This year I have an apple tree in, and I'm going to try covering it with bird netting once the flowers have been fertilized...Clea Danaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534393400162661399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153778458693683617.post-31815396812937847302008-04-19T11:09:00.000-05:002008-04-19T11:09:00.000-05:00Oh, fun!

(And it's a TEENSY spot!) :) We also have 2 tomato plants by the porch (they've done really well there) and a banana pepper plant there, too. I came home from work a week ago Monday and J had done the groundwork...he let me plant the seeds. A couple of nights ago I was watering and he asked, "Did you see we have some sprouts?" I can hardly believe that something I know nothing about actually WORKS. :)Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014929186976646915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153778458693683617.post-14190363792338633352008-04-18T20:45:00.000-05:002008-04-18T20:45:00.000-05:00I know - I hate it, but it does seem to happen eve...I know - I hate it, but it does seem to happen every summer, especially in the last few years.<BR/><BR/>On the plus side, we only had to have our property mowed a few times, so that was good.<BR/><BR/>Of course, now the grass looks horrid . . .<BR/><BR/>;-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917695302269389888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153778458693683617.post-26026095426558246452008-04-18T19:06:00.000-05:002008-04-18T19:06:00.000-05:00jtdarby, don't say the "d" word!!!! :) Lori-Lyn, ...jtdarby, don't say the "d" word!!!! :) <BR/><BR/>Lori-Lyn, thanks for the post. we are fairly intuitive as weill. we are just south of nashville and planted moon and stars watermelon for the same reason you did and they did GREAT here last year, so i think you'll be in for a treat! best wishes!Sunrisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253991898918182434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153778458693683617.post-90947041692410267522008-04-18T08:22:00.000-05:002008-04-18T08:22:00.000-05:00I need to come see your garden this summer, LL, be...I need to come see your garden this summer, LL, before the inevitable drought hits.
