Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I agree, any of the aliums would be good at masking the smell of the carrots, and also some of the herbs - best stick with the anual ones rather than rosemary or sage as they are easier to grow although sage is easy from seed, both are slower from seed than anuals..

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 in my town everything is dying, because it has not rained here for three months, maybe longer. the sun is everlasting and scorching and I have to water everything every single day. we are doing an indian rain dance because all of the creeks are dried up and animals have no water. it is in the 80's, and gets cooler at nights. , peter hurd <swpgh01 wrote: > > Hate to think of the blossoms dropping off after a frost.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Wow, that is so sad - still cold and wet here. My town is dying through lack of investment, like a lot of South Wales towns. Our last big shop ( small supermarket ) is closing soon, nearly a third of our shops are empty/closed down, very sad when I think back to how it was when I was young..........
