Toni, nope, not vegan, but we do eat a lot of vegetables! When you grow your own, the vegetables just taste better, and there is almost no waste....
What good luck, both for you and for the plants! Stella d'Oro is a great lily--you'll enjoy it for years. Kalanchoe is often sold as a...
Donna, I sense a kindred spirit in you! Our garden keeps expanding (as does my waistline!) but it is so much fun to dig, plant, harvest and eat....
Right now I have too much basil and too much parsley, and come December I'll be wishing I had both fresh. The next best thing to fresh is basil...
Spider mites can be removed with a good blast of water. If you think your bean plants aren't sturdy enough to stand up to a hose blast, you can...
Frank, that 'toon is hilarious! Mrs. G, now when I see the bunnies leaping over each other, I can tell my husband that they are binkying. He...
AAnightowl, we keep bees and are extra careful what we use on the gardens. Neem Oil is not toxic to bees, butterflies or their larvae, and to...
Philip posted about Neem Oil taking out grasshoppers. It does! It also takes out squash bugs! My cukes, which are really prone to fungal diseases...

I do love your captions, Captain!
And another warm welcome from Texas! We are in central Texas, just about half-way between Dallas and Austin. Washington state, or D. C.? Either...
Oh, no, not again! Please don't take any risks and please let us know how you are doing. Hourly updates aren't necessary :roll: , but please do...
Carolyn, have a very happy, and hopefully relaxing, birthday! No one deserves a day off more than you!
Digging potatoes! Our LaSoda Reds are ready to dig, and I enjoy getting those little red gems out of the dirt (I know, I need to get out more)....
Oh, Hank, you sure know how to brighten a day! As Eileen said, keep 'em coming!
Hi rookie, and welcome to the forum. Burdock isn't dangerous (people even eat the root) but if you think it's big now, wait until next year!...
Jerry, flights were not cancelled, just rerouted to Texas. I went out early this morning (dumb,dumb)to pick squash and got several good bumps....
