Carolyn, The shipping costs are astronomical for children (crates, feeding, etc.). Wait until they are old enough to either walk to the...
The girls have had three mornings outside in their chick playpen. I keep an eye on them but they seem to be enjoying the outdoor life. [img]...
Impressive, and a magnificent photo!
Those are lovely looking transplants! I have no idea what happened to the missing ones. Usually rabbits and other pests avoid onions, and birds...
Welcome to the Stew! This is an international group of great folks. We lived in upstate NY for 25 years, and then moved to central Texas to thaw...
It sounds as if it might be powdery mildew. The cure for that is a mix of half water and half milk, shaken well and put in a spray bottle. Spray...
We grew celery in upstate NY, and it was a good spring crop for us. It does need a lot of feeding, and watering, but the result is worth it. We...
June 15 must be a very special day--birthday of Carolyn and Netty both! We need to throw a party (I'll bring the squash). Carolyn, happiest of...
Happy Birthday! May you have many more, and many more posts here on the Stew. Tell us what you had for dinner--a special, favorite meal, I hope!
Our climate and yours are quite different, so please take that into consideration. You may want to double check with a reputable, owner-operated...
Tongs! I have three pairs--long, medium and short. I love them for fishing things from behind the couch (cat toys), for holding dust rags to do...
That bloom is a carnival of colors! If that's the first, we can hardly wait to see the next ones.
I second Philip's advice. I also noticed a white (reflective) wall behind the roses. How hot is it where you are in California? It may be that...
Ed, daffodils are traditionally planted in the fall for next spring blooming. Can you keep the bulbs in a dark place, with low humidity, until...
This is a very useful topic! I don't burn--just like FBG, I turn brown and then browner. However, my husband does burn (poor Irisher!) so I have...
We have grown asparagus in upstate NY and here in Texas, for about 25 years total. We learned that you need to pick the variety to suit your...
Jerry, I just saw your question. If the onions are dried properly (which is why we have them hanging in the barn with air circulation but out of...
Jerry, no they don't follow me around--that will come when they are free-ranging as teenagers, and I train them to come and follow with a plate of...
Sojerd, thanks for the compliment on our onions, and I'm sure yours will do as well or better. The garden cart is over 20 years old--we've hauled...
We went out this morning and pulled the last of the onions. We had so many that we put them in the garden cart and hauled them to the barn to be...
