OH, gosh, I should have mentioned that we don't use the louvered doors on the bathrooms! :oops:
When companies give out names for references, they are not the unhappy customers that you'll talk to! Try Angie's List. No one there has an ax to...
Like Toni, we are in Texas in a house built in the late 1970's. As we replace doors (hollow core, ghastly fake something-wood) we are using...
Old Christmas ornaments are highly collectible, even ones that show they've been on a few trees. Have you thought of contacting an antique dealer...
Well, happy anniversary! It's a happy occasion for you, but for all of us here--your posts are delightful, and your photos are great!
Another welcome from warm and buggy Texas! Gardening in our climates can be very rewarding, after the gardener stops pulling his/her hair out in...
Lukey, I've never let a coleus make a flower spike, since the foliage is the big attraction. Some of a plant's energy goes into making flowers and...
Kathy, butterfly (swallowtail) caterpillars will eat fennel down to the ground. I had three different growths of fronds one year--the first two...
Fennel freezes better than it dries. I freeze the fronds on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. The seeds dry and store well....
Terriers were bred to dig and get prey (rabbits, moles, etc) so the digging part is purely natural. I agree with Carolyn--get something nasty...

Lukey, the bronze fennel isn't as strong a grower as the green. It doesn't get too tall (about 2' here in Texas) and needs just a bit more shade...
There are lots of restrictions on sending plant material out of Texas--fire ants, certain soil borne diseases, etc. For the same reason, citrus...
That horse has afterburners! Amazing--the jockey should be congratulated, also.
Carolyn, If you roast a chicken, stuff it with several fennel fronds and a small onion halved. The infusion of flavor is wonderful! Also, I like...
We have a native senna here in Texas (cassia corymbosa )which has the yellow flowers, but smaller leaves than the senna Philip grows. Ours gets to...
Art, a hearty welcome from Central Texas! Growing from seed is a great way to get wonderful flowers (and vegetables). You'll enjoy talking...
Okay Philip, this is not one of my favorite memories, but everyone seems to get a chuckle out of it. Bitten by a seal in Toronto, Canada We were...
At least six of the animals are now being cared for at the Columbus Ohio Zoo. Carolyn, since the animals were outside the perimeter fence, I can...
Last night's news reported that none of the animals escaped the outer fence, and authorities were taking a body count to see what animals were...
