Happy Birthday to a great gardener, a good person, and a very, very green thumb!
Before you do anything rash, or get a rash (:)) try spraying the rattan, rather than washing it. Washing is probably just hitting the surface, and...
Netty and Eileen, the silvery foliage is artemesia Silver Queen. It spreads by root and I yank out handfuls every once in a while, but it does...
Forgive me if I've posted photos of these beds before, but with the wet spring they are doing particularly well this year. [IMG] Our...
Oh, I miss having peonies! Yours are stunning, Netty, and I do thank you for sharing them with us. The scents must be heavenly!
I see several possible pitfalls, aside from the insurance one, which is huge! "Mixed berry wine"-will you need a license to sell wine? Children...
FBG, this is not from personal experience ;);) but I have "heard" that during covert operations wearing dark clothing and conducting said...
FBG, that man needs to spread the joy--keeping the tomato seeds to himself, a crop failure, and pfffft,, they are gone. Tell him about...
There have been sightings of cougars near us. We are about a half-mile from Sandy Creek, which seems to be the best place to see the occasional...

According to Botanica, magnolias are not easily transplanted since the roots are fragile. If your friend wants to dig up some of the saplings, it...
Carolyn, that isn't being lazy, that is "sampling to see if it merits making it to the kitchen." Sadly, almost all my produce isn't up to snuff,...
Thinking of you, your friend, your wife and Richard's family, and hoping all goes well.
Vinnie, you have truly been bitten by the gardening bug--anyone who goes to a big box store to get a microwave and leaves with gardening stuff is...
Vitrsna, snappers can take off a finger if you mess with a larger one. They are "dangerous" only if you make them feel threatened. Like most wild...
Toni, wish you daughter a wonderful birthday from all us Stewies (and she is lucky to have such a great mama). I just finished mowing the back...
Georgia, mixing egg shells in now won't help much--they will take too long to break down. If you can get your hands on some calcium tablets (most...
Never, ever stick your hoof into a light socket!
Eileen, one learns so much here! I have never heard the term "frutarian". Can you explain it to me please?
