Love this thread idea and that you're so receptive to helping us. Thank you.
I started planting my Spring/Summer 2008 garden about 3 weeks ago. Some of the plants, I did as indoor starters from seed. Others, I waited until after the last frost and seeded in soil. Possibly, it's still a bit too cool or I'm a bit impatient, yet I am wondering roughly how long before, i.e., beans should show some signs of growing? The ones planted as small starters are thriving. The ones by seed? No sign of anything, yet.

all about deer and rabbit resistant plants. I just spent my entire flight between Boise and Portland going through this catalogue. You are going to love it!! I started making a list of plants for you but thought you are a smart one, you can get the catalogue and go through it. You will have a ball! I order plants from them and have always had good luck! Have a great time!

Hummingbirds love anything that is red. A hanging basket with petunias would attract them and then you can put a humming bird feeder along side it. Petunias do well in the heat and there are several different kinds that do not require any deadheading. Verbena does well in the heat and looks great in a hanging basket and also attracts the hummers. You can add Licorice vine, Million Bells/Calibrachoa, Ivy geranium, sweet potato vine (green does well in full sun), with different accent plants. Just some ideas for plants that do well in heat. Have fun!

I'M ENJOYING READING THIS THREAD. WANT TO PLANT SO BADLY...ALAS CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. DO HAVE A LOVELY, AT LEAST TO ME, (OOPS didn't mean to shout()) Frog garden with all kinds of cute frogs!
Also have some house plants and they are wonderful. Life is great when playing in the dirt. I think being outside and planting is as close to God as one can get. The sweet smell of dirt and beautiful plants are heavenly. I have 2 Tea Olive plants outside (been there for some years now) that smell like heaven when they bloom. UMMMM they are blooming lately and I love it! |

Ok, I have these little moles...actually "voles" putting little holes all through my yard and leaving ugly patches of dead grass. How do I get rid of these guys safely? I have a dog and don't want to use anything that could be harmful to him. Thanks Ladies!!

Voles are nasty little critters that can cause a lot of damage to your yard. I have them in my tree nursery and a few years ago, I had a bumper crop of them that completey eradicated 35 prairifire crabapple trees in one winter! They completely girdled the trunks which killed the trees. Nasty little buggers! Baiting them with dogs in your yard is a tricky situation. Here's a link to a website with some information. If you have a county pest control department, I highly recommend calling them. They could help you. That's who I call as it's paid for by our taxes. http://www.voles.com/How_to_Kill_Voles.htm
