A very Happy Birthday to a lady with a great avatar! (I smile every time I see that grinning cat).
Oh yes Toni--always avoid the "dudes with chainsaws"! We had a group stop by and offer to "top" our trees. They were lucky to get away without...
I am starting a movement to license pruning shears. If you buy shears, you will be subject to a background check (have you been convicted of crepe...
And another welcome from Texas--central Texas this time. We all here have the gardening itch, BAD! You'll find lots of help, encouragement, and...
Today was a banner day in the coop--I saw two of the daffy dozen eating from the big hanging feeder. Oh, boy, no more filling two feeders in two...
When attacked by clowns, go for the juggler!
Margie, it sounds as if the head is ready to bolt, form yellow flowers, and then seed. How old are the plants, and have you had warm weather (85...
What a great garden! I can hardly wait to see what you do with a bigger one. Corn, watermelons, okra, six varieties of tomatoes . . . .
I don't know which is more interesting--the photos of the wallabies or the photos of your courtyard garden. "Not quite at its best yet, but...
Hi, and a warm welcome to GardenStew! You'll really like it here and meet lots of friendly helpful gardeners. About the photos--just above where...
Kildale, no offense meant, but you must be one of the sneakiest people alive! We have Great Blues at our pond, and I have never, never been able...

Lovely! What a welcome sight on the first day of summer. Your lilies must appreciate your TLC!
Cheryl, the fungus was probably powdery mildew, about the only thing that attacks Crepe Myrtles, except the idiots who commit "crepe murder" by...
We have two crepe myrtles here--both planted years ago before we bought the farm. One is white, the other pink. I must admit they are not my...
Donna, be careful since 'coons are terrible predators of chickens. Our neighbor lost her entire flock to a raccoon--didn't eat them, just killed...
Wow! Your daughter must have really wiped out the ACT test to get an invitation from Yale. You must be proud, and please congratulate her for all...
Mrs. G, the cuphea (Mexican Heather) may be a short-lived perennial for you. They survive over the winter here in Texas, if the temps don't get...
SusieQ, I have several of his/her cousins hopping around our yard. I'll gladly put them on a plane for a family reunion! They are cute, and we...
Today was the big day--blending the mature hens with the daffy dozen chicklets. It went as smooth as a cow on ice--the two bolder chicklets...
