I had a message this morning from Cjay. She couldn't find the thread about sending her good wishes. She is going to see it because I sent her the...
You shouldn't be surprised, Frank. As soon as I saw your caption, I knew it was a winner! Congratulations!
Today we had six robins in our backyard flowerbed--six! Last year we had no robins, nary a one. We are taking this to be a sign of spring coming,...
Mart, I think you invented "mesclun"!
We have sunshine again today! The temperature's hovering around 53 degrees, but perhaps later it will warm up and the wind will die down. I'm...

We direct seed zinnias in our flower beds. Of course, we are in zone 8, and our soil warms up sufficiently by March that we can plant. Cal. Giants...
Good day to you all! I finally found some beef bones for broth, so I have the beginnings of minestrone soup--bones roasting in the oven. While...
