the problem with such a branch cut back that long ago is that the wood may have rotted inwards and so even cutting it even with the branch may still leave a weak spot that may later break under stresses. an arborist could inspect it and trim it so that future issues can be avoided. yes it...

shhh! :) it may not make any difference at all, but eating more beans will likely help out your digestive system bigger pipe at the bottom end... :) people can always try and report (hehe a pun :) ) back...

yay! uploads worked... :) Field Pennycress - tiny thread... Morel (something ate it soon after this picture was taken)... the whole mulched area is a few inches of crushed rinsed limestone over black plastic, whatever dust and bits of stuff that comes off the pine tree is all that's...

i can't upload to my website (for the past several days i've tried) and thought it might have been me not having the right setup or password or something changed. well the something changed was actually at the other end and they are "working" on it. not sure how long it will take them to fix...

is that gray box a part of the purchase?

IMO just gradually eat more beans. :) yes, i'm a bit biased... :)

the other day i found a chunk of very rusted barbed wire in a garden. stories such things must have but we have to make them up ourselves now.

I can't help but hearing some of the parts of this song as "Peas, perfect peas..." :)

if you live alone. we share this place (Mom and me) i can turn my back for an hour and end up with a sink full of dishes. it's ok, i like doing dishes, but that's not always what i plan on doing. yesterday and the day before were a good example. i didn't get the dishes done the day before so...

went out to get a garden ready for planting tomatoes, spent up until a few minutes ago weeding that garden and then parts of two other gardens and still haven't gotten the tomato holes dug. i haven't even checked the weather since this morning yet, so i'm going to do that now while i'm resting...

just give me the ice-cream for breakfast... coffee flavored is ok. butter pecan is better.

i wonder if it would help to gradually increase them in the diet instead of eating a lot of them all at once?

plants got picked up. onions got planted and watered. :) i have an entire tray of Beaver Dam pepper plants. if i grow all of these plants i'm going to have to give a lot of them away!

the speedwells have been a mess for me ever since they were introduced via wildflower seed mixes. the tiny ones are very hard to remove from the lowest growing creeping thyme that i like the best. the worse problem i have with them is that they make my sinuses run. for the past few days and...

beautiful day outside and i'm actually getting some gardening done! :) :) :) no critter in the trap. watered peas, beans and garlic. started weeding a garden so i can plant onions. i even found a really tiny weed (Field Pennycress) which i brought in and took a picture of and since i needed...

the hard part with potted blueberries is keeping the soil evenly moist (i.e. watered enough but not too much or too little).

welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan. :)

Rocky Raccoon was in the trap this morning. i'm not surprised. i let him go and then reset the trap - i hope i scared him enough that he'll stay out of trap now, but ... we'll see. then we spent four hours fixing the fence where the deer went through, made a mess of things and i must say...
