Zigs, good luck on winning any prize the cactus show has. Everyone here on the Stew can attest to the lovely cacti you grow, and the beautiful blooms.
Melody, here we plant tomatoes closer together than advised, because the foliage keeps the roots cooler during our really hot weather. We don't...
Tetters, we share a love (passion, obsession) for roses. Here in Texas the own root roses do better. Hybrids are short lived, perhaps two seasons....
Welcome! Like Tetters, I had to look up Eldoret. You've found a very helpful gardening site, filled with nice people. You'll enjoy being here, and...
A very Happy Birthday to you!
Sjoerd, that is such a lovely idea! I bring extra starts, unused hand tools, and pots to the local community garden. There isn't a "take it if you...
This is a quote from Bill Engvall, a really funny man: In 1903 the Wright brothers invented the airplane. In 1902 they took a cross country road...
Just got in from the garden. Weeded out where the spinach was, picked lettuce, and checked tomatoes to see if they needed water. Husband is...
I was going to send a private message, then thought there are so many good cooks on this forum, that I'd beg a recipe from DanielW on an open...
Daniel, Early Sunglow does very well for us. Hope it does for you, as well! I tied up tomatoes and cucumbers, did a bit of weeding, petted Timi...
Yes, I did. After we picked dill, we went back to the asparagus patch and I showed her the difference between leaves, stems, and growth habit. I...
Sjoerd, Daniel, thank you both for your replies. Keeping occupied with purposeful activity--good advice and generally I can do it. Today I'll be...
Wish I could say this is a happy Wednesday, but in light of yesterday's slaughter at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, I haven't been able to...
AAnightowl, your post about trying dill with the asparagus reminded me of a "dill incident" a couple of years ago. A lady stopped by and asked if...
Droopy, I've only made dolmades with young grape leaves. I didn't know hosta leaves were edible. The things one learns here! Do you put dill and...
Happy Tuesday to you all! Just catching up on inside chores, and am putting off tying up tomatoes until Thursday. Rain, wind, and possibly hail is...
Nothing much going on Monday except house cleaning. Where does all the dust come from? Didn't have to water anything in the gardens today since...
If you all keep on about strawberries, I may be tempted to try a small patch next year. Odif, they look beautiful, and Netty, I'm happy you have...
Our summer weather arrived early, but the cats are coping. The tile on the table is cool from overnight, and Buddy takes advantage of it....
Melody, watering from the rain collection cubes isn't difficult, just time and muscle consuming! We fill buckets which we take to the plants,...
