(9,992 posts)I am going to try rooting some of that same Clematis from cuttings from a friend's vine. SO pretty.
And, as always, I am braced for the squash vine borers here too. I've pretty much resigned myself to growing zucchini for the blossoms instead of the vegetables. We do love to cook w/them the flowers and you can't get them in the grocery or even at the Farmer's Market, so blossom farming it is.
The newest pest is a little squirrel who has decided to eat every morning glory seedling as it comes up. I've been forced to start some in peat disks which I hope to transplant once they've made a second set of leaves. Will probably need some protective chicken wire too. Such a aesthetic blow to my artistic desire for lovely climbing vines and serene blue blooms, but can't let Mr. Squirrel win this battle.
Thanks for the links to your other posts. I've added Rural/Farm Life to my subscriptions so i won't miss another one. Love seeing all your growing things and ZOUNDS(!) you have a rescue deer? I must get reading on that story...
Now that I know where to find you, I look forward to reading updates on all the doings on your little homestead.
