I think yellow and whitish varieties grow well in other places. It's too hot for many of those to make it through a summer here. I've lost a few pink Hibiscus plants in the heat of summer, but the red ones grow amazing here and bloom most of the year.

**** YES! I'd be on the OTHER side of the rain shadow. It will be the cornbelt up in this bitch, but you will have to take the Rockies down.

We've sold our house and our dog over the winter was peeing on the lawn. I bought some grass patch stuff at Lowe's but it grows weak, thin grass. Plus the seed grows grass that's a lighter green than our lawn, we have a thick sod that's a darker green. I'm thinking of going to Grass Pad and asking for the right seed (not sure what I would ask for, any ideas?) and some topsoil and patch the yellow spots myself.
thoughts? |

new to the thread...
so i have a really slow work in progress regarding covered gardening. i've had to do most everything by myself, with some assistance when i can't. i have laid out an area of about 25 feet squared with corner posts and lattice. the garden is overgrown at the moment from all the rain we have had, and really i do not expect anything to come from it from here till next spring.
my most recent add on is trying to build a pvc green house roof over one section of the garden. when i get the clear tarps attached to the pvc, it will be put into place, then lined on the sides with green house panels i saved from the shit greenhouse frame i bought six years ago. so here are two pics that give you an idea of what i am doing first is roof sitting on the ground, the next is where it will sit and be fortified once tarps are attached. any idea's or advice is welcomed. (ignore the smashed shed roof, it's a sore spot for me 8 months after a neighbors tree fell on it ![]()

the 'green house' roof will be a clear reinforced tarp.
how dare you say 'fall', it's autumn here ![]() about to get our first frost soon and all the ivy's are turning red (beautiful colors i might add) we have a great view of town when the leaves turn.

You know how all the old timey songs talk about the wind swept plains? Yeah. That's my farm. |

We had our first hibiscus bloom this week after setting them back out. We now have fresh radishes and Lettuce. Garden is doing great. Trees have been loving the rain. |

Once we get deep into May, it will come crashing down with the heat. Here was today's haul alone. First time growing green beans. Called Kentucky Wonder. I provided a 4' tomato cage for them to climb and they got to the top in about a month. I realize they need about 7-8' of growing height and was hoping they'd grab the concrete wall behind where they grow, but they aren't doing that. Next year I'll place a 7' trellis behind the tomato cage to extend their growth. Either way, they are fantastically long beans! ![]()
