I stuck some tomato cuttings in my bog one year on a lark - I had just finished pruning some of my plants and thought "what the heck". Everyone told me it would never work - "too much water, they'll drown" they said. Well, not only did they not drown, they FLOURISHED. They grew huge and vine-y and produced so many delicious tomatoes! It was a successful experiment!How to tomatoes do in a bog?
i seen a guy on youyube just put a waterhose (washing them)in the bags of peebles before using themOne more thing: How to wash the sediment from 2000 pounds of pea gravel before putting it in the bog.
Pile it up, hose it off, and hope for the best.
As you can see in the pics above, you can't get it all. But mabe it will settle out one day. I just hope the fish aren't damaged by breathing all that dust.
Oooo! I didn't know hummingbird moths began as hornworms. Hornworms are a gorgeous color, but other than that -- Ewwwwww! So giant and gross.The fun part about tomatoes in the bog is that they attracted lots of hummingbird moths. And the hummingbird moths attracted frogs. We enjoyed watching the frogs hunt the moths. Like The Wild Kingdom right in the backyard! (Sorry - they are grown up tomato hornworms. I enjoyed seeing them get eaten! haha!!
That's adorable! My mother in law was convinced she had been visited by a dead relative in the form of a hummingbird after dark. It kept bumping into the window as it was flitting around her window box full of flowers. I didn't burst her bubble either!They really are! I had an elderly neighbor who was convinced she had a whole flock of baby hummingbirds in her yard. I started to enlighten her and then saw how enchanted she was at the idea of baby hummingbirds, so I just shut my mouth!
