I guess this illustrates another REALLY good reason to use rebar! :-)
...and a mallet or hammer!

Finally getting around to replying. Got bot my plots tilled and put into rows yesterday after adding some manure compost and peat mulch. I have a bunch of tomato plants in small containers saved from years past. My neighbor has a LOT of volunteer tomato plants in a couple of his veggie beds.
We are still in the low 40s with rain showers hanging in the better part of the day. Lord knows we need rain here in central Texas. The lake is about 50 feet low and I hope the storms west of here dump a few feet into Lake Travis. My parsley plants are growing like crazy. Our neighbor loves cooking with it and I told her to help herself.

We’re going to go see her early next month - her “little brother”, my dad, is 89. Her memory is failing - when he called her for her birthday, she got confused and for a short while, didn’t know who he was. It will probably be the last time they see each other .... he has CHF and she’s a tiny little thing .... I think a strong wind would blow her away. They don’t “make ‘em” any more like my dad & Aunt E .... the best of the best. I’ll be sure and give her that hug!!

Glad to hear that you got your stuff moved safely. Getting “unboxed” and organized was a huge chore for us and we still cannot find some things.

That’s quite the story.
She is one tough lady.
Sending prayers for her.

Could someone remind me which gardening thread had the newspaper pot construction in it? Or another source would be good too.

Great looking garden! I wish I had that much area to plant every year. Time for me to move to the old farm. I use rebar as well, and cut swim noodles into 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces and but them on the top. I almost took out an eye a few years ago. Get the pink or red. I find them along the road during the summer.

Doesnt seem to like us much, seems to prefer washing into the lake.. I was at one of the parks last week and there are areas that have several feet of good dirt. I feel like getting some for my yard. I found a couple of "rocks" while on my expedition. One was a small point and the other was the bottom half of a 4 - 6 inch knife.

Getting unboxed and organized was a huge chore for us and we still cannot find some things. Boy do I know that feeling --- and it will be 9 years next month since I moved. I'm not a real organized person, if you couldn't tell :(

Thanks! Even with us moving ourselves we are having problems remembering what some boxes have in them. Most boxes were marked well enough but at the end of the packing process we neglected to label every box and some items were just thrown in to boxes to fill them up! I know what you mean! Also I found out that this 64 year old is no longer 35. Ouch!
