Where to place a Coldframe???
NEW! We are moving moving and finally able to have a garden! SO excited! Remember all the work I did as a kid....but sadly I didn't pay much attention to the PLANTING part :( I was pulled in for child labor on the harvesting, cleaning, shucking and shelling ;)
I have read a post here about preparing the ground without tilling by using cardboard, newspaper and layering it over time until needed. I KNOW the spot I chose has clay. I could make bricks. I want to use THAT spot for root vegetables (if you guys think I can do it after a winter of preparing the soil with the layer method and heavy composting...we are making bins now)
I want to do my vegetables in an entirely diff spot but the grass is CRAZY thick. My grandfather built this home by hand...he did things for everyone and helped build the school's stadium....then brought the spare sod over and we have LUSH, grass that kids will knock on the door just to ask if they can play football out there :)
(I have all girls but they are happy about having this yard...lol)
I have multiple questions....the cold frame first because I'm a talker and jump topic, so sorry, bear with!!
WHAT side of the house would I need to place this for best results? My husband chose a spot but I'm not liking it. The location? IDEAL for "looks" due to it being right behind our garage, up against cinder block and "he" said he would build up the frame with cinder block to the same size...fill in dirt and then frame it from there so it's all nice looking.....me? I think that's not a bad "idea" but that spot is COLD! (when I say I'm a beginner? I AM but I have a "little" idea from just living that life...I can't help much but instinct is there? make any sense? It just feels WRONG...kinda like wearing gloves when planting...I can't do it....can't FEEL what I'm doing) It's even a cool spot in summer...the ground is a bit sandy/rocky...even though I won't actually PLANT there, will it not be too cold? I noted the sandy bare aspect because I think it's due to little light, cold and damp...I don't want my seeds to mold! (I've noticed I have mixed soil in so many areas).....a barn is directly in front of it so it may block my sun....thoughts? Ideas? I can post some photo's a little later.
WHAT is the easiest way to build a cold frame? We were going to buy all the materials but we SCORED yesterday! I noticed the sun shine off something buried half in the wood-line....of course i am a "trash to treasure" type girl so I wandered (more like waddled...I'm 6 months pregnant at age 37 with number 5 :) ANYWAY, wandered/waddled over and saw a shattered full framed glass door. :( I was so sad. My husband went to pull it up so we could clear it. (I have teen daughters but one IS only 3 so she would be the one to fall in that and get cut). He pulled it up....it was double paned, only ONE side broken! YES! THEN? I not only found a very cute salamander and started a science lesson with the toddler but 3 MORE buried doors....UNtouched but FILTHY! Must clean. SO?
Because of their length, I'm worried about how sturdy they will be. Hubby said to frame up, add hinges and a seal and a handle. hmmm. I think We should frame up the GLASS a little as well so it's got support in the "center"....then hinge and handle. (I CAN use a power saw ;)
WHAT is the process of seed starting in these? ANY time?? Do I have to wait till After Christmas as I've read some say? Is there a list of plants I can start from seed and WHEN to start from seed?
I like "natural" so I would be using homemade seed containers from egg shell cartons and the like. Would they break down before I have a chance to plant my "plant"?
I don't want to start TOO early and my seedlings be TOO large for my frame and end up having to lug them into the laundry/sunroom (husband would SHOOT me....well...not really but he would want to...lol)
Sorry if I'm all over the place with this. I have not gardened even with flowers in so very long and I miss it. My little boy passed away at the age of five, almost 5 years ago (this coming June is 5 years)....I gave up on the yard. I was about a year into working with a family owned nursery...learning plants and getting cuttings and doing my thing. He helped me....I just let it all grow wild or get choked out.
Last week I dug up my bulbs.... I have Hosta, Daylily, lots of woodland plants....Trillium that I had to SCROUNGE for...Ferns, Strawberry Vine, Purple Oxalis (sp? it's been so long I can hardly remember)...Hellabore, Iron Plant (green and aggressive...Not sure if it's the real name but I heard it called that)...I have a LOT of hard to find things that I can still get to and have not died out...I used to know ALL the names but some have escaped me....Can I dig those now or just hope my house doesn't sell before spring (which would be a nightmare as I want OUT from under a mortgage!!!) CAN I move those plants?? Can I dig any and dry them out....save till spring and just wait the 2 years (I'm assuming) for them to come back? SO MUCH TO DO!
The Bulbs are "heirloom" family bulbs. I am NOT leaving my momma's plants here! SO? Gotta figure out whether to dry/store those till later and plant OR to get busy before it's entirely TOO cold now?
