at one time i was walking along a trail in the local park that is mostly forest and there were some wild roses growing along the edge with these beautiful big rose hips. so i picked some and brought them home and put them in a small bottle. not too long after that there were all sort of bugs...

we're used to leaving the hoses on the ground. i'm surprised we don't trip over them more often than we do. i always am looking where they are at since they can be moved. this year we have put some new lightweight flexible hoses on the front faucet for Mom to use since the long hose from the...

i would ask them what they think. :)

looks like an old chair/recliner... at least when i get out the 5x magnifier. :)

welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan. :)

looks like tomorrow will be a good day to get the onions harvested since there are rains in the forecast the next day and a bit. they look pretty good this year. i hope i can keep them that ways through this process. they are not as big of onions as i'd hoped for but they're not tiny either...

i've had it once and liked it, but i can't recall what it tasted like or why i liked it. yes, i know, that wasn't quite an answer to your comment. :)

i once had an automatic fish feeder. i made sure it was set up and tested before i went away for a few weeks and asked a friend to watch the tank to make sure it didn't get too low on water. came home to fish tank about half empty, the water was pea green and all the fish food was gone (it...

i've been worried that the bunny rampages in the fenced gardens meant that the network beans weren't going to produce anything but so far i have some seeds from four of the five beans picked (with more pods filled but still too green for me to want to pick them) and hope that the one that is...

was so nice to be able to get out and not be roasting by noon. i have been doing one bucket of weeds from the gardens inside the fence and then moving on to things needing done outside the fence until i get tired. while inside the fenced garden i also took some time (oh my!) to go through and...

you never know, i may surprise you some day...

did i say that out loud? :) i would do it myself if i had more room and places to grow pole beans. oh, and time, i'd need more time. i also have a lot of other beans that are not purple flowers but i'm quite happy if they do cross and give me purple flowers. since the bees are doing this...

can i answer this one?

shelling out beans and sorting them is my favorite still, but a lot of the other things about gardening i do enjoy too including that it is meaningful exercise that my body pretty much requires.

Nancy is not a cat no matter how many clothes you put on her...

i suspect you are enjoying collecting all the purple flowering beans you can find. :)

humid and hot for today and not much of a breeze, which is making mowing a drip fest but i'm almost done. i had to come in for a cool off break and some water before finishing up. a few more minutes and then back to it.

if they had a cat that would eat all my grass, i would have a cat...

the long garden along the pathway outside the fence had a good sized patch of purslane that was about to drop a lot of seeds that i was able to weed today at last. it's been on my list of things to do for a lot longer than it should have... took out six buckets worth to the weed pile. feels...

and a doggy bag...
