Bunkie, it's heartening to hear that lovage is so tough. I'll try to put it in at least two places, perhaps three, to assure that some survives...
For someone as active as you this must be pure Hades! So sorry it happened and that you didn't get to enjoy your vacation. As we say here in...
Amazing photo! You either have a real eye for nature (my bet) or those deer just show up to pose for you. Glad they aren't damaging, just...
That's a great question, and one that's really hard to answer. Generally, my favorite is whatever is in bloom and in front of me! If I could...
I love to see new members joining this forum. We have such a nice group here, and seeing it grow (pun intended) is so great. However, please let...
I have read that extreme cold has a detrimental effect on mental powers. :wink:
Toni, as always, is right. The pelleted seed doesn't save from one year to another, so use it up or give some away this year. I'm not sure where...
Wonderful bit of spring greenery there, Tina. Thank you for sharing! We had forsythia when we lived in upstate NY and I always cut a few...
Margie, I think that early March would be just fine, especially in view of GardenToad's response (who is your fellow Hoosier). If you have...
Margie, Count back 8 to 10 weeks from the time you want to set them in the garden, and plant them inside. You have to give them a week or two to...
February is the beginning of the gardening season for us. The beds are prepped in January and we plant lattuces, chard, spinach, peas, potatoes...
Toni, try cooking noodles in the stock. I used just enough of the stock for the noodles to absorb, and they were delicious! A great side dish with...
Ava is absolutely adorable, and probably not catered to by her grandpa, right? I have memories of that snow. Every time I see a weather forecast...
Netty, how awful! I would hope that the snowmobile fool gets on thin ice! Could you borrow a couple of those spike strips from the local police?...
Glenda, we are birds of a feather! I hate cold, I loathe snow, and right now we are on the leading edge of another "winter event" which means...
Cheryl, Beautyberry is Callicarpa americana and is actually a form of verbena. It grows in semi-shade and can do well in dry cinditions. It is a...
Last week we had a rare (thank heavens!) snowfall here, 2" and it stayed on the ground for over 24 hours. As I was going out early in the morning,...
FlowerFreak, Beautyberry is really easy to propagate from cuttings. If you take cuttings in early spring, after the first flush of growth but...
Thank you for the great news, Heather. Please tell Glenda that we all want her to rest, and to post only when she feels up to it.
Oh Eileen, how awful! You have had enough of winter, I'm sure. Your fortitude in the face of cold, wet, snowy adversity is admirable. Does that...
