I'm about ready to have DH mow the whole bed down.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687590785527530194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-15660001061334434572011-05-06T12:19:14.613-05:002011-05-06T12:19:14.613-05:00I, too, love paths.

Not only are they functional to get from one part of the yard to another, but it helps define garden spaces and beds. I had more paths at the other house. This place is very wide open so I make wide curving swaths of grass to take the place of paths here. <br /><br />And you are right, nothing gets to the table faster than those grown from some spuds missed from harvest last year. They are a treat.<br /><br />Your beds are huge and many. They'd intimidate me no end. My hat's off to you, Glenda, for keeping up!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-33962200926791508082011-05-06T09:59:23.637-05:002011-05-06T09:59:23.637-05:00You and DH are a good team!

We just bought one of those walk behind string trimmers and man oh man does it go through the weeds. The line is the size of a chop stick and it will whack down even tree sprouts. Just what we needed for the edges of our yard that are woods. Jerry used it yesterday and scared off any snake that could have been lurking! Happy Mother's Day sweetie, love coming for my visits...just like going home to Lead Hill.Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-33981048792332768672011-05-06T05:45:15.193-05:002011-05-06T05:45:15.193-05:00Looks like everything is coming along nicely.

I'd never seen volunteer potatoes before but it kind of ties in to something I saw somewhere, a woman said when she was little, her dad would make a ditch at the edge of the garden that he put their winter's worth of potatoes in, then some straw, and then he'd just bank the earth up around and over. When they needed more potatoes in the house, they'd go out there and just reach under all that. She said they never froze, and they had no trouble with the potatoes rotting. <br /><br />I love those things that naturalize. The things that you sent me have settled in quite nicely.<br /><br />Isn't it strange that the herbs that are so good for us need poor soil and dry conditions? <br /><br />Love that old-fashioned rose. Does it make rosehips?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
