I think they will reseed themselves pretty liberally, the seeds are microscopic.<br /><br />I did get some poblanos, not lots and kinda small, but better than nuthin'. And the Black Krims were terrific.pdxlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08001648355321967291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744028668756109107.post-86304623209492383762011-09-21T23:03:34.510-07:002011-09-21T23:03:34.510-07:00It's been an amazing month of weather, staving...It's been an amazing month of weather, staving off depression for much of the greater portland area. Well, by a couple months, anyway.<br /><br />btw, I got one of those Nicotina plants at the plant exchange as well and was also blown away at how awesome those things are. They are on the 2012 list for sure.<br /><br />Any luck with that poblano? I haven't had the same luck with peppers that I'm having with the 'maters.<br /><br />cheers,<br />zWinona Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285739451492274804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744028668756109107.post-70249898375055328992011-05-29T09:56:10.473-07:002011-05-29T09:56:10.473-07:00Yeah, cedar is great and I forgot to mention mulch...Yeah, cedar is great and I forgot to mention mulching helps keeps weeds down and I found some claims that the strong scent of cedar helps deter some insects.pdxlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08001648355321967291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744028668756109107.post-13938551019830159802011-05-28T18:58:16.484-07:002011-05-28T18:58:16.484-07:00I am glad to learn that cedar shavings are ok to u...I am glad to learn that cedar shavings are ok to use as mulch.

I had a row of strawberries along the front of one of the vege beds and planted some flat leaf parley behind them. I've just cut back and pulled out the parley and under it I found some very healthy strawberries complete with fruit. BONUS. Your idea should definitely work brilliantly.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940119240313980400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744028668756109107.post-37954768254877924732010-09-11T11:45:41.211-07:002010-09-11T11:45:41.211-07:00Hey!!!!!
