FL,

I thought chives where just the green part of the onion. You mentioned you have chives in your garden. Fill me in.

Felicia, next time you're in Vegas you HAVE to come to my house and help me figure out how to xeriscape my backyard! You don't have to get your hands dirty or anything, just tell me what to do and how to do it! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Just got back last night. What a madhouse!!! I'll never be able to tolerate playing in the main event. I hope Party can fix this. If not, I'll complain to every media person I know (I know most of them), and whine on camera how Party forced a person with cancer to play even though her husband won the seat and he was only following "their rules" with the one account per household thing when we signed up, lol.

Felicia [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

PS: I'll be happy to help you out.

Re: Question and Survey About Gardening/Landscaping
 

My veggies are doing great. We were getting so much lettuce there for a while we could hardly keep up. It's on its way out now, so I have to think what to do with the space that is opening up. My tomato plants are about 7 ft. tall now and all of them have plenty of unripe fruit on them. It won't be long now. The pepper plants are flowering and the herbs are doing great.

I haven't had any time to solve my lawn problem in the back and now the temps have skyrocketed. Not really a great time to seed. I missed the window of opportunity. I don't know if I can stand it the way it is though for the whole summer. Dirt, brown grass, and weeds. Lovely. It's just a large rectangular patch in the back, but that's really the open space of the yard not occupied by trees, patio, or pool. It's where our son would play if I could only get some green on it. I dropped the ball there.

The exciting news is that our treehouse project is underway. I really didn't think it was going to happen, but over Father's Day weekend we got the two main support beams up there, and since then we framed the floor and got that in place. It's 10 ft. up in the air and the finished dimensions will be 6'x8'. The thought was big enough for the three of us to sit up there comfortably. We're taking a break while my husband reconsiders the design plan. He's trying to figure the best way to get up there, ladders, trap doors, steps, that sort of thing. So far so good!

I would love to hear about other people's treehouse experiences, whether it be building them or playing in them as a kid, if it's o.k. with Felicia post here. If not, PM me.

....one bit of quick advice on the treehouse:

Try to avoid trap doors in the floor if you possibly can.

They can be very dangerous....all it takes is one forgetfull mis-step.....

When we moved into our house 2 years ago, wild chives were ravaging out lawn so bad I would almost tear up while mowing. Now that we have rid ourselves of them, I just can't stomach the thought of intentionally trying to grow them. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

With all the rain up nere in the NE, our tomatoes plants are getting awfully big though... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
