Captain, those ducks saw your gorgeous place and just stopped to admire! We had two Northern Whistlers perch on the roof of our workshop last...
Your gardening books are spot on. Onions are fairly heavy feeders, so fertilizing is a good idea. They like even moisture, so mulching after they...
Oh well, since we share our home with a resident rat snake under the house and several toads, I guess I can't get upset about ladybugs spending...
Welcome to the forum! We'll help all we can, admire your flowers, and encourage your gardening efforts. This is one very friendly forum, and being...
Every spring ladybugs move into the house. We have them on the window sills, crawling on the floors, and trying to get into the cupboards. It...
Cheryl, no one will tell your boss you are ruled by a pup! (We all have our little furry foibles) Feliz is not pleased by thunder, either. And...
Bluebirds not only are an incredible shade of blue, they have soft orange breasts, making them a very colorful bird. We have bluebird nest boxes...
When the clouds do an "andiron" effect, flat on the bottom and puffy at the top, and a little tail comes down, as you can see between the first...

They are cute, and I hope I didn't offend you Denny's Baby. I just thought that the estimated cost was a bit much. I don't think we paid that much...
$$$One hundred and fifty-seven dollars$$$! Those bird houses are for more elegant birds than we have around here! We have $2.50 birds that live in...
Annette, epsom salts allow the plant to take up certain trace elements necessary for its health. Magnesium, I think but I'm not sure. The...

Some of the wildlife moves on to smaller and smaller habitats that are left, and some adjust to humans. We have raccoons, coyotes, opossums,...
I am on one other gardening forum--in fact, I help moderate it. Both are invaluable to me, although I find this forum to have more of a "family"...
Gardening is in his genes! With you as a grandma, how can the boy fail? Of course he'll get his badge, and probably a commendation from the Boy...
We Texans are great connoisseurs of rain barrels, and that is one fine rain barrel! As Cheryl said, you will love it, as will your vegetables....
