Brag, ask questions, make suggestions, and post photos of your plants and gardens here!
1) Post photos! - Images will be the key to making this thread useful (imagine diagrams of what to prune!). 2) Let's try to post new threads, with good, relevant titles, for each topic, instead of creating long threads filled with a variety of stuff. I WILL take liberties in this particular...
Fairly new to BC and to Nanaimo, and I have been researching what type of ground covers would be best. We have a large hill in the front yard that needs some major aesthetic work. I need to find an economical way to make this area look better. One idea I had was to plant a fast growing, deer...
Since I moved in my yard has gotten a little out of control with the moss. It's also got some dips and peaks, nothing too serious. That I think I can level out with some good soil and a shovel. But the MOSS is choking out everything. Grass, even the weeds. And my land is so hard I can barely get...

I'm starting this forum up the right way, with some serious bragging. Here are the radishes I pulled from my garden yesterday, June02. Who says this is the "Great White North", anyway? It must be pretty balmy to yield vegetables in early June! (I started these indoors and moved them outside...
HOWDY FOLKS!! Seeing as River Rat started this gardening section (THANKS RR!!) off with a bragging photo of his Radishes I thought I would post a picture of me holding some of the Walla Walla Onions I grew back in 2002. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r62/CanonlyGetbetter/100_0393.jpg ...
