Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Figured I would play along as well! We built our own home from 2009-2011, so this is our first spring in the new house. ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) Needless to say, I'm mostly starting from scratch. I've got a 35x10-ish flower bed in the backyard that I'm fencing the dogs out of today, a 16x2 flowerbed along the front porch, a raised flower/shrub bed that needs some serious fixing, and a 30x40ish veggie garden that we're working on. About half of my perennials I've grown using wintersowing (wintersown.org) and they're looking really good this year (their 2nd year) so far. The rest of the perennials are either gifts from friends or relatives thinning their own beds, or from the clearance rack at Lowes. Pics forthcoming, although the only thing blooming right now is a pink catchfly my 6 year old gave me for mother's day last year. |

| Finally getting pics uploaded! This is one side of my covered porch. Everything except for the dianthus was started from seed last year. I've got snapdragons, jacobs ladder, and foxglove?? in there. ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 018-7](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/018-7.jpg) This is the other side. A mixture of burning bush and spirea (all from lowe's clearance) ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 019-4](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/019-4.jpg) My back flower bed. It's about 35x10, and in desperate need of weeding. ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 022-2](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/022-2.jpg) The veggie garden!!! 40x40ish ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 021-1](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/021-1.jpg) and my red-neck greenhouse: ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 020-2](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/020-2.jpg) |

| that particular bed is not in the part of the yard that the dogs ever go in (front, non-fenced part) but I really don't remember what it actually is! I'm hoping it blooms this year so i can identify it. ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) We're trying to figure out what grows well in our soil, and as we do that the veggie garden will probably get progressively bigger. I also have 2 hanging baskets of sugar snap peas. |

| You probably need a different variety of lavendar. I think I have hidcote blue. It's zone 4 hardy. "True" Lavender is only zone 5 hardy I think. Mine are all started from seed, and on their 3rd year now. They weren't too hard to start, but they do take quite awhile to germinate. |

| SOOO much work left to do in my back flower bed. I've got almost half of it weeded, and the other half is still a jungle. This side is done: ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 026](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/026.jpg) This side is not ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 027-1](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/027-1.jpg) However, despite the choking weeds, my irises are starting to bloom! (and there's a partially finished chicken coop in the background!) ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 024-2](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/024-2.jpg) Mothers Day presents! ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 036-1](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/036-1.jpg) ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 037-2](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/037-2.jpg) The results from my redneck greenhouse ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 038-3](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/038-3.jpg) And the wintersown veggies ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 029-1](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/029-1.jpg) Sunflowers are around 4in tall in the milkjugs ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 031-1](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/031-1.jpg) I gave in and bought a flat of veggie plants since my tomatos didn't make it, but I also picked up more squash (don't know why with all I already have started!?), cukes, and eggplant! ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 035-1](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/035-1.jpg) |

| That's one serious flower bed and veggie garden! I wish I could have a veggie garden that size but I probably would kill half of what I planted!
I don't think your greenhouse is/was redneck...I think that was smart of you to think it up and use what you already have! Maybe I'm going to do that with Ginger old crate that we got from the rescue that she absolutely hates that nobody wants!!!! it splits in half, so I can make TWO 'redneck' greenhouses for next season!

so will you just cut open the milk jugs when they are big enough? i want to see a pic of that chicken coop! They're actually already cut around 1/3 of the way up, on 3 sides so they can kind of hinge open. They're zip-tied shut because of all the wind and sporadic frost we were/are getting. You can learn all about it at wintersown.org if you're interested. It works phenomenally for starting perrenials and hardy annuals too!. ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) Here's the coop so far. My husband is lamenting how "elaborate" it is....I just think that it's going to be mostly well thought out and functional. ![Gladah'd Gardens 2012 032-2](https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x263/gladahmae/032-2.jpg) |
