I moved into this house in May 2006, and last year the neighbor's complained to the city twice because of my lawn. (Welcome to the neighborhood!)...
Last year was my first year growing tomatoes. Since I don't care much for raw tomatoes, I only grew the paste varieties. I didn't have much luck...
I have a sour cherry tree in my back yard. It puts out healthy cherries, but last year I noticed it was leaking a lot of resin, from both the...
Okay, don't laugh at me, but what about those pomato/totato plants, where the upper half is tomatoes and the roots develop potatoes? I've actually...
