Cheryl hit it with #3. I think #2 is a holly, although the growth pattern is a little strange for a holly. When we moved here to the farm there...
I beg to differ. Fall will bring rain (we hope!) and cooler temperatures. We have had 38 days with temps above 100, and 20-some days in a row of...
Nice rocks, and you'll use them to advantage! We of course will want to see "after" pictures.
Well Cheryl, it's good to know that someplace in Texas got wet! Cal, do you think St. Elijah knows where Texas is? If so, I'll light a candle to...
Glenda, we wish you the happiest of birthdays!
Happy Birthday, and may you have many more! I think you ought to buy a plant for Toni to celebrate your day. Just a thought . . . .
Welcome, and glad to have you here at the Stew! Lots of really nice folks with gardening experience, stories, and pets. We love photos, so if you...
Town we lived in--fell over backwards to get a W store, small locally owned grocery went out of business, ladies' dress shop closed, locals...
If you want a bit more variety, you could mix in some ferns with your hostas. I think the upright fronds would look good with the shrub, and with...
That is fascinating! And your photos are so clear, as are the explanations. That is some beautiful alarm clock you have there. Love hearing about...
Ed, sunscald will cause a tomato's skin to become leathery. Do your tomatoes have enough leaves to protect the tomatoes from direct, hot sun?...
Glad y'all like the Watusi! Carolyn, I wish the Watusi were in our neighbor's pasture! I'd be over there with treats and soft words, trying to...
Well done, Jerry! Of course, any caption with the name "Dooley" in it is a winner.
We recently saw this lovely cow, which many would mistake for a longhorn. This is a Watusi--very large, very gentle, can be used for plowing,...
How clever of you to see the possibilities in the bread tray! Soda bread sounds interesting, and I do have a recipe. Think I'll try baking some,...
Jerry, find that phone number and send it to me! My rain dancing obviously has had no effect. We were cooler today--only 101 degrees. We are...
Margie, We have "rat snakes" here in Texas, and we treasure them! Snakes are better at keeping rodent populations in check than a herd of cats,...
Lovely photo of a dozing bee! Our ladies sometimes sunbathe. We have a large stone in the middle of one birdbath, and bees will crawl down the...
I'm a country kid married to a city kid. I grew up in a very small town surrounded by farms. My uncle had a farm about a half mile away, and I...
Bernie, I forgot to mention that we keep hens--black Australorps. Great little layers, beautiful and docile. They are a cross between Orpingtons...
