looks great......! we do a bit of that here.

I see quite a few pine cones in what looks like a bed of pineapples? Is this cat control?

I started using pinecones as cat control without any inclination if it works or not. I assumed that if they are prickly to me, they'd be the same for cats.

Is that what you've used them for? Works I guess?

:)

wallisadi, best part is that pine log in the background. It is under the tree canopy and just the right height for a bench.

cora, that is my new pine cone storage area. If I let them lay there for a year or so, I can shuck them like an ear of corn. Nice cheap and attractive mulch.

I'm inspired I've been thinking about putting a raised bed on the the abandoned property next to mine. ;>)

All I did was clear a fire break to protect my property. I don't know how the pineapples, papaya, sweet potatoes and pole beans got over there. Must be volunteers that escaped from my property ;-)

Sumala,

Did the pole bean arbor fence escape too? Dang things, you have to watch them every second or they will wander off like little children.

MOO

Hmmm... don't know Lou. Might have to polish it up a bit but it might work.

"Them durned kids that play there all the time came into my yard, took all my stuff over there and, well, the beans just took over."

hey i'd like to have a chat privately about those amazing pineappples i saw you had planted, id like to find out a bit more about them!!

ta, unfortunately sumala is no longer with us, his wife gave the news a few years back.

Lovely! I have permission to plant anything anywhere in this apartment complex, so as soon as I get the part around my apartment planted, I'll be spreading out into other spaces. My only problem is marking off the plants so that the yard crew doesn't chop them down, but I'm sure I'll find a way.

OH! Just read your post, Silvia. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Dirtygardener, it is very sad to hear when one of us gardeners go, his wife was not a regular poster here but she was kind enough to let us know because she said that sumala enjoyed gardening and the forum. I saw him in few of his pictures and I remember the pineapples too.
