You tell the male from the female by the berries, which means you have to buy semi-mature plants. The holly in the arrangement probably won't...
Hank, that's it--just the two ingredients. I keep a bit in the fridge for using and a lot in the freezer for later. We've made a big dent in our...
The answer to your fig question depends greatly on where you are. Here in Texas we let our fig trees alone in winter, and do some early spring...
And the same wish to y'all from Texas! May your holidays be bright, and your gardens fruitful in the coming year.
Dooley, Beautiful stollens! I bet they taste even better than they look. I love the green/red decorations.
Taking a broken stem and bring it back to life is exciting, isn't it? That will be a special plant for you for years. If you want specific...
Dooley, you should be awarded a chef's apron! I can attest to the deliciousness of the stollen, and I bet the other goodies are just as tasty....
Those mosaics are lovely! I especially love the off-center perspective you give them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, and may you fill...

Frank, you have a doppelganger--Dooley's gnome! Toni, you took the words right out of my mouth (or off my keyboard.)
Love your caption, Toni!
Jerry, you may want to start thinking about what capacity silo you are going to need.
Carolyn, I had a feeling that that cat would become a permanent resident. He just didn't look like he wanted to move now that he had found a good...
Perhaps next year Eli will eat more of his cake and wear less of it! What cute pictures, and what an adorable little boy. Enjoy your holidays...
Okay Toni, that definitely sounds like a fruitcake that can be eaten, not tossed! Cheryl, post your mom's recipe, please, so we can look forward...
It is nothing compared to pileated woodpeckers and trumpeter swans, but we had two ducks on our little pond this week. This is amazing, because...
We have some ashe junipers (cedars) that are brown. I scratched the bark and found green, so we are hoping that they drop their dead needles and...
Thanks to Dooley, our fruitcake is not going to be composted, but rather we are going to fling it across our pond! My husband the engineer has...
