Beautiful pic, thanks for sharing :) Miriam

Thanks,Ron That pic was from spring,we went for 2 months this summer without a drop of rain.It got pretty bad there for awhile,we've got cooler temps now & some rain pretty regular. The sunchokes are blooming now & they did manage to get pretty dern big this year.Funny thing is we thinned...

The good news is we've got a water pump!! I figured everyone here could appreciate that,lol.It's been several years since my MIL had one running.It's electric & we got it for free,just had to replace the seals.DH ran the electricity down to the pump & buried the pipe. My Dh got 400 ft of...

LOL @ Greensage45 & beefy.. yall crack me up. :lau I'm not going to cut the "monster" down.. it's just too cool looking. The pink flowers are lantana, just put them there this spring.My MIL was trimming some & I just stuck them in the ground. That area is right by the coop & guess the ground...

Hey yall, got a mystery going on here. I planted a few marigold seeds I saved from last year. This plant has never bloomed,but it sure got big! It's over 6ft tall. Here's a close up of the leaves,they don't smell like a marigold. :idunno

Thanks Pat & Hattie, Last year, I had planted them in a bad spot & maybe got 2 pods. :( They are doing much better this year, can't wait to try some. We planted some green beans & purple hulls peas,should be having some of those real soon too. Sure is nice to have homegrown veggies. :)...

Hi, I've been researching online, one site says to leave them on the vine & others to pick when they are 8 tp 10 inches long. :idunno Has anyone on here grown them ? Thanks, Miriam :)

Oh thanks so much for the links. :) I'm going into town today to see if I can find some of those ingredients. :woot

Hi yall, We've have been blessed with another harvest with our blackberries this year. We don't drink but, we'd be willing to try some homemade wine. :P LOL ! If anyone has a good recipe to share & any tips, we'd love to hear them. Thanks, Miriam :)

Thanks so much, Setter... believe me,I've squashed & squashed those boogers... the darn chickens won't touch them,go figure. I'm going to try spraying the tar out of them & continue the squashing, if I have to I'll go to town & get some stuff. Thanks again, Miriam

Oh wonderful, that's what they are.... is there any other type of household stuff I could use??? Like Joy dish soap & minerial oil or veg oil??? I live over an hour to the nearest town that might would carry that. I don't want to hurt the Lady bugs...

I have no idea what they are, but I want them gone!!!! The pests are tear drop shaped & they are sucking the life out of my clematis. :( I've tired hosing them off & tired using soapy water. I'm at a loss on how to get rid of them without using chemicals.There are also some Lady bugs that...

me&thegals, no, no... that's okay :D it's all a learning experience,lol. Took me awhile to figure out what it meant. No worries. Miriam :)

Thanks, I'll have to pick a spot & add some sand with our soil here. I really hope I can grow some, I love the smell of lavender. Where are you getting yours from?

I've tired planting the ones I buy for the birds.... like you said Pat they are tiny, pathetic looking flowers,lol. I've grown the mammoth kind,the wild birdies love them... & the darn coons :rant

Hi yall, I've tired growing some (can't remember the kind) & ended up killing it. Do any of yall know what would grow good here in north Louisiana? Thanks, Miriam

Hope this is the right place :) I'm searching for some to plant, need the name of them. I'm wanting the type with the big sunflower heads. I've ordered the stripe seeds before, but I would rather have the kind that are good for the chickens. Thank you,Miriam

nccountrygirl, so sorry. I can post them again. I usually don't leave my pics on Photobucket for very long these days,lol. Give me a few(several) mintues... on dial up,lol. Okay they are up top again.enjoy :)

Checking & checking tomato plants for worms :rant

It seems every year I put out plants earlier than before.Rule of thumb is put your plants out around Easter to avoid frost where I live. I really jumped the gun this year,I put all my plants out by the middle/ end of March. That one squash plant is a monster, I'll have to post some pics of it...
