Mother Nature wasn't laughing at me today, at least not out loud! I cut broccoli side shoots, picked some dandelions to give to the hens (they...
We went to early primary voting today. Two and a half long pages of candidates and propositions. The propositions were heavily weighted to...
We still have rain, and it's cold out there! I compensated by having a hot cup of coffee after seeing to the hens, then baking ginger snap...
And this is so true: [IMG]
Well, we are having rain today and it's chilly. My clean patio doors are now speckled with raindrops, and everything outside is wet (except the...
It's overcast with temps in the 60's, so I decided it was the ideal day to wash windows. Wrong! I got the patio doors cleaned and it started to...
Well, supposedly today was to finish preparing the potato patch, do more pruning, and rake over the annual flower bed--not. Today has such high...
Mart, I agree. When I started planting potatoes I was very traditional, hilling my little heart out. Now I plant in a 6" deep trench and cover the...
Cayuga, you are going to have a spectacular spring--and I hope you share more photos with us. I was pruning today, and saw that the gum bumelia...
Just an unscientific opinion, but "when in doubt, don't". The warning tag may just be an over reaction to possible liability, but personally I'd...
We have a butterfly waterer in the garden--shallow and small. We thought it was for butterflies, but it seems cats take over anything they want....
Happy Valentine's Day to you all! It is c-c-c-c-cold today. We had the heat lamps on the hens last night and I'm considering going to the coop...
As of now, complaints about pensions, water meters, and health care. The UK must be in as bad shape as the USA.
Welcome! We are in central Texas with vegetable and flower gardens. There is so much to learn here, share ideas and experience, and even recipes!...
We've had a fox only once, as far as we know. My husband did get a photo of it, but our picture is nowhere near as good as yours.
Mart made a good point. Grocery potatoes are often treated with a "retardant" to keep them from sprouting and having a longer shelf life. Seed...
Sorry, I just couldn't resist--- [IMG]
It is an overcast, chilly dqy, so we are having comfort food tonight. Garlic baked chicken, broccoli, and a chopped tomato and onion salad. I'm...
Wow Dooley, your temperatures and snow make me ashamed of complaining about our temps--high 40's, low 50's. We went into "town", the nearby small...
Well of course it needs cleaning. All those men have been tromping around on the moon, leaving behind who knows what!
