Comment on Make a garden playhouse from branches by elizabeth

Yes, definitely perfect for growing vines. I grew a new favorite scarlet runner bean, “Painted Lady,” this year that is a lovely coral color. Scarlet runner beans are incredible–attract hummingbirds, beautiful flowers, masses of heart-shaped foliage, edible beans both green and dried, and the most gorgeous seeds perfect for cooking or crafts! Can’t do much more for a $2.99 seed packet.

Looks great, Elizabeth – but kids would have to fight me to play in it, I would want to plant vines all over it! Wait, maybe we could all play together… me, kids and the vines? I’m thinking scarlet runners and purple-podded lab lab beans.

Comment on Winter gardening at thrift-store prices by Bruce

Well, I’m not sure the corn salad in my cold frame is going to make it through this storm! Not to mention the lettuce and spinach- we’ll see. Luckily my small greenhouse is somewhat protected by the nearby garage, or I’d lose everything in it and possible the greenhouse itself with all this wind! Snow, on the other hand, is a great insulator, so maybe I’ll get lucky with the cold frame we can only hope.

I was thinking about your low tunnels, and I was wondering if you’d read the book by Eliot Coleman called Four Season Harvest? In it he talks about the low tunnels or chennels (I think that’s how they spelled it) in Southern France and how they keep them from not only blowing off, but the setup allows you to do any work needed inside without taking the whole sheet of plastic off. You might want to check it out- it’s very inexpensive and I’ve used the method before- I plan on using in on the inside of the greenhouse at some point.

Keep warm!

I’ll try to pop back in soon.

Thanks for the tips! I actually got about a flat and a half’s worth of Blue Star Creeper (Isotoma) for my front garden from Freecycle. The lady didn’t even need to get rid of it – she just wanted to share her bounty!

Great website and blog, Elizabeth!

This winter post about poppies reminds me of Special Plants nursery, mail order out of the UK. They have a good selection of poppies – ‘Mother of Pearl’ is especially luscious. http://www.specialplants.net

Looks like an interesting and very helpful column- nice timing as so many people are turning to their gardens this year, I hope the trend continues. Happy gardening to you.

Hi Stephen,
It’s always best to connect with people in these communities who are already doing horticultural work to see what local resources are available and what expertise on crops they can offer. In the Las Vegas area, check with the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension office–it looks like they offer expertise and guidance on growing food crops in your area. Good luck!

We have a new project in Las Vegas developing gardens for people who are struggling to keep food on the table. We are doing the same in Laos and in Egypt. We need an expert to help us figure out what would be the best plants to grow to feed the family, as well as, what will work in the different climates. Our organization raises the money and will put in as much effort as needed for the project. In our organization 100% of the money raised goes to the project and we all pay our own expenses. If you would like to join our organization or advise us, please contact us ASAP. If a consultant fee is required we understand and will raise the needed funds within our members. I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask this question so if there is a place where anyone out there thinks would be a good place for us to find our expert please let us know that information as well. Thank you for your consideration. Stephen White powerwithpower@gmail.com
