[IMG] [IMG] Not a bad scene to look out at.
Freezing seed sends it into deep hibernation. Even seeds which need a period of cold do not need to be frozen, only chilled. The best place for...
Shoo fly plant, Nicandra physalodes is what it reminds me of. Only a weed if you do not want it growing where it is.
Fourth book is now in process. It should appear on Amazon before long. It is called Tales from Feggy Wood. Still gives me a thrill to see my...
Good humour and politeness win every time. Though I will say that when we moved here it was a bit of a culture shock. We moved from a part of the...
Did find an American site where the writer has cooked and eaten them Apparently they need baking slowly for 12 hours or more. This turns the...

We have this and I cut it down to the ground (well about a foot up) in February. This gives us leaves the size of elephant's ears at the expense...
Why the rocks are in the garden is something of a mystery, but why they are in the area is simple. This was once the bottom of a glacial lake and...
At least I didn't make a mountain out of it.
There are places in the same path where there are definite runs. (You sink when you tread there.) I dread to dig in case there are more rocks like...
