I am SO Glad that I bought tomatoes and peppers from local guy who gardens almost his entire yard in a town nearby. I Thought that the long peppers were Jalepanoes, but now I know that they are Marconi sweet peppers--I remember the labels, and I am growing several in different pots. I have...

DD's enjoyed dinner in our "cold room," and puppies slept well in the cool in their crate. Potty training, so not finished is going very well. I am also exerting control. I mentioned the atty friend, whose GSD's are 5 months old. She took them for a walk recently and face planted bc they are...

@kcinwv , thanks for the article on Monarchs. I don't think too many of us HERE are spraying for these wild plants. We members of TEG are really not the types to Roundup kill dandelions sprouting in the sidewalks. As for ME, I find smothering my least favorite weeds better than 2 D4'ing them...

Surprisingly...tomatoes. In fact they were very ripe. I put aside enough for tonight's salad and managed to can 4 pints, plus enough extra for a snack.

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...
