we've not been doing anything fancy recently. the past few days Mom's made some cheesy potatoes using a recipe from a SIL but i'm pretty sure there are plenty of recipes out there already and it's only a few ingredients. i just had some for dinner with some tomatoes and macaroni underneath.

yes, i find the time-out to be really silly because if something changes and you want to go back and fix it you can't. :( which means if you really care about it you'd have to contact someone else for help when it could just be something you take care of yourself... it doesn't make sense to...

if you send a polite note describing the change you'd like to see to @Support, @TEG Project Manager, or @Nifty and are patient you may get some help. :) so far i've not had bad experiences here on TEG or SS with getting help.

Blooming Prairie does look like one of the Robert Lobitz beans that I've grown here. yes, a pretty bean. nice plump ones he can grow. :) i've tried to get ahold of a grow all of the RL purple beans that look like BP (sourced from @Blue-Jay). i'm not sure if i've missed any. i've done my...

i hope you don't mind that i've replied to this post from the bean thread here, but it really is OT for there and i can go at length here. similar to me in that i did not have too much trouble with school but i often found certain topics a struggle (until later when i matured a bit more and...

wow, hope you can both get through these things now! i don't want to sidetrack this thread any more than i have already but i did read what you wrote. i could write many pages in response but i should do it in my own thread that i've already got going and let the bean thread get back to...

please make sure to read label before using in gardens. i'm pretty sure that something like this may screw up plantings of certain kinds (like direct sowing of beans into the ground) and may also cause other issues.

?! ...are you in danger of chewing on yourself? j/k... :) :) :)

while i generally don't like to post links to other things or videos or music that often once in a while something positive or different is appreciated so here is one for me to end the month. the month with earth day in it too. :) and yes i do support this project with some $ once in a while...

there is so much wrong with that whole video...

if you are in a more fire prone area keeping it cut shorter during the dry season may be important. here i don't ever water the lawn itself on purpose, but i do use a part of the lawn to rinse out buckets or garden tools that have too much mud stuck on them. this means that during the dry...

... different varieties/types of garlic are going to be different... the garlic i grow here doesn't care at all about how cold it gets and it will grow even if i leave it sitting here in my room (which doesn't usually get below 55F at all) right now i have several hundred bulbules sprouting...

let the ground get warm enough and the beans sprout before mulching...

i don't have time at the moment to pull that up, but the scarf around the neck kinda gives it away doesn't it? or at least i'm guessing... will have to check it out later.

this morning one of my tasks was to get four large bags of chocolate cookies (animal crackers) ground up into crumbs so Mom could turn them into crusts for some baked goodies she's making today. we'll put the crumbs she doesn't use up today into well sealed jars for the next time she wants to...
