I'm at 2nd leaf on my tomatoes and broccoli!

Now I'm inspired to paint my front door! DH will flip out. He's very "white walls" traditional... I have ONE chocolate wall in my country gold living room and he thinks its horrid. I need to figure out what color to do the house tho... its sage green with black trim right now, gross. My mom...

Oooooh as a tomatoe fan I am eagerly awaiting the results of your experiment! I'd follow their suggestion of soaking the seeds in warm water, if you had a few extras I'd soak them in warm water with epsom salts to see if it made a difference, but since you dont have extras I'd follow every...

So, I am getting itchy to plant the garden. Prudence tells me that this early spring insnt real... but darnit I wanna plant things!

That's nasty. Strawberries are summer fruit, and you make jam or freeze them so that you can use them all year, that's good enough! Speaking of... I'm already counting down to the strawberry farm opening their gates!

DH gets all insane about it. He puts tracking powder in the attic and the garage attic, sticky traps in the corners of every room, and snap traps under the cabinets. AND, he'll probably try to get me to let the dog sleep in the house for a few nights (she REEKS of fresh thawed cow manure right...

I LOVE this! thanks Steve!

I think we have a mouse, because it sounded like there was a giant sized chipmunk munching on something in my wall last night...

We used a big old stack of old cattle panels that DH had behind the barn. Then, we stepped back and proudly surveyed our hard work, and a chicken walked right thru the fence. So, we wired chicken mesh to the inside of the cattle panels and I've had ONE chicken ever fly over since then. The...

We're growing these: http://rareseeds.com/vegetables-p-z/squash/winter-squash/atlantic-giant-pumpkin.html DH will have to be OK with it, because they are big sellers for Halloween around here. I'll plant a few hills, then focus one or two on just growing one big pumpkin, and the others can grow...

DH is against "viney things" in the garden So I may have to find a chicken-safe location elsewere....

I got seeds this year so I'm in!!!

I'd like to get a real summer this year. I think there were 2 days last year that I went without a sweatshirt. This week looks to be mid-upper 60's which is INSANE for northern MN!!!!! If only this could be setting the tone for the season!

My hanging basket had a run in with an exhuberant puppy, so I need to get a new one for my front porch. I like it to hang right above my old iron spoke tractor rim in the flower bed. I have lots of nasturtium seeds, I'll try those in there!

I was in the process of buying a 110 yr old house 5 years ago before I met DH until the owners backed out. It's such a nice house, I would have loved it. It was built so well and had the unique characteristics that old houses do. I remember being impressed by the roof in the attic, the wood...

It made me smile thats for sure haha!

I'm trying to figure out how daylight savings time is creating global warming by magically generating an actual extra hour of sunlight per day...

Wait, did she just say what I think she said???

:welcome From the Frozen North!

I'd like everyone to know that I used the saran wrap idea and put the pot on top of the fridge and it only took 2 days to get my basil sprouted! Thank you!!!
