I would say that if you go online and place a small order with a number of companies, you will receive paper catalogues from them all, but I'm not sure what their catalogue mailing policies are from the US into Canada. I guess it depends on the seed company.

Have they charged your credit card yet, Marie? If not, you could cancel out and buy a washer from a different store/company. It sounds like this Argos outfit has many problems. You have my sympathies. Hope it gets resolved soon.

I love "my" snakes. It seems crazy to me that so many fear these harmless, beneficial, and interesting reptiles. (The only venomous snakes in my state are Eastern rattlesnakes, but those only populate the areas with slate quarries which are not near to where I live.) I'm not generally a fan of...

Because of the drought, many trees' foliage dried out and dropped off without ever displaying any color, just green to brown and then gone. Trees that did change were mostly muted shades rather than the vibrant reds and oranges of other years, and many trees changed color early and then lost...

Wow, you're really high up! Spectacular views!

Without knowing it was National Dessert Day, I baked cookies on that day. They're all eaten now. ;-)

Two recent frosts killed most of my potted porch plants, so I emptied all the pots, except for the still-hanging-on petunias and snapdragons. The next freeze will probably wipe out those remaining plants. Time to replace them with pumpkins I guess. I relocated all my windchimes from the open...

These are really cool looking. I can see why you want these.

It's worse still when you have more dead friends and relatives than living ones.

That describes my daily attire to a tee! Womens shoes and clothes have never fit me comfortably. When our horses were still living I had two pairs of cowboy boots that I wore much of the time (since I was on horseback much of the time). They were the most expensive pieces of foot gear that I...

Luxury is overrated. Coziness and homey-ness are where it's at! If I lived nearby, I'd be a constant visitor to your cafe. It looks like heaven-on-earth to me. And your cooking.. oh my!

That is so cool, Steve, that you are still growing your grandmother's legacy tomatoes from generations of saved seeds. The oldest living thing that I own (if you count clones as originals) is/are two rubber tree house plants. In the 1960s when we lived in Boston, I worked for a time at a...

Looks like you've been busy, Bay! That's too bad about your friend being uprooted along with her family and having to sell the one home and buy another. Wow your sheep population has really exploded! Love the dress (above). That's a side of you we haven't seen!

and here I thought I was the only chemistry illiterate gardener present...

Your sheltie would love these things even more than you do! They excel at agility, trick training, etc because they thrive on having a job to do, and also, if treats are involved, they will perform even more happily. Most shelties are small to medium sized, but some can "go over-sized"...
