Vegetable Gardening

[smilingcat]

Hi Oak,

Don't feel too bad about the deer and the effort taken to keep them out. There is a book titled The $64.00 Tomato. An idiots war with nature and his folly with nature.

The man obviously has no common sense when it came to gardening. He hired an land scape artist to design his garden and things just go downhill from there.

After reading one of the reviews on Amazon, I don't think I will bother with the book; but, the idea of $64.00 tomato just makes me shake my head. His "organic garden" ended up being a DOW chemical testing site and on EPA superfund site. Figuratively speaking ofcourse.

I tried posting my pics of my garden and it didn't upload will try again when I plant my Japanese pepper tree (sansho) Zanthoxylum piperitum This specie was banned in US till 2005? don't know why. but now its legal.

Anyway, should be receiving my berry plants today. and with the pepper trees by Friday, my garden will be more or less complete in terms of perennials. . Been a work in progress for quite some time. Removed sod, removed palm trees, removed giant tree ferns, removed giant bird of paradise over 20 feet tall... removed a sprinkler system, and replaced with drip irrigation... restarted on my collection of giant dahlias. Still have another palm tree and four other trees to remove on my property and about two years from now replace my magnolia tree with a Haas avocado tree. All of this on a 4000 sq foot property.
