I hope we can get all three of the vegetable gardens tilled and composted before I need to start planting mid-month. I wish all my indoor...
No wonder the Irish are such a hearty group! I lived in upstate NY and had "lake effect snow" but nothing like that. :shock:
Frank, Thursday (or whenever) is great--that's my shopping day also, and the weather is supposed to be good so I'll be outside, too. Wherever I...
Tooty, we have cardinals and junkos, but no redpolls. Thanks for posting such a lovely photo so we could enjoy seeing a bird we don't have locally!
Captain, we have a 14 year old cat that loves to play. She will bat a paper wad around the living room, get a game of "woo kitty" going (don't...
Mart, in addition to the tomatoes we start, I buy a couple of dozen Celebrities already started. Either I cut back, or we get a bigger guest...

Those are great photos--Boots is precious!
Citronella comes from a fragrant South Asia grass, Cymbopogon nardus. The geranium has the same scent, but less of the insect repelling...
William's quilt is lovely, and his room will be, also. Babies respond to bright colors more than to the pastel shades (so I've read, having no...
Oliahuynh, we have dark, sticky soil, called "gumbo". We have added compost for the last six years, and the soil is lighter, but not what you'd...
Happy mug/tee shirt to you all! And thanks to Frank for providing the prizes and the opportunity to express what the Stew means to us.
Darn, this melon is the seedless variety!

Those are lovely cacti even if their calendar is a bit off!
Toni, I just loved your caption! Congratulations for making so many of us laugh out loud.
