duct tape won't do it?

was able to hunt the groundhog today and so i hope that was the one using the burrow that i'd been trying to trap for a while, but no luck there until i saw it out in the back lawn eating some green stuff. plugged up the burrow entrance good and used a lot of wood stakes to make it very hard...

the most surefire way to do tomatoes would be to use the fine mesh cover on the branch or bloom and then when the flower has developed enough to ding it well so it self-pollinates. i think @Zeedman does this for his peppers.

yes, that would be very frustrating.

i wasn't even planning on being able to get outside today with the forecast for rains and that it had rained last night and this morning, but the rain stopped and i needed to get some honeysuckle tree and grape vines cut up and dealt with. nice to have that pile taken care of. and of course...

mentioning little black berries, as a kid we had fields out back that often contained little black raspberries, they didn't grow very tall but they did get spread all over the place. there's some red raspberries growing along the edges of the ditches here and also in a few other spots, but i...

when Mom worked for the various trucking firms for 30yrs she was "introduced" to computers, by the time she retired she hated them with a passion which remains. she barely deals with the microwave oven, tv, stereo, dvd player and the cell phone without wanting to throw them through the patio...

thank you for the update, i was wondering how things were going. :) smart puppy. :)

i looked at those and thought that perhaps that was very thin plastic and not metal. nowadays you get many garden plants in very thin cells which almost collapse if you look at them wrong - which is good in terms of not wasting materials but is bad for not being able to reuse the containers...

that's outside of my expertise for sure. too big and too many risks if it fails at the wrong time. good luck! :)

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..." :)
