Using old mailboxes as a receptacle for gloves and tools is a brilliant idea! I am forever having to trek to the barn for my bypass pruners or...
I contacted a friend in East Texas who grows raspberries, and this is what she told me: After a cane bears fruit, cut it to the ground. In spring...
You painted those? Wow! Your mailboxes are beautiful, almost too lovely to leave outside. Your fan-blade flowers are great, too. Thanks for...
Our vegetable gardens are all prepared (compost tossed on, raked over and rows marked) so today we are planting lettuces, chard, spinach, and...
Toni, great caption! Your sense of humor is a joy!
Jerry, if I could grow daylilies like you do, they'd be my favorite, too!
Yes, my husband talks to the animals! I was cleaning out the asparagus bed and flushed two baby bunnies. One ran for the compost pile. The other...
Bunkie, it's heartening to hear that lovage is so tough. I'll try to put it in at least two places, perhaps three, to assure that some survives...
For someone as active as you this must be pure Hades! So sorry it happened and that you didn't get to enjoy your vacation. As we say here in...
Amazing photo! You either have a real eye for nature (my bet) or those deer just show up to pose for you. Glad they aren't damaging, just...
That's a great question, and one that's really hard to answer. Generally, my favorite is whatever is in bloom and in front of me! If I could...
I love to see new members joining this forum. We have such a nice group here, and seeing it grow (pun intended) is so great. However, please let...
I have read that extreme cold has a detrimental effect on mental powers. :wink:
Toni, as always, is right. The pelleted seed doesn't save from one year to another, so use it up or give some away this year. I'm not sure where...
Wonderful bit of spring greenery there, Tina. Thank you for sharing! We had forsythia when we lived in upstate NY and I always cut a few...
Margie, I think that early March would be just fine, especially in view of GardenToad's response (who is your fellow Hoosier). If you have...
Margie, Count back 8 to 10 weeks from the time you want to set them in the garden, and plant them inside. You have to give them a week or two to...
February is the beginning of the gardening season for us. The beds are prepped in January and we plant lattuces, chard, spinach, peas, potatoes...
Toni, try cooking noodles in the stock. I used just enough of the stock for the noodles to absorb, and they were delicious! A great side dish with...
Ava is absolutely adorable, and probably not catered to by her grandpa, right? I have memories of that snow. Every time I see a weather forecast...
