Cayuga, tell that handsome son of yours that there are "clip on" ties. There's no shame in being unable to knot a tie (or shoelaces for that...
I dislike the fact that the younger generation is getting so dumb. I try to tell them how to do things, why they ought to do them my way, and they...
Vern, I don't think your method of planting in gravel will work. As the plants grow, so do their root systems, and gravel isn't a natural medium...
Another hot day here! We went out early while it was still relatively cool and checked the apple trees and cut some grapes. It is really early for...
Netty I sympathize with your hose dragging--I just got in from watering the tomato/pepper patch and I'm drenched, but not with bucket water!...
Great caption, Raddang! Like Frank, we are all looking forward to your photo post for the next caption contest!
Dooley, we really missed you! It's very admirable that you were able to do some "clicking here and there and re-doing this and that I have it...
Cayuga, Buddy is a large cat with huge paws (my husband suspects Buddy's mama had an affair with the local bobcat). The table is about 16" in...

Love your caption, Raddang!
After a month or two of using the garden table, we put cup holder hooks under the overhang along the side. Now I have a trowel, a claw weeder, a...
Jerry, those are wonderful suggestions, but our cats are particularly fond of baskets of any kind. They hop in and lay on top of zucchini, make a...
Before the heat hit, I harvested herbs to freeze and dry, watered the tomatoes and peppers, and tried to convince the cats that sitting down in...
I have a shelf in the barn for mixing soils, cleaning pots, etc. My husband built a garden table that I use almost daily for putting produce on,...
2ofus, don't worry about your hummingbirds. Our cats lay on the porch, look at the hummingbirds coming in to our two feeders, and think that it's...
Each year we have an ongoing battle with barn swallows, who want to build a nest right over our front door, and in the cross bars of the carport....
Our vet said some cats are hunters, and others aren't. We have three "ferals" that flop all over the porch, demand petting, and like to "help" in...
Kildale, a belated Happy Birthday! I guess I was too busy reading the Derelia newsletter and missed your big day. My apologies, and thank you for...
