I feel like getting down and dirty

It’s already Cicno de Mayo, and the stupid weather in New York is still on the cold side. Every year, by this time, I am done with my planting. This year, it is just not going above 55, and it will kill all my little plants if I planted them today. I think we are going to go straight into summer from a stupid winter.

I wana do some wracking, some soil mixing, some potting. I love this whole experience of planting something and then watching it grow. I also like getting dirty. I never use gloves when working my yard.

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

I love it too, home depot is my second home and I know all the staff in Home and Garden by name :D We are a bit further South than you and the temp is leveled at about 50-60 day and night.

This year I am in love with Columbine, have a special section for them. Right now the Lilacs are in bloom and you can smell them coming down the street. Lilly of the Valley in the back.

mmmmmm............

btw - no gloves??? How do you keep under the nails from becoming an ugly brown color for a couple of days????

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

pinstripe, you got 500 or so posts in a month. Averages out to be 18 posts a day. Don’t you have work or something. :konfused:

Ranjhan - I do wash my nails with a nailbrush and soap :snooty: I was asking about the stain

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

Madhanee, first you need to talk about seeds. What's plantation without seeds? Where do you get your seeds from? Imported or local market?

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

You all need to live in affluent neighborhoods and get a gardner. :snooty: Madhanee I will lend you my mexican for a few days. He can dig dirt up from anywhere. He is attracted to dirt.

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

I worked when I was 25. Now I have 25yr olds who work.

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

I miss the smell of dirt in the spring time. All I have here is concrete with dog pee.

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

Go to central park lazy.

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

UTD - dirt on the winos doesn't count

Re: I feel like getting down and dirty

Lol..i live two blocks from Central Park and take my kids there often, but it’s not the same thing. My parents also garden. I grew up in Canada with a big back yard and many fruit trees, vegetable gardens in the Niagara area known as the ‘Garden City’. There’s a huge difference between that and NYC.
