When your seedlings get their second set of leaves, transplant them then. Even if they are close together, you can dampen the soil very well, and...
Song of Joy, bees don't migrate. They do spread, as in the case of the Africanized bees, by breeding and starting new colonies (hives) which means...
Okay Tim, tell us what the last thing you liked was, and we'll work with it. We'll make some suggestions and you can go with what makes you...
Dan, pantyhose make great slings for squashes and pumpkins. If you can't beg, borrow, or steal enough hose, the stretchy mesh bags onions come in...
I don't know what a "trey" ceiling is, but I get the gist of the rest of the room. It is a small room, and a dark carpet will make the space...
Eileen and Jerry, we are eagerly anticipating the migration season. Due to the wildfires here and flooding in other parts, we should get birds...
It occurred to me that I've been whining a lot about the drought here in Texas. In compensation, I'm posting a happy picture of a Yellowlegs...
About water drops on fires--a fire broke out near Stillhouse Hollow Lake (a man-made Corps of Engineers lake used as a reservoir) and the Texas...
Tony, have you seen raccoons in your area? Ripping the ears off and scattering them sounds like a 'coon's action. Preventing them from doing more...
Chance is adorable, but you knew that already! Just give her lots of lovin' while you're home, and get lots of lovin' back (the wet tongue,...
Everyone tells me Feliz is a big cat. She looks just about right to me . . . . We have always had BIG dogs--75 and 90 lbs. so a 12 lb. cat...
Philip, that's a great video, and of course the subject helps a lot. At about 55 seconds, the shot of Oliver looking up soulfully just about made...
That does make for a good photo, Dooley. And as a fellow Texan, I thank you for proving that things do grow bigger here in the Lone Star State....
I hate to admit that I don't subscribe to nor read gardening magazines. I guess the gift subscription I received to one put me off. However, I...
Stratsmom, brilliant minds run in the same vein (or in this case, Venetian slats) :) . I use the slats to mark trays of seedlings; mark where I...
That is one magnificent tree! Twenty-one feet around the trunk--that must qualify for some sort of listing as a "huge Burr Oak". Thank you for...
Sherry, I sympathize with you, and also thank you for your kind thoughts for Texas. I hadn't heard of the Minn. fires. Is there any information...
Never throw away old Venetian blinds! The slats, cut to appropriate lengths, make great plant markers. Granted, they aren't as lovely as Carolyn's...
We have more hummingbirds at the two feeders than we've had in months. I wonder if they are starting migration? Captain, with all the wildlife...
Welcome from central Texas! Muddy paws, what's mud? Just kidding--just because we don't have rain I shouldn't get all envious. I, too would like...
