That is a great shed! I showed your post to my husband, who just groaned. He threatened to send me to the shed, rather than get a shed for our garden!
Cheryl, why deny yourself the pleasure of wandering through perennials, vegetables from Asia, and native flowers? Go for the seed catalogs, order...
Considering the age of your fig trees (3 years or older) and the fact that they are well-established by now, I think they will survive the winter...
Toni, why am I not surprised your grandson has artistic talent? Could it be in the genes? That is a very special artwork, and I know you'll...
I was afraid the seed companies no longer loved me, but I got Shumway's, Henry Field's, and Jung's today in the mail. Whoopee!
Texas is not kind to roses, but the own-root and antique roses do better. Since they are not grafted, they don't revert to the root stock rose...
I'm so glad you found a wooden handled picker--watch out persimmons, next year! By the way, your English is fine. Mine lapses quite often, and...
You sure know how to title a post to get a person's attention. I could see trees growing in 25 gal. containers, and you lugging them about! So,...
Texas no longer has bragging rights on beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Thanks for sharing those with us!
Cheryl, those stollen taste even BETTER than they look, and they look darned good! Dooley was kind enough to share her recipe with me, and there...
Margie, I'm sure you wouldn't be required to speak to groups if you didn't want to. I did not take the MG course, but we taught a section on...
Cheryl, your poor puppy! Two baths in two days--that's almost dog abuse. I'm glad you found a better solution for de-skunking than tomato juice....
Dooley, I haven't gotten my Gurneys' yet. They must like you better than they like me! I know what you mean about the expensive seeds in some...
Oh, I wish we had those on our little pond! Thank you for the super photo, Kildale. We have a pair of Mergansers and the occasional Gadwall right...
Margie, talk to some of the Master Gardeners who have been members of the group you are thinking of joining. See what they are giving and getting...
You tell the male from the female by the berries, which means you have to buy semi-mature plants. The holly in the arrangement probably won't...
Hank, that's it--just the two ingredients. I keep a bit in the fridge for using and a lot in the freezer for later. We've made a big dent in our...
The answer to your fig question depends greatly on where you are. Here in Texas we let our fig trees alone in winter, and do some early spring...
And the same wish to y'all from Texas! May your holidays be bright, and your gardens fruitful in the coming year.
Dooley, Beautiful stollens! I bet they taste even better than they look. I love the green/red decorations.
