Toni, you sure know how to make lemonade out of the lemons (or dust and noise) that is handed to you! Our Passionvine is pretty well eaten by the...
We have many blessings here in the USA, one of which is access to sites like the Stew, filled with kind, smart, and funny (that's you, Hank)...
Donna, those strange zucchini look like Coosas. Do they have a very small seed cavity? We have planted Coosas (intentionally) for two years, and...
As always, wonderful photos! We have golden eagles around here, and cara caras, an eagle relative. Now with your photos to look at, I've seen the...

Syd, I love your sense of humor! This one was slow and I got pics of it. I can't top the offered captions, but sure got a good giggle this morning...
Sharalyn, that really doesn't look so bad--you were lucky that the plants were young and will recover more quickly. If the leaf is hanging on by a...
Happy Anniversary! Wishing you many more happy years together.
Chickens are not dumb but they are terribly focused, however. When I go to the garden all the ladies line up along the outside coop and stare at...
Donna, you have weeds?;) I finally got around to dead-heading roses, cutting back a couple of shrubs that threatened to take over the path to the...
Yes, the next best thing, but you don't have to bend over to pick and weed, and if your crop fails, someone else has what you need! That sounds...
