Finally, after towing stuff around I will be back to finish clearing the 3rd 12 ft tomato row. Had to change shirts--too hot! :( As I collected the other day, I also made a pile of past-it or spoiled fruit. I kept thinking of how proud @heirloomgal would be of me collecting tomatoes for their...

MY Vet wants to do simple hysterectomies on our puppies, but, since they MAY live to 15yo AND DH and I may not live that long--sounds morbid, but it's true!--DD's would inherit them and they Both say no bc the puppies would still go into heat. My fencing is horse pole fencing. I don't have a...

Cleared two of the 12 ft tomato fences of weeds and harvested--pictures later on my thread. Also tied up sprawling tomatoes. We have 3-4 weeks left for tomatoes to ripen before the 1st possible frost. I also potted up the clearance mums and threw in some seeds in planters for a lst shot. ALL...

NO!! Some plants like mums are really easy to overwinter. Just the ones I bought don't have sufficient roots to transplant in September.

I LOVE stories like these! Thx for sharing!! Just wanna say, PLEASE train your dogs to sit by your side, in the case that a criminal breaks in. They WILL kill your dog First. I KNOW this would be the case with my two GSD's bc police use them and Melinois AND Dobermans. I want a criminal who...

This stuff is always what makes gardening fun!

I once germinated (but left the seedlings to dry out), 35yo (family) tomato seeds. Older seeds can be viable BUT they will take longer to germinate, so be patient. ALWAYS worth a try, but you need to be a Good seed babysitter!
