peas are up and garlic is a foot tall

well, the yard is filling with pansies and tulips and apple blossoms wave in the breezes and waft through the air.

the peas are 6" tall and the cabbage family is well on it's way....squashes and tomatoes, and garlic, all afoor tall and it's still april...

The best cure for hcv.....IMHO.....gardening...now if only my silly wabbit spinal cord would go along more, I'd farm the whole hill!!

aanybody else find therapy in little green critters???

I like eating them. I am getting hungry reading your post! As far as pansies waving in the breeze, well I've never tried them.

Happy gardening. Let me know if you need help disposing ov the veggies :-)

Garlic is easy!!  I buy whole ones at the grocery and split them then plant, pointy side up.  Any small space that is not clay in your flower bed, plant in November.

Rock...........My chickens are finally laying eggs after the super cold winter.  My eggs are brown and some are a pretty blue green

Are the yolks on these light green eggs a rich dark yellow?  When I lived in northern Alberta, Canada I worked in a health food store (do they still call them that?) that was supplied with free range eggs and they were light green shells and rich yellow yolks.  Yummy eating.

my husband is fond of tell the story of the day I gave CPR and mouth to mouth to my favorite rooster....rolleyes....don't ask...giggle...

OMG, I loved my chickens...takes me back...the only prob was I loved em too much...wheneevr my goats or chickens had babies I couldnt even sell them (because I knew folks might eat them... they were my babies....when it got to 100 birds I finally stopped naming them all....but when a dog bit Elmo's throat...OMG....

I know some folks think birds are just birdbrains, but I had some that had very unique personalities and behovioral quirks....they were real individuals.....maybe like people....some are smart, some aren't.

the eggs were great though,,,it's hard to get good eggs anymore...each one had twice the flavor and color of store bought...

Garlic.....I'm growing more elephant garlic these days...it's easier to grow, and easier to chop, being bigger....milder flavor so you need more, but simpler when cooking because you don't have to fine mince it...great in sauces.

Oh lucky you! I suck at veggie gardens! I would LOVE to grow garlic, I eat a ridiculous amount!

My sister loved birds, always had them. And I'm with you on I can't ever get rid of any critter unless it's going to a good home for a PET! Killed me when my dad had a couple cows I raised butchered. I wouldn't eat ANY of it! We fought over that, and only thing we fought over!
They gave up and I ate the broccoli, lol.

Is it organic growing? I just bought a house and will be trying a garden next spring (to late in Fl, may try a few things) but you can give me tips next yr.

I love a garden thread!  Especially this year.  Last spring I was very sick on TX and as the months go by I'm reminded that this time last year I was a wreck.  No excuses after Sept. 1, 2009 when I had my 12 week post-TX visit.

I live in the deep south and have peaches the size of golf balls; figs, too. Eating the first of the strawberries, grapes are blooming.  Have harvested the last of the lettuce and yellow squash seeds have just sprouted.  GSDgirl, I'd love to have araucanas (sp?) but too many dogs in my town neighborhood.  Still, it's going to be a whale of a different season from last year!  Can't wait!

Yay...a garden thread!!  

I am jealous of the garlic.  Roasted is my weakness.  Will have to add that to the mix next year.  

Tomatoes are coming along nicely, towering over my eggplant.  But something ate all the blooms off my lemon tree...now I worry it won't bloom.  I'm betting it's a big huge grasshopper...arg!

Careful on your reference to " young goofy guy is courting you!! ".  Our forum friend could be all over you in the skae of a brusseel sprout.  But to tell you a secret, our Goofy much prefers eggplant.  If it's jewel-encrusted, all the better.
