Toni, so glad you got wet! We had 2 1/4" overnight, and it's still drizzling this morning. I'm baking bread--cheese knot rolls for Easter--and...
CajunCappy, isn't this a wonderful season in the south? I planted the last of the bell pepper plants today, finally got the tomato patch weeded,...
Here is our potato patch in the first week of April. I used Sjoerd's dig a trench and slowly fill in method, and we have lovely potato plants (can...
Not a vegetable, but basil can be planted deeper. I plant my peppers at the same soil line that they have in the starter pots. If they tip, I...
Barb, the trail camera has captured images of deer, skunk, fox, feral cat, and of course owl. I really don't want to see all that goes on at night...
I finally got the potato patch weeded--the soil has dried out enough that I could get in and hoe and hand weed. I also prepped and took basil,...
Thank heavens I have a Hamilton Beach--simple, easy to clean, and so far after two years of pretty hard use, still in one piece!
Cjay, is there a contractors' supply near you? We have found that such a supplier is willing to sell small batches (although they aren't thrilled)...
When we make fun of ourselves, it's funny. When someone else does, maybe not so funny. Perhaps I'd see the humor if the two men were named James...
I picked lettuce, weeded two rows of potatoes, thinned the turnips for the last time (I hope!) and looked at the grass coming up between my rows...
Carolyn, I went through the same thing with my mother. I'd haul her to the grocery, get everything on her list and a few other "optionals" and as...
We had heavy rain Sunday, but I nipped out while it was still dry and cut bouquets of roses before the downpour came. Here's the bouquet of Bon...
Barb, that's a great pun or two! I'd never be able to keep up with you, but I bake a lot of bread so we both enjoy being in the kitchen!
Mart, great minds run on the same track--I have saved the square plastic containers that purchased suet feed comes in, and have been filling them...
Barb is famous for preserving large amounts of food (would that I had her energy). She inspired me to get 10 lbs. of beef bones at a meat market...
We (he) are mowing everything in anticipation of the rain predicted for the weekend. I picked lettuce early, and hoed the broccoli. It was 55 when...
Marvelous idea, and so handy for the birds! We have bits and pieces of chicken wire, and I think I'll make a nesting material holder using some...
We had a gentle rain last week, not the usual Texas torrential downpour. It was so lovely and quiet that we took a photo of the pasture, all hazy...
No prancing, Frank. I was too busy trying to get the hens into the coop before they got "mad as wet hens!"
Last week we had an unusual occurrence--a soft rain! The pasture looked so pretty, misty, hazy, and wet, that we took a photo: [ATTACH] Our rains...
