Re: How does your Garden Grow
Up here in the 62nd Latitude the Spring has barely begun
My wife planted some bell pepper, chili, lots of different tomatoes, some cucumber and what not a couple of months ago and has been tending them since. I made a little rope-shelf-thing to the spare room’s window that faces South-East and we got some LED plant lights too. The shelf quickly got too small as the plants grew and were moved to bigger and bigger pots
They will soon be moved outside to the greenhouse that we got last summer. It was delivered in August, my son and I assembled it right away, but was too late to actually grow anything there. We did move the peppers and tomatoes from the veranda there to extend the growth period. I’ll need to build some stands and shelves in there next week.

This one neighbor likes tall grass and weeds.
It is tough to have a nice lawn when your neighbor has other ideas.
Mows the lawn once a month and takes all day to do it.
Last year watched as he blew-up the lawnmower -- billowing out burning oily smoke and kept running the mower until it quit.
The poor neighbor that I take care if her (Nicki) yard has had massive weeds in her yard, and a grass fungus that started over in her neighbor's yard and she paid $1200 to treat the problem that was creeping into her yard from the neighbor's yard because grass he cuts he just leave the clumps of grass and it becomes mold and mildew and lets the fungus grows.
I find it interesting to watch maple trees growing out of the gutters in mid-June that are about 18" tall.
Not the most like neighbor on the street (parties starting at 10:00pm at night.)
Intimidates the older (seniors) neighbors on the street.
Ethnicity has nothing to do with it either. (Hispanic)

Re: How does your Garden Grow
Thanks, Bob, actually we tend our garden ourselves. My scope is mowing, and keeping the irrigation pump alive..we use soil water only, and it has some dissolved salts that often precipitates and needs cleaning up the nozzles and piping. We also add seasonal fertilizers.

Re: How does your Garden Grow
Hi sosam117,
The rule here is you have to cut 'grass' when it is 2ft tall for some reason.
Most gardens here are almost like baloghs beautiful garden.
Some people do not like yellow dandylions on green lawns.
Best one I have seen here yet...
Native grasses you can wade a path through, smell flowers on the way.
Just take a hand scythe with you. to keep to the 2ft limit.
Zero need for mowing.
And birds and bees like it.
(I fly model airplanes because I like birds and bees, for some reason)
I like that.
Thanks CEF,
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave
