Just in time for spring. I interviewed Steve Biggs and his daughter for my FB Group Ontario Backyard Plant Growers some time ago. And here is is podcast talking about hoop garden frost protection. Talk about timely.

Less frost damage. Fewer bugs. Better growing conditions. Mini tunnels have lots of advantages, and they're easy to make and use. Vegetable gardening expert Niki Jabbour explains how to make and use mini tunnels.

There have been some posts in the Facebook Group from members who have had problems with various critters munching down on their veggies, flowers or trees. So when I came across a draw being run by an outfit called Plantskydd that was promoting a repellent, I was interested. Their product, made in part from dried bovine and porcine blood, was said to be very effective, and long lasting in dry weather.

I contacted these folks about running a draw for them in my group and they were happy to cooperate. Their prize package included the items in the picture below. A litre bottle with spray attachment of the repellent, a tote bag, a bee friendly seed pack and a sticky note pad. I can't speak to the efficiency of their products, but they are putting up three prize packs. The draw will run until 8:00 pm, Wednesday May 26th.

Here are the rules.
The winners will be randomly selected from group members of the private group Ontario Backyard Plant Growers who like the picture.
Only one entry per person.
You will be contacted if you are one of the three winners and you will be required to provide your email address and a shipping address the prize package can be delivered to.

That's it. No pictures, questions or videos required. Good luck.

I have been intrigued with the idea of growing moss on stones or boulders that I want to have moss on them, especially around our garden pond or waterfall. Of course, also on any hypertufa troughs I make when I finally get around to making some. I have read advice on how to accomplish this in a couple of places, but here is a simple article that lays out all the steps in no more detail than is required.

The website is irritating for the volume of ads, but the info is interesting and worth checking out.

Do you want your hypertufa to look ancient? Really fast? Here's a recipe on How to Grow Moss on your hypertufa pots easily. Moss growing on the sides of pot
