I only got up twice during the night to check on the little fluff balls (I have a LOT of self-control). They are peeping now so it's breakfast...
Judy, I'm not sure, but I think not. Leaves provide nutrients, and without leaves, the cutting may not get enough nutrients to set roots. Is is...
We went to the poultry supplier and picked up our chicks today. They are now ensconced in our guest bedroom in their "beginner's coop" with...
Those are lovely! Planting them where you can enjoy the sight and scent of the roses is a great idea.
Cheryl, no deer is going to believe your scarecrow lady--too well dressed. I'll send you a pair of my tattered shorts and a ragged tee shirt. That...
We planted Honey and Cream, directly in the soil. Corn has an extensive root system, and doesn't transplant easily. I've seen transplants at...
Welcome back! I've tried several gardening forums and have found this to be the friendliest and most informative. Hope you enjoy your return!
While I was deadheading flowers today, the Sound of Music song "My Favorite Things" kept running through my mind. I was thinking of some of my...

Cheryl honey, I have an abundance of seeds I will send you, under the guise of being 4 o'clock seeds! Considering what your flower beds look like,...
My heavens, that was quite a surprise! However, I must congratulate you on having the snake taken outdoors, rather than killing it. You're a good...
Aren't you glad you were patient and let the white crepe myrtle develop at its own pace! That is a lovely little shrub.
Jerry, yes, succession planting is definitely in the plan for next year's garden. I did a small block just to see what would happen this year....
My mama was like that. The flower or shrub was supposed to grow where she wanted it to be, not where it wanted to be! I tried and tried to explain...
