All gardening is local. Perhaps, you are located on wonderful fertile ground. New construction didn’t pull subsoil up and push topsoil off where your plants can’t reach it. Maybe, previous residents did a good job maintaining the soil. Chances aren’t the best and are not what I have experienced...

Meteorologists record "Winter" as December 1 through February in this part of the world. The University of North Carolina has used averages to rank US weather stations. You can fill the screen and then stretch the map with 2 fingers to enlarge an area. Apparently, I live in an area where the...

What were your first memories of the family car? It was new at some point but we had that 1949 Oldsmobile for 10 years so it isn't very difficult for me to remember. It wasn't a convertible, however ;).

Herders in Mongolia put a scarecrow on a cooperative horse and use it to scare wolves away from their sheep and horses! I have seen the simplest of scarecrows, apparently effective. A cross with boards wearing an old shirt. Perhaps, we can give wolves and crows more credit for intelligence...

A little reflection on life with a dog. My other choice was being patient while they check their "pee-mail" on a walk :D.

Freezing under a clear sky. No wind ... Isn't that nearly Full Moon pretty?!

A sunny day and the first to hit 50°f (10° C) since before Christmas. Yes, it feels like April. Just to celebrate, here is a short little song by JJ Cale. Grasshopper — how appropriate for gardening anticipation :D! I'm very happy that J J received significant recognition for his work during...

I thought of you, Dahlia ;). “Morel Compass!” I miss my morel harvests. So easy, once I found the right locations. Stand off to one side, crouch to lower viewing angle, look for forest debris a little lifted, carefully search under that — bingo! Steve

Have you tried a blend of avocados and artichokes? I thought that was so good when DW & DD brought some home a few years ago. Then, I tried to find some on my infrequent grocery shopping ventures. Nope, so I came away with artichoke dip – a little bland. DW likes avocados and brings home...
