonite.:( 24. March 2005, 03:30:46 Subject: Re: Re: Modified by Foxy Lady (24. March 2005, 03:37:01) 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. 23. March 2005, 17:55:28 Subject: Re: 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. 23. March 2005, 17:35:56 Subject: Re: Re: Modified by Foxy Lady (23. March 2005, 17:50:05) 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. 23. March 2005, 11:51:26 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. 23. March 2005, 11:47:23 Subject: Re: NOT a floosie: 86 oh wow i'm jealous,but thats ok i got Lilacs 22. March 2005, 23:18:25 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring spicieangel: 56 oh i wish 22.

March 2005, 00:47:49 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring bumble: Ohhhhhhh so thats why my husband waters my houseplants with the water from my fish tank. 22. March 2005, 00:28:06 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring Rose: My husband has done this i'm not sure why tho.Any plants that need acidic soil i put coffee grounds around them,it did wonders for my blueberry bush. 22. March 2005, 00:12:57 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring Rose: Regarding the worms yuk my husband can do that but yes your right. 22. March 2005, 00:10:51 Subject: Re: adding topsoil to clay whatdidyousay: I've seen some ppl shread paper and put it around the plants to keep the weeds down.I'm afraid of the ink seeping into the plants. 21. March 2005, 23:54:25 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring 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. 21. March 2005, 23:46:39 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring spicieangel: My flowers do ok,except my roses.I get these little green worms that really cause me to steam.I don't like using anything with my oldest playing in the yard and the dog. 21. March 2005, 23:42:38 Subject: Re: adding topsoil to clay bwildman: We thought about that but were hoping to add our compost and fill it every year with topsoil.I planted beets one year and all i got was the greens,which i love anyways. 21. March 2005, 13:36:23 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring Rose: I can't wait either our Summer is very short June till Aug.than fall in Sept.lol 21. March 2005, 13:26:02 Subject: Re: Signs of Spring Rose: We plant around Memorial Day weekend than we know for sure the frost is gone.I started some seeds peppers and tomatoes,zucchinni etc.
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. 21. March 2005, 13:08:22 Subject: Signs of Spring Finally Spring is trying to show here in UpState NY.My Lilacs have buds and so do the trees.Our snow is melting and our temps are going into the 40's but our nights are in the 20's yet.Still too early to think of my garden. 19. March 2005, 02:55:43 Subject: Re: todays strange plant CleverHunk: Oh wow that is strange,and in the snow know less. 17. March 2005, 14:37:36 Subject: Re: Re:the st.lawrence market nobleheart: We have a Farmers Market during the Summer which we can buy veggies and plants for our garden. 17. March 2005, 00:51:10 Subject: Gardenia I meant to mention that my Gardenia has a flower on it.They usually bloom on Mothers Day. 16. March 2005, 23:20:19 Subject: Re: BerniceC: I never heard of it but i'm in the North so it may not grow here. 14. March 2005, 20:07:55 Subject: Re: Gardening ScarletRose: It's cold here till the end of May before we can even think about planting.My sunporch is heated so i'm pretty lucky there.You still could try and keep them in the house. 14. March 2005, 12:48:00 Subject: Gardening Has anyone depending where you live started a garden yet? I decided to start from seed this year so tomatoes, and peppers are in those little containors on my sunporch. 14. March 2005, 12:44:01 Subject: Re: nobleheart: Do you think you can find that fruit? 13. March 2005, 13:19:10 Subject: Re: Re: nobleheart: SR planting oreos hmmmmmm maybe i'll move West lol.
Sage is good for a gargle for a sore throat and as a tea to break a temp. 13. March 2005, 08:15:28 Subject: Re: BerniceC: Sorry to hear your hubby isn't well.
Ahhhhhh not to weed is my goal this year.I'm going to put Peat Moss around my plants.I love a herb garden we have a small one on my sunporch with parsley,chives,rosemary and thyme. 13. March 2005, 07:52:23 Subject: Re: some fun for us gardening people BerniceC: I did that also until the mint got into the garden,the scent is very refreshing.
Spring i wish to see soon i'm sick of Snow. 13. March 2005, 07:34:13 Subject: Re: some fun for us gardening people nobleheart: Ginger is also good for your tummy.lol.........So is the the Mint, your right about how it can spread.I had to re-pot mine in a container it just took over my garden. 12. March 2005, 09:28:24 Subject: Re: some fun for us gardening people Modified by Foxy Lady (12. March 2005, 09:35:29) 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. http://www.naturalpomegranatejuice.com/health.html We can only get the fruit during the holidays around November we can buy them. 3. March 2005, 04:22:32 Subject: Re: Re: nobleheart:

March 2005, 10:41:34 Subject: Re: Re: ScarletRose: Ohhhhhh wow we have none of that where i live.Dang plows woke me up. 2. March 2005, 07:32:50 Subject: Re: Re: Modified by Foxy Lady (2. March 2005, 07:36:34) 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. 2. March 2005, 07:11:22 Subject: Re: Re: ScarletRose: We still have frost sometimes in Mid May........I planted in early June this past Spring.Summer whats that?