*SIGH*....anyone have a headache yet :)
Hope for help. Think I found a good spot to start! I've looked at your plant swap post and saw some faces...wondered if I may know anyone. I would LOVE to become a part of a group that can teach me! I want to be sure MY GIRLS I learn! I am so ready to try and supplement my groceries. I want to grow herbs, food. I want to plant some fruit tree's for when I'm older so my kids have them.
I came from a family that did everything they could by hand. I didn't keep that up :( when I had friends over they wondered why our meat was wrapped in "brown paper" :)
We have 65 acres about 5 miles from the "homestead" as it was called....it had EVERYTHING!!! I used to wake up at darkthirty and go harvest. So fun.....We had our own cows....we kept those in another area of course...sold most but kept "meat" for slaughter. We had chickens, pigs. I think the only thing momma (granny really but she raised me) bought from the "store" was flour, sugar etc. She made EVERYTHING! I just cleaned the butter churn out yesterday that I watched her work over while I played in the yard! I miss her. Quilt racks that were suspended in the ceiling and I can remember my aunt's sitting around it all chatting and working away.
I may never get THAT far in our busy lifestyle but I'm ready to SLOW IT DOWN and teach my kids that life isn't ALL ABOUT processed foods from the grocery and McDonalds. My teens are excited.....my toddler will LOVE it! Husband wasn't raised like I was, he was a military brat and became a soldier. He's all done now and ready to help out....but I cannot depend on much other than "muscle" till I can learn and pass it on.
lemme have it guys. Think newbie, basic carpentry skills....good instincts and learns quickly....retains it fast. I know I have "big plans" but I'm going to start slow...learn as I go and increase.
Getting what I CAN "moved" without killing it from this spot....and it's GROWN UP and out of control. (like random garden plants growing wild in a woods!!! so I want to save what I can)
Getting that cold frame built and seeds started.
Getting my "spots" started with the no till method for spring planting WITH my seedlings. :)
COMPOST help!!!! I need LOTS and we are only using 2 trash bins so any idea how to build a bigger one for the edge of the woods would be helpful too.
Is my post in the right spot....I hated to put all this in "separate" posts all over because I have such limited time on the computer (I mentioned teens right lol) I would love to be able to come "here" and read any tips and if you can LINK me to a good post/read, I can do that too!
Thanks so very very much in advance.
PS----including a photo of the door that now has only "one pane"...you can see a second one beside it that is still a double. (we have 3 double pane and the one that was shattered remains a single)
HOPING that dirt is only on the outside but IF it's on the inside...HOW can I "break" one pane without harming the other?? YES they are NASTY....We were not dressed for yard work so we are going to clean them this weekend. BUT! That's the spot he want's to put them (the cold, dreary spot) He say's it's on the NORTH side of the home....(but there is a barn 10 feet in front and this gets LITTLE sun due to that.
Ignore that ugly wiring! There was an outdoor industrial type light mounted above somewhere and those are coming off!
Why are you so focused on a coldframe -- on the north side of the house? I doubt it will get enough sun to be productive. Personally, I would forgo the season extension methods until after you get the swing of the local seasons.
It's too late in the year to get anything started for winter except garlic, but many things do fine outdoors in the winter here without protection provided you start them early enough in the fall to reach most of their growth. Cabbage, kohlrabi, collards, spinach and so forth.
With very few exceptions, I direct seed almost everything. I have very little luck with cool weather crops in the spring here -- it just gets too hot too fast -- but peas, radishes, lettuce and other quick varieties will make it before the heat does.
I direct seed cabbage and cauliflower in late Jan (and they don't always make it), lettuce in early Feb and other spring crops like peas, radishes, mustard, Irish potatoes, beets and turnips about Valentine's Day.
Summer crops go in about Easter; fall crops in July and winter crops in August, then back around to garlic in mid to late October.
I suggest you wander over to the ACES web site and indulge your inner elephant's child. They have garden calendars, notes of successful local methods and much more.
At this point in the season, if I were you I would:
- Focus on building compost bins and collecting composting material. There's nothing wrong with a plain old compost pile; no bin necessary.
- Work on other infrastructure, like fencing, sheds and raised beds if you are going to use them.
- A drip irrigation system is a big help here; you may want to plan for that.
- How are you going to preserve your bounty next year? If you have plans for canning, drying, etc., get yourself organized and prepared while it's the off season with drying racks and such. Root cellars don't really work very well here but finding the cool spots in or under your house will help some for potatoes and such.
