Tooty, I'd be interested in his thoughts, too. No reply to my e-mail and photo. I even sent a follow-up to ask if he was well. He just may slip to...
Sjoerd, congratulations! I just won't tell the cats their cute photo was beaten by leeks. They are sensitive . . . .
Today we took our almond crop out to the garden table and shelled almonds. With the dry summer, even though we watered faithfully, we had fewer...
Sjoerd, I have no idea what plant it is. A friend with a black thumb gave me the original cuttings, saying "you can't kill this" and she was...
Netty, I read your post and went back to bed, completely exhausted! I don't see how you do it all, but you do, and with grace and wit. I re-potted...

I cut out hackberry sprouts from the flower gardens today. Hackberrys spread like wildfire, and are just about as beneficial. They are a useless...
Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. I admit I understand about every third word, but the man writes so well and I finally...
Good morning this Saturday sunny and cool morning! The grass is really wet, so no gardening or mowing until things dry out. I did go out and cut...
