Sojerd, I love that! I may print it out and frame it for the kitchen! I went into town today to do grocery shopping (and get rid of excess...
Sjoerd, good luck in three days--I bet you have a great result. Just a question--when bees move to a new hive, do they have a "house swarming" party?
Oh Tooty, I do enjoy your sense of humor! Thank you and congratulations.
GP. shallots are not onions per se. They are milder than onions, and sweeter. They are also smaller and more "pointed" than the globe shaped...
Like Willow, I did nothing in the gardens today because of intermittent storms. We are grateful for the rain, but wish that here in Texas it would...
Wish we needed a new coffee table. I'd hunt this one down (pun intended) and get it! [IMG]
Thank you, Hank for the like! I am a big fan of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, a brilliant man with the "common touch" who can explain complicated concepts...
During this time when we are all having to adapt to change, this is heartening. We can and will do it because we are smart! [IMG]
My stars, your gardens are spectacular! I can't believe you take care of all of those all by yourself. Thank you for sharing your gardens, and for...

In honor of the 4th of July, we are having fettucine Alfredo, foccacia bread, and a green salad. We are very independent of traditional 4th fare!
Almost everyone knows about WD-40, which loosens frozen moving parts and helps eliminate rust. I use it frequently but never knew where it got its...
Wow, and you didn't even mention that today is your birthday on your monthly nature blog! So, Happy Birthday to you, you modest man.
Jerry, I really understand what you are saying. I've been in several organizations where "dithering" was the primary function. I found that a firm...
Toni, I agree--horses and Texans sweat, and ladies of a certain young age "glow". I haven't "glowed" for years! I didn't do much in the garden...
[IMG] I'd bet that describes most Stew members!
KK, if you are worried about mosquitoes, just put a couple of drops of vegetable oil on top of the cutting's water. The oil prevents eggs...
I picked zucchini and crookneck squash, cucumbers, and some Roma tomatoes. I'll pack up the squash and cucumbers for the food pantry, but I'm...
Oh Mart, I'm sorry you don't have your garden any longer. Buying vegetables is probably cheaper, or as cheap, as growing them, but growing is such...
