I counted and we have 23 roses spread around the gardens. Here is one of my favorites, Bibi Mazoon. She's an Austin rose which fell out of favor...
Soapwort? Toni, I love your sense of humor! Those are great finds. You have a rare ability to find the best "junque" and make treasures of it!
Toni, could that first one be delphinium? We have them popping up all over from starts a friend gave me, and that the birds so kindly planted in...
Sjoerd, in the fall I think I'll try your method of pre-germinating plugs of spinach. Both plantings of my spinach got washed out this spring, but...
Cappy, that's a great fire pit! I can see why you enjoy it so much! It must be a feminine thing--I like to poke and stir and tend a fire and my...
Congratulations, Kitty! I bet you come up with a great photo for the next contest (something with a cat, perhaps?).
Happy Birthday, Toni! I will join Droopy in a heartfelt but silent rendition of "For She's a Jolly Good Lady." Now you've received two of the best...
CJay, when we planted our asparagus, I made a 6" deep trench, placed the crowns and covered them with about 2" of dirt. When growth appeared, I...
EJ, so many of your flowers are ones we grew in upstate NY. I miss having them, but seeing your garden pictures is such a pleasure, and brings...
Droopy, your mother is fortunate to have you--you are not helpless, you are helping her more than you can know. I'll pray everything goes well for...
Oh my, what a wonderful and varied garden! I especially like your greenhouse, and is that a water barrel I see to the left of it?
Tooty, the activity seems very easy--no pre-registration, no cost--just count birds and submit your list and location to ebird. I've printed out...
Anything that involves sitting down I'm all for! I'll mark it on our calendar, and spend most of the day sitting on patio with my binoculars and...
You do take the best photos, Sherry! We have those birds at our feeders also, but they aren't as photogenic as yours.
I'll take a look at that website. I don't think we have anything planned for May 14 :) :setc_090: :) and a day of birding, with a picnic lunch,...
Welcome back! Many of us have undergone the same disappointments, more or less, so we can sympathize. We'll all make it through...
You can keep all of yours with a good conscience, Netty. We have plenty of our own sliders!
FBG, you are doing a good thing--not an easy thing, but a good thing in helping these folks learn about growing food. The "garden takes time...
Hummer, I only wish my tomato starts looked that good! They are being raised by 2ofus, obviously a tomato guru.
Happy Birthday!
