Carolyn, the striped ones are the Striata, and the green ovals are Coosa, both summer squashes. Striata tastes different from regular zucchini,...
Those are large tomatoes, and it looks as if they are beginning to ripen! Envy, envy, envy . . . . Our tomatoes are setting fruit, and we have...
I picked three zucchini, three coosa, and three Striata d'Italia squash this morning. Even though the garden was muddy I knew that if I didn't get...
Malibu is just beautiful, Mrs. G! I have the feeling that most of us Stewies nurture plants AND animals. At least, we all seem to have something...
Toni, glad to hear you got beneficial rain but no damage. I feel for the folks in Granbury--a subdivision in south Granbury was hit hard. They are...
Coppice, may I suggest that you put flames coming out of the skulls' mouths? My daddy used to have cider vinegar with little red peppers in it,...
Great garden! You certainly will have plenty of berries with those blackberry and the blueberry plants. Your rose may be "Perfect Moment". I'm...
Cheryl, your roadsides are obviously better than our roadsides! I ditto Eileen's remark, and I'm green with envy. Those are very good looking...
Leave them as long as there is no sign of disease. If they are truly crushed (mashed beyond recognition and wet and gooey) you may get a fungus...
Yes! Lovely, living proof that everything is bigger in Texas! What a lovely flower, and what a nice association with a fellow Stewbie with a...
Ohhhh, I love baby elephants--so cute, so enthused about life! We were privileged to meet Tambo, a full-grown elephant at the Waco zoo, and found...
Will do! The things one is introduce to here on the Stew is amazing, not to mention entertaining!
Toni, how do you know these things?
Donna, I bet that blimp took a detour so it could see your garden! Even fish admire a nice plot of well-planted and tended land! We used to see...
When the flowers fall and there is a seed pod left behind, let it ripen. Collect the seeds and plant them. The new yucca-lets will come up when...
Sojerd is right--it is a type of yucca, also known as "candle of the desert" and locally as the "ouch" plant. If it flowers, it will propagate...
Another welcome from Texas--central Texas this time. We do love photos, not only of gardens but of pets, family, friends, and almost anything else...
Definitely better than rusting junk all over a field! That is a very cute "garden bug". We are "pushy" outsiders (been in Texas for 17 years)...
What a nice thought, Mrs. G! A happy Mother's Day to you, too. I think we are all mothers in some way. At least my hens and the cat think I'm...
What a wonderful, memorable day for the family! The cakes are lovely--I think I gained a pound or two just looking at the photos.
