On Labor Day we blended our two flocks of hens. The younger ones and the older ones had watched each other in adjoining coops for about six weeks,...
Dooley, That wasn't the result we were all hoping for. All the Stewies are pulling for you. Keep strong and let us know of your progress.
Go ahead, I love puns! Many nurseries don't know the difference between the two bays, and it's easy for someone to get the wrong tree for culinary...
Cheryl's suggestion of salvia greggii is a good one. They come in white, raspberry, red, and coral; need to be pruned back by about 1/3 in July...
Wishing you and your wife a very, very happy anniversary!
Well, why didn't you mention you were having fun on the roof? Probably scraping paint was the most entertaining . . . . At least you had a...
Hello, and welcome from Central Texas! We're glad to have you, and as Toni said, you might as well tell us more about yourself because we will...
Here in Texas we have fewer insects in the fall than in the spring. Ask some long-time gardeners in your area what they experience. Red cabbage...
Oh, that's lovely, and so GREEN! But I must ask, what were you doing on the roof?
Welcome, Queen Be from central Texas! We fight heat and dry, and actually have to protect some vegetable plants from the sun. Your garden will do...
Flying used to be an adventure, a pleasure, not an ordeal. Hope your suffering is done and that after a nice visit with family, your return trip...
Tooty, the fires near Austin are in Bastrop, and Steiner Ranch subdivision. Evacuations in both areas. We spoke to our county extension agent...
No rain in sight, or predicted. There are three fires in our greater area. The one near Marquez has caused evacuations, as has the one near...
Oh, Netty, could we have a photo of you during the "pantless" weather? It's in the high 70's here, first time we've had windows open in over...
There is a variety of okra called Clemson Spineless which isn't nearly as "itchy". I put a generous coatiing of hand lotion on my arms before...
Beautiful horse, and shows a lot of promise! You must be proud.
We freeze okra by itself, and also with tomatoes and onions for a vegetable "stew". Good for you, trying something you were told "won't grow...
What an adorable puppy! With that face, of course she is bossing the older dog (and probably her humans, too!)
Like Dooley, we have figs, but no flowers (at least not that we can see). Fig jam is lovely--I'm sure your Ice Jelly will be delicious. Birds...
We usually don't get robins until late Sept. Perhaps we'll get them earlier this year, if the weather cooperates. Keep us posted as to what...
