Daniela, while you are waiting for your mint to grow (which should be about 10 minutes!) you can try ditomaceous (sp?) earth. It is non-toxic and...
April may be "the cruelest month" but February and March aren't far behind! Make yourself a pot of that delicious cheddar cheese soup and look at...
Welcome Luke! This is a great place to get information, ideas, and help. We're in central Texas, gardening and bee keeping.
Jerry, From what I've read, the hive sends out scouts, and when the scouts find a patch of nectar/pollen plants, they return to the hive and tell...
Eileen, I hesitate to mention it, but the sun is shining and we've had a week of temperatures in the 70's. This time of year here in Texas is...
Margie, if your bulbs come up in pots, leave them there until they have bloomed and the foliage has died back, turned yellow. Then you can plant...
We checked the bee hives yesterday, and saw some of the girls coming in with pollen. They stuff the yellow pollen in sacs on their legs--giving...
Cheryl, I sent a photo or our resident 'dillo to Kildale to see if he wants to use it. And no, it wasn't an upside down dead 'diller clutching a...
Fascinating bird! I've never seen a black phoebe before, in photos or live. We have Eastern phoebes here in central Texas, and they are one of our...
S-H, you put my minor problem in perspective! I cannot imagine being brave/strong/calm enough to do what you did! Eileen, you would not have...
I hope the birds appreciate having a lovely bathroom! That is a great idea, and as usual, you have turned someone else's trash into a delight.
Dooley, fortunately it was my right foot, and I'm left-footed. Sorry to hear you are a fellow sufferer, but I bet you didn't hurt your foot...
Bunkie, I type about as well as I handle farm equipment--it's a "tow-behind" mower, cuts a wide swath in the pasture. Can't even blame my typos on...
Yes, I won the Grand Prize for awkward! I was pushing the tow-behind mower out of the way and somehow the thing rolled onto my foot. I was...
Wonderful, Cheryl! Now remember, ALWAYS wash your hands before going to the computer from the garden. Keyboards don't like compost . . . .
Marvelous! Your birdhouses must fly out of your wife's shop. I can't imagine seeing one for sale and not snatching it up! There's more than time...
When a university asks to use one of your photos, you know you're good! Congratulations, and I do hope they credit you.
S-H, I carried my flat of cherry tomato starts into the computer so they could see yours. I wanted to give them incentive to grow, grow, grow!...
As Jerry said, some folks are worried about any treatment the wood may have received. There is a pallet retrieval company not far from here, so I...
If there is a reason not to, I hope my compost bin doesn't hear of it! We used old pallets for a three-sided bin, anchored by T-posts. So far it...
