Blacklab, Superthrive, as I understand it, is a hormone solution that helps plants "settle in" after transplanting. I think Cherylad uses it. It...
If they are bringing in pollen, that means they are building brood (the queen is laying eggs and the workers are feeding babies). They don't do...
It's usually better to let transplants settle in for a week to 10 days before fertilizing them. Transplanting is a bit of a shock, and the root...
Lovely Miss Kitty seems to have everything a cat needs--a soft place to sleep and someone who caters to her every wish. That is a very scratchable...
Pictures, we need to see it! What a great idea, and it brings new meaning to the term "flower bed".
We've experienced some awesome things--the Aurora Borealis; the coral reefs off Bonaire with the variety of fish; Texas sunrises and sunsets; but...
Wow, 44 happy years, congratulations! I suppose that means you were a child bride (just like me :wink: ).
You sure have a "nose for bargains!" I'm envious, I admit it. All the Craigslist here has is junk cars and BeanieBabies. :(
New2it33, great! If they haven't left yet it is unlikely they will leave the hive. Are they coming and going? Do you have a source of water nearby...
FBG, we are in farming country, surrounded by wheat, oats, corn, and pastures. Our bees and our honey are fine. We haven't found the pollen from...
Eileen, I could ship you the corpse. I have no plans for it.
Eileen, if you find a fly being eaten by a fungus fascinating, would you like to come get the skunk for me? You might find that very interesting....
Wow, after seeing that, getting the dead skunk out from under the porch doesn't seem like such a gross task after all. I think this is going to...
Honey, come on down to Texas--our dawn comes up with a roar and a red sky, then it turns into a beautiful azure blue with puffy white clouds...
Donna, gardeners don't need sleeping pills, ever! I can hardly wait to see your photos. I spent the last two days pulling 403 weeds! :roll:
Couldn't have happened to a better person--lots of potting compost for a good cause! Congratulations. I sure wish some of our stores had such rebates.
Bees are a great excuse for planting--I actually have two extra flower gardens, thanks to the bees and my husband's willingness to let me dig in...
New2it, bee-keeping is fascinating, fun, and can be profitable. I'll try to give you a quick overview, but be sure to ask any specific questions...
Sherrye, I was watching Cook's Country yesterday, and the blonde chef made chicken Cordon Bleu. She made a pocket in the thick end of the chicken...
Love your caption, Eileen!
