Ah ha! Added motivation to find some hummingbird feeders at yard sales.

I thought I had a rabbit problem... but turns out my Pomeranian and Poodle like eating kale...!

My garden continues to thrive, and at present my roommate is enjoying the fruits of my labors... I really should ask her to take a few cellphone pics and upload for your pleasure! I am growing all types of greens, chives, onions, parsley, dandelion, catnip, catmint, and a few flowers... I ended up having to fence it in with a low fence to protect the greens from my ravenous fur babies (the Pommy LOVES kale and green leaf... *laughing*) but it's still a cheerful, open, airy garden space.

I'm glad you all set with your garden. I think you can finally enjoy your big garden. It's good if you protect it with the fence.

Hello,
I only have a "tiny garden" outside on my widowsill, 10 planters. Last year I grew herbs, mini tomatoes and even a bellpepper. But in summer some little white flies ate "my herbs".
Right now I have stinging nettle, fenugreek, mint, cress, savory, celery leaves, coriander, oregano, thyme and chives. All the plants look very healthy right now. Hope they will grow on like this.
What do you think, is it better to water the plants in the morning or in the evening.
What would you do against those little flies and other animals that eat "your Herbs" (completely).
Bye Bye from Cologne Germany

I generally water in the evening... but I live in the hot, dry desert and if you water in the morning, the water evaporates and doesn't saturate the soil properly.What do you think, is it better to water the plants in the morning or in the evening.
I've sprayed my plants with a dishsoap + water combination and that seems to ward off some of the devouring insects... also, I planted companion plants that are supposed to ward off local desert prowlers... seems to be working. I haven't seen my garden in a week (out of state at the moment) but my roommate sent photos and it is FLOURISHING!What would you do against those little flies and other animals that eat "your Herbs" (completely).You are not responsible for others reactions to you or assumptions about you.

New house- sloped sunny spot.
Need to build a new garden and the best sun on the lot is on the side of the house and driveway so we plan to build a few terraces to flatten the slope and fill with good soil, moss and compost.
Deciding what to build with.
- wood
-stone
- brick
- combo
Local farm delivers great soil and I will prep before dumping new clean soil.

I spray with dish soap, ammonia, pepper sauce and onion/garlic juice to control pests.

Doesn't that also "control" the good guys as well? Which means no lady bugs, praying mantis, spiders to eat the "pests"? Originally Posted by big foot marty
