Today is the first official day of autumn, and we have several signs that fall is coming! We had an Inca dove on our path to the barn--haven't...
Barb, I can send you some rattlesnake meat, still alive and squirming. How fresh can it get? I love crab, but agree that getting at the good part...
Haven't tried ostrich or kangaroo, but rattlesnake is pretty tasty! And no, it doesn't taste like chicken, at least any chicken I know. Philip,...
Kitties sit in colorful carriers, dogs have leashes.
Yes Netty, we'd love to see photos of your ribbons and prize winning entries! Toni, a fellow gardener hereabouts swears by "planting by the moon."...
What a shame, but how typical of you, Kildale, to take a photo of the sapsucker on the fallen tree. You made lemonade from a lemon!
Gee Toni, and I thought I was a bit overboard about my hens!
Islandlife, I'll take it--just send that fog, mist and dank day down here! Planted the leaf lettuces and spinach this morning and am hoping the...

Toni, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Randy, and for your insurance to pony up. Please let us know how things are going for him. It's muggy...
Oh, yes it is possible, but it takes a while. Start with putting 2" to 4" of compost on top of your "cement" and watering it well. Then scratch...
There is a very hardy shrub, Peruvian Rock Rose (pavonia peruviana) that has burst into bloom with our recent rains. It is absolutely care-free,...
Yes, the orb spider is also known as the "Gardener's Friend" since it takes care of so many harmful insects. I dearly love to see a grasshopper...
Margie, those birdhouse gourds are not our gourds since our ladle gourds have "convoluted" stems. They make good dippers for bird seed, potting...
We grew ladle gourds a couple of years ago. Those got picked when the vines started to die off--yellowing leaves and the stems attaching the...
Welcome! It would really help to know where you are (state, if you are in the USA, or province if in Canada, or area if in UK, etc.). If you keep...
2ofus, we are waiting for out nighttime temperatures to match your daytime temperatures! I still have to turn on the hens' coops fans around noon,...
