1964, David Gilmour before he joined Pink Floyd. I didn't know anything about him then. And now, I should learn a little about what he put out, you know, 30 years later. Well Shucks, that was only 30 years ago. :old hmmm

Succession Planting as 2nds 3rds (4ths?) My schedule: Cucumber starts, early July following early greens Bush Beans, mid July following early peas Peas, late July following early peas Asian Greens, early August following early potatoes, onions and sweet corn I'm not hard and fast about all...

I see the nice bright moon and Venus or Jupiter ... probably Venus. Hazy and far too much skyglow. I'll try again but suspect that I have nothing to report back on ... @Carol Dee must have heavy clouds and drenching rainstorms!

The marigolds certainly receive lots of attention from the bees. I will have take note if I see any wasps in there. Certainly, wasps enjoy some of the flowers. Interesting that we have the thread "10 Beneficial Bugs You Should Welcome To Your Garden" which includes wasps. They are the...

oh no!! it was hard enuf catching a glimmering of understanding about the "life / non-life" of viruses and now .. . this!

A little late to my coffee but I had to hang all the clothes on the line. Doubled, under the deck roof, it should be warm enough for them to dry. I could always move them out to the above the lawn line but I will soon be mowing under that line ... We are recovering from those "room temperature"...

A little update on the Stevia. It's not doing so well potted and in the greenhouse. And, the 3rd plant isn't doing so well in the open garden soil after struggling a bit early in the season. To continue with this ... the cuttings that I took are still without roots. I'm not getting anywhere...

I explored the WS drought monitor for a few minutes .. . discovering a series of maps by date on this webpage LINK. You can see how things deteriorated since January in the Pacific Northwest. And, looking elsewhere, learn about conditions across the US. Remember, droughts are measured by...

Very cool for early August! Our high numbers yesterday and the day before have not been seen since the first days of June. The normal high is 86°f (30C°) but it was in the low 70'sF with plenty of breeze ... It was 50°f (10°C) this morning, a low also not seen in weeks. Two nights ago, there...

We ordered a pizza for pick up. It seemed crazy to ask for added cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers and onions. I asked DW if she would be willing to sauté some of those for the pizza. She said okay. I scattered them around, added some shredded cheese on top, and microwaved a couple of slices for...

A brief gardening dream before I woke up to greet the day :). I was telling someone how well composting works under certain conditions. The initial condition was that the compostables were very dry. Nothing too special, it was just like dried hay. Soak that with water and the result is almost...

I'm also curious :D. If a pint equals 2 noggins in the UK, .. does that mean that 1 noggin = 1 cup and the words are interchangeable? I will need to refer back to your response to keep the information fresh in my mind. I'd better edit in an @Marie2020 in case she misses her scheduled coffee.
