Any tips?<BR/><BR/>Ah, the rodent-like deer. I remember them well...I planted my herbs in pots again this year. They seem to do OK like that, but next year I might try them in the ground, if I get this landscaping thing under control. Thankfully, the rodent-like rodents around here seem to stay out of my herb plants, and even the tomatoes I planted last year. The rodent-like birds on the other hand pecked holes in the few tomatoes that actually grew, so there won't be anymore of them this year. Now I know what farmers must go through...on a very, very small scale of course.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132594195395924087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-67848497880643735532008-04-23T15:57:00.000-04:002008-04-23T15:57:00.000-04:00yardwork is a little beyond my physical capabiliti...yardwork is a little beyond my physical capabilities right now, so i'm going to stick with pots of flowers. petunias and pansies and geraniums and the like. <BR/><BR/>i might get adventurous and do some herbs. but the deer will probably come up on the deck and eat them. <BR/><BR/>deer are like rodents here in NJnejyerfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308206206752686464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-18153700671903525502008-04-17T20:06:00.000-04:002008-04-17T20:06:00.000-04:00no regrets - You'll have a new garden soon. And I'...no regrets - You'll have a new garden soon. And I'm definitely sticking to the easy things.<BR/><BR/>p - I'm afraid that's what's going to happen to me. Thing is, I don't have much of a yard, so there's only so much I can dig up before it's starts to look a little odd. Hopefully I'll be able to control myself before the obsession goes too far.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132594195395924087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-32701900745280548312008-04-17T09:26:00.000-04:002008-04-17T09:26:00.000-04:00EXCITING! i think gardening must be addictive. whe...EXCITING! i think gardening must be addictive. when we moved into our house, i started by just extending and replanting 2 beds in the front. loved that so much i ripped up a big plot in the back yard. last summer, i ripped out another plot in the back yard. i don't know what i'm going to do this year.<BR/><BR/>there is such satisfaction in seeing your work pay off year after year. i love the anticipation of spring -- waiting to see how all of my perennials will look this year -- bigger? fuller? greener?<BR/><BR/>woo!patresa hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225877848092404155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32283188.post-7276842303851162992008-04-16T21:35:00.000-04:002008-04-16T21:35:00.000-04:00I can list all the things that are easy to grow, m...I can list all the things that are easy to grow, meaning you stick them in the ground and they grow. That's my kind of gardening! Hostas. Irises. Garlic. Mint, oregano (But put those in a pot so it doesn't spread all over.) Daffodils. and more... yay! too bad I"m losing my garden.NoRegretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240929627271129160noreply@blogger.com
