Re: Home and garden projects

Beautiful, lizzyq — how I would love to be able to grow tomatoes like that!

Re: Home and garden projects

Our hosta are in the fenced-in area so are safe from deer, but our threat comes from below -- we have often found the foliage splayed out on the ground, with the root gone. The voles apparently eat...

Re: Home and garden projects

Slugs are the main reason that I only do a deck garden, in pots. I used to spend hours picking them off everything in my veg garden. Now all I have to keep an eye open for are Japanese beetles and...

Re: Home and garden projects

Thanks for posting -- I really enjoy getting a look at your setup! The produce I'm concentrating on this year is basil -- eleven portions of pesto in the freezer so far -- and chilies -- five jars of...

Re: Home and garden projects

I love the sound of that! Yesterday evening when I tried to sneak a look at Mrs. Bird in her basket, I discovered little beaks reaching skywards, while she screamed at me from a nearby tree. I'm...

Re: Home and garden projects

I appreciate your concern. You wouldn't believe how recently the deck was repaired and re-stained -- multiple dogs get the stain off in no time, and we're resigned to having it look scruffy! Yes, we...

Re: Home and garden projects

Wanted to spruce up my deck garden for herbs and chilies this year. Scavenged some wood pallets from a local business to raise the pots off the ground, then found a free baker's rack on Craigslist...

Re: Home and garden projects

I think it has a very nice clean look without them. You did a great job.

If you look closely at the pic, you will see that they have been sprayed with Off to keep them safe. ;)

Re: Home and garden projects

Many thanks! I'm always interested in a new chili recipe. Here is my tried and true recipe--its from an old Indian cookbook, so I tried to photograph the page. As you can see from the stains, the...

Re: Home and garden projects

Those look wonderful! I grow cherry tomatoes as they are all in pots on my deck, and they are just starting to ripen. I had frozen eight portions of pesto for the winter, and lost all except the one...

No, in those days I just jumped up and got back on. Today, someone would be putting all the shattered pieces in a bag!

Re: Home and garden projects

What a handsome pair! Thank you for the pics, Nutek!

And thanks for the video, SOS -- it is a nice song. Made me think about riding in North Wales on my summer holidays when I was a kid. For a...

Re: Home and garden projects

I have a tomato/herb/chili garden in pots on my deck, allegedly to keep them safe from dogs and critters. But the chipmunks have stolen all the tomatoes and the chilies are for reasons unknown not...

Re: Home and garden projects

Has everyone had a successful garden this year? Here in CT, I think we've had our best garden ever--we've never had such a profusion of flowers and such growth on the shrubs and perennials. I put it...

Re: Home and garden projects

Recalling prior posts by the Q family, and not to be a spoiler, but I recall it's not a family member's, but theirs!

Edit: And now I see that Lizzy has given the location!

Re: Home and garden projects

That explains it! All I could imagine was a big gap beckoning. Here in the woods we have enough trouble with unwelcome guests without offering a handy sanctuary!

Re: Home and garden projects

It would seem that raising the base cabinets offers a great opportunity for crud and mice to hide!

Re: Home and garden projects

Might it be feasible to put a gate on the porch, or are the sides completely open? We can close a couple of gates on our deck to keep the dogs there if necessary.

Here is our resident fox -- but he does his own foraging. I usually get a photo of him crossing the bridge over the river at around 1 am, then returning in the opposite direction around 3 am. This is...

Re: Home and garden projects

Can't help for right now, but every fall we bank all the fallen leaves up against the bottom of our chain link fence, so that it forms a barrier as they break down. When branches fall, they also get...

Re: Home and garden projects

I use periwinkle, ivy, and pachysandra as ground covers. The ivy grows the fastest, and has to be cut back from the pathways every year, but it covers really well and looks good despite being...
