Please post more on how things grew. I'm interested to see how you did.<br /><br />DianePhiliaDiDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740524335841504805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-77851529160819060582009-08-30T09:09:07.925-04:002009-08-30T09:09:07.925-04:00My seeds are in, (I sent you an e-mail the other d...My seeds are in, (I sent you an e-mail the other day) so I can send some packets up when ever you would like them!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-91570119127470611222009-08-28T13:07:27.160-04:002009-08-28T13:07:27.160-04:00Hi Thomas - re your earlier comments about the Jap...Hi Thomas - re your earlier comments about the Japanese garden .... you'll be fine providing you choose clumping bamboo rather than running bamboo. Black bamboo 'Phyllostachys Nigra' is a good bet - it stays in a nice neat clump, takes about 10 years to fully mature and looks great in winter with its black stems!<br /><br />I think a Japanese themed shadey garden would be lovely next to your plot. Go for it!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-8488275880931260472009-08-28T01:12:55.602-04:002009-08-28T01:12:55.602-04:00kelli is an excellent ally - gotta love when commu...kelli is an excellent ally - gotta love when community is born . . a beautiful thing to witness <br /><br />Thomas you will be so delighted with the success of your fall and winter gardens - my summer beds are always iffy due to pests and heat but my fall and spring gardens are always produce abundantly. For years now I have food until December and am picking something in March, in Canada that is not the norm.

It is usually done once a year (in time for Spring), but I heard a rumor they were doing one this Fall as well, but their web page is not reflecting this. <br /><br />Anyway, pay a yearly fee to support organic gardening, receive some good literature, and take place in the bulk order. Things like seed potatoes, row covers, plastic mulch, soil amendments, organic fert.'s and bug killers etc...all at a decent discount, and no shipping fee! If interested google NOFA MA Bulk Order to see last year's catalog.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-48814269186182466912009-08-27T22:09:10.205-04:002009-08-27T22:09:10.205-04:00Oh, you are welcome!
