You are asking a retired librarian what her favorite book is? I love 'em all! Actually, my favorite book is the dictionary--a big, unabridged...
Welcome from Central Texas! We have different climates ( :roll: ) but share a love of plants. We'll help all we can in identifying and in getting...
Have you been tested for pertussis (whooping cough)? It doesn't appear as a "whoop" with adults, only with children. A persistent cough can be...
Oh, goodness, they are cute, even if they are larcenous! Squirrels and chipmunks--the bane of bird feeders. :smt063
I know exactly what you mean! We order our vegetable seeds in late December, so I can get them started in January and February. We are also on a...
I make the worst chocolate chip cookies in the world, but this recipe just might be a huge improvement! It sounds great--I'll get chocolate chips...
Magnificent! You chose a look that compliments your climate and your house style.

Cheryl, If you can plant them without disturbing the rootball, I think they will do fine. Just give them a bit of afternoon shade for 3-4 days...
Don, that's a great photo. I didn't think to take a photo of a swallowtail instar on rue, so I thank you doubly for doing so!

Gail, Rue often takes a full year to develop. When I get volunteer rue plants, they are about 6" tall the first year, then the second year they...
Okay, fun's over, back to work! You certainly had a great time with your sister at the garage sales, and also at the Farmers' Market. Wish we had...
Oh joy, more photos from Kildale! I love it when you take a trip--we all get to go along and see the sights, thanks to you and your cameras. Have...
