  1. never hurts to try. Add some root compound to the end and plant in a sandy soil and see if roots sprout. I doubt it but you never know. It never hurts to try
  2. I may take you up on that just look through it. I have many ideas of my own and have looked over the years at many designs but cannot hurt to look at others too.
  3. a friend of mine has the same from harbor freight also but I would like to go a bit larger. I thought about building my own out of 1 1/2" pvc or just regular metal conduit and bending them myself and may do that if I don't find any used ones around. Limited funds make it difficult to buy new or even using conduit etc and I have a couple Amish friends who said they can build me one also so we will see. They are building me raised garden beds already and a chicken coop. I do not know how I will be next year and it is so much easier planting in a raised bed with my arthritis and my plants seem to do better in a raised bed as you see from my other threads.
  4. I am thinking of putting a greenhouse in my yard. If you know anyone who has an old greenhouse that they are not using and want to get rid of message me. I just need the hoops and then will buy the covering for it. Figured I would try here first.
  5. All dogs need to have rabies shots
  6. The overgrown bank of weeds etc. It also has those darn burrs that stick to everything.
  7. Replanted cantaloupe and watermelon. I have them in the planters because I am having the bank redone behind them. It so overgrown I need someone to come in and redo it is to much for my arthritic body to handle. So hopefully they will be over in the next couple weeks to do it for me and I will post pics of the progress.
  8. Cabbage is coming along nicely and the celery is doing well. Actually all the plants have done well except the cantaloupe, watermelon and cucumbers. I replanted some today. As you can see it does not take much space. This a 4'x8' raised bed and there is three tomato plants, 6 head lettuce, 6 celery, 6 cabbage, 4 pepper and numerous onions spread throughout the bed. This is plenty for my mother and she will give some of them away. The tomato's are small cherry tomato's for salads and I have one slicing tomato plant in a bucket on the picnic table. She literally get hundreds of cherry tomato's. I only planted two but another one sprouted up in the bed. I do not know if it is a cherry or slicing one we will see.
  9. Demoncrats are the most corrupt people alive well most politicians are
  10. Finally got a little bit of rain. I hope this helps the garden. I am working on putting in an outside garden spigot so I can water the garden.
  11. Nope no Kohlrabi. I don't eat it and I don't have the room. haha I havve thought about growing it again. I did one year but that was it
  12. Greater Swiss Mountain dog shorter haired version of the Bernese Mountain dog. She was a 100 lbs about 6 months ago. I am sure she weighs a bit more now
  13. Figured I might as well throw these in as well. True dimensional lumber used 2x4, 2x6 and 2x8 and they were kiln dried and then I stained them. I know the deck is hideous but hopefully someday it will be replaced.
  14. These are four of the raised beds I am going to use next year I have more that are going to be made these are 4' x 8' They are made of Larch wood a little more hardy lumber like the posts Amish use for fencing and also a bit different than the one I made for my mother.
  15. This is the upper garden my wifes.
  16. Now mine I just finished planting last week. My mothers I had planted sometime the last week of May. It took all of 5 to ten minutes to plant hers in the raised garden. Mine it took weeks of weeding and two weeks of planting. Next year I will raised garden in mine as my Arthritis makes it difficult to weed/plant.
  17. I resized these so they were not that big when uploading them to the forum. Looks like I am going to have to check the settings on the next batch and make them look crisper and better.
  18. I got a couple messages wanting to see this years garden pics so i went out and took some. I did that and went to put them on my computer and realized my new computer did not had a SD card reader or even a cdrom/dvdrom. I went to staples and bought a USB drive that could add the SD card into it and then I put that in my USB port and downloaded them. Only cost $22 for the reader as that was the cheapest they had today. So on to the pics.
  19. So he should quit being an attorney to be on the council. I seriously doubt being on the council will hinder his work in any way and vice versa. I am pretty sure other members on the city council etc have full time jobs and are on other organizational boards etc.
  20. Looks like I will not be buying a new car in the future. They want to monitor how you drive, your ethnicity and how you drive and also if they think you are drunk the car takes over etc watch this video. It was in the infrastructure bill. They want to know everything about you while you are in your vehicle.
