Yes I have seen the teepees, I am trying to train my 2yr old grandson to only walk on the paths.....<br />Noel, gosh that sounds interesting, I will be interested to read about indigenous micro organisms. I saw a show about a biodynamic farm where they had a big bin of roadkill full of maggots.... yeeuuw dont think I will be going that route!<br />thanks Linda, see you on the huntafricanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-89209516456293814562010-05-04T03:29:16.973+10:002010-05-04T03:29:16.973+10:00Stopping by on Merrilee's "scavenger hunt...Stopping by on Merrilee's "scavenger hunt."

It's nice to see what the plant looks like. Hope you get a good harvest.<br /><br />So clever of you to make a mid-day living shade. Some people I know make teepees out of tall bamboo poles and grow their beans that way. Fun for small children who like to go inside.Adrian Ayres Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057583835126786240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-11230105782045762182010-04-30T13:53:09.820+10:002010-04-30T13:53:09.820+10:00Diane, well this winter is better than last year, ...Diane, well this winter is better than last year, so I am hoping my soil just keeps improving....have a good time in Sydney. <br />Kyna, Thanks, I love that flower you have in your header -is it a columbine? <br />Floridagirl, I have discovered that I really like growing different things! I cant say the hubby is too enthralled about trying them all though! Pigeon peas should grow well in your summers too, and they really seem to have improved the soil. <br />Sanddune, I am glad it worked out as planned - sometimes things dont... glad your comfrey is doing well. I managed to start 5 more from my one plant and they are all doing well. Great for heating up the compost.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-89940426842722884012010-04-30T06:27:50.918+10:002010-04-30T06:27:50.918+10:00That's a really clever idea with multiple uses...That's a really clever idea with multiple uses as you point out.I have my new comfrey plants up about a foot or so now.Some pigeon peas might be next on the list.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-33943415031448673752010-04-29T22:52:36.283+10:002010-04-29T22:52:36.283+10:00That is a very creative use of pigeon peas.

I've never heard of a pigeon pea. Sounds a good idea to keep the midday sun off. I'm still struggling to produce good veggies. Each time I plant it gets a little better. However we're off to Sydney for three weeks so I'll try again when we return.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.com
