Sorry for your sickness, Hummer. As if a hurricane wasn't bad enough.
23 loaves of bread AND other work besides? Your energy amazes me. Hummer, sometimes hand pollination is the only recourse.
Carolyn, thank you. I think it's because gardening is my peaceful place. Sjoerd, you work hard and the results show.
Cayuga, thank you so much for the info on hard-neck garlic. I'll be checking mine shortly. We have a perennial flower bed that was lovely the...
Cayuga, a lovely batch of potatoes, and yes, rub excess soil from them, allow them to dry away from light. That's so the skin doesn't turn green...
I can do just that, Carolyn. I rather doubt they have any. I called Farm & Home store and they only sell garlic in Spring. I;m sorry about your...
Carolyn, your picture of the future Swallowtail butterfly reminds me to check on mine. Each day I see it growing bigger and bigger. I just hope...

Cayuga, I hope to set out 3 rows this week and possibly another 3 in mid October. I'm using some from last year's planting and maybe I can find a...
Sounds good, Carolyn and I too had wondered what happened to our own Sjoerd. I did nothing in the garden today. Rained al day, sometimes very...
Jewell, thanks for the pointers. We live in a trailer park and are limited in sheltered space. Our main gardening site is the creek bank....
Carolyn, we treasure each tomato that ripens. he small ones either go into a glass of juice or atop salads. Each large one is set aside for...
I once grew watermelons from seed of a store-bought melon. They did just great as the groundhogs and muskrats could testify. We managed to get...
Today I took out the Yellow squash plants because the Powdery mildew was becoming a problem, and we certainly have plenty. Every neighbor who...
Spot on Marlin. Fortunately you live on higher ground. I'm encouraged by the goodness of all Texans who are right there for their fellowman /...
Indeed Carolyn, beans seem to be the dependable crop this year. Blue Lake beans keep on giving for us. The early 4 rows, two from seeds, two from...
Houston certainly had more than their share and now Florida and surrounding states.
