I sure can tell that most here care about me and each other. On my phone right now at acupuncture office. Ill catch up on my laptop this evening

Miss google assistant says the high will be 60 with a low of 41(above). She also tells me cumulonimbus clouds are her favorite, and it will be partly cloudy with them. I ask her how's the weather in twin bridges, and she tells me it's a bone chilling minus 9 degrees and windy, making it feel...

It decided to rainshower lightly today. So I went to get the mail in my tshirt...ohhhhh, cold montana type raindrops made me come right back in.

Several vulgaris varieties i'm working on stabilizing have black seeds and purple pods. These are from what I guess one or more of the ringwoods crossed with Cherokee trail of tears. Been sorting these a few years now. Some of the plants didn't seem to know what they'd be. those got selected...

Yesterday was a pretty day. I put out the Sluggo anti snail stuff. Miss Google Assistant tells me today will be another nice day onve the fog burns off.

Pretty sure tarahumara purple star is in process of adapting to temperate latitudes. there will be some accessions more adapted, others less adapted. I was one or 2 plant selecting, and they would behave as long season producers. Got my original seed from native seed search early 2008

My Acupuncturist has me taking TCM's, traditional chinese medicines in the form of concentrated tablets, organic, no fillers or additives. These are mostly herbs and fungus, but they also include bone, and yes fossil ingredients. The type is called Meridians. The names are like yao xiang. My...

Daylight sensitive varieties... Now think about it awhile. These are varieties that retain their older adaption to growing in the tropics. That means between those latitude lines called the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn. That is, the equatorial regions. It's generally warm to...

Something like that's probably a good idea. It sure surprised, even shocked a lot of people when I enlisted in the army before the vietnam war was officially ended. While in, I was one of the ardent left wingers. I knew a feller from "lower Alabama" he called the real LA, and he used to talk...

I like Digit's honest answer. It arrives with a friendly savor. I don't like flowerbug's questionable answer with an unreferenced affirmative and an allusion to an, um, melting. That's my natural response. I do recall the days of 1968. I painted my 1961 comet with flowers, and they never um...

Is it possible to change my member name from being my real actual name to a really cool fictional name like most everybody else? I want to change it to PROUD SNOWFLAKE

Howdy Mary, I went to Friedman's hardware today, the Santa Rosa store about a mile south of where I live. Short of a picture, this is a description of the fertilizer I bought today. A box truly the size of corn flakes cereal. Net wt. 5 pounds, sort of heavy for its size. It's called Bio-Live...

As everyone says, nope, they won't cross. But, there are peas that have traits that seem like crosses. They assuredly aren't though. Some of the snap or snow peas have flowers pretty, very pretty. "Golden Sweet" for example. Even lightly aromatic. And years ago I grew a field type pea that had...

I get it. But importantly, my growing collection of blankets allows me to now have a full 4 inches thick worth of blankets over my neuropathically frozen feet. On the positive side of things, when i went to walmart to get some kerr jars for my beans, i noted how 1 very intelligent person parked...

Well, I hope they have it this year, and have not discontinued them.

Hi Mary. I get it at Friedman's hardware, the one in santa rosa. Petaluma, Sonoma, and ukiah have friedman's too. shoot, can't remember the brand name, but it comes in different kinds, one for roses, one for rhododendrons, an all purpose one, and one that's all microbial, etcetera. For my beans...

You guys! Varmint wars. Waaalll...I kill cockroaches on sight. Ya gotta pop their heads. They aren't dead until you hear that pop sound.

Vegetables that produce much, and early can beat the bugs and diseases, especially if they are vigorous. That new "Bragger Hybrid" Slicer Cucumber, which I've not yet tried, looks like a good one. Supposed to be so productive you can give the plants tons of room, which cuts back on bugs and...

Marie, keep posting pictures of sky. I'm forgetting what sky looks like.
