My driveway runs in a NW direction from my house.   It is the dividing line between zones 6a and 6b.   It is more shaded than not, but it does pick up some direct sun.. especially toward evening.  To guess,  probably 4  hours in the summer.  The soil is generally clay, though there is some loamy top soil. Lilac bushed grew well in this area.

I am looking for suggestions for berry  bushes to plant along the driveway.

Hi Farhan,

Welcome to Permies!

In canning season, dishes get washed multiple times a day.  

During “normal times”, they are washed daily on the average.  I say average, because there have been times when we were both too tired to take on another task.  In those cases I washed them immediately the next morning . I am the morning person.

Hi Toni,

Welcome to Permies.

I am heading off in several different directions.  

First I want to plant more perennials…rhubarb, horseradish,, etc.  

Secondly, I have a driveway with lilac bushes dying off.  I want to replace them with berry bushes.

I have acre field I want to partially plant with corn and sunflowers.  I am aware this will probably just feed the deer.

In my raised beds I will probably go heavily on root crops.  I will have 4 beds of Roma tomatoes.

I plan to put a potted salad garden on my back deck.

Depends upon how much mold.  Usually I just remove the mold. In severe cases it goes to the compost.  In the rare case of making kraut, I remove the mold.

Hi Rowan,

Welcome to Permies.

We have a designated dish in our refrigerator for boiled eggs.

Thank you.  My wife and I have been together over 50 years.  Your post helped us realize that we are together because no one else could stand to be around us.  By the way, although I am a bourbon snob, on occasion I will down a Pina Colada.