- Frankly, I'd till up your garden spot now to help kill weed seeds and roots, and rake the grass up and either compost it or burn/trash it. If you have bermuda or a similar grass thug, don't try to compost it! Even if you plan to be no-till in general, it will help get your spot started.
One last thought on homemade seed containers: Like I said, I don't start much indoors now -- more effort than it's worth -- but when I do I use either old nursery pots so that I don't have to transplant them into another pot before they go in the ground, or I have some love wooden seed flats that work better than anything else for a nice mix of moisture retention vs. too wet. I used to make newspaper pots, but I found the plants developed healthier root system when I took the paper off before planting -- the paper didn't biodegrade quite as fast as the plants need root space.
Welcome to Gardenweb. So sorry to hear about your loss.
Not much to add to Nicole's great advice but couldn't pass on without lending mental support to your efforts! It's a good time to move most plants, it JUST stopped being too hot to do so, at least down here, not too far... Whatever you have enough to part with, plan those for that swap. Wish I lived close enough to come to that. From what I've seen here, there's usually a spring and fall one. Can you include something in your sale that preserves your right to retrieve plants, maybe to a particular date? Maybe worth asking about.
Agree that an open pile is a fine way to compost, that's how I've always done it. If it's organic, it'll rot, pile it up and/or spread it around. Also do a lot of sheet composting by sometimes just putting compostables in a bed instead of pile. Just depends on what/when it is. There's also a 55-gallon plastic drum I use to compost dangerous stuff, like live grass that I dig up, trimmings of stuff that can propagate, taproots. I know they'll definitely be killed in that thing. Leaves take up too much room in a pile, so we usually just spread those around the beds, preferably chopped by the mower first. The only things I don't put in there are any kitchen scraps that would make my dog want to tear into things (so we just feed him those outright,) big thorns, the occasional poison ivy sprout, bones, sticks larger than a finger, large quantities of dairy/oily/salty stuff, weeds with seeds. Everyone has their own "rules" depending on their situation and lifestyle. If you have the space, a brush pile is a fine thing to have too, so you can eventually reclaim larger pieces of OM when they have finally broken down.
Sounds like you might already be familiar with the wide variety of forums on Gardenweb... like veggies, propagation, seed starting, soil/mulch, organic. Have you read some of the stuff at the frugal forum? I've gotten a ton of great ideas there, we have plants all around this big yard but spend very little money on doing so.
Your photo didn't make it, which was probably because you edited your comments after selecting it. Happens to a lot of people. When you click "preview" the pic info is no longer in the browse box, so if you edit comments and click preview again, the pic is gone. Try again?

(CBS/AP) OREM, Utah - Not that many crooks get caught because they left their homework at the scene of the crime... but police in Orem, Utah say that's exactly how they recently caught one teenage burglar.
Authorities in the central Utah city say they tracked down a teen burglar who abandoned a backpack at a home he broke into - a backpack that contained a USB computer drive with the suspect's homework on it, which helped police arrest him.
They say the computer hard drive contained homework belonging to 18-year-old Dallas Naljahih and led them to his home.
A 75-year-old man and his wife reported their home had been burglarized early Saturday. The husband says he was woken up by a light in his office, and found a man looking through a desk.
The suspect punched the homeowner and fled on foot.
Police say Naljahih was later found asleep at his own house along with evidence connecting him to the burglary.
To catch a thief...there's a USB for that!

Elegant program
My programs arrived yesterday and they are beautiful! The editors were excellent helped to make a beautiful product. There were a few times that it was difficult for me to edit (before ordering) such as changing and checking the font but it all turned out well (I asked the editor to check and change the fonts). The paper is of the highest quality and the printing is very clear. I highly recommend Magnetstreet.
Nice and elegant
Just received the programs and they were printed exactly how you create them online. I got the shimmer paper. Not this only shimmers on white background. Other than that, awesome!!!! They also give you any extras they had left from printing which is nice. When you ordered 100 you actually get about 110.
Excellent Wedding Program
I wanted a classy looking wedding program but didn't want to pay the expensive prices to get it done at a professional invitationer. I love that I could order a proof before I ordered the programs. That way I could be 100% certain that the programs would come out the way I wanted. The final product was perfect!!
Incredible service & designs
All I can say is that I am beyond satisfied with both the quality and service this company provides. I needed my wedding programs rushed, and Katie Robichaud (a Magnet Street employee) made it happen! She personally babysat my project. For an anxious bride a week before the wedding, this was a major stress reliever. In addition to my programs I bought the STD magnets and invitations. I was told our invitations were the best anyone had seen in a very long time. I honestly received nothing but compliments. Thank you Magnet Street!
