Oh my, which is my favorite child? I do love roses, and we have about 30 of them. Zinnias are great--easy care, colorful, and the hummingbirds...
Good morning! We have a cool breeze so I've been out weeding, dibbling for potatoes (fun!) and picking lettuce. I'm sending small bags of washed...
Grape leaves impart a dill flavor. I've used them in pickling also when my dill ran out.
Margie, I think fresh rosemary would work best. When we lived up north, a friend living in a wooded area had a terrible deer problem. I rooted...

Happy Birthday! Hope your day is wonderful, and that the wonder carries over to the coming year.

Margie, if you have rosemary, cut some stems and place them in your tomato plants. Deer don't like the scent of rosemary. You could also put...
Oh my, that upstairs balcony (are you going to put some container plants of the vining variety out there?) and the porch/veranda area to the left...
Netty is right, not all seeds need to soak. I go by the size of the seed--beans, cucumber, squash, peas of all types, and bell pepper seeds get...
