  • You'll need: mason jar or baby food jar with sealable lid, kitchen sponge, hammer and nail, heavy-duty string, sponge, sugar, scissors, saucepan and flower stickers or decorative tape (optional). 2
  • 1. Prepare "butterfly food" by mixing nine parts water with one part sugar. If you are using a mason jar for your feeder, use tablespoons, and if you are using a baby food jar, use teaspoons.
  • 2. Using a nail and hammer, punch a small hole in the center of the lid. A piece of a sponge will need to fit snuggly in the hole, so keep it small – you can always make it bigger if necessary.

    Hi Barbara, I have listed full instructions for harvesting in the original post http://gardentherapy.ca/harvest-rhubarb/ ...»
    but the summary is this: Let a new plant grow for two years before harvesting any stocks and only take 1/3 of the plant on year three.

  • Reach for the sky peas! That trellis is sturdy enough to hold you all.
  • Start by placing a row of bamboo stakes solidly in the ground. Weave another length of bamboo back and forth between the stakes. Repeat with another stake but alternating the weave.
  • Keep going until you have a complete and very sturdy trellis.
