Hi:),
I'm so happy to have found a gardening forum!
I spend most of my time gardening outdoors in the summer.
With my perenial beds and my vegetable garden I have little time for other things during the warmer weather.
This season I'm very interested in starting strawberries on this huge burm I have on the side of my house. I know it's going to be a challenging project, because it's very steep and loaded with weeds. Hopefully I can get some tips from others on this forum on how to plant strawberries successfully.
I also have to rid of some stubborn flowering plants that have gotten so invasive and have become a real menace in my yard.
They're jerusulem artichokes loaded with flowers on top. Even though I practice organic gardening, I intend on using round up to rid of these pesky flowering plants that I never planted myself. They have taken over my whole back landscape, and now the bushes I did plant when I moved in, have been completely taken over my this menace.
When we had our home built, the person grading our property pushed them from the edge of the farm field next door to us, right up to the back of our home. They have multiplied like crazy and are completely out of control. I have tried everything to get rid of them and the last resort will be the round up. Hopefully this will rid of them for good.
I look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with others here:D
