    What are your favorite perennial flowers?

    I also love hellebores. I first learned of them when we moved to WA. They are so fancy and so pretty!

    Concerned About Growing Old?

    I hate ironing. I used to iron my dad's shirts for work and then my own when I worked in an office. I'm happy none of my current clothes require ironing! What a waist of time!!

    Organic gardening 2025

    I moved into a house one spring that had a garden space in the backyard. As I was turning the soil I found some Yukon gold potatoes! I was so excited because this was an unexpected surprise! There also was a small rosemary bush in the yard, so I ended up making rosemary potatoes to celebrate!

    Green onions

    I love green onions! I use them constantly and I use the whole thing - just trim off the very ends on each side. I grow them a lot in the garden. I planted them one year in such a way that I could fit my lawn lounge chair beside them. Then every time I sunbathed, I would do weeding right...

    Big landscaping job

    I removed part of our lawn by the house to make areas for bushes and flowers and I just used a flat edged shovel and scraped off the grass where I didn't want it. Then I added steer manure and hoed the area pretending I was a human rototiller! Lol. It worked great!

    Shelby’s gardening 2025

    Welcome to the forum from the Pacific Northwest! I believe African Violets like indirect sunlight and warm, humid temps. When you water them, water directly into the soil avoiding wetting the leaves.

    I know it is so sad! When I lived out in the country in CA people would drop off kittens out there to just abandon! Very sad.

    Restarting the garden

    Many of the incidents of me getting stung were due to other people that were near me at the time. One was my brother messing with a nest and I happened to be hanging out nearby. Another time I was hanging out in front of our house holding our dog while our house attic was getting sprayed due...

    Somehow, It's Funny that Way

    I can still pick up things with my toes! I can even open a door with a doorknob with my foot + toes! 😁
