We have a large amount of heirloom Bloody Butcher seed in hand- too much for us to plant ourselves. It's a dark red dent corn. GMO free and not crossed at all. We've planted it in the past with great results- about 120 days and makes beautiful Fall table decorations or crafts. Also good for corn...
@digitS' - When high school practices it's during the day here, and games are in the late evening mostly towards dark. They just stay hydrated!
@thistlebloom - LOL! Saw that once and had to save it- our weather changes a lot here
@ducks4you - I found you this!
@baymule - Definitely wondering about the free chicks! :pop
Loving all these Spring photos- I'll add a few later on myself. Currently, We're already between Spring and Tornado Season 2 though and it's only the 21st (went from freeze last week to a few 70+ days, bunch of thunderstorms and some...
@thistlebloom - Thank you for telling me how your Spring preparations are going, and about your Summer goals too! It's hard for me to think about other people having snow- we've had nearly 80 degree weather down here and a bunch of thunderstorms. I'm so glad you have your tomatoes and peppers...
@majorcatfish - May I kindly ask for the Patio F variety? Would love to send back some birdhouse gourd or bloody butcher dent corn seeds as trade if you like. Both are heirlooms!
@flowerbug - The cabin was actually our main home, and with it being hand built there was no insurance on it. Between work and help others have given, we've been able to get tools to rebuild, have food, and they've given us clothes. We weren't going to ask for help, but in a small town word got...
I'm a day early here but I just couldn't wait. We are so excited for Spring to arrive, even with the threat of bad weather here for us today. I've been a bit slow here on my activity with so much going on- it's time to step back and reconnect with these great folks at TEG.
:clap HAPPY SPRING...
@bid - This was actually a great help! My mother in law said yes, it went between pink and white as the description of the Confederate Rose said. I think we have this "nicknamed" rose solved!
Do you happen to know what the flower below is? This, everyone apparently calls "prickly pear" yet...
I am hoping someone may be able to help us with a bit of a debate here! So where we live in the South, a lot of flowers and trees go by different names. For instance, it took some digging to find that what people call a "tulip tree" is actually a Chinese Magnolia (i know there is also a Tulip...
@Nyboy I have to agree with @Chickie'sMomaInNH about not trying to discuss much during the game. Hardcore football fans usually want to focus straight on the game, so halftime and breaks are good times to chat. I say this as a big college football fan for our home team, and because my husband...
@Smart Red - We actually cut two off around Halloween, as pumpkins are too expensive here, and we cut them the same way and put tealight candles inside of them! I painted my own "fake pumpkin" orange! That was a fun craft! Did you have the chance to grow the long-handled dipper gourds?
We have a few heirloom birdhouse gourd seeds for sale that were grown last year. It takes them quite some time to grow and dry completely! We planted ours at the end of April and picked on the first day of November. The stems were dry, and they were then taken into our shop and hung to dry the...
Thank you so much @sumi for the PoW! Thank you @thistlebloom - it definitely signals Fall for us when we start smelling the Persimmons in the air and see them dropping on the trails. @Smart Red - They are a favorite for us too!
I would like to submit a photo for the next round of PoW! The wild Persimmons are falling now, and we have been gathering them daily. We love the sweet smelling, tasty Persimmons!
