We had our first freeze last night, Nov. 11-12, so I harvested all the roses in bud and just opening. We ended up with five bouquets: [img] Last...
Your wife's good intentions will be for naught. I have tried to get my husband to use more than two fingers on the keyboard, but he is still a...
Jerry, anti-snow rituals don't work. Believe me, when we lived in upstate NY with "lake effect" snow storms, if there had been a efficacious...
There are few things in life as satisfying as planning and planting your very own garden. Dan, it looks like you are going to be very satisfied!...
Cheryl, the snowbirds' flocking to Texas has been re-routed to Fatu Hiva or Tauhata. Those are stunning photos, and it seems your brothers are...
Well, several things could have gone wrong. It could be you have a fungal infection in the soil (Botrytis allii), in which case don't plant onions...
Okay girl, you got me inspired to move my tender herbs onto the barn shelf with a plastic tent ready for the cold weather. You have a full time...
Gee thanks, Sjoerd! Now at 2 a.m. I'll be running that song through my head :smt015 . I love it that your neighbor let the plant grow to see what...

Isn't it wonderful when an old friend drops in to visit! Thank you for sharing the photo--I don't know if we get them here, but if we do I'll now...
Netty, your snow is very pretty, very scenic, and very cold. I'll stick with our Texas November weather, although we did have to turn on the heat...
Here's hoping KKNg is safe and dry. Winds of 195 mph are terribly dangerous.
Cheryl, that is a lovely winter home for the tender plants! You (and hubby) did very, very well. I just use an empty stall in the barn with a...
Eileen, we awoke to the sound of gunfire this morning--hunters after doves. Why someone wants to shoot a bird that will give them at most one bite...
We winter sow, but not like you are talking about, I fear. We sow cool weather crops directly into the garden and they sprout and grow slowly...
With the rains, our native flowers and plants have gotten their second wind and are blossoming for us and the bees. [img] Early November flowers...
