Welcome from Texas! This is a very friendly site with lots of good gardeners with excellent advice. We also love pictures of gardens, pets, scenery!
:setc_005: Way to go,Dooley! A ripe tomato--it may be red, but I'm green with envy. Your garden is thriving, despite somewhat adverse weather. You...
That is good news! Enjoy your weekend, knowing that everything "in there" is working as it should.
Frank, The Stew is worth the wait! Thanks for getting on top of the problem.
Well, you can always do a little finger-digging around the stem of the plant. You'll uncover some potatoes, and be able to judge from the size if...
I was at the beauty salon today, getting my hair cut, when it started to rain. One lady who had just had a shampoo and set was ready to leave. The...

Fiddleheads are the emerging fronds of the Ostrich fern, and they are delicious! KK, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them. Eaten raw, they...

Until now, I honestly thought that Texas had cornered the market on dumb. *Texas had a legislator who introduced a bill to allow the blind to...
