Find at Tractor Supply ...

beesandbrews wrote in gardening Feb 23, 2018 12:58

I went in for a supply run. While I was waiting to check out, I perused the boxed plants. For $9.99 they had the new Bush and Berry Babycakes Blackberry. They also had the red raspberry, whose name is escaping me. These are dwarf plants made for container culture, and everywhere else they've been advertised the price as been around $34.00 each.

Rain Gauges

ilexcassine wrote in gardening Apr 18, 2012 16:23

I'm looking for a good, (hopefully) attractive rain gauge that won't break the bank. A lot of the ones I'm finding are too small for my tastes, too. Five inches minimum, preferably seven is what I'm looking for and sturdy.

I found this one which is neat but a bit pricier than I'd like and not as functional as I'd want either, more than likely ( Read more... )

North American native pond plants, Zone 5/6

jacquez wrote in gardening Jun 03, 2011 15:05

Hey all! So, my new house has a pond feature with a nice little stream, and no pond plants. I've had it all cleaned out for the summer and put some goldfish in -- they seem happy and have lived several weeks now -- and the water gardens folks told me to get some pond plants to help keep the water clear ( Read more... )

to peat or not to peat?

sammason wrote in gardening Feb 04, 2011 17:18

Most of the gardeners I know in the British Isles avoid using peat. We don't doubt that it's a useful material in the garden and it's still available in garden centres. But many of us believe it to be environmentally damaging. The thing is, it's a non-renewable resource and its mining has driven our peat bogs and their associated plants and insects ( Read more... )

Zanthoxylum simulans, Szechuan pepper

ilexcassine wrote in gardening Dec 13, 2010 13:57

I just read an article in The Guardian about growing Zanthoxylum simulans, Szechuan pepper. I had no idea it is related to prickly ash. I think I could grow this in USDA Zone 7 even, or maybe I'll try keeping it in a pot. It would be so exciting to have fresh Szechuan peppercorns on hand ( Read more... )
