I have no knowledge of houseplants, so I really need y'all to help me. We are remodeling our guest bathroom, and there is a small table with a...
More and more of our "disputes" are being settled with gunfire. My heart goes out to the families of those killed, and to the wounded, and even to...
Eileen, you confirmed our suspicions. We have seen another flycatcher with a bit of orange on his chest, perching with the bird in the first...
What an absolutely adorable little girl! It's so nice to see a child eating a tomato instead of sugared cereal or candy. Not only do you have a...
Welcome from Central Texas! Your new gardener is just what is needed--someone close to the ground and to the weeds!
Thank you all for the warm wishes and the e-cards! I did have a good birthday, nice and quiet, just the way I like it. Gosh, it's hard to believe...
For some reason, we've had more scissortails this summer than ever before. Even though they are the state bird of Oklahoma, these two are hanging...
Gee Toni, I didn't know you had any pets, much less ones that need scanning! Sorry about that awful joke/pun, but I couldn't resist. You know...
Netty you are suffering from "gardener's disease" which manifests itself in an uncontrollable urge to acquire plants and expand gardens. My...
Ronni, the bamboo stakes sound fine. Just sink them as deeply as you can, and perhaps even cross them to make an X rather than I I. You are a...
Well, having a rose between the two windows will make washing windows rather painful--thorns, you know. No matter how much you tie a rose to a...
That bird must be the envy of her neighbors--such a lovely landscape around her little home! Ronni, you not only have a green thumb and a great...
Ronni, "climbing" roses, like any other roses, don't have tendrils or suction growth to allow them to cling to something. They have to be tied. I...
Great idea! No pots to detract from the flowers' beauty, better drainage, and you get to pat yourself on the back for being brilliant (I'd give...
I'd suggest Bermuda. It spreads easily so you will have a maintenance problem with flower beds, but it's almost indestructible, stays green most...
I still don't know what this kitchen gadget is, but I showed a picture to my hens, and they got really, really agitated. The ladies think it may...
We still have tomatoes, but they aren't "prime". Most are cat-faced, cracked, or just not gorgeous (kinda like the gardener). However, they don't...
Oh, yes, please, Ronni! The more the better--we love them all.
Great start to the "bird a day"! We have a Great Blue that visits our pond most mornings. Lately he has been walking the pathway my husband keeps...
Smart deer to pick such a lovely spot to have lunch!
