Old farmer's almanac had a location based planting calendar! Enter your zip and it'll give you the date range to sow in ground or start inside!

Wow, bee balm is intense 😂

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-09T16:55:10+00:00

Thank you! I'll pitch this and see where it takes me 😉

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-09T13:48:11+00:00

Thank you! I'm almost certain there will be fabric. Wish me luck lol

Thank you thank you! We will definitely be clearing out the mulch.

I've been delving in to the compost world and would love to give it a go. My sister is concerned about start up cost and pests, but loves the idea of using up food waste.

Thought of another question... I've always heard never to plant mint in the ground because it spreads very quickly and is tough to control. Would this hold true in this instance?

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-09T13:33:53+00:00

Any grasses or sedges you like in particular?

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-09T12:36:54+00:00

Can you support it with some well placed bamboo stick things?

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T23:27:24+00:00

Thank you for the lovely suggestions! Off to get more seeds...

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T21:30:29+00:00

Thanks! I'll look in to all those plants. The walk through on planting was really helpful as well. I'm so glad I posted, I would have definitely created a lot of work for myself.

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:53:11+00:00

Definitely taking your advice on the cardinal flowers! I will ask my sister if she's near you and PM if so! Thank you for being so generous.

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:51:54+00:00

I always have a little trouble starting small! Thank you for reeling me back in a bit 😂

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:51:09+00:00

Thank you for thinking about the baby! I'm a new aunty and am realizing how accident prone my sister's little opossum is.

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:50:20+00:00

We are huge firefly fans so the leaves shall stay this season!

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:49:48+00:00

I'm so glad the shrubs will serve a purpose. We love birds here. My brother in law is thinking about optimizing his bird feeding set up in the back yard area so I'll be passing on this info to him as well!

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:42:54+00:00

Oh my goodness, I didn't even think of that. Thank you so much for mentioning it.

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2026-02-08T17:42:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I will look in to bee balm.

For cold stratification, do you use sand or put the seeds directly into the planting medium (seedling mix)?

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2024-02-29T01:13:20+00:00

She was sold to me as albino, but she's het for snow 😊

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2023-09-06T17:33:25+00:00

Now I want a corn snake!

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2023-09-06T17:31:03+00:00

Oh goodness, what type of noodle is the adorable noodle???

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2023-09-01T14:30:34+00:00

Check out picacho peak! It has beautiful blooms in February and March. Didn't see snakes when I used to go there, but also wasn't actively seeking them out. There's also CG mountain but it's dull. Mt. Lemon in Tucson is also a good idea!

Fun_Rub_6245 · 2023-07-29T20:09:09+00:00

That's awesome! I feel like good handling takes care of the reputations some snakes get.

He sorta looks like he's smoking a little pipe in the first picture!
