For some reason our Mars grapevine has grown like crazy this spring. It has set on grapes all along its length, and I'm afraid it will be stressed...
Margie, now is the prime time for you to plant or transplant a rose, but the important word is "now". If it needs pruning, do it before moving....
We have two sets of hens. The older ones (6 years old) won't touch carrots in any form. The younger ones (3 years old) eat cooked carrots. Not one...
Pieces of banana? Those pups are, shall we say, different in their tastes. You are well trained, almost as well trained as we are!
Netty, it has a light fragrance, not a walk by and smell the roses fragrance, but a stick your nose up close and sniff fragrance. We have two...
Eileen, the rose's name is "Bengal Tiger", and a portion of each purchase of the rose goes to saving Bengal tigers. How great is that--getting a...
William Blake seems to have written a poem about this rose, the Bengal Tiger. It changes colors as it ages, blooms prolifically, and is easy-care....

EJ, what a shame, and I do hope you can recover quickly from that really nasty rash!
That is a great photo (as usual) of the ospreys! For some strange reason, we don't usually have ospreys here in central Texas (;);)). We did have...
