I like the david Austin roses too. I have one called 'heritage'. it's a pink (like the color of pink glass) w/nice scent. it's pretty tall (about 5 feet), but it is not mature yet - so not sure how big it will get. one bonus is it has little to no thorns & nice hips.
I have a pink...
I like marshall's rotating cabinet idea. sort of like a lazy susan, but different. my problem w/counters is that i'm a collector of every kitchen gadget/tool imaginable, so there are crocks sitting around on the counters w/scissors, spatulas, ice-cream scoops, metal utensils, non-stick...
it looks so good. I really like the shade of blue. I too am working w/blues right now. so many shades. I like the open cupboard & am thinking about it on one cabinet. I don't like the dust though. I may cut the inside part of the door out & replace w/glass as a compromise. I have an open...
I haven't read anything on land reform, so I don't bring much to that table. I am, however, aware of dwindling family-held farms/ranches, the global grab for power via food production, and the dark relationship between politicians and food production corporations. i'm kinda of the mind set...
that's a beautiful pumpkin! I bought some pretty pumpkins - does that count? :hu
I threw out what seeds I had for cover crops a few days ago. the buckwheat is coming up, i'm waiting for the red clover & hoping for some oats to come up. if any of it can get some tops before freeze, it'll all...
wow major! those are some gorgeous raised beds. I wish I had planted garlic. I wonder if I still can. I may give it a shot. those carrots are sure beautiful too!
I have beans! who knew? they were just a teensy weensy bit delayed. i'm going to have plenty to send to you bluejay if I can keep the goats out of them! thanks to red's advice, i'll cut 'em down & hang 'em up if a frost is impending. I think they've got a little time yet. whoop whoop!
marshall, I think your kingsnake would need to wear a bandana around it's "neck" so your campers wouldn't de-head it when they see it crawling around. there are lots of folks who live by the premise "the only good snake is a dead snake". I can see it now 'oh, there's marshall's snake, isn't he...
i'm with marshall. I like naps, especially around 2p.m. they don't last long, usually about 30 minutes - but it feels good. it's the lay down on the bed, turn the air conditioner to COLD, cover up w/a cozy blanket kinda nap.
yes, a trash cam would be nice. our little community works hard to have a nice place (well most of us). it's a community with many living close to the financial edge - but that doesn't keep them from taking pride in their place. then along comes a slacker who carelessly throws their trash...
pumpkin seeds are supposed to be good to worm goats and chickens. I figured acorn squash is pretty close to pumpkin. I take these seeds out to the gang. the goats sniff it & look up at me with a question in their eyes. while they're wondering what to do with this weird stuff, the chickens...
