Gee Mart, if you get tired of eating your "experiments" I could force down a pizza or two!
We have three suet feeders out. The local hardware store calls us when the suet cakes are on sale, and we get the all-purpose, no melt kind and...
I grew them when living in upstate NY, and never harvested until after a hard freeze. I didn't leave them to overwinter in the ground after I...
So glad you are home! Remember, being fast isn't as important as getting to your goal, so don't worry about being a bit "slow" getting about. You...
We are having a bright, sunny day with current noontime temperatures in the low 50's. My dear husband took down the fans in the chicken coops and...
Carolyn, your post made me want to run out and get another pumpkin and try the "no stem cutting" method! One can learn so much here (and remember...
Now THAT is a catchy title for a post! Here "Bare Naked Ladies" are a type of lily that suddenly appears, puts out a lovely red bloom, and then...
Oh my, what great, great news! Kildale at home, watching birds, and his wife must be so very relieved! Thank you Eileen, for keeping us all...
Since it is a cooler, rainy day, we are having pasta with marinara sauce, Italian bread, and a salad of baby lettuces with carrot shavings....
It's raining today--and predicted to be off-and-on all day so I baked gingersnaps after seeing to the hens. I'm getting a good start on my...
I thinned the leaf lettuces and have a nice bag of baby leaves for a salad. We put up the supports for the sugar peas but ran out of garden twine,...
Jerry, love your caption, and the pictures you post for the contest. You have a very inventive mind!
Tomorrow is the 7th--Freedom Day for Kildale, we hope. I don't know how he managed it, but the Dereila Nature newsletter was as great as usual....
Sjoerd, I sympathize with you giving up your food bank garden. Our two large gardens are now fallow since the local food bank can't accept...
The English sparrows are migrating, but took a break to have a pool party at our watering station. Now I have to pick up all the beer cans . . . ....
Sjoerd, how about growing in a large pot? The community gardeners here do that--they don't want their small plots dedicated to garlic for such a...
We planted garlic in mid-October, and it is showing small green shoots now. I'll put more compost on the rows, and then leave it alone during the...
I can't say for sure, but the bloom fall might be "balling", a condition caused by the bud getting wet (rain or dew) and then drying quickly in...
Lovely, and so interesting! Those who sail those ships must be so skilled.
First time! I put on my heavy jacket and puffy gloves, and cultivated the peas, lettuces, and broccoli. I've never before cultivated the fall...
