I will need some help from my family harvesting my garlic, which is now a "dirty word." I harvested scapes from the porcelain garlic 2 weeks ago. IF I need to harvest the bulbs one month later, that means I could harvest at least 1 day before my surgery, and then get outside a week or so...

We MIGHT get a shower around dinnertime tonight. Eldest DD (Chef) insists on cooking at her non AC house. I told her at dinner last night that I would be happy if she made any last minute decisions to cook at my place where at least she could get OUT of the heat, bc we don't cool the kitchen...

There is a contributor to the online Newsmax programming. He is a Biological Chemist and has been saying FOR YEARS that we can do all experimentation at the cellular level and don't need to use live animals. I cannot even imagine the place in hell for people like Fauci who tortured beagles for...

Yesterday I mowed and put grass clippings on top of the cardboard I had put in between my roses...one and done for 2025, unless I harvest rose hips. I also cleared the bed on the south side of the garage. I managed to saw down the blackberries (these are the ones with the thorns :barnie) and...
