If I didn't have critter...You said it Mama Pea. If I didn't have critters of all sorts on the farm I A. wouldn't have a farm and B. would get a heck of a lot more done lol<br /><br />You would be proud as today I got the green house put back together and the seedlings planted for lettuce, radishes, snap peas and in a daring attempt of off season green house gardening heritage cherry tomato seeds in a couple of containers. We will see! <br /><br />Thanks for asking but my rosemary just grew. I got her at the nursery as a little sprout and she liked it. I wish I had a magic formula for it but nope. Put in ground and watered. Heck she was about two years old before I even added any munchies in her space. To be honest I think I just got lucky.

I love raised beds but I wish Geoffrey...Yes and no. I love raised beds but I wish Geoffrey had done two things that I would have done. He was the master gardener at the point these were built. <br /><br />I would have made them higher as , while we age the ground gets further away. And they are , as Flame, on the wrong side of the fence. <br /><br />When he built these two years into his leukemia we had no idea how the ground squirrel population was going to explode. We had them in Fresno county but they were very limited because of all the farms around us. But hindsight is just that . Later I will share my plan for 2019 that will hopefully fix that.

What characters animals can be!<br /><br />Also enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading about your garden and what you're doing in it right now.<br /><br />I have a rosemary plant that didn't grow nearly as much as I would have liked it to in the garden this year. Have never had luck bringing one in to winter over, but know it will die if I leave it outside. Any special tips for me?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010796120994006555.post-61325847893139082022018-09-16T16:01:46.319-07:002018-09-16T16:01:46.319-07:00Looks like a good place for raised beds.Looks like a good place for raised beds.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
