For starting seeds indoors in the spring, 1. Need a big black dog. The way this works is let dog outside. Dog comes in, lays in floor and dirt falls out of his coat in the floor. 2. Sweep up dirt. Black hair aerates the dirt, an extra bonus provided by the dog. 3. Place dirt and hair...

I picked up my tractor yesterday and mowed my yard! It was getting shaggy. Picking up my granddaughters today, they are spending the week. There’s a Gospel Bluegrass Festival in Grapeland, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hey that sounds like that flowering shrub I used to have! Anyway we are...

I loaded my tractor on the flatbed trailer, strapped it down, took it to son’s house and mowed last week. I’m getting better at loading it on the trailer, wratchet straps still confound me, but I’m getting better at using those too. I was using tractor first of this week when it just wouldn’t...

Everclear for spraying the garden? Does it kill insects or make them so drunk that they fall off the plants and forget to eat them?

I have an old berry strainer that I love. I found it in a rent house after the occupant went to a nursing home. Family cleared out the house but nobody wanted that old strainer. That was when I was 20, I’m 70 now, so I guess it’s REALLY OLD!! :lol...

Coffee is ready. Yesterday I bought 2 tomato plants and 2 cups with cucumber plants in them. All were very wilted and sad looking. I put them in the kitchen sink and watered them several times. They perked up overnight and look good now. Maybe I’ll get them planted today. I have a head cold...

Never made grape jelly, but I’ve had failures in other fruits. Use those syrups for pancake syrup! Or if you have a dehydrator with solid sheets, make your own fruit leathers. As far as the jelly, just try again. I use certo and sure jell, both are good.

No mule deer here, they overlap white tails in west Texas. I live in the Piney Woods region, lush forests and pasture lands.
