I bought my seed potatoes today, Jan. 30 at the feed store. I won't be planting them until after Valentine's Day. My question is--shall I keep...
How about "Junquing and Finds" for a topic on the new website Frank is building? Toni, you could "enable" a whole new batch of ladies!
KK, I wish you a very happy New Year, and second the wishes for a bountiful garden, enjoyment of your new home, and many happy hours in the coming...
Toni, perhaps your Christmas cacti knew you'd need a lift of spirits in January, and put off blooming! Simply lovely, and so welcome at this...
Donna, you have my sympathies. I, too, have been attacked by a chicken. He was not frozen, nor even slightly chilled. Cyrus was his name (notice...
Cheryl, it's best to plant garlic in the fall. Here in central Texas we put it in the ground in October, and harvest in June. Onion sets should...
Hank, you should go on the road with a comedy routine--just telling your jokes with a straight face (if that's possible!). Thank you for a good...
Happy Birthday! Hope you have many more, and each one is better than the last.
CariAnn, talk to Cheryl, who recently walked right past a bulb display and didn't even look! Yes, the girl is amazing . . . . Personally, I...
Your pictures give me hope! Right now all our vegetables are just starts, in little cells under the grow lights. We plant garlic in the fall,...
My husband picked this up from a lady in El Paso (not Texas, but Wisconsin). It seems to fit much of the Midwest and upper East Coast. Insert your...
:'( I do hope the flight is reinstated, and that you get to Ca. without difficulties. As you said, it's better to be stranded at home than at an...
Donna, most cuttings are taken when the plant is starting growth (nutrients moving up, leaves beginning to photosynthesize) or at the very end of...
All of your ideas, Frank, and the suggestions made by members are really good. May I suggest "pets" and also perhaps "tips for easy living". The...
Usually the larger leaves, like maple and some oaks, break down slower. If you can run a lawn mower over them (especially if your mower has a bag)...
Mart's post reminded me of another source of goodies for the soil--rabbit poop! If you can find someone who raises rabbits you can put their...
Toni, if that were any cuter, I couldn't stand it!
Definitely neither peat nor sphagnum moss! Both are difficult to hydrate, and once wet, tend to compact. Compost is much better, especially if...
Donna, skip the high-dollar caraway thyme. Carolyn is right--a 3" pot is a starter pot, not something that is ready to go into the ground.
You are some great sausage/bacon maker, KK! I envy you being able to order things from the butcher. Here we take what's on offer at the grocery....
