Thanks Pac for the info. I read your link. We can only do what we can do. I can't make my neighbors cut down their Leyland Cypress and Firs, or...
That's a shame about the sapling. I'm glad to be happy with the trees and shrubs that I have now. Most are tall enough now, and I don't want...
Nope! I did once nearly slide off a cliff while hiking in the "badlands" of Cappadocia in central Turkey. I was in the Army, young, and...
Not looking forward to that. As a former Boy Scout and as a former soldier (both in the age of the mastodons and saber tooth tigers), being...
Not much today. I prepared furniture for the mover, emptied a dresser and book case. The books go to the library sale but the food bank wants...
Kay, nice project! Those gnomes will pay you back and chase evil goblins away from your garden. They appreciate such kind attention. Don't be...

It's all very beautiful, Pac. I don't know why my irises do so poorly. They are my favorite flower. It's like they are cursed. They grow well...
Just incredibly beautiful!
What do they smell like? Could they be lemon balm?
Probably Hyacinthoides, otherwise known as Scilla or Bluebell. Hyacinth is also a possibility. Most likely, it was moved there by gnomes as a...
Sjoerd your tomato growing is worthy of a documentary. The plants are so lush and vigorous. The marigolds, too. At the same time, they are...
Glad you are coping with humor @marlingardener! What a situation. Today I spoke with an electrician about getting an emergency generator. We...
How did you know about my family?
Today I pruned and repotted the rest of the Schlumbergeras. I took off about two years of growth, and cut off the outer inch and bottom inch of...
I was living in the midwest at the time. What I would have done, to witness that powerful event in person! From a safe distance, of course. The...
