It's a little sad and sentimental that you will give up your garden after this year. Of course, as an octogenarian, you have earned your rest.orin stepanek wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 1:01 am Wow; just about time to pull up my harvest! this of course will be the last year! Just too much much work for an 80 year old! Of course I will leave any volunteers that may sproute! Wasn't much of a crop this year!
Please keep growing a few flowers, OK? 
And post a few more pictures of your flowers, and do keep making posts here at Starship Asterisk*!Ann wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 5:07 amIt's a little sad and sentimental that you will give up your garden after this year.

Orin, how lovely! I suspect you posted those beautiful flowers just for me, didn't you?

You know Ann, It's a little early to be thinking about Spring; but, I have been thinking about planting Morning Glories around My whole garden area! Just for fun! I hope my seeds are good!

Whether or not you plant them (and I hope you do, of course) you made me happy by showing me a picture of them! I tried to grow Morning Glory a couple of years ago, but this plant did not grow very well. True, then I used synthetic fertilizers. But I am a person who is interested in gardening, looking for options and would like to share my experience with others. Summer 2020 I have luxurious azaleas and hydrangeas. I think organic fertilizers, which I make myself on my site, also helped a lot. No, this is not what anyone would think. I just bought myself a composting device. I use the Goplus Compost Tumbler, but in my review I picked up a few options that gardeners might find useful.Ann wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 4:57 amOrin, how lovely!

Well, if you want to get a harvest, you need to make an effort. If you do not have the time and desire to do this, then there is even no point in starting to do it.orin stepanek wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 10:21 pm No garden this year; too much work for me!
