Something like this showing up in your mailbox?

They have begun to arrive in the mailbox :). I can spend a lot of time in this lazyboy, at that table, stretched out in the other bed –– looking through the paper catalogs. HPS is always the first but they cheat a little by having a 2025-26 catalog. For supplies, I may order from them but with...

Good Morning! Welcome to the Coffee Corner.

I often have a microwaved store-bought apple, chopped. Often, it's Honeycrisp since that's DW's favorite. Thinking about that for a 2nd breakfast, inspired by @Phaedra , I thought, well, I could put some raisins in it. Wine • Raisins – they're both from grapes 🍇! Having a slice of rhubarb...

"Snow" has occurred several times in our forecasts, always for the early morning times when a rainshower is moving on. Hasn't happened. The precipitation isn't even piling up snow at the nearest Snotel at elevation 4700 feet.I continue to think that this might be okay because of dry soil...

Using the word "beautifully" in the same sentence with celeriac has a touch of humor, @Decoy1 :). Long season crop — patience is a virtue ... as is early care, especially. Regular 1204 inserts for the flats, @flowerbug . I see that the supply outfits are beginning to call those compact...

Seed. I have never seen them as starts in the garden centers.

This is so sweet ... last night on The Late Show. Mavis is 86. She was with the Staple Singers years ago with her sisters and sometimes her father. (Change the volume just as she finishes the song. The crowd cheering nearly knocked me outta my chair :D.)

Because it was always fresh food that was in the paintings, @Dahlia ? The enthusiasm for a new crop must have always been a part of life. We are having lots of persimmons right now ;). I wonder how common at home wine-making was during those years. I do have a theory about wine making...

I thought to post a LINK to this thread about growing celeriac. There is no secret to growing them that I know of except that they take a very full season. That means that the sprouting of seed indoors begins very early, like 8 weeks before last frost. Yes, they can take some chilly weather...

Up at 3 AM, I fell asleep in the lazyboy after breakfast. Entering a clinic waiting room, I see a nurse directing a naked man out of the exam rooms hallway to a seat. The lady at the other end of the row of chairs looks uncomfortable. I sat near the front row of seats. Big Bird and Mr...

How much more personally vital to life and how much more diverse could a world of food be?
