I have propagated oregano, intentionally and otherwise, by having a strand touch the ground. If intentional, I scratch the bottom of a long stem...
Cheryl, If the culprits are the black birds, try putting string on your hibiscus. Just take string and wind it randomly up and down and around...
Gosh, are you going to be in trouble when you return home! Boots is a real cutie, and obviously a travelin' man. Enjoy your vacation and get...
We'll miss you! Have a great vacation, take photos to post, and let us know where you were, what you did, and what plants you found! This is...
Hi from a relatively new member. Glad you found your way back, and I'll be looking forward to reading your posts.
According to the calendar, Aug. 11 is Wannabe's birthday, so Happy Birthday! to you, and may you enjoy many more!
Donna, I have ordered bare-root plants, and each and every time when I ordered I was notified that the plants would be "shipped at the...
Oh, good one! Thanks for sharing. Here in Texas we are saying, "Satan called and wants his weather back." He sure can have it as far as I'm...

Tooty, almost any chicken will go after a mouse (or a rat!). Ours are black Australorps (cross between an Australian breed and Buff Orpintons) and...

Thank you all for your good wishes and congratulations. We had fun reading through the replies together. I fixed a nice dinner of marinated...

Aphids in large numbers can weaken a plant by sucking juices from it. If you aren't harvesting right now, a good soap bath will take care of them....
My husband and I are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary today (well, I'm celebrating--you'll have to ask him his opinion!). The man is a...
Cheryl, make sure the bird waterer/bath is in part shade. You wouldn't believe how hot that water can get in full sun here in Texas! The suet...
Carolyn, we grew Cowhorn and harvested it at 4". At that stage it was tender and wasn't very seedy. I'd think a 9" pod of any variety would be...
FBG, I didn't know that either. I actually thought that customer preferences and regional culinary traditions determined some of the choices in...
It depends on who you order from. We have received dead plants masquerading as "bare root", and we have also received well-packaged plants with...
I just found out that food manufacturers buy shelf space at groceries! It seems that the food company pays the grocery so much per foot (or inch)...
