Carolyn, so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well--which may be a great understatement. I do hope you recover soon. Today I raked over one of the...
Beautiful photo, and such a great close-up! Congratulations, Kildale.
There is a lot of misinformation about the corona virus. We are not gargling with bleach, nor avoiding Corona beer (some things are worth risking)...
Nightowl, if you have an Ace Hardware store near you, they have bulbs and fixtures for chicks. The fixtures are small and the bulb looks like a...
I find so little on TV that I want to watch. Perhaps we ought to take that money paid for cable and licenses and give it to the local library so...
Mart, I know exactly how you feel. We have wind and wet, so no planting lettuces or onions until next week (if the weather gods smile on us)....
The basil seeds (Genovese large leaf) that I planted on Monday are peeking up out of the soil! I'm so happy to have something growing. Judging...
The photo of the Kop Van Noord looks like a quilt--perhaps some of our quilters will be inspired! All the photos are interesting, and who knew how...

Powdery mildew is easily contained/eliminated. Either use a 1 part milk to 10 parts water mix sprayed on the plants, or 1 tablespoon of baking...
Jerry, our cats don't chase rodents, nor do they compete with each other. We refer to them as the "fearsome threesome" but only because they know...
I have had a lovely gardening morning! First I planted marjoram, basil, and parsley to get started inside on a heat mat and under a grow light--I...
Netty, Eileen, Mart, Island, our cats do have a harsh existence. They remind us of it daily as they are being carried around getting their tummies...
Sometimes being carried, petted, fed, and sweet-talked just tires a cat out. Buddy was exhausted after a morning of being catered to and coddled....
Kildale, I'd get suet from the butcher department if we had such a thing, but since we don't, we put out the cakes from the local hardware store....
Eileen, our birds might like the insects and mealworms embedded in suet but, as much as I like to cook and experiment in the kitchen, I do draw...
Our suet feeders have been hard hit lately. Here's a cardinal enjoying a snack. If you don't have a suet feeder, please get one (or two or three)...
Netty, you are having a good effect on me. Your cheerful way of coping with weather is a model more of us should follow. As I was driving home...
