Willow, we have been fortunate enough to never have had an invasion of horn worms, but when I'm working with the tomatoes, I carry a small plastic...
Willow, a "lottie" is a term for an allotment (allottiement). In many places people who don't have the space to garden get an allotment in a...
S-H, I don't know about that "picture of the month" thing. With those photos you may be winning three months in a row!

Netty, I can't imagine you being cranky! Getting outside will help, and of course Sargeant is available to console you. With three cats, we are so...
It's overcast, chilly, and very windy, so I'm hunkering down in the kitchen and doing some recreational baking. We gave all the cats a good...
