@Branching Out , I have used Cornell University information on plant diseases and found that it is helpful. However, they say that their VegMD program has "retired." They continue to have help for commercial growers here LINK. The information from Missouri is certainly comprehensive in just a...

Just Having Fun :D

Unusual Day. Not unusual for a high temperature in mid-September but unusual that it is the first afternoon since May 23rd that the thermometer hasn't hit 70°f (21°C) ! It rained. Maybe we will have more than the 1/10th of an inch that the Weather Service predicted but, I think that they had a...

Oh, I was a slave to growing cucumbers probably before the apple cider vinegar and Mrs Dash :). Well, certainly have used Blue Cheese, or Ranch but I don't know about the quality. I'm not much of a salad fan, @Dahlia . So, I'm not very oriented to salad dressings. BTW I don't like any pickles...

Oops! It holds the nest of a woodpecker :). Kind hearted linemen for the county And they drive the main road With the truck pullin' a very heavy load They hear the chickees crying in the hideaway They hear it o'er the damn chainsaw And the Wichita linemen Ain't any outlaws

Maybe you will enjoy a thought on this newly placed utility pole with it's attached section of the old pole :).

Zucchini, @Rhodie Ranch ! How about Rhubarb ?! 😁 We are having a very good cucumber year, @Dahlia . It started early and is continuing. The cukes are not playing out as they regularly did in the distant garden which was so much more exposed to sun and wind. The vines doing the best have late...

Good Morning. Imagining a variation on @Dahlia 's dandelion bitters for my Sunday coffee ... :) dandelion root roasted, orange zest and brandy At one time, I thought that having B&B in my cup of coffee was about at the top of Treat Mountain for a late breakfast or lunch on a weekend...

This year we have something chewing on plants, mostly in the bed on the east side of the house and in a short part of the narrow bed in the greenhouse. Honestly, I think it is 3 things, earwigs, slugs and cabbage caterpillars. The damaged bok choy and mustard greens only matter a little but I...

Just to keep this up in New Posts and where folks can find things through the wilderness :).

Good Grief. Lots of clean-up waiting for @Nifty and crew. I have no idea what is gained by these disruptions.

In September, Secuono ?!?

This morning , before a run to the soopermarket and before this afternoon's visit by an electrician, I did a simple search of my posts on a Gardenweb sub-forum. Some of the TEG community have a history there. I have noticed that when they speak of GW, it is with some sadness after the changes...

My 3 most commonly used gardening tools Shovel (spade) Spading fork Long-handled Cultivator Much of my composting is composting-in-place. This requires removing 8 to 10 inches of soil so that compostables can be added and covered with the soil. I like to do this in every 3rd bed with...

"Anomaly," that's a cute name :). Altho, as you gain a better understanding and a history with it, you may decide on something else. "Worry?" That is 🤔 a little deterring for a gardener like me who doesn't like any struggles with plants . Happy plants, Happy gardener :). I had a mystery from...
