The last best thing we can do for our beloved pets is to know when to let them go. I'm so sorry you lost Taz, but she had a great life, good...
February is the best month to arrive back home--things are beginning to grow, you can get outdoors and enjoy our Texas air, and everyone here on...
I can only comment on what works for us. We use shop lights, suspended about 3" above the seedlings (the lights are raised as the seedlings grow,...
Thank you for the warning! We are going to re-do our two bathrooms, and I wanted shower doors rather than shower curtains. I'll be sure to use a...
Hello, and a warm welcome from Central Texas! We are on a small farm (love your avatar since we keep chickens, actually feathered pets who lay...
Okra isn't "cold tolerant" because it is a crop that needs warmth. However, the shorter growing period is designed for cooler/shorter growing...

I only have a four shelf set-up in the guest bedroom with tomato, pepper, and herb plants started yesterday. I think I really, really need one of...
The cat can't see me. Oh, golly, let the cat NOT see me!
