jennybianca This all makes sense. The idea comes from tradition where couples did not live together first, and in fact, did not ever leave home prior to marriage. Hardly anyone that I know marries from home now. With my first wedding, I had a list written on raffle...

jennybianca I wouldn't mind so much if people used the cheaper stores such as target, or big W, but I haven't ssen that here. It is a good idea for the store to keep a registery of what gift has been bought and thus avoid duplicates. With my first wedding, I wrote a list...

jennybianca Yes, lots of my relatives and friends send out that typed letter with info about their clever kids, etc. Although most of us would send the Christmas card with the letter. I was amazed that people did this for baby gifts too.

jennybianca I do my BR's more quickly than 3 to 4 years, but I do think it is way to quick to give someone a bR within hours of starting a discussion.

Two days ago I planted my spring vegetables. I haven't planted veges or herbs for very many years, as I had focused on my native garden. I moved homes three months ago, and there was a little patch out the back suitable for veges...

jennybianca I really sympathise. I dont have any of the animals you mentioned, other than the possibilty that my cats and dogs may roll in my plants. That is why I put a small guard around every plant. My main pests will be of the insect variety.When I lived on Kangaroo...

jennybianca Spring has just started here so it is a good time to plant the summer crops. Your friends compost would have been very good for your garden. I am thinking of starting my own compost.

jennybianca I am not likely to get rabbits where I live. My most likely problem will be the insect pets, maybe birds too. I love marigolds, that could be a good move.

jennybianca Natural fertisiler is a great idea. So far I have only used organic, plus I throw the vegetable scraps in the soil.

jennybianca I know aphids can be a big problem here and at least I can identify them. Deer, my goodness,they must cause a real mess if they get in your garden. I don't have a greenhouse, and many back yard varieties are fine with out. Leeks and letuce are very useful,...

jennybianca Maybe you could ask your local nursery what plants are local to your area. That way you could buy types of plants that suit your local environment.

jennybianca To plant vegetables you can either buy the seeds and germinate them, or you can buy seedlings. I bought seedlings as it is easier.
