FBG, I think if we research philosphers, we would find that most, if not all, were gardeners. I still am rooting out weeds/bad habits and making...
KK, I hope you realize I was trying to be funny (often a failed attempt on my part) and wasn't really castigating you for asking about mashing the...
KK Ng, NO,NO,NO! One does not mash these potatoes. One steams them lightly, gives them a swath of butter and a dusting of sea salt, and has a...
Sjoerd, if it weren't for the exorbitant shipping costs, I'd send you a few pounds of potatoes! Ours were frost nipped last year, and we had a...
[img] May 10 potato harvest, 2014 ( photo / image / picture from marlingardener's Garden ) We have roughly 30 pounds of Red LaSoda potatoes,...
It's time to stop dibbling and actually dig our potatoes! We are hoping for a good harvest, but won't know until we get them above ground. If...
Well FBG, at least your weather forecaster didn't tell you "You never know when it will rain" as ours did one evening. Of course, he was the same...
Now THAT'S a shopping trip! So glad you found what you wanted, needed, and just had-to-have. Is you sister-in-law as much of an enabler as Toni?...
And I bet the bees are grateful for anything flowering, too! We keep bees, and it's amazing how much pollen they can stuff in their leg pouches,...
Others with experience growing tomatoes in containers may tell you differently (so listen to them!) but from my experiences in transplanting...
To all you ladies who were brave enough to have and raise children, Happy Mother's Day!
Ronni, I have no idea what your neighbor's rose is, but it sure is pretty! Here is Dark Lady: [img] David Austin's Dark Lady rose ( photo /...
Welcome to the Stew! Feel free to join in on discussions, ask questions, and post pictures (we love pictures).
Well gee, Toni, if you aren't willing to go all the way for a rain chant, the liklihood of getting a nice downpour is slim. :roll: Personally,...
For scent and hardiness, I'd recommend Dark Lady (an Austin rose) which is deep red; Nacadoches which is bright yellow and smells heavenly; soft...
Donna, great photos! We have bluebirds, but aren't sure if they are nesting or not. How did you ever sneak up and get such a great picture? No...
Ronni, Grab a cup of coffee and don't make plans for this morning--I LOVE to talk roses! "Regular" roses that Paige wants are most likely hybrid...
Oh yeah, been there and done that, but it was a birthday, not an anniversary date. My sister has not yet forgiven me . . . .
Happy Anniversary, Cheryl and hubby! And for all of us on the Stew it's a happy anniversary of you joining. This place wouldn't be nearly as much...
Mart is absolutely right--some composted cow,sheep, or horse manure could help your tomatoes. The nice thing about composted manures is that the...
