Gardening Information


Here's a ton of gardening information - some of it really useful, some of it really interesting, some of it kinda weird, some of it ...    well, I'll let you be the judge of what it really is.

This page is for the gardening "stuff" that doesn't fit anywhere else - that's just plain interesting or wacky.    But darn - it's fun stuff! :-)

For example, how about an "Alien" (as in the movie) made out of vegetables?  Now that's weird.  Mind you, it does look rather like something that I saw growing in the backyard the other day.
