A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2007 I have no idea what I'm doing

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm having fun anyway. This is my second year with gardening. My strawberries are OFF THE HOOK JUICY! I have 5 sections - strawberries (as mentioned) a culinary section (for the chef husband) and a medicinal section (to support my lotion, and lip balm making habit)and of course tomatoes - this year I added a new section in the front with Spaghetti Squash and Mammoth Sunflowers!!! I just love that front garden. I swear I can sit and watch the sunflowers grow - wow they grow FAST!!

However, I don't know anything about fertilizers or mulch or timing or any of that. All I know right now is that everything is apparantly still alive... good start eh? I'm looking forward to learning from you.

Oh - I just love this web site. I've been here for over an hour and just can't get enough of it!

Thanks for letting me be here.

I can't wait to check out the NUT HOUSE!

So glad you are enjoying the Forum Would like to welcome you and please come often. :)Sue

Hi LibbyBuck!

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome LibbyBuck You have a wonderful place to be online & your garden sounds beautiful:)

Hi LibbyBuck
Welcome to the forum
Nice to meet you.

I feel so welcomed. Peaceonya!

I am interested in knowing how you make the lip balm and lotion out of the plants!

The plants are really more of an additive = an "active ingredient" as they say. The base is a combination of oils/temp and good ol fashioned love...

Thanks for asking!,

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like your gardening habit is off to a great start. If you like sunflowers you might be interested in Michael's sunflower thread in Gardeners Chat. There are great pictures posted.
