    some people say three left turns make a right, but doesn't that really depend upon how far you turn?

    unfortunately this is not true. some plant species (i think the trillium is one of them) in northern woodlands are adapted to more leaf cover and putting worms back into those woods means those plants don't do as well.

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    one pile of paperwork was gone through and the stuff i didn't need was shredded (i go through and remove the plastic stuff, labels and stamps first because shredding those and feeding them to the worms means it eventually ends up in a garden and i've already learned how much fun it isn't to pick...

    Coffee

    we like a lot of lemon desserts. i would have also probably enjoyed the various textures of that one. sweet and sour and chewy. :) domino bars (i see some recipes use vanilla pudding and vanilla instead of lemon pudding and lemon juice but we don't) are very good for those who can tolerate...

    fuzzi is Transplanted in Eastern NC!

    it looks like you have a fair amount of shade going on there. that may mean that the irises won't bloom as much as they would otherwise if they had full sun. sorry for your loss. :(

    one hole (let alone a forkfull) can drain a gallon jug pretty fast. how big you make the hole will be important... we used to bury five gallon buckets in the gardens next to the tomato plants for watering but after several years of doing that i ended up just returning to direct watering. the...

    Your Weather, 2025

    yesterday was pretty nice here, but today is rain which has turned to snow for a bit. it isn't supposed to be that much and it should be warm enough to melt it all.

    beware... i have many thousands of onion seeds. most of them may not be any good any more but i'm being very tempted to go out and put them in a big garden and i know if i do i'll regret it. why do i know this? i've done it before with thousands of garlic bulbules...

    Branching Out's Seeds and Sprouts

    yes, that's likely to be a more sure fire way to do it but i don't know how much such a test would cost and what percentage concentration of seeds with the GMO trait you'd need to be sure to get a positive result on the tests.

    Branching Out's Seeds and Sprouts

    it depends upon the crop/seeds, but usually most GMO seeds are set up that way so that the growing plants can be sprayed with a herbicide and they want the plants that have the GMO traits to survive being sprayed so that all the rest of the plants (aka weeds) around those are killed. so the...
