Today in the garden - I hauled five wagons of tree leaves and spread them as mulch in cleaned-up areas of the border. Next Spring I may cover...
Fall keeps you busy? Do the wisteria leaves join all the others in the compost containers?
Netty, I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find some peace with time.
Indoors - I did a major pruning of the mini roses I was playing with this year. They looked sad. I cut them to about two inches tall, above...
Sjoerd, yes, that's culinary sage. It's not my favorite herb. I like rosemary and basil, better. But it's a good deer- and rabbit- resistant,...
Today I had a little hen funeral. Buried the White Leghorn hen, deep in a raised bed. She did a great job, supplying all those big eggs. When...
Thank's Sjoerd. I don't claim to be that skilled at it, but sometimes I can make something work again, and look better. I replaced the broken...

Here are my lavender seedlings now. I wanted varieties that I can't buy at the store. November might seem very early to start seeds, but I read...
Very nice, Mel! I bought one at the hardware store, too. I was an annoying customer and opened the boxes to check. A lot of their bulbs had...
I pruned the remaining fig trees in my "Adam and Eve Wardrobe Grove". Otherwise known as the row of fig trees by the easement. I cut them all...
They have a medicated feed. I haven't seen any parasite problems in a long time. A number of years ago they were sick. I researched it and...
Wax can help, Sjoerd. I did that with the drawer boxes that also don't have rails. I think these dressers are over 100 years old, no rails. The...
Lots of rain here too. It is what I remember from years past and feels normal, but feeding the chickens and bringing them in at night can be a...
Oreti, Pac, Sjoerd, you all keep busy! I putter a little in the sunroom. I have a few seedlings started early, pelargoniums and lavender are...
