Kathy, butterfly (swallowtail) caterpillars will eat fennel down to the ground. I had three different growths of fronds one year--the first two...
Fennel freezes better than it dries. I freeze the fronds on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. The seeds dry and store well....
Terriers were bred to dig and get prey (rabbits, moles, etc) so the digging part is purely natural. I agree with Carolyn--get something nasty...
Oh, that is good! :lol: :-P :-P
Lukey, the bronze fennel isn't as strong a grower as the green. It doesn't get too tall (about 2' here in Texas) and needs just a bit more shade...
There are lots of restrictions on sending plant material out of Texas--fire ants, certain soil borne diseases, etc. For the same reason, citrus...
That horse has afterburners! Amazing--the jockey should be congratulated, also.
Carolyn, If you roast a chicken, stuff it with several fennel fronds and a small onion halved. The infusion of flavor is wonderful! Also, I like...
We have a native senna here in Texas (cassia corymbosa )which has the yellow flowers, but smaller leaves than the senna Philip grows. Ours gets to...
Art, a hearty welcome from Central Texas! Growing from seed is a great way to get wonderful flowers (and vegetables). You'll enjoy talking...
Okay Philip, this is not one of my favorite memories, but everyone seems to get a chuckle out of it. Bitten by a seal in Toronto, Canada We were...
At least six of the animals are now being cared for at the Columbus Ohio Zoo. Carolyn, since the animals were outside the perimeter fence, I can...
Last night's news reported that none of the animals escaped the outer fence, and authorities were taking a body count to see what animals were...
Oh, my, yes, you need to thin and transplant! Pick out the smallest ones, then carefully lift and transplant the larger ones. I use a one-gallon...
Miles, how old is the eggplant? After a few months they begin to shed their bottom leaves. If you still have new growth at the top, and if it is...
For the life of me I cannot understand why private individuals are permitted to have wild animals. Here in Texas there are drive-through "animal...
Carolyn, we spent 25 years in upstate New York near Lake Ontario, so I know what you mean about the snow and the blahs. Don't you just hate the...
Prickly, cold isn't the enemy--it's drought and grasshoppers. So far the lettuce is up, and I'm watering every other day. The broccoli is caged to...
I love the owl and the duck best, but all of the sculptures are wonderful. Such talent! Cheryl, do not go out and de-shoe horses. You have enough...
Good heavens, where do y'all get the energy--Wardian cases, ladybugs, snowflakes, painting cabinets, cards! :setf_049: I'll just feed chickens...
