About Me
- CONEFLOWER
- I like to talk to people, anytime, anywhere. I love to garden. I am a semi-successful very amateur photographer and my subject of choice is usually landscape or macros of flowers. My eyes are my link to everything and I am constantly looking around and seeing fascinating beautiful things to look closer at and to talk about with whoever might be nearby.

Beth, Love a blank canvas--so much room for creativity. Looking forward to seeing some 50 High Impact plants gracing your space!! Your partner in "crime" Tracy
How much space do you have in the back? Do you have a drawing of the property?
Hi Tracy! I'm excited about a blank canvas too. The front gardens that you see in this spliced photo will be devoted to "50 High Impact Plants". Can you give me the name of a source for these plants that you like?
Hi Bob! I don't have a drawing altho I can make one when the snow leaves. You can get an idea by going to Google Maps or Google Earth and look at an aerial view of our house (you have the address). I plan the veggie garden to be the same length as the garage and right beside the garage and about 1/2 of the space between garage and south fence.
I saw the overhead on Google. It looks like you have a lot of space for a nice vegetable garden and a dog run. You, if you have the funds, could landscape with some nice Japanese Maples and big rocks. You know .... expensive stuff.
Hello raprice! Yes, I think there is room for a good sized veggie garden...at least as large as I want to attempt after so many years with no garden at all.
I like the idea of Japanese Maples and big rocks. I'm going to use plants from Tracy DiSabato-Aust's new book "50 High Impact, Low Care Garden Plants" See my blog entry from January 15. She does have a Japanese Maple in her group...a dandy one. Use the link in my post to go to her website and look at the sneak preview of her book.
Hi,
What vegetables are you going to plant? I already have a ton of garlic in the ground and am looking to grow some difficult to get items like Chinese Eggplant ... which I love. :)
Well, we want tomatoes, of course, herbs, peas, cabbage, spinach, cantalope, Chinese cabbage, mini sweet corn, green beans, onions. We'd love to put in garlic. Do you have any to spare?, green peppers, sweet banana peppers, maybe some lettuces. Maybe I'm biting off more than I can choose... But it's the biting in July, July, and Aug that I want. LOL
Garlic is treated as any bulb that you plant in the fall. You take a head of garlic remove the cloves leaving the clove intact and put it in the soil about 4-6" deep. You place the clove with the root end down. In the spring it is harvested. Simple really. On head of garlic should give you about 9-12 cloves. It is a little late now to put them in but there is always next year .... or Kroger if you like, L(