AMAZING product and FABULOUS service
For my wedding, MagnetStreet made the save the dates, the invitations and the programs. Each piece was absolutely perfect. The price was great because they always sent 25% off coupons and their product is just reasonable. Great reactions from our family and guests on each piece. They tailored to our desires without charging us extra. I have recommended this site to soooo many of my family and friends. Great work!

We think this BART car has made itself perfectly clear. It absolutely, most definitely, does not want you to sit down. Not that you were planning to anyway.
While not quite as spectacular as the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich or when Gov. Jerry Brown couldn't find a seat, Jay Leno's face has been riding around with us on the floor of a BART car. Just don't tell us what that stain is made of. Because, eww.
h/t BART rider Martin: "Jay Leno's profile stained on BART train floor"
Because people
sometimes often need advice on how to act like decent human beings, BART has issued new courtesy posters and a "crowded car survival guide" video aimed at teaching riders how to act on its trains. The poster and video tackle the often griped about backpack problem, how to let people off before you board, as well as no-brainers like giving your seat to pregnant, elderly, and disabled riders. Noticeably absent is the controversial topic of manspreading. BART just didn't want to go there, we can only guess.
A new map plots hotels by price next to BART stations to help out-of-towners take advantage of our oh-so-colorful public transit system during their visit. The creator of the map, Jeff Howard, says that it isn't so easy to find out all the information you need near a public transit system, so he's created a few of these maps for some metropolitan cities for transit-minded travelers. You can peek a larger version of the map on his website.
Howard has also created maps for cities including Hotels Near DC metro, NJ Hotels Near NYC, and Hotels Outside Boston. So now you know where to stay should your travels take you to DC, New York, Boston or Dublin … California.
P.S. For a fantasy trip, we recommend that Mario Kart's Rainbow Road BART map. Power up.
The sounds emanating from that thing have to be better than the terrible screeching of the trains, right? Also, that has to be this guy we saw on Muni last month, right?
Via emichbe
Just what we all needed to hear: People are still contracting measles and still spreading it on public transit in the Bay Area.
The latest possible contagion, reported this afternoon on SFGate, involves a Peninsula passenger who rode BART from Millbrae to SF last week. According to SFGate:
"The exposure is the second time this month that a person with measles rode BART, prompting a campaign to alert riders to possible exposure. In the most recent case, the individual got on a Richmond-bound train at the Millbrae Station at about 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 20 and got off at the Civic Center Station about 5 p.m."
Two weeks ago, we told you about the first measles scare for BART riders, as well as some choice rider responses. What do you guys have for us this time?
Read the whole story on SFGate.

BJ'S BLOG 07/06/12 "How to Coexist"
by BJ Shea
posted Jul 6 2012 9:19AM
Earlier this week, we received this message from Thomas on Facebook:
Hello BJ,
I had a question I thought you might be able to help me with. My father was adopted and he refuses to find his real parents and says I would be dishonoring him if I found them. I feel that not looking for them and knowing who our real family is dishonoring my right to know. Should I look for them or respect my father's wishes.
Thanks BJ,
Boy, my generation has really raised our children to believe they can do any friggin' thing they want. Some young people in this country think there are no rules, no boundaries and are allowed to do whatever they please.
We have to live on this planet with other people surrounding us; it's not all about you. You can't be a narcissistic person and think that the whole world revolves around you because you have to live and coexist with others on this planet. That means you can't do everything YOU want to do.
If someone wants one thing and you want another thing, then you have settle in the middle.
I'm sorry Thomas, but I think you're clueless. Is it really that important to find the people who gave up your father? What good can come out of it and is it worth jeopardizing your relationship with your father?
I came from a family where wewere all adopted and my sister decided to go find her birth family. The pain on my father's face was one I never wanted to cause him. My father raised us; he was there through the good and the bad. Her birth family got to have fun and party with her and not have to deal with all those bad times and it's not fair.
Respect your father's wishes, think of someone else's needs and wants for a change. It's how co-existence works.

Well said
I usaully don't follow blogs, twitters etc... But you were spot on. Let it go little man and let your dad enjoy what he has and not what you want him to have.
WTF? your "real family"?
