Tuesday i had a guy walk out in the road in front of me. i saw him and did not hit him and could brake in time but he didn't even look. not nearly as bad as what happened to a close friend years ago (someone tried to commit suicide on a busy highway and it just happened that CF was there that...

i found one tomato worm so far on the 9 plants we have. it looked like there were one or two more worms but as of yet i have not seen any more damage or worms when i check in the morning so either they are gone or just waiting for another day to start munching again. perhaps some critter is...

if it were a melon you'd know the difference in the smell even if it were grown surrounded by them. the smell won't soak in or transfer and the melon gives off plenty of its own smell. :)

that works well but the problem with Mom is that she wanted to listen to books on cd and the whole process of ripping them to disk and copying them to a thumbdrive would violate copyright (getting them from the library) and take way too long and too much fiddling for me (Mom will not do it herself).

good rains today, puddles are back in some gardens, more rains still possible...

good luck, but so far the only option we have is either to be happy with a single cd player or to find a used one and hope it works. so far reviews of used one sellers are less than encouraging. so my current plan is to hope that Mom will be happy enough with the radio.

got out early to check for tomato worms and weeding until it started raining. glad for the rains, we need them. wasn't sure by the radar and direction of the front if we were going to get much from these rains, but more have come along so that is a help for sure.

... that is some serious rain and cool weather and some beans will probably like it more than others. since you are the first person from Switzerland that i've seen post here in the bean threads you may have some pretty distinctly different weather than what is normal for many of us. i hope...

wow, that's just wow, i love blackberries. :)

when i saw the title for this thread i thought to myself as a joke that that would be about perfect as that would be about how long i'd keep them alive. note that was just humor and not my own past history with succulents. as a kid and going into a teen years i had a succulent collection in a...

you'd need pretty well drained soil. we can't kill them here (even in a raised spot and never had to water them they kept going until we removed them because they kept dropping all those seeds and Mom did not want to keep them up. right now in that same general area there's a garden that...

so far we got about three drops of rain. storms are popped up just a bit to the east of us. hot...

that's quite a bit above Jumbo size (70.9g)! wow...

Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall are my favorites.

this morning got out early enough to see if i could find the tomato worms, and i did find one but i suspect there might be another. heading out to get going on weeding this morning asap. it's very humid and no breeze at all so far but it is supposed to be there eventually, i guess. chances of...

Four O'Clocks were probably the first plant i became aware of as a very young child. i remember seeing the seeds and thinking they were miniature grenades. my aunt had them along the side of her house and my uncle was a gardener. they're very nice flowers. :)

morning glory seeds persist for many years after - i just pulled some morning glory plants out of a pathway and a garden that hasn't had any fresh seeds in them for about 10 years. only a few plants, but that is all it takes. what surprises me the most is that the plants can get going even in...

full sun and reasonable garden soil, like onions it doesn't want major competition from weeds and regular watering while growing and then towards when it finishes you hope the rains hold off. i suspect you do not have full sun where you are at.

windy and warm, got out early and weeded until my legs could barely walk up this little hill to get in the garage. i started outside the fence for a half hour then an hour inside the fence and then back outside the fence to get as far as i could in yet another garden. while in the fenced...

toadally!
