    Guess what my daughter is doing for wedding favors? Edited to add pic

    Thats such a nice idea! Plus, think of all the people she will get to influence to think about the idea of growing and perserving food!

    How I love to see my son, Mateus.

    This picture was from this weekend. I looked over and he was throwing feed for the chickens and geese and laughing his head off. I grew up in the city and that would have been my dream childhood. Because I never had that, it means the world to me that my son will be raised to get his hands dirty...

    what to do? now own 2 houses, which to keep?

    Here's my professional opinion as a Realtor: 1. Listen to the friend who is still in the industry, assuming they aren't super new to real estate. It's a different world than it was 5 years ago. 2. Keep the property you will love and enjoy more, regardless of the investment. This is always the...

    I cleared out that bed yesterday and am going to "juice it up" before I try it again. Both of your suggestions could be right in this case..I did put them in tight and did do any fertilizing before I used the bed. I really don't even like radishes. I just wanted to plant something that was...

    As a first year gardener, i also got some radishes from the garden. But like someone else mentioned, at least half of them in the same bed never "fattened up"..You could see the radish bulb because of the color, but it was only as thick as the stem. ALL of my beets did the same things..Does...

    Do you know what this is?

    I see this is an older post, but..we had a ton of poke weeds in our yard this year and my Dad told us he remembered eating them growing up and how his mother would boil them several times. The stems on ours looked like this but were a beautiful magenta color (darker than this picture) and they...

    Hateful thing

    I was also going to say that it looks like the crepe myrtles that pop up all over my yard and they are STUBBORN! I pull and 1 week later it's there again and even sometimes with small flowers!
