So if this guttation happens during low humidity does that mean I should mist them? Our main source of heat is a fireplace which does indeed rob the humidity from the air. Or should I just not worry that much over them and just enjoy this natural phenomena? I find it very cool to see "dew" on...

This is my first year to have ANYTHING growing outside, mush less trying to PRODUCE. So, with that in mind I am asking if I should cover my strawberries, cabbage and cauliflower? We have had a couple of light freezes/frosts but tomorrow night is supposed to be a hard freeze and I'm not sure what...

:ep WOW! I want one of those monters!!! Fantastic!

Ohhhh, nice! Much more fancy-smansy than my little ol' screwed-together windows! :lol:

Wow, Joe, that is just amazing. And I thought I had a lot going on! As for your selling end of things, I have a book I would like to offer you. I will need to go thru them but we came in to stacks upon stacks of gardening books and magazines and one of them covers the business end of...

Cupcakes are fun!

The only thing I put in hashbrowns is salt, pepper and potatoes. My mother would boil up a big pot of whole potatoes. Then she would drain and store them in the fridge until she needed to make hashbrowns. Since they were already cooked all she had to do was peel and grate them then give them a...

Oh, not for me! The plants I started with in March are still blooming even as this cold front and soon-to-be-snow is spelling out certain death for them. Yesterday I finally picked all my tomatoes and ended up with three 5 gallon buckets and five 3 gallon buckets overflowing with various-staged...

:sick

Thanks guys! Ron, I think you hit the nail on the head. I just noticed my diffenbachia is doing this also! Very cool to see... I think the split leaf philodendron you might be referring to is the "monstera deliciosa" http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Araceae/Monstera_deliciosa.html I...

Well, Beefy, Hollywood did his job so we sent him on to a new home. Our current buckling tho will probably be sticking around for a while. I have my first batch of kids from him due at the end of February. This is Chance:

So, I have a couple elephant ears that seem to weep. As in, the leaves are putting off moisture almost to the point of being covered in dew. Is this a reaction to being freshly watered?

HaHa, I had never even heard of latke's until now. So I Googled recipes and now I must make them! When we were kids my mom would save leftover mashed potatoes and make potato pancakes with those - considered poor-man's fare but us kids thought they were delicious!

Joe, I will give you and Eby a baby if you come pick it up ;) Mom is a red and white half Boer, half Nubian. Dad was a black and white paint Nubian. I'm looking in Photobucket now to see if I still have pics of Hollywood (dad). OK, these aren't the greatest but these are pics of Dad...

One of my nanny's gave birth sometime early morning to 2 beautiful little girls. Say "Hello" to Coco and Tuesday:

Yay for Eby!!!! Going back to school is hard work!

We are on our last legs of indian summer. That cold front is swooping down on us and should leave us in the upper 20's tomorrow night and Wednesday night. I have been sicker than a dog with the flu but will have to knuckle down and get out there to clear my tomato plants. Yes, they are still...

We usually don't start decorating until the first weekend in December.

That's the nice thing about these starters - you don't have to go wandering around looking for little splinters of wood. :) And when it's cold outside, 5 in the morning and the fire has died out let me tell you I really appreciate not having to go hunt for starter stuff ;)

On average they will burn about 15 minutes, possibly more if you can really stuff the lint in there. And parafin is relatively cheap - I think only a couple bucks for a block that will make 12-18 starters. And I usually only use 1 starter. :)
