it wasn't hard to breathe at all.. the said the mine breathed for itself, thus clean air- no gases and no air had to be pumped in. i thought that was very interesting, despite being a half mile underground. i was hoping for bats, but didnt' see any. they are there though. thanks, ct. that was the exact effect i was trying to show. the ship was longer than the breakwater the lighthouses are on, if that is the correct term. the lighthouses weren't large but big enough. harry, the dapple percheron, is my fave. i couldnt quit petting him, or walk away. i kept going back. of course, i had to have a carriage ride.

The drive to the end has many cute residential gardens. I like to park at Sky Harbor airport and then take the path behind the airport between the beach and a pine grove. Threre are many native plants (including poison ivy, so beware).

Hello, welcome to Duluth! I live about twenty miles from Duluth. I usually plant tomatoes around the first week of June. It can and does freeze after May 15. I only plant varieties that reach maturity in less than 70 days. This year I was unable to start any plants from seed so I was forced to buy plants. I planted Mr. Stripey, Oregon Spring, and Sun Sugar. This is the best I could come up with after shopping at about eight or nine greenhouses and nurseries. I am beginning to believe all anyone here wants to sell or plant is Early Girl. Boring. One factor that you need to pay attention to is whether the plant sets fruit in cooler temperatures. The Mr. Stripey is just this week getting blossoms. The Oregon Spring is doing well with a lot of tomatoes. This is my first year trying Mr. Stripey, so I am assuming we needed warmer nights for it to fruit. Oregon Spring has done well for me in the past. Silvery Fir Tree, and Ropreco for a paste tomato do well. Many say Stupice is a good producer here. I plant my hot peppers in pots so I can move them around in the fall. Many vegetables that are planted directly as seed in the ground further south, must be planted as seedlings here to be productive, cucumbers and zucchini are two examples. You can even buy lettuce seedlings. The city of Duluth is in zone 4, but the further you are from Lake Superior the more likely you are in zone 3. I hope this helps. Welcome to Minnesota!

Most people I know would go to the effort to dig out and remove the landscape fabric, especially if it was plastic that was put down rather than the actual fabric. Not an easy job at all. There are going to be some stones at the very least anywhere in this area. I have been picking them out of my garden now since about 1981, and there are always more. Are you sure those dead beds did not get drift from lawn spraying? That is another possibility. It is strange that nearly everything went all at once. Usually the failures will be more specific. You didn't notice anything wrong late last summer or last fall, did you?
