    Its basically used on meats and even though there are 13 spices, it isnt a big recipe.

    I guess that means a trip to the garden centre to fill those pots up

    Anyone else having trouble finding dirt? The pots reminded me how much trouble I had trying to find actual soil at the store. I could get peat mixes, compost mixes, but not actual dirt. Landed up digging a hold in my garden to get soil for my pots and filling the hole with compost. Just though it odd that stores no longer sell regular soil other than for indoor pots.

    I am freaking out a bit because usually I find clearance on potting soil and manure but this year nothing. I hope I find something soon because I have a lot of pots to fill lol

    Meanwhile I found a fountain on sale at WM $166 for $62.50

    that one's really nice, patty.. the one i have has developed a crack in the bottom so it won't hold water any longer.. the pump is still good, i've been toying with the idea of just making a new one but i've been too lazy and unmotivated.. these five am shifts are killing me

    I ended up making the old one into a planter. I actually drilled more holes in it. These fibreglass ones or whatever they are made of crack ion our weather after a while.

    Nice! I love the coloring of that one I have one that's very similar to this one but I really like yours.

    yours is very beautiful too. Mine I happened to go by when I went into the home depot through their garden center, and it was full price and full of bugs but I kept staring at the one bloom it had open and had to have it. It is still in a small plastic pot it came in because I dunk it periodically to make sure the whiteflies don't come back. Maybe in fall or spring I repot it into a nice more permanent pot worthy of its pretty blooms. This is the first time I ever bought a plant I knew had bugs.

    What gorgeous gardens everyone has! Because we had to dig up our front walkway to cure our water and electrical problems, my front plants and hanging planters are all now bunched together. They seem to be doing better, actually. I kind of like the look! The back garden is a disaster. I have not found what will thrive there yet except for very industrious spiders.
    The poinsettia that I just plunked out there is holding it's own. If I have any ambition, I may try to bring it back in and see if I can get it to turn red for Christmas.
    The sedum is thriving and should have turned purple by the time we get back from Denver in two weeks.
    I tried portulaca and coleus in a pot and it goes in cycles of looking very nice and bleck! I planted marigolds which were the featured flower of "Cities in Bloom" - they didn't bloom. I got a nice " end of season - I think it's called English Sage and it's catching on. The bleeding hearts didn't do badly but the rose bush has been munched.
    I certainly haven't had much time for gardening, and it shows. Maybe I will be brave when I get home and take a few pix.

    I picked my rhubarb plant pretty clean a couple of days ago and sold the produce. The lady who bought it from me commented about this fuzzy white/yellow catapullar looking growth at the very base of the plant. She said that it was poisonous and not to touch it. Is this true? What is it? I've never seen it before. I planted this red rhubarb plant 10yrs ago.
