Claudine, you came in when it got dark? Haven't you heard of floodlights? Just kidding--we are all like that, compulsive weeders, planters,...
Our "slight chance of severe storms" was a fizzle, also, thank heavens! We got some rain, about 1/2", and had a few bursts of wind, but that was...
Muddypaws, the last person I'd go to for advice is "the guy at Home Depot". If he had a degree in toxicology, veterinary medicine, or...
We aren't in the danger zone, this time, but Oklahoma, Kansas, and Iowa have had tornadoes. When we are in a danger zone, I keep the radio on for...
Happy belated birthday, and we wish you many more!
We had wind today, with overcast. If we get severe storms with hail, it will be tomorrow afternoon and evening. We have our fingers, toes, and...
Deanna, we have all learned not to listen to folks that say, "It's too difficult, it's hard to do, etc." Generally, they haven't tried it or are...

I love touring your garden! It is so different, so lush, so beautiful! Your rose is gorgeous, as are all of your plants.
Drool, drool! I think I'll have to try a Chello next season--I can't believe you have a ripe tomato already! That's a nice puppy in the...
You must have a wonderful garden, if birds want to camp out on your windowsills to enjoy the view! She looks like an Eurasian Collared Dove. Is she?
Pinching out the tops encourages side growth which in Texas is a good thing. If you remove the "suckers" however, Texas tomatoes are opened to sun...
We cover plants to protect them, not from cold snaps, but from hail. When a hail storm is predicted, I haul out all my black plastic pots and turn...
Some of you may remember me mentioning a neighbor down the road with a green thumb--great garden, starts hundreds of plants and then gives them...
Happyzinnia, I don't think washing your gloves or having gloves dedicated to roses is necessary. Any transferrence of the fungus will be taken...
