Mother Nature is surely smiling upon you, Phaedra. You are a true artist of garden landscapes.

I started my riesentraube heirloom cherry tomatoes last week in tiny pots in this indoor grow kit, and they have sprouted! As I'm still wanting to keep my crop of salad greens (at left in pic) going a bit longer, I have the tomatoes on the "day shift" under the lights, and the salad greens on...

You live in a very pretty spot!

It seems they are. This from https://www.birdsandblooms.com/gardening/flower-gardening/rhododendron-vs-azalea/ : Are Rhododendrons and Azaleas the Same? The two plants are very closely related. In fact, azaleas are actually part the rhododendron genus. This means all azaleas are technically...

Here in (aptly named) New England growing conditions are pretty much identical to England.

Thank you for the kind offer. :-) But 'Rosemary and Thyme' was easy to find. I ordered the complete series. Well now we know the identity of the victim! It seems like an eye-for-an-eye motive. Ha ha!

I can totally relate to the pin cushion analogy! Thanks. For a few years after I planted these roses they were just a few blossomless branches tentatively exploring the trellises, but my late hubby remarked that he really liked how they looked. The same year he died, they began to bloom...

It is definitely both of these things. If not for the gardening connection and the murder mystery plot, it would just be drivel, but still, those two things keep me watching. This series wants to be like the first season of Big Little Lies, but it lacks David E. Kelley's masterful writing...

A few days ago, when they were just beginning to leaf out, I trimmed the climbing rose branches that were attempting to root themselves in the ground, and also did battle with the blackberry brambles up on the hill. Thankfully the blackberries were still somewhat cowed from last year's pruning...

That looks like a good idea. Does the end which attaches to the faucet swivel easily? If so that could solve my problems with garden hoses that the ends do not swivel easily, and makes attaching them to the faucet difficult.

Seems like it must be a really horrible person for them all to be on board with sticking together to cover it up. But we haven't yet encountered a character devoid of any redeeming qualities. My guess is that it will turn out that their "victim" died of some other cause, and that they only...

I just had to resurrect this old thread to say how much I've been enjoying this series. Thanks for the suggestion, Ducks! I missed the first two or three episodes, but have been immersed in the following episodes. It's a combination soap opera, mystery, and comedy. I like the way we see the...

In Virginia perhaps. In my state, nothing is safe outdoors until June 1st. (Conventional wisdom used to be Memorial Day, but when they changed Memorial Day from May 31st to an earlier date, I changed my planting day to June 1st.) I have sometimes planted things 4 or 5 days earlier than that...

That re-enactment sounds like so much fun!

You're miles ahead of me in technical and plumbing repair know-how.

My plumber told me the same thing. He's worth his weight in gold. I'm sorry your guy moved away.

This is why sewing machines and I have never gotten along. I hope you can find repair places/persons who can successfully repair sewing machine, washing machine, and sink plumbing.

Electricity... you can't live without it or with it much of the time. I've got some of my own electrical woes.

What a strange life St Paddy had! I never knew this; thanks for the history lesson. And for the AccuRadio link. Mabel and I shall celebrate our shared ancestry from far northern isles across the seas by wearing green, and in my case the drinking of the beer later today.

Indeed Spring has sprung! The glacier covering my back yard is now nearly all melted, I've been able to walk my stir-crazy dog around the pasture and to the mailbox, and daffodils and daylilies are staring to poke their heads out of the ground.
