Donna, Beautyberries (aka French Mulberry) is a wonderful plant to see, and it is a favorite of wildlife, too. If you can soak the root ball and...
What a stitch :lol:! Parenthood can be so trying.
It is a good time-saver! I make my own, using our home-grown garlic and cider vinegar. A bit rubbed on a steak before grilling doesn't do the...
Mexican Feather Grass does lie down, or lean as it ages. One solution is to cut it to about a 3" height and let it come back in the spring....
What a nice balance of colors--the begonia picking up the soft red in his shirt, the shading of the greens--and you were so right to use an...
Ed, it looks as if they are bolting (going to seed). How old are the plants? Lettuces have a life span, and when they reach the end of it they try...
Carol, If it is scale bug, insecticidal soap (1 tblsp. soap like Ivory or Dreft, 1 tsp. vegetable oil, 1 pint of water, shake well and put in a...
The strap around the bull that the rider hangs onto is just behind the bull's shoulders. There is a "suicide wrap" that the riders sometimes use...
In spite of drought and more grasshoppers than we need, I'm going to plant lettuce tomorrow. I know, dumb, dumb, dumb, but I do want some fresh...

Spurs? I was busy petting him, telling him he was a good boy, and trying to make friends! If only they had let me bring him home with me . . . .
Yes, we've seen Christmas decorations for sale for a month--started in September, for heaven's sakes! Bah, humbug . . . .
Finally, a sport I understand! If you stay on the bull, you get points and can win; if you fall off, you lose (and get bruised). I was thrilled...
Glad you're back (and yes, you were missed!). Can hardly wait to see your photos and hear of your adventures in Hawaii. One can travel the world...
No, don't prune your roses yet. If you do, you may get new tender growth that will be winter-killed. It's best to wait until early, early spring...
I would never trust my identification skills enough to eat a mushroom that I picked in the wild. I have enough trouble selecting them in the...
Kathy, I must admit I had no idea how much fun chickens were until we had them. I just wanted something that produced and thought chickens would...
Dooley, Send soup--eggs are on their way! (Just kidding, can you imagine the messes we'd both receive through the mail?)
