Well, I have a tear in my eye also. Thank you Hank, for reminding us all that not everyone is the same, but we are all alike.
Hello to both Trudy and Kelly from central Texas! Tell us all about yourselves, what you grow, your plans for your gardens, and we LOVE photos!
Gorgeous! I was iris-less until a kind member of the Stew sent me some this spring. I'm so looking forward to seeing them in bloom next spring....
I share your joy--we have a sunny, breezy day with the high temperature to be in the low 70's. Everything is still too soggy to work outside in...
Oh, very Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy every moment of your day.
We had another wet and sprinkley day, too. I think I'm growing moss between my toes, and mold in my ears! I haven't been able to get into the...
Oh Hank I dearly love these! I don't know which is my favorite, perhaps all of them! My oldest sister was married to an ex-Navy pilot, and one of...
Netty, just reading all that you get accomplished makes me so tired I want to go have a lie-down! Isn't it good to be outside, messing about? I...
Lovely children, and yes, I do think they are having fun!
Syd, as a history buff and gardener, I do have a couple of books about the history of plants. I have Peter Coats' Flowers in History, and a book...
Cuatro-gatos, the Crimson Cascades have a light scent, but we have other roses that are heavily scented--just walking down the path to the barn is...
We have snails, but not that handsome! For a caption, how about "How did I get all the way up here, and how do I get down?"
When we moved to Texas, residents told us that roses, among other things, didn't grow in Texas. Please don't tell that to our Crimson Cascade on...
All I can say is--your allotment is incredibly well-maintained, beautiful, and obviously much loved! The ducklings are precious. We keep hoping a...
Drool, drool, drool! That is some of the best looking fried chicken I've ever seen. If it tastes even half as good as it looks, you ought to...
Brandon, from the pea photo it looks like you have beetle damage. I'm not sure where you are, so I could easily be wrong. If it is beetles, they...
Oh, how I miss seeing Home and Garden shows! There just aren't any near us, so seeing posts about shows are especially nice to see.
Sueanne, we had never had Papaya until we were vacationing in the Caribbean. A waiter at a restaurant was singing the praises of papaya, so we...
Sjoerd, I showed your post to my husband (resident beekeeper) and he said he'd heard of the newspaper method, but had never seen it in action....
We have had days in the high 70's to low 80's, and nighttime in the high 50's to 60's. Yesterday we got nearly 2" of rain, which would have been...
