Oh, what a nice Mothering Day gift! That nursery sure knows how to treat customers well. Your hyacinths will thrive and bloom for you next...
Lovely! After the winter you just endured, you and the "hungry dude" deserve all the best spring can offer.
You will have a great garden there! By all means use the fence, either as a trellis for things like cucumbers and pole beans, or for hanging...
Jerry, I am sure you and Captain understand what you said. It's Greek to many of us less mechanically inclined. "Starting relay, solenoid"? If I...
Captain, I do hope your lawn tractor is up and running soon, with no more difficulties. We have an extra rat snake in the barn and I'll ship...
Eileen, the scent is very light, but also very pleasant. Toni, if it weren't for barbed wire, I'd have to take an emergency trip to Wal-Mart to...
That wind! I put laundry on the line and ended up fetching our "drawers" out of the field. I either need stronger clothes pins or a sheltered...
I snuck out yesterday afternoon, hoping the god of winds wouldn't see me, and got some more rose photos before the wind came up and all my...
Judging when to go from 3" to 5" pots is a matter of "guess and by golly" for me. When the plant looks big enough to be up-potted, I do it. By the...
Tomatoes I up-pot twice--first to a 3" pot and then to 5" or larger, depending on the variety (the Sungolds grow fast, so I go from a 3" to a...
It looks like a white Wisteria to me. If so, it is a vine that is easily trained into tree form, as yours is. It won't get much bigger (taller)...
Oh, I wish we had an owl! Screech owls are one of the best, right up there with barn owls! How lucky you are Captain--probably because of all...
At first I couldn't figure out what was supposed to be funny, then the action started! Thanks for sharing this with us. Did you notice that...
I agree with Frank, although I think you could also enlarge the photo and frame it--artwork! Such an interesting growth form. Good for you for...
Hey Captain, I'll take any extra rain you have! We got a bit this morning, but not enough to wet a worm's belly. I hope you do dry out and can...
That's a great video! We have herons visit our pond, but we never are able to get that close to them. Thank you for sharing, and I'm also...
Toni, the same storm system hit us about 7:30 this morning with strong winds, a 20 degree drop in temperature, and some rain. We didn't get as...
This weekend we actually had to deadhead roses! Our roses are blooming their heads off, and will until July when the heat gets them and they shut...
About those squirrels--I have had luck shooing squirrels away from vegetable and flower beds by using dog fur. Find a furry dog, take a fistful...
Dooley, it seems ALL your mornings are busy! I do hope you can post some photos--I'm getting a headache trying to imagine all the planting,...
