Do you take before and after pictures with your garden?

Having returned form my trip, my contact is Dallas is building a 5 acre lagoon. They are using some kind of liner for theirs. Said it should last about 25 years.

 

Happy birthday!! So late, or so early.

 

WAAAAYYY cheaper than buying, I suspect. Saffron is super expensive. About two decades, a student of mine gifted me a bag of saffron. He was a chef and a tempo teacher. Knowing I am a foodie, he gave me his generous gift. When I told him I couldn't take something so expensive, he told me that as a chef, he was given so much of it that he wouldn't be able to use it in his lifetime. I see his point. I use it from time to time and in that time, have not used it up yet.

 

That sounds amazing! I had priced out a liner when we first got here and got a quote for someone who was willing to work on it, but the shipping cost was super high.

 

Maraming Salamat! This made my day. It will be my birthday again in almost exactly 3 months. When is your birthday?

 

Haven't taken any pictures missed one day spraying deer repellent and they got all my snap beans, peppers, an even ate the tops off my tomatoes,

 

@johnbb Oh no! That wasn't very nice at all.

 

Also in three months!

 

How much liner do you need? I can check if the company I deal with has some extra cut off.

 

Getting lots of coconuts this year!

I'll edit in what im doing , Im in training from a few ladies and the plant house boss.
Pix to come, leave camera on golf cart when using big equipment ,like today.

 

@Cruisin Sloth your garden sounds amazing and I'm really looking forward to seeing pictures soon! Thornless black berries sound amazing! I loved picking blackberries when I lived in WA state, but the thorns were always so brutal. I have mulberries here and appreciate the lack of thorns. I really should build a greenhouse to protect my berries. Otherwise, the birds feast on them as much as possible. I would love to get some blueberries this year, but I know that without the protection, they don't stand a chance.

Sage and rosemary is doing really well here. I would love to start growing Walking Egyptian Onions if I can find them. I also want to try garlic again. I think my soil wasn't deep enough the last time I tried it.

 

I wanted to share some Golden Hour Magic with you!

Thank you for the update, Sloth! I really enjoyed the video.

 

For @Alanaana

 

Thank you for sending these recordings! Your gardens are incredible. You all do such a great job with everything and really inspire me a lot.

 

I've been busy picking lots of purple beans and peppers. And am currently bottle feeding some new born piglets.

More pics coming soon! Sadly, this herb and flower garden will have to move because we are switching from cesspool to septic and the new septic tank will be installed here this week.

 

Just finished fencing in one garden I had beans an 30 tomato plants. Deer got every green and almost ripe tomatoes --won't be canning any this year.
