@flowerbug , glad you are chatty HERE!! :hugs

I also liked her video on beginner gardening. She thoroughly explains Hügelkultur without naming it. I am going to see if I can do this where my tomatoes go this year. I certainly have plenty of sticks and will soon be sawing off saplings, and I can put a layer of 4 mo used stall bedding on...

Today I did the 1st/6 PT sessions required for my next left leg knee replacement surgery. Appt was at 7AM. PROUD to say that I was 7 minutes early! I have been a latenik most of my life. I decided last year that I would be on time or early for ALL medical appts. I stopped at WM and 4 Concord...

Everybody in Tornado Alley many years ago had a "storm celler", which was really an entrance to their basement, doors at a 45 degree angle. Our house in Pennsylvania, probably now about 75yo had one. Don't have one Here, but the SW corner of my basement has no windows full west, for the same...

Been there... "it could probably use a good cleaning and servicing anyways" DD's abuse their many machines. We found a quilting shop that also services sewing machines, quilting machines and sergers that is about one hour away and close to where my SIL lives. Timing can be a big issue. Also...

If there are bad storms I try to unplug my laptop, just in case. I bought This one bc a thunderstorm and lightning fried the last one. Besides, my laptop battery goes for 4 hours...

This is a wine stopper that I bought from Binny's (liqours) 3 years ago. They were an endcap for $1/piece. They had them last year for $2/piece...don't see them NOW. The tops were gold, light blue, red and pink, and the stopper is rubbery plastic. They fit Most wine bottles, but I had saved...

Back not quite healed yet, SO, I pulled out my trusty riding "God" mower and took out the trash to the street where I left the can, pushed it 180 degrees around to be ready for pickup; I grabbed the end of my 200+ ft of hose that goes from the outside taps to the 110 gallon steel pony water tank...

@heirloomgal , power of Prayer, my friend. When I was mayor I didn't get a chance to tell these dingbats on the board that Praying for our town, like I tried to do before each meeting, helped us. West of the town is open fields. NOTHING to stop straight line winds OR a tornado, and, being a...

My middle DD gets to often celebrate her b'day And (American) Mother's Day. Birthday is May 12th.

Seeds outside got watered in the heavy rain an hour ago. Tornado warning, too! 🌪️ I watered my jugs, REseeded the cauliflower, spinach and cabbage jugs, used a funnel to cover with vermiculite before running the jugs under the outside tap, then grabbed some jug tops and 3 wine/liquor corks...

THANKS!! We had quite a windy t-storm and tornado warning. Tornado was spotted some 25 miles WNW of us at 1:30PM CDT today. We are all ok!! The pony turnout is FLOODED!

NO...it keeps you from smelling bad odors if you apply under your nose. It is commonly used in autopsies, and for rotten squash. :lol:

I have one product for you, my friend...

I am posting some free software that you might want to have on your computer. It is called Irfanview. You can paste pictures to it for manipulation, crop them, etc. I use this all of the time. https://www.irfanview.com/64bit.htm

I dunno...if you call somebody a "character" it could mean one of two things: 1) they are happy and always seem to make you laugh and smile 2) you don't want to say out loud that they are a fool Guess you could laugh both ways!

You can reuse the potting soil. It was a good experiment but it is REALLY HARD to overwinter crops that have been "living in the tropics" outside. :hugs

Back to projects... Dark blue bed sheets for the full sized bed needed marking. I had been careful putting them on--I change our sheets every 2 weeks, more or less--so I marked the two on the shorter side. I had a spool of red thread, old, not enough for any one project and red is easy to see...

Gonna have to pot them up and put them in a window for awhile. At least they will make inside oxygen for you.

For those of you pondering using coffee grounds, I want to tell you what I have learned. First, I was on all 4 forums back in 2009, when I joined up, and WIFEZILLA (RIP) and I had LONG discussions about coffee and tea and using either/both for gardening. First, we determined after our research...
