Had a great morning! Husband trimmed and mowed the back yard while I played in the dirt. We now have onions, carrots, broccoli and spinach...
We've slowly been renovating/redoing our home. The Christmas tree photos show the difference in the living room walls. The paneling was dark brown...
Sorry Toni, but Mother Nature is being kind to us! I planted some onions this morning, sifted and added compost to two vegetable beds, and have...
Carolyn, thank you for information about scented geraniums. I'll check a couple of nurseries, and if they don't carry them, I can order on-line. I...
Welcome from a small farm in central Texas! We are all beginning gardeners, in one sense or another, so don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.
Major, like you we can and freeze, and eat a lot fresh. We always intentionally over plant because our local food pantry accepts fresh produce and...
Sometimes cabin fever turns into cabin cleaning. When we lived in upstate NY I spent my winters making soups and stews, shoveling snow, cleaning...
We have Black Australorps, which lay a LOT of eggs. Don't know about the meat thing since these are our feathered pets and I grieve when one dies...
Major, that is a tutorial on seeds--thank you! I ordered from Seeds n' Such for the first time this year and am happy with the germination rate....
Congratulations on yet another fabulous photo! Please keep your pictures coming--they are so lovely!
Excuse me while I drool! Those Boston butts look great--I think you braving the cold will be worth it. I smoked a chicken last weekend, but I...
Frank is adorable (you choose which Frank I'm referring to). So glad you found the perfect dog, and that he found such a great home!
Oh, you have my deepest sympathy (not sarcastic, just sincere). We lived through years of similar weather, and although those who don't have to...
Vick's Vaporub--my heavens, what child-hater made that! It was bad enough rubbed on your chest when you had a cold, but my mother decided that...
While reading all the replies and reminiscences here, I realized that the parenting we received resulted in great adults! Capable, not afraid of a...
Chilly and overcast this morning, so no outside work. Cleaning house, and tackling organizing the pantry--it has gotten a bit out of hand...
Oh yes! And "good job" meant you did your chores well, and didn't complain about it--not that you managed to walk downstairs without falling!
We watched a program about the Aurora Borealis last night and it was fascinating! We had seen the Northern Lights once when we lived in upstate...
Toni, I started the common geranium ( the pelagornium x hortorum) in three colors--red, coral, and a pinkish white. If I can find seed for the...
We now have three raised beds behind the barn, and the rest of the area is tilled and ready to plant! I managed to get more of the back flowerbed...
