I'm in awe of being able to sow pumpkins straight into the ground, I've just started mine off in the greenhouse. And I love that calladium, really nice specimen.Is the Wizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761353128112632116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-9621783243353982502011-05-11T17:52:03.382-04:002011-05-11T17:52:03.382-04:00Hey there "Canuck-Girl" !

I did try but it fell on its sword to escape me that year .. so I figured that was a cosmic message NOT to torture pumpkins .. but girl , pop one in the mail for me around Halloween ? OK ??<br />I am also damn glad to see you don't put down RED mulch .. I can't believe people use that .. crap ? it is screaming red for god sake .. why not launch a river of blood ? at least it would feed the plants ? OK .. rant over with .. just wanted to pop over and say amazing work girl .. now come back up here and help me weed please ??<br />Joy<br />PS .. are you going to wait in your pumpkin patch on Halloween night to see if the Great Pumpkin comes ? .. and can I come over and wait with you too ??CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-36085025892227269882011-05-11T16:17:23.155-04:002011-05-11T16:17:23.155-04:00Excellent!

There is something very satisfying about getting your butt whooped in the garden, but having something to show for it (rather than just pulling weeds, and someone asking where you pulled them because there are 10 million gazillion more). Your new curvy bed definitely dresses up the front door, and it will look fabulous when all the plants fill in. Good luck with the pumpkins, they're fun to grow!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-63761165301808228612011-05-11T13:41:06.173-04:002011-05-11T13:41:06.173-04:00Sorry, I posted that comment under my husbands Goo...Sorry, I posted that comment under my husbands Google account!<br />He gets a slap upside the head for not logging out!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652535937008222783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-90074141439258036962011-05-11T13:39:46.137-04:002011-05-11T13:39:46.137-04:00Here's a tip - if you like lavender and want m...Here's a tip - if you like lavender and want more, let the flowers seed and then when they dry completely, clip them and leave them where they fall. They should reseed and you'll have lots of baby lavender plants to move where you want and they will be accustomed to your climate so should grow well. <br />Apart from that, your curvy bed looks great. There's no shame in salvaging containers, I do it on my allotment! I have old wellies with strawberries in them.<br /><br />I love pumpkin plants, they are total triffids though.Smilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716663716859070170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-45640999785144469252011-05-10T23:21:26.716-04:002011-05-10T23:21:26.716-04:00New beds are hard work - congrats!

I was happy to also find that my lavender was alive, though it is nowhere near so healthy looking as yours is. My girls helped me plant runner beans, a pumpkin (just a wee one; I'm totally looking forward to showing the girls your pumpkin patch photos), carrots, peas and zucchini today. <br /><br />I'm also jealous of your lovely Japanese maple; I adore them, but you have to go to such extreme measures to keep those alive in Edmonton, and I'm just not into coddling my plants enough for that.Jessie McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044541928981530026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-84764883831761256042011-05-10T20:54:24.859-04:002011-05-10T20:54:24.859-04:00OMG - you've put me to shame!

It's A LOT of work. Your sectioned off area looks great. When all that stuff grows fuller, it's going to make a beautiful corner garden as people make their way in the entrance. I hope your pumpkins grow large and big like that of the baby:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-65141110799099723772011-05-10T20:18:28.384-04:002011-05-10T20:18:28.384-04:00ah, mah, GAH!

I'm thinking that means they could grow so big down by you that you could alter the gravitational forces of the globe.

I just ordered compost to be delivered and told the guy to fill the truck, however much that is. I'll figure it out when it gets here. Isn't there something about spring that makes us gardeners crazy? I wouldn't work this hard at anything else yet I'll go all day to the point where I'm falling over to get a garden bed finished.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.com
