1st Planting of 2008!

I kicked of my 1st official planting of 2008–onion sets. 60 sets (40 yellow and 20 red) went into the ground this week. When I checked the pricing, it seemed to be pretty close to what they were last year. At Giant Markets, they were $1.29 lb in yellow and white varieties. Alot of store seem to be at $1.35 per lb. Finally found the red ones I was looking for at Mr Z’s–they sell them by the bag–I got 80 for $1.19. Read more…

Adopting a Reach of the Lackawanna River
Starting this Spring, I am seriously considering adopting my own section of the 
Lackawanna River…Some spots close to my home which could use some care are along the Lackawanna River from Parker Street Bridge down to the Sanderson Avenue bridge. This section of the Lackawanna River is located in the Plot section of Green Ridge in Scranton. Some of my ideas include transplanting some young Japanese Red Maple trees or the purple lilacs I have growing in my yard. I also have Rose of Sharon and other perennials which would really brighten up the riverbanks. Another idea I would like to try is to scatter a planting of native wild flower seeds, and see what happens. There are so many lovely areas along this section to just relax, enjoy and use the River. This is the reach of the Lackawanna River I use for trout fishing…