What do you think family means? Family are the people who love, support and pick you up when you fall. The people who commit to you and whom you commit to. IOW, the people who raised your father. When you marry, you will sometimes have to prioritize between 'rents and wife. Real men choose wives well, and then commit to wife/kids before parents. After you convince your Dad who his family should be, gonna convince your Mom that she should have used birth control? :/

In response to:
Yes, our health care is the most expensive on earth--because it's the best. It costs more to provide dialysis than let the patient die. Same with heart operations. I have just lived an additional 14 years (with more to go) thanks to my heart operation. But if I lived in England I would be dead. I broke my arm there some years ago, went to the hospital emergency room, and didn't get an Xray, didn't get a cast, never saw a doctor. When I got home I had general anesthesia to re-break the arm and set it right. But the English health care was FREE.......yeah.

Love them
Modern and simple. I am very happy with them. The only thing I will note is that the yellow text on my white card was not as easy to read as it appeared on the computer screen. If I had the choice I would change them, but it is too late now.
just what we wanted
It was so great to be able to customize the invites with our colors. Found a design we both loved and the price was great.
Easy to work with!
Appreciated having the opportunity to review samples! Order shipped so fast!
We really wanted an invitation that wasn't overly fancy. This was perfect. It came in our wedding colors, and was easy to design, and was exactly what we were looking for. The only downfall was that, because the invites are square, they do cost more to send. Our's were $0.70 each. Overall, we loved them.
Wonderful Quality
Received my invitations last week and I am so impressed. They are great quality. They were so easy to customize online, shipped very quickly and I am thoroughly pleased with them. I chose the Luxe Pearl paper and was not disappointed, the quality was well worth the price.

Betula pendula (Silver Birch) is a widespread European birch, though in southern Europe it is only found at higher altitudes. Its range extends into southwest Asia in the mountains of northern Turkey and the Caucasus. The closely related Betula platyphylla in northern Asia and Betula szechuanica of central Asia are also treated as varieties of Silver Birch by some botanists, as B. pendula var. platyphylla and B. pendula var. szechuanica respectively (see birch classification).It is a medium-sized deciduous tree, typically reaching 15–25 m tall (exceptionally up to 39 m[4]), with a slender trunk usually under 40 cm diameter (exceptionally to 1 m diameter), and a crown of arched branches with drooping branchlets. The bark is white, often with black diamond-shaped marks or larger patches, particularly at the base. The shoots are rough with small warts, and hairless, and the leaves 3–7 cm long, triangular with a broad base and pointed tip, and coarsely double-toothed serrated margins. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins, produced before the leaves in early spring, the small (1–2 mm) winged seeds ripening in late summer on pendulous, cylindrical catkins 2–4 cm long and 7 mm broad.[3][5]
It is distinguished from the related Downy Birch (B. pubescens, the other common European birch) in having hairless, warty shoots (hairy and without warts in Downy Birch), more triangular leaves with double serration on the margins (more ovoid and with single serrations in Downy Birch), and whiter bark often with scattered black fissures (greyer, less fissured, in Downy Birch). It is also distinguished cytologically, Silver Birch being diploid (with two sets of chromosomes), whereas Downy Birch is tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes). Hybrids between the two are known, but are very rare, and being triploid, are sterile.[3] The two have differences in habitat requirements, with Silver Birch found mainly on dry, sandy soils, and Downy Birch more common on wet, poorly drained sites such as clay soils and peat bogs. Silver birch also demands slightly more summer warmth than does Downy birch, which is significant in the cooler parts of Europe. Many North American texts treat the two species as conspecific (and cause confusion by combining the Downy Birch's alternative vernacular name 'White Birch', with the scientific name B. pendula of the other species), but they are regarded as distinct species throughout Europe.[3][5]
It commonly grows with the mycorrhizal fungus Amanita muscaria in a mutualistic relationship. This applies particularly to acidic or nutrient poor soils. Other mycorrhizal associates include Leccinum scabrum and Cantharellus cibarius. Old trees are often killed by the decay fungus Piptoporus betulinus, and the branches often have witch's brooms caused by the fungus Taphrina betulina.[5]
[edit] Cultivation and uses
Betula pendula 'Laciniata'
Silver Birch is often planted as a garden and ornamental tree, grown for its white bark and gracefully drooping shoots, sometimes even in warmer-than-optimum places such as Los Angeles and Sydney. In Scandinavia and other regions of northern Europe, it is grown for forestry. It is sometimes used as a pioneer and nurse tree elsewhere. It is naturalised and locally invasive in parts of Canada.[6] Birch brushwood is used for racecourse jumps, and the sap can be brewed into a "wine". Historically, the bark was used for tanning.[7]
Successful birch cultivation requires a climate cool enough for at least the occasional winter snowfall. As they are shallow rooted they may require water during dry periods. They grow best in full sun planted in deep, well-drained soil.
