Netty, doesn't it feel wonderful to have dirt under your nails, wind in your hair, and an aching back? It's rainy today, but I managed to get the...
Happy belated birthday! So glad you are with us on the Stew.
I love antique pottery! It is hand-thrown and most of it is from upstate NY with the Albany slip glaze. A few of my favorite pieces:[ATTACH]...
You can't keep a good man down! Loved the video, and love that man's spirit. Thanks for posting it, Sjoerd.
Our first hummingbird of the spring showed up yesterday! It fed on the salvia greggii, but I put out one of our feeders as insurance. Sure enough,...
Good morning! I'm not nearly as ambitious as Netty--her list of garden work sounds more like a week of puttering about for me, but she is a real...

Welcome to the forum from a small nine acre farm in Central Texas. We are retired, too. So, how is that working out for you? We have found we are...
Cayuga, I see some kind soul filled the bird feeder! Our birds are hitting the feeders and suet cakes heavily--even with "natural" food available.
Happy Wednesday to y'all! I went to our local grocery and found everything on my list (flour!!!), plus a 71/4 lb. pork tenderloin on sale. We now...

Welcome to the Stew from a central Texas gardener, formerly from upstate NY. We have both vegetables and flowers, and enjoy both. Ask your wife to...
Good morning from foggy, foggy Texas! It's warm, but so wet out and foggy that the cats are in their shelter and the hens didn't care to go into...
Sally Lunn bread is the southern cook's pride and joy. It is a dense but not chewy bread that lends itself especially well to ham dinners. I make...
Stumped, we love questions, simple or not! That is what we do--ask and answer and exchange ideas. I do hope you can get rid of that pesky weed.
That looks like a sapling of a tree. When we have hackberry trees come up, we dig down about three inches, cut off the stem, and then spray it...
For those of you who do not have cats, I offer Buddy and Cali for a virtual cuddle. We cuddle in real time, and have the fur-shirts to prove it...
Cayuga, I'd love to share some of our shrimp with you! Tonight it's baked ham with roasted apple slices, Sally Lunn bread, and sugar peas from the...
Oh my, I hadn't thought of pet food. I"ll pick up some smaller bags Monday and drop them off at the pantry. Thank you for the idea/reminder!
