Clay, I like your attitude, and I am so ready for a bit of extra happiness!
Louisianajean, I learned the hard way. I planted okra and was thrilled with the hibiscus-like flowers. Then I learned that okra likes to be...
I up-potted some basil seedlings, planted Mexican Buckeyes, and made sure all my seedlings were damp, warm, and happy. If the weather doesn't...
I've given this a lot of thought and I have come to the conclusion I'll just settle for being a human animal. That way I get to enjoy, care for,...
I'm tired of winter. I'm tired of overcast skies, drizzle, and cold! Now that I have that off my chest I can say that I planted Mexican Buckeye...
Oh my, how thrilling for you! We hope to attract owls, but haven't had any luck so far. A Great Horned owl--how wonderful!
Thank you all for your comments! Frank, if a Stewie wants the newsletter, he/she can sign up by clicking on the www.rgf-tx.com which goes to our...

Ah, Syd, if that's the worst faux pas you commit, don't worry about it. We like you so much that we could forgive something much more terrible...
May you have a very happy birthday, and many more to come!
Oh, how I miss peonies! When we lived in upstate New York, we had peonies of several colors, and even a tre peony. Here in Texas the heat just...
Cayuga, yes goat manure needs to be composted. It also tends to clump up in the compost pile, so spread it around as much as possible. We received...
Donna and Netty are right--the plastic bottles would trap too much heat, and the clear plastic would act as a reflector, burning leaves. If you...
Syd, you are so kind! Your photos are lovely, and thank you so much for posting them. And here is a rose for you--Lady Hamilton just ready to...
Happy for you, Toni, and I sincerely hope you get all of it and we get none of it!
