Mart, my garlic is in back of the barn, where pigs were kept years ago and the soil is very sandy (sand makes the pigs work harder to walk, and...
KK, with your green thumb, I'm dumbfounded that you are having trouble rooting cuttings! The only thing I can suggest is rooting in potting soil,...
Oh Netty, call in to work and explain what happened to you, then take the day off. We mixed sand in the paint/stain for our deck, and it is...
Yesterday I had an hour in the barn, cutting the roots and dried leaves off the garlic, then taking off the outer layer of "paper". Brought it...
Sjoerd, you are right, but gardeners are resilient, and come back next season with hope and abundance in their plans! Last year we had a dismal...

Good morning, and I had such a good morning today! I did my weekly trip into town to get groceries, and almost everyone was wearing masks. A very...
Mart, if you want cactus, you are welcome to come dig some from our pasture, the roadside, and the occasional poorly maintained front yard!
Mart, I throw nickels around like manhole covers, but I don't begrudge a penny spent on the cats. Our vet, like yours, is very reasonable. She...
This is the time we take the cats to the vet for their annual shots, worm prevention, and check-up. Last week Buddy and Cali went, but Timi is...
