UP Thread some one was interested in using vinegar as a weed killer. Tubebender mentioned that there was a 20% vinegar that would work better than what is available in the grocery stores but he coud only find it in 55 Gal. Drums - that is why the discussion continued and lead to the one Gal jugs.
Round Up does work, I use it often. Takes some time to see the results.
It will warm up!
That 1 1/2" of rain last night brought Lake Bender to the brim and could overflow soon...
And the Cherry Tree is blooming nearby...
Good hard-working weekend for me. For part of my Master Gardener volunteer hours, I worked at our county hazardous waste collection. They put all us newbie MG's with a group selling rain barrels, compost bins and assorted accessories for the compost bins (
http://www.enviroworld.us/). I would imagine the county got a percentage of the sales, but I don't know that for sure. Sold well over 100 rain barrels, and probably 50-75 compost bins. I bought a compost bin for myself, and worked a great deal on a slightly damaged rain barrel ($15!!). Can't beat that. And the damage won't affect the function.
Spent most of Sunday working the garden area. Still a lot of grading to do to level an area for a doubling of my garden size. I'm hoping I'll be far enough along to at least get the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers planted by next weekend. If I'm lucky, I'll have the new area ready in two weeks for sweet potatoes, potatoes and a few other things.
I discovered on Sunday that the peat pots growing my tomato seeds are growing mold on the outside. This can't be good. Certainly not for the air in the guest bedroom where they are growing. Should I transplant them to new pots, or just stick with it for the next week until I can transplant them into the raised beds?
