Toni, I would love to have some Liatris seed--our bees are particularly fond of it, and we never seem to have enough coming up volunteer in the...
Margie, when we were working on a grant to furnish native plants for a burned-over area, we were given kits which included plastic knives and...
Shoot, here in Texas the decorations stay up all year, and the lights are turned on for 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and some holidays...
Gardens are wonderful, and not only in the daytime! Is that the luffa that luffa sponges are made from? I never realized it was such a beautiful...
Daisy, the cherry tomatoes are "Sungold" and if you don't pick up every one that falls on the ground, you've just planted next year's crop! I kept...
OH, that is lovely! Your sunset is spectacular, and I like the way you caught some of the palm trees in the rainbow pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, y'all. We enjoy our gardens' produce and the hens' contributions, also. S-H, we don't use pesticides, mainly because we keep honeybees....
Eileen, Brilliant cooks know no borders. Your frittatas are probably as good as the ones you could get in Tuscany, Florence, or any high-priced...
Saturdays are usually pretty busy around here--my husband catching up on farm chores, me chasing chickens and weeding. Lunch has to be when we can...

Gail, your garden is still pretty, even after the frost! We had a light frost Fri. and Sat. nights, but up here on the hill it was so light that...
Toni, the bloom is a lovely soft pink, and there are lots of them! The rose is also a re-bloomer. I've done the same thing with climbers (I...
I just got through putting 15 rose cuttings to root (hopefully!). There is a 100 year old rose bush at the manse for the church up the road, and I...
