Dawg mentioned a heating and air company in his state that he was looking into. A central vacuum system would be great, but I think he's working...
KK, so sorry the tomato plant didn't make it, but at least you have learned a lot about tomato growing in the process. The cracked stem could be...
As you know, here in Texas we have a severe drought. In addition, the grasshoppers were especially bad this year and ate everything in sight. I...
Oh, those are great rocks! The strawberries are wonderful--how did you ever find that many rocks of the right size and shape? You must be some...
Hello, and welcome to the forum! Retired, what's that? I retired and we moved to a small farm in Central Texas. My husband still works, mainly so...
OH, gosh, I should have mentioned that we don't use the louvered doors on the bathrooms! :oops:
When companies give out names for references, they are not the unhappy customers that you'll talk to! Try Angie's List. No one there has an ax to...
Like Toni, we are in Texas in a house built in the late 1970's. As we replace doors (hollow core, ghastly fake something-wood) we are using...
Old Christmas ornaments are highly collectible, even ones that show they've been on a few trees. Have you thought of contacting an antique dealer...
Well, happy anniversary! It's a happy occasion for you, but for all of us here--your posts are delightful, and your photos are great!
Another welcome from warm and buggy Texas! Gardening in our climates can be very rewarding, after the gardener stops pulling his/her hair out in...
Lukey, I've never let a coleus make a flower spike, since the foliage is the big attraction. Some of a plant's energy goes into making flowers and...
Kathy, butterfly (swallowtail) caterpillars will eat fennel down to the ground. I had three different growths of fronds one year--the first two...
Fennel freezes better than it dries. I freeze the fronds on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. The seeds dry and store well....
Terriers were bred to dig and get prey (rabbits, moles, etc) so the digging part is purely natural. I agree with Carolyn--get something nasty...
Oh, that is good! :lol: :-P :-P
Lukey, the bronze fennel isn't as strong a grower as the green. It doesn't get too tall (about 2' here in Texas) and needs just a bit more shade...
There are lots of restrictions on sending plant material out of Texas--fire ants, certain soil borne diseases, etc. For the same reason, citrus...
That horse has afterburners! Amazing--the jockey should be congratulated, also.
Carolyn, If you roast a chicken, stuff it with several fennel fronds and a small onion halved. The infusion of flavor is wonderful! Also, I like...
