Impressive, Sjoerd! I grew up by the Mississippi River. When I was a boy, the river would freeze over during the winter, so we went ice skating...
Have you done that before @Zigs? I did these in March. Watered them faithfully all summer long. i'm guessing they will produce in the Spring...
@Sjoerd, I tried to revive some family traditions when I bought this property. I do have Sempervivum from my dad and his mom, and garlic chives...
That looks like a perfect cookie cookbook. I bought a Betty Crocker version but can't find it now. I tried making some spritz cookies but the...
My My Egyptian Walking Onion colony is about 22 years old now. My grandmother's sister grew them in the 1950s and 60s. They are fun, and we...
I looked at rope and clothesline at several stores - they were all plastic. So I went onto Amazon and ordered all-cotton rope. I'd rather see it...
What looks like a nose on the lower right is an ear. What looks like an ear on top is the nose and mouth. Doggie's head is twisted and looking...
My willow hedge was just sticks, pushed into the ground, in March. They all grew. I've also had Asian plum, figs, and forsythia do that. Roses,...
Planted 2 rows of Egyptian Walking Onions. I had dug them out of their prior location and left them sitting on the ground. I noticed they are...
Beautiful scenes!
Took a break :sleeping:
Congrats @Melody Mc. ! :setf_016::setc_005:A well deserved choice!
Very nice! Our house doesn't get much. The porch light is programmable LED - white most of the time, changing colors now. It's nice to see what...
Here it's a little above freezing. Tuesday I saved coffee grounds from the clinic (one of my jobs there is to make the coffee) so I spread them...
Thanks @Zigs for sharing your experience! I think that answers my question. The compost video might be interesting, but you probably told me what...
@Melody Mc. most of the peppers were the variety "Thai Dragon". It seems appropriate - very hot! When I enlisted in the Army in 1974, they sent...
I agree. Plus, unlike commercial composts, they are unlikely to contain any herbicides or antibiotics. Steer manures probably contain both, and...
Those sound good @Melody Mc. ! I make tomato sauce, using the reduced sauce tomatoes that I freeze. Those have been cooked down to 1/2 of their...
After the Thai peppers ripened, and there were still some Cayennes, I made a small batch of Tabasco-like sauce. This was the same as the other,...
Some of it now is I had promised the tree owners I would haul away their leaves. So I don't want to back out now. I don't need more now, but if...
