My mother died and her memorial service is Saturday. We have to drive 6 hours downstate to attend. She was 87 years old. So if you don't see me here for a few days that's the reason.

Congrats on getting yer daughter married off Wendy.
Gardentoad, Drive Safely. Sorry for your loss. I've just arrived home from the 4th family funeral in a year. The others were elderly (My Dad, Uncle, Stepmom, Brother's MIL) but today was a SIL that was younger than me.

Sorry for your loss also Blue. The only bright spot in this is getting to see my daughter and grandson who flew in from Montana. We don't get to see them that often.

Having severe food allergy problems. I don't know what to eat anymore. Tonight I had the dinner of champions, pizza rolls and tater tots with ranch and barbecue sauce. Trouble was, when I was done and had some ice cream I then had to take a benadryl because it hurt tremenously to swallow. Still hurts but it's better, just can't go to sleep like this. Pray that I can find an allergy doctor who can figure out what in the world is wrong. I've had strong reactions to eggplant and watermelon already this year. I just can't pin down some of the others, where they are coming from. This happened once before, when I was 14. I found out I was severely allergic to nuts, roaches, mold, and some trees, as well as grass. Well, some of those allergies seem less of a problem now (don't know about the roaches lol). I took allergy shots through most of high school.

Not much goes on here. We live pretty quietly. I work, he works, then I come home and work some more. I apparently enjoy it cause I keep doing it. The garden is growing, there are too many chickens crowing, I need to seriously declutter, and I can't wait until income taxes come in so I am not so poor--for a little bit anyway However, I refuse to be sad or unhappy. I had a sad childhood and first marriage, been with Phil almost 15 years now! and it's all good.

Hi. I'm ready to clear out my garden area. But it's invaded by bermuda grass. Any ideas on the best way to remove it?

i think a lot of our members use solarization deborah? either black plastic over the area you wish to plant? for a few months.....no light...weeds die. some till....a few times as the grass/weeds grow. i prefer a ton of mulch.preferebly leaves...grins..... that will keep the light out and improve the soil over time.

okay. Thanks. I have black liner down on my walkways in the garden, and I have a ton of eucalyptus mulch I could lay down but I'm worried that might prevent growth altogether? Should I just lay liner down over the whole thing and forget the mulch?
I've thought about burning the grass too.

lot of ways to go there d.... are you needing to plant it this year? i forgot to mention you could possibly grow a cover crop? and then till in before planting in spring?just don't let crop go to seed.lol been there done that. i myself prefer mulch.but if you need the real estate this season coming up? the plastic might get ya there.

Should I just lay liner down over the whole thing and forget the mulch? I've thought about burning the grass too. Debora i'd smother the grass just to keep the organic content.thin the mulch.maybe you could do a modified ruth stout technique with your mulch? I don't use liner perr say.if I gotta go that route in the walkways I use thicker coarser mulch twigs and leaves.hope this helps.
