Thanks to all the good ideas, I now have seedling trays! The thrift store supplied two of the hard plastic cafeteria type trays, and I found a...
Sorry Netty, no idea whatsoever. I just know it's garlic that we will be planting year after year!
Syd, forgive my ignorance, but the figurine just below the photo of the cream pitcher (?) and on the left--is she holding a churn dasher? I love...
We received garlic from a fellow Stewie (FBG), and we've never had such good garlic, and we've grown some pretty good garlic! The taste is the...
Toni, gardening is half dreaming and half sweating! It's chilly here--in the mid-30's and I'm not going to go out until it warms up! I did go out...
Funny you should both mention the "cleaning up" that birds do. Grackles are disparagingly called "Wal-Mart birds" because they can be found...
Hoping you can find them and photograph the elk! If not, it's enough that you saw them--50 elk is amazing.
What great suggestions! When I go into town on Thursday I'll hit the thrift store, and if that fails, I'll search out some boot trays. Thank you...
Grackles are called "trash birds" around here. They form big flocks, perch in trees and foul the sidewalk underneath, and have a raucous call....
Netty, instead of living for years with a color you don't like (and I agree with Toni, pink ain't my thing!) go ahead and paint now when it's so...
I have a bunch of seedlings that are ready to move under the grow lights. My problem is that I have only two trays, both holding germinating...
Frank, think of all the raised beds that could be filled with the dirt (and manure) that politicians fling! We are off to town today with a stop...
Welcome from a small farm in central Texas! We have a few cacti in the pasture, which we are trying to keep from spreading. We are avid gardeners,...
Mine don't look as good as yours, although they taste just fine. I'm using tuna fish cans with the top and bottom cut out, and the shorter sides...
This is my second "favorite scent" post, but I had forgotten to list freshly turned soil. My husband tilled one of the smaller vegetable gardens...
Kameron, welcome! We love to see pictures of plants, pets, whatever (yes, that is a hint) so if you want to post photos, it's really easy. I don't...
This is the nicest, softest foot-warmer I've ever had!
I've started cutting back some perennials, now that the soil is dry enough for me to get into and out of the beds! Tomatoes and some herbs are...
I stumbled across this article by Michael Pollan (have no idea who he is) and it gave me food for thought (pun intended, I just couldn't resist!)....
