@Phaedra You have a very lovely garden and your food made my mouth water !! :)

This one was given me by a friend last week. She found him 3/4 burried in her back yard.

@Dirtmechanic Remember that movie with Arnold Schwartzenegger: "It's not a Tumor" ? You could have "Tumor" and "Sarcoma" !! :p I have one like your Tumor but he's not cement, some type of plastic with rock powder in it. I painted him and, a small one of your other one that I also painted...

@Carol Dee As for number 4 above: Yesterday this lady stops at my house while I was working in my front flower Garden, just 20 or so feet from the road. She was saying how she smiles whenever she passes by due to all the color out there. She asked me if I talked to my plants and I said: "...

@digitS' I had lemon balm that someone planted by the steps on our back deck. Since it's in the mint family ...you know how mint spreads. I finally gave up and let it grow under those wooden steps. At least you could sit on the steps, rub a leaf and not get bit by mosquitoes !! :p

Thank you @SPedigrees it's the best I've had in 4 years. Not because of me, but because the weather was cooler this year and the plants were less heat stressed !!

I harvested my potatoes this morning. I had two Red Norlands and three Yukon Golds in the ground. I got 19lbs out of it. I had two big whoppers from the one Yukon Gold that was planted with my Fava beans. From the size of those, I think they made good companions !! I didn't put them in the...

I'm the same. When the phone rings and says: " unknown caller" or "telemarketer, because that's what unknown caller usually is, I block them. That's twice a day at least. The rest of the time the phone sits on the end table quietly waiting for it's next charge. I take it with only if I expect a...

Those are two gorgeous dogs !! My Mule Millie was a coffee officionado. I was so embarrassed when at a trail riding event, while I was holding her and talking to another participant, she shoved her nose into the cup in his hand and slurped away !! Of course she always drank my coffee but this...

I should've hung a sign on her: "i drank my Mother's coffee" !! She is a sensitive little Soul. All I did was pick the cup up, turn and look at her and immediate shame and regret came over her face !! :lol:

The Food Lion I have been shopping at ran out of my extra chocolate creamer......I'm not pleased. So, I had to buy Chocolate caramel creamer. It's okay but not really very chocolately. So, I took my coffee out on the back screen porch, of course my dog Rags came with. I put the cup on the...

We do get frost so the Malabar Spinach does die back in winter but, you are exactly right, they do come back the following year. I rotate them to a new bed if the cutworms don't get them, but usually they do get them: there one day, gone the next !! I haven't found a "bush" variety of anything...

Yep. Thank the Orange Emperor for that !! :barnie

Well, of course it would be the Canadians who are smart enough to have them reasonably priced !!.

I don't think it would but at least you'd toot less !! :thumbsup

I've actually been wondering that for my entire life... 😊

Can you put some of your plants in hanging baskets hung from the ceiling? Then all your plants will have enough room to get to their full size. For plants for east facing positions, anything that likes part sun should do fine.

It was the same for me !! I thought the root trainers were a great invention but I couldn't find them reasonably priced either. So, I just bought 5" deep pots to use for potting up after the seedlings outgrow their " baby pots " . They don't have grooves inside to help the roots grow downward...

Today I planted out 4 Malabar Spinach plants and 3 baby bush Watermelon plants ( yeah, right, they'll probably trail all over the yard without a lot of pruning back, but, I digress) Then did some weeding of the raised beds and deadheading. It got hot and muggy very fast this morning so I put my...

Rainy days are for housework, I've been told. Okay, but, that is, unless you need a day off from all the work you have been doing outside !! Then you skip the housework for another day !! If you spend most of your time outside, then what's the problem ? The house isn't getting dirty when you're...
