Sjoerd, I echo the other "bravos!" that you have received from members--you are the king of winterizing! We fertilize our gardens directly with...
Dooley, we miss you, too! It was 55 when I got up at 7 a.m., and that was pretty much where it stayed all day. The wind was howling with gusts up...
I went to the hair salon today and was conversing with several of the ladies. It was soon evident that I (Illinois, Ohio, New York) used words...
Good heavens Odif, you found an orchard in that mess! Now you are finding a vegetable garden under the brambles. Seek and ye shall find, but only...
Kay, when in town we had a variegated bougainvillea in a large pot. We'd bring it in to the parlor for the winter in front of a south facing...
Cayuga, not only basil can be rooted in water, but also oregano. I have a large pot of Greek oregano that I'm not sure will make it through the...
Our Tuesday is off to a very good start! I picked bell peppers with the help of four cats (oh, a basket to jump into, what fun!), and then mixed...
Aha! Sjoerd and Carolyn, you need cats--several cats. I happen to know where you can get some. Not our used-to-be-feral cats, but our neighbors...
My name is Joy. I'm a bundle of joy.
How does one "get hold of an orchard?" Was it a gift, are you leasing it? What fruits are hiding in the underbrush? Whichever, you'll have it...
We didn't plant these--the vine appeared in our big compost pile and things happen o_O. Note to self--next year, do not put pumpkin seeds in...
Another warm, humid day--temps in the mid 80's for this afternoon. I picked more peppers and a bunch of arugula. Now to house clean and do some...
As always, a great caption Jerry!
So happy to hear that our members in the path of the hurricane have all survived, and with fairly minor damage. Any damage is bad, but it could...
That looks like a Concord grape to me--one in serious need of pruning, but a grape nevertheless. Take Toni's advice and put a clipping of vine,...
Take care and stay safe! You may want to stock up on foods that can be eaten cold or at room temperature if the power goes out, fill a few...
You do have an eye for color and texture. Making such a lovely spot in the shade isn't easy, but you certainly succeeded!
Here in central Texas, Sept. and Oct. have been very dry, with less than 1" of rain over six weeks. Most of our friends and neighbors given up on...
Kay, one of my husband's friends was complaining about how demanding his wife is. My husband replied, "Well, try being married to a gardener!" I...
Cleaning house today and doing my watering a bit late. It was so foggy when we got up that I wasn't sure I could find the rain barrels, much less...
