A little bit goes a LONG way...Also, keep it away from the stems of the plants and water it in very well...

thanks fella's i have 3 shi tzu's and a basset hound that are in love.. they love to roll in the scent and then try to come thru the doggie door...nay nay..i am guessing to poop to be 6-8 mths old its broken down into dirt looking stuff but still stinks to the max..i guess i will till the rows and then spread it and re till i guess we will see

Looks good man.

Count your blessings. My dogs like to eat possums and then lick you in the face.

I have to watch out for my dog cause this sucker will eat all the frogs in the area also. I like the frogs in the garden so they can take care of the bigger and flying bugs.

Well, I've given in to the fact that the onions aren't going to make it. Any suggestions on something I can put in their place? Whatever it is won't be able to crawl or sprawl. It's a square foot garden and whatever I put there can't be very tall and I don't want to wait for the fall.

I'd probably look at peppers...There are still some good varieties out there and they do well in the hot months.

It's not to late for okra and it does really well in the heat.

Yes, but in the type of garden he is talking about, there really isn't enough room for okra...Unless he can find a dwarf plant...Most okra plants get between 4 feet tall and 9 feet tall...Not to mention the width...

I've got a special spot for the okra. It's a couple inches tall at the moment

I was thinking about some more bush beans. The Roma II beans that I have only get a couple feet tall. That's one option. The other option is a smaller pepper plant but I don't know what kind would be smaller. I already have bells and jalapenos.

Came home Saturday and went to throw some rotten fruit in the compost bin. I had a swarm of bees on the lid, which I did not know until I threw the lid on the ground. Thank goodness they didn't sting me. They were pretty docile, actually. Fascinating creatures. Most of them are gone now, but it was nice while they were here.

Probably looking for a good nest site. Keep checking to make sure they don't start building. Had a colony set up in my water meter last summer. The meter reader was not amused.

I'm in the process of getting a hive on purpose and becoming a bee keeper.....don't know what I'm doing but a local in the area is going to help me get started. a block from the house is a elementary school with thousands of wild flowers so I'm thinking they will have plenty to eat.
