@Melody Mc. on your possum question, we have lots of possums! They are NOT cute to look at. I think they are a good part of the ecosystem, eating...
Sjoerd, if you can grow apricots, that's pretty nice. Here, the tree survives until a frost happens at bloom time. Then the whole tree dies....
@Sjoerd, thanks for the comments. I think that was probably a garter snake. I see them from time to time. Better that, than a python... They...
Mel, they just look big in the photo. Not as big as grocery grapes. This variety is Buffalo. It's similar to Concord, but better fir a shorter...
Today I had an appointment for the new vaccine, so determined to get some rest ahead of that. Even so, I did can a batch of peaches. I have a...
Picked a bunch of green bush beans. These were planted mid July, after digging the garlic from that raised bed. [ATTACH] This was under the...
Not much in the garden today. I went to the medical center and got the "extra strong" flu shot for seniors. Then took more boxes of Asian Pears...
Seeds came. I had ordered a mini-clover that grows four inches tall, and spreads quickly by stolons. That's for the former flower bed in front...
That sounds like a fun day. Glad you rescued the lupin.
I puttered for a while. I picked about ten pound of Roma tomatoes. It seems the end is near, for that crop. I blanched them, cut into chunks,...
We have a pergola, built from upcycled 4x4's and 2x4s. If you can find them, it helps a lot with the cost. Ours has grape vines. There's...
Chatting with the neighbor lady about her problem with moles among the strawberries, is an excellent way to get work done without actually doing...
That sounds like some handy technology. Around here, we hang laundry outside. If it's flapping around, we know it's windy. If ot's dripping,...
Thanks @Sjoerd for the reference about gnomes. It looks interesting. Around here, they understandably avoid most human contact. They have seen...
They look like arum pistils after the spathes have fallen off. That's because gnomes design their hats like that as a disguise, in case they fall...
Those are the tips of gnome hats. Last night the gnomes had a big party. On the way home, they tripped in the bindweed and fell. They shouldn't...
It's great you have a sense of humor about it Mel! It sounds like a crazy day. This Spring I tried to pull my Prius ahead of the 23 year old...
Crab Grass, Thistles, and Himalayan Blackberry. I also spend quite a bit of time pulling out Anagallus arvensis. Very fast growing and can take...
ick.
If they are planted along the path, shouldn't they be named "Pathflowers". Kidding aside, I know they will be beautiful.
