Is it too late to harvest rhubarb? I have two very large plants.

Sasha & Tegan, cuddle puddle! They keep two very safe toys in their crate, a squeeky Minnie Mouse and a puppy sized rope tug toy.

I suggest that you look hard at WHERE you have planted them. We, in Central IL have had a terrible drought in 2025, BUT, my Bartlett Pear, which has had fire blight several years in a row, is doing VERY well, bc it's been so dry. Since I am up at 3AM (for the GDS puppies), I get to see the dew...

Thanks, already saved on my laptop! I figure that if YOU like it, it will taste good, and I don't want to Waste tomatoes this year on a bad Pinterest recipe.

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...

@Shades-of-Oregon , do you use rooting compound?

O M GOSH!! Thank you!!! :hugs I don't think I'll catch any more shots like that one since our growing season is winding down. BUT, it does make a very nice FB cover photo. ;)

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...
