Donna, we have argiopes or "Gardener's Friend" spiders. I love their zig-zag webs, and the fact that they take out a lot of grasshoppers. Other...
Ronni, you are too kind! You have a natural eye for color and composition, and your new flowerbed in front shows it (and your deck isn't bad,...
I'll keep an eye open for your robins and hummingbirds, Captain. We have grackles all the time it seems (actually just a spring and a fall...
Philip, most dogs will put up with almost anything as long as it involves petting and treats! A few kind and gentle words during the process don't...
Ronni, that is brilliant! I never knew there was a Dremel attachment for filing a dog's nails. What a great idea!
Hi, we are in Texas, too. This is NOT the time of year to renovate a lawn! Wait until cooler and wetter weather, probably October. Regular mowing...
Mrs. G, we have grown arugula (also known as roquette or rocket) for years. It is very prolific--just a few plants (six plants for the two of us,...
Have you tried a weekly filing, complete with lots of treats? Our Golden/St. Bernard had nails that were incredibly thick. I found that sitting on...
Thank you for the update on Glenda, and especially since the news is so good!
If dirt is healthy, I am probably the healthiest person you've ever seen! I can get downright grubby by 8 a.m., and absolutely repulsive by noon....
Mrs. G, you have many hidden talents! Those decorated cakes and cupcakes are beautiful. I think the slightly-out-of-kilter Smurf house is...
Ronni, I've seen those at the county fair poultry exhibit. They're called "Silkies" and are very popular. One little girl even explained how she...
$2500 per chicken--cheep ( :) ) at the price! After you build a predator-safe coop, put in the required nest boxes, watering stations, and...
Ronni, here in Texas with our summer heat, the best time to plant roses is fall, October preferably. If you have long spells of freezing weather,...
Dooley, thank you for the information. Glenda will be in our thoughts and prayers, hoping that she is well and back home soon.
KK, you'll love your new home, and new garden! Just be sure to pack up all us Stewies when you move. We don't want you to leave us behind!
I can recommend Scheepers Pine Tree Seeds (they sell bulbs in addition to seeds), and Jung's. I'd strongly recommend staying away from Michigan...
We have more hummers this year than ever before! We have three feeders, and make syrup two or three times a week. Because of our heat, we only...
You probably have lots of friends all over the place, including Texas Burger! Glad your special day got off to a good start.
Fellow Stewies, having had the great privilege and pleasure of meeting Dooley and DR, I can assure you these are two of the very nicest folks, and...
