About Me:
I'm a mother of 3, a singer, and a small business owner. I love to garden. Oh, and I often spend spare moments trying to figure out how to make my home more sustainable or how to create a more harmonious world.
"I haven't been impressed with the seed library. They probably could use donations -- they tend to give out so few seeds, and when they don't all germinate it is very frustrating. They don't seem to understand that while, say, 3-5 tomato or squash…"
Yes! On this forum.And I wanted to respond to the info about dragon fruit, but I found that although I could type in the box...the "reply" button doesn't work. I sent a message to admin and nada.
"Ok, so, really??!! I understand about the thorns, but did they produce good fruit? How much water did they require to do so well? (your best guess on water, no need to be precise) Were they from a local nursery or home depot/lowes or mail order?"
"OMG...
I think I now have an idea of what to do with my too expensive to run hot tub with the leaky heater...bypass the heater and try this. What time of year was this photo taken?"
