With all the talk about leading a healthier lifestyle and saving money, I have decided I would like to start a vegetable garden. I know absolutely nothing about growing vegetables! I know the first step is getting the ground ready, but after that, I'm clueless. All you gardening pro's out there, please lead me in the right direction. Thank you!!!

find dirt------get seeds-------put in dirt-------add water-------wait

Any information on this house?  Ever since the kids went to go check out the "Haunted house on the hill", I have been interested in its history, the original owner (Major I McCreight), who now owns it?  Any relatives out there?  PM me, if you wish.  It's a facsinating story from what I already know....he spent time out west and collected Indian artifacts and buffalo bones, was a banker here in Dubois in the late 1800's/early 1900's (?), hosted dinner parties for Buffalo Bill, wrote a lot about the history of DuBois...he sounds like he was an interesting man.

he was, perhaps THE prominent citizen of a DuBois that no longer exists----before the war.  You are right in thinking he was an "interesting man". His history is well worth looking into.

nice article

If you are building a garden and need tons of leaf mold then check with your municipality to see if they have squirreled away a huge pile of leaves from previous years.  http://www.emmitsburg.net/gardens/articles/frederick/2001/compost_leaves.htm

 

I went to Punxsy today and in two loads hauled away about a ton of the most beautiful black soil that a gardener would ever want, and it was free for the hauling.  They even load it for you!

 

I forgot to bring the phone numbers to post them but I will get them and add them later.  

thanks Petee

thanks Christy

I am pretty sure they are still together and meet at St. Catherine's Church.

Thank you.......but I was refering to the original AOH. You are refering to the division began in 1997.  Thanks anyway !!

Does anyone have a clue as to the fate of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in DuBois ??

Are there any artifacts, or old minute books out there??  They went under around WWII, but at one time they were extremely large in DuBois....

History is the most important subject in all academics
