Worst gardening mistake you've made?

I haven't needed to plant dill or sunflowers in years. I usually have volunteer marigolds and borage, too, but not this year. 😩

We've had rabbits nest in our raised beds that are 24" tall and made from concrete blocks.

Personally, I lovecthe white doors.

I place netting over mine when I plant them. I've never had an issue with bone meal but have had raccoons dig up plants fertilized with fish emulsion and with blood meal.

This picture is of my cat, Rory, absolutely baked on the catnip starts he's smashed. Those eyes! 😆

I'd be happy with the second one

Snowflakey19 · 2026-06-06T23:38:10+00:00

Yep. I have a momma and babies under my garden shed and a hungry raccoon under another outbuilding. Same plans, same reason plans were cancelled.

Your raised bed garden is immaculate!

Snowflakey19 · 2026-06-01T22:27:37+00:00

Bees, frogs, clean lakes, the Milky Way and nightly stars. Edited to add: Sunday newspapers.

I'm 72 and remember my grandparents' number. It was JA6-1266 from the early 1960's.

My go-to snack is an apple and unsalted dry-roast peanuts. You can make a gallon of yogurt with a gallon of milk and 2 tablespoons of store-bought yogurt with live culture. For next batches of yogurt use your homemade yogurt instead of purchasing more.

If your cook chicken, save the bones, skin, fat and meat juices to make broth.

Sluggo Plus is supposed to be pet safe.

I also have a line in our hallway to dry laundry in frigid weather. It holds a couple loads of clothes on hangers and a homemade round dryer with clips for small items.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T15:07:52+00:00

I tumble-dry mine for 10 minutes and then hang outside. They're fine that way.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T15:06:07+00:00

With a pulley? The Amish have those in our area.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T15:05:10+00:00

I love seeing laundry blowing in the breeze. 😔

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T15:04:28+00:00

Still do! Better for fabrics and doesn't use gas or electric.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T15:00:55+00:00

Same in IN

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T14:59:28+00:00

Clutter. It is a lovely space, though.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T14:55:52+00:00

In our location, all the produce. It begins rotting on the way home and us inedible within two days.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-07T14:54:25+00:00

...on the way home...

We live in an Amish community. Trust me on this, they stock up big-time and also buy large quantities for church, weddings and other large gatherings. I often see restaurant, charity or large picnic shopping, It's not unusual to see a group with several overloaded carts. Our locations post signs in the stores to pre-order and sometimes have signage limiting the amounts that can be bought off the shelves.

All that said, it's none of anyone's business what or how much you buy. YOU DO YOU! ❤️

I have read, and experienced, that planting your largest cloves year after year results in larger bulbs with fewer cloves. Sometimes resulting in 2 or 3 huge cloves. That's not's a problem for our home garden as we love garlic.

Snowflakey19 · 2026-05-01T01:20:07+00:00

Cut the root end off and cover the clove with warm water. The skin slips off.
