It's that time of year...

[entitled]

Green peas, beets, and onion sets are in the ground. The vegetable garden this year looks to be huge - much bigger than i wanted - but it might do pretty good.

Who else is itching to get your toes dirty and grow stuff?

I just want the grass in my backyard to sprout. It has sunk into the muddy quagmire that is my backyard for the second year in a row.

I guess I'll just have to roto-till everything up again and start over.

Put in some herbal groundcover instead of grass. Easier to grow, and some of it smells kinda nifty if you feel the need to mow it. Especially borage.

I'll alert Jammies for you.

She's loves getting her toes dirty and growing stuff.

Keep me away from your garden though. Green things die when I'm looking after them.

Nope, need grass. Got ground cover around and under the big tree, need grass around the deck and the house. So planting time next month.

Ah, but she grows flowers, not veggies.

zeb - Just like a man!

Naw, I'd be happy to just cement it all over and paint it green. The wife wants the grass. Says she wants dark green grass. Who am I to argue?

You don't have to. Just make her try to grow it for a couple of years.

About the only thing I fool with is tomatos, but I always have enough to feed the entire county the whole summer.

Beefsteak tomatos.

I want one now.

Are you trying to get me to make my life misserable! Well thanks a lot! No, I'll just go about planting new grass next month and see how it goes.

i was asked to put in about a half dozen tomato plants this year, but i refuse. My father in law always grows enough tomatoes that we can't keep up with them and most of them end up rotting on the vine.

I haven't had a yard in years, and I have no clue what to do with mine. There are plants and flowers all over my front yard that I need to figure out, and the kids want to plant...something. Still no clue at all.
Need to get my ass in gear, I guess.

If your toes get dirty enough to start growing stuff, I bet they are itchy ...

For the first time in years I'll be doing some gardening.
Not so many veg as in my last garden. Lotsa tidying up and landscaping this time. The wife does the planting, I do the overseeing.

 

[blackhaus7]

I'm taking a break right now. Took the afternoon off to work outside. Cleaned up flower beds yesterday. Just shut off the mower and will start the rototiller in a moment. (Yes, I said mower. Reclaimed a weedy area in the back.)

I can grow a beard. But that's about it. Plants die if I as much as think about them.

So that's what's happening to the rain forest.

Stop that right now, Liar!

And what, pray tell, is wrong with flowers? *tapping foot on floor*

I do grow tomatoes, but those aren't a vegetable, they're a necessity! Big Boys, Early Girls and Sweet 100's, usually.

Also dill, Genovese basil and sage at a minimum, more herbs if I can afford 'em.

And lots and lots and lots of flowers.

OK Jammies, maybe you can help me. I have a window box on my porch that gets not much sun. Can I plant flowers in it? What kind, if I can? Keeping in mind that my selections are pretty much limited to what I can find at Walmart and Lowe's (really hoping my Lowe's has a garden center but I don't know).

Sorry. I'll think about something else. Like parsnips. They can all perish for all I care. I fucking hate parsnip.

Thanks. I can live without parsnips as well.

Its time for My roses to start blooming... Midas touch yellow roses...
