Rough and tough, and darned smart, too!
Ice cube?
That's pretty accurate, Ronni, and it provides for succession bloom for a longer forage for the bees. Of course, the herbs pictured have to be let...
Chrisle, here in Texas we can tell what month it is by what bug is invading. There is cricket month, ladybug month, grasshopper months and months,...
Mart, we have tarps in the barn left over from when we moved here and had to cover equipment until we got the shed cleared out. Great idea! We...
Yeah, you don't mess with a Texan's caterpillars!
PDM, spray when the first set of true leaves appear. When you repot into larger containers, spray again, just as a prevention. Water when the...
