Magnificent! You chose a look that compliments your climate and your house style.
Great haul! The head gardener ought to have a math-check to find out how many plants cover what area! Fortunately, he/she seems to be number...
Sometimes peppers are just perverse! Take a small artist's brush (or a cotton swab on a stick) and dabble a bit of pollen from one flower to...
Mart, I'll never look at vegetables the same way. :shock:
Ah, gee, you are too kind. You also ruined my reputation as a curmudgeon! Giving a bit of encouragement and advice is small repayment for all the...
Well, no wonder you're blushing . . . . Mart, have you been out in the sun today? Perhaps a cool cloth and a sit in the shade will restore you...
Now I don't feel so bad about saving beeswax from our hives. We don't get a lot of it because we don't destroy comb, but when we extract honey...
Cheryl, If you can plant them without disturbing the rootball, I think they will do fine. Just give them a bit of afternoon shade for 3-4 days...
Don, that's a great photo. I didn't think to take a photo of a swallowtail instar on rue, so I thank you doubly for doing so!
First, I am not referring to members of the Stew, whom I find to be very literate, and who use words correctly. Your posts are a joy to read....
Gail, Rue often takes a full year to develop. When I get volunteer rue plants, they are about 6" tall the first year, then the second year they...
Okay, fun's over, back to work! You certainly had a great time with your sister at the garage sales, and also at the Farmers' Market. Wish we had...
Oh joy, more photos from Kildale! I love it when you take a trip--we all get to go along and see the sights, thanks to you and your cameras. Have...
I made the mistake of telling our bees about National Pollinator Week. Now they have an attitude and expect special treatment. My husband...
Cheryl, First, never do crush and strain in your kitchen. It can lead to a major re-model. One puts honey-containing comb in a container (which...
It sure sounds as if you will get some honey! Time to start looking around for an extractor (believe me, the crush and strain method is incredibly...
Droopy and Toni, you two are a cook's dream! Nice people who will absorb all the extras falling out of the oven and stove. The world needs more...
Just out of sheer gratitude, that tomato plant may give you a prize winning, HUGE tomato. Or not. Anyway, you did a good thing, and your...
Not to argue with Cicero, but in addition to a library and a garden, a person needs a kitchen to be entirely complete!
Let's see: christmas lights, washers, and some coated wire--Yup, got all that, now all I have to find is some talent! Love those bugs, and right...
