Sjoerd, it is a heavy cropper. It sets on several squash, and as they grow, it keeps on blooming and setting on more. I had to introduce it at...
We picked three Coosa squash this morning, and one is destined for the dinner table tonight. Coosas are a Lebanese squash with a meaty texture,...
I'm so glad you all are enjoying our roses! Yes, Kiasmum, all are fragrant to some extent. The Rise 'n' Shine is the least fragrant, but one...
The critters nibbling on the buds were probably thrips. They can infest a rose and eat into the buds, preventing any kind of nice bloom. If you...
What a charming clematis! Perhaps it was trying to make you happy after the hail.
This is a tour of our rose garden. Not every rose blooms at the same time, so we enjoy each as it blossoms. [img] Lady Hillingdon rose ( photo...
All that, in just one week? Amazing! It also looks very good. Let us have photos when you get the area re-planted, please.
Toni, those are fine looking potatoes! They will taste even better than they look, I'd bet.
So happy you avoided any tornadoes, and even happier that you take them seriously. We had a neighbor who once put his two 9 year old daughters in...

Oh Carolyn, I am so sorry you had such destruction. Please don't stress yourself trying to recover. It will get done, but not if you are...
Toni, if there is a die cast plant near you, they get the biodegradeable soap cleaner for their tanks in the 250 cubes. They also have to pay to...
Jerry, rain harvesting is the only way we can maintain our large gardens without going broke buying municipal water. We have three 250 gal....
That was some storm, wasn't it Dooley? We got 3.7" between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. It was badly needed, but I won't be in the garden for a couple of...
Wish I could send all of you a dewberry tart! We got 3/7" of rain yesterday and last night, so no picking for a couple of days. When we pick next...
I made a dozen dewberry tarts today. I had planned on making more, but the humidity was playing havoc with my dough! Somehow, when the tarts were...
What a wonderful visit with your son and daughter-in-law. You all had so much to catch up on! Get a good night's rest, and who says you can't nap...
