For those of you in the USA, the Great Backyard Bird Count starts on Feb. 18. Birdwatchers from all over the nation report sightings, and...
Toni, you have robins? We haven't seen even one yet! Put up with the noise, or send him to us--we can stand a few more chirps. We have a...
We feed our bees during the winter on sugar water in a feeder made for that purpose. Bee sugar water should be a 1 to 1 ratio, and put it in a...
Just when you think you've got them trained--my hens have been laying in the nest boxes for months. Today I found an egg in the outside coop....
I'd like to add my wishes for all Stewies to have a very happy Valentine's Day! Remember, your garden loves you :stew1: !
Using old mailboxes as a receptacle for gloves and tools is a brilliant idea! I am forever having to trek to the barn for my bypass pruners or...
I contacted a friend in East Texas who grows raspberries, and this is what she told me: After a cane bears fruit, cut it to the ground. In spring...
You painted those? Wow! Your mailboxes are beautiful, almost too lovely to leave outside. Your fan-blade flowers are great, too. Thanks for...
Our vegetable gardens are all prepared (compost tossed on, raked over and rows marked) so today we are planting lettuces, chard, spinach, and...

Bunkie, it's heartening to hear that lovage is so tough. I'll try to put it in at least two places, perhaps three, to assure that some survives...
For someone as active as you this must be pure Hades! So sorry it happened and that you didn't get to enjoy your vacation. As we say here in...
Amazing photo! You either have a real eye for nature (my bet) or those deer just show up to pose for you. Glad they aren't damaging, just...
That's a great question, and one that's really hard to answer. Generally, my favorite is whatever is in bloom and in front of me! If I could...
I love to see new members joining this forum. We have such a nice group here, and seeing it grow (pun intended) is so great. However, please let...
I have read that extreme cold has a detrimental effect on mental powers. :wink:
Toni, as always, is right. The pelleted seed doesn't save from one year to another, so use it up or give some away this year. I'm not sure where...
Wonderful bit of spring greenery there, Tina. Thank you for sharing! We had forsythia when we lived in upstate NY and I always cut a few...
