This must have been a high end one I guess. It's now got two blooms on it and that will be the third total since it started. When he gave it to me I set it on my desk and forgot about it, and it burst out of the box unplanted! I decided if it wanted to grow so bad I'd pot it up, and it has been...

Happy birthday @ducks4you

So my husband got me a cute little amarylis kit. It comes with a bulb, a pot, and the soil. I planted it following instructions, and as promised it grew into a HUGE and beautiful flower. It has produced two flowers so far. It also appears to be growing a baby somehow. There's a tiny baby...

That's really great! It's probably a relief to him to know clearly and definitely that "This" (what ever you click for) is what you want. We humans can be terribly sloppy about showing wanted behaviors. :) It's really helped me too.

I'm going to do the whole season in the greenhouse this year. I just want to see what happens. :) I'm really happy with it so far. It's a pleasant place to take the kids and look at things for a while. Pics finally showed up on my computer, so I added them!

I agree it's probably fungus gnats. One part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water sprayed on the soil kills the larva and doesn't harm the plant.

I'm taking full advantage of the wonderful greenhouse my husband got me a few years ago, and growing a garden over the winter. My big garden is resting with calcium and other amendments my husband tilled in this year, so I won't be out there trying to chip holes in the surface in January. I...

That's great! :) I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

Actually, the book specifically mentions this. There's instructions on how to teach a dog how to play ball, and how to turn 'sniffing' into a reward you can use. As far as treats, the book mentions the same thing. It was very interesting. So far the advice has gotten my dog's attention 110%...

I'm currently reading a book called, "When Pigs Fly! Training Success with Impossible Dogs." The book is specifically geared towards training dogs who have been bred for independent thinking. Terriers, Basenjis, Akitas, basically any dog who isn't panting at your feet begging you to give them...

Happy Thanksgiving. :) After so many bummer years, this one was pretty good. My daughter decided to walk more than 1-2 steps for the first time today. My MIL hosted a wonderful dinner, and didn't mind when we snuck off for a bit to explore her woods/climb in her treehouse, and do all the things...

It's possible. Bacteria in our gut actually have a lot to do with mood, weight, and of course immunity. A study done in mice found that if you take lines of mice bred to be aggressive/passive, remove the bacteria from their digestive tract, and replace it with bacteria from the opposite line...

OMG, you can't leave the story just like that. What happened? Was he sick and being examined, or just randomly keeled over?

Wow! It is so much easier to post a picture now.
