Self-watering container garden update: Oh, deer
I’m assuming it’s the deer who’ve deluded denuded (hah!! oops!!) my tomato plants’ lower portions. You’d think deer would get the stuff up high as well as the lower leaves. They don’t seem to be interested in the tomatoes, just the leaves. The basil and pepper remain untouched. I’m making a big batch of roasted [...]
Garden walkabout July 4, 2009

Oh, and Sudafed. Not that joke they put on the market called Sudafed PE. That stuff is worthless for sinus [...]
Dave’s Garden people are the best!
Dave’s Garden people are the best! Howie and I have known this for a long time, since 2001 as a matter of fact. When Howie had his life-changing back surgery at Johns Hopkins in 2006, it was DG people who buoyed our spirits in the forums during the months leading up to his surgery and [...]
