Like above the filters won't break down quickly. Is the point that cigarettes will not decompose quicky, or thrown out cigs don't hurt the environment? I have posted that I have found wood shavings, certainly more palatable, from used stall bedding at the bottom of a pile NOT decomposed after 5...

This year my peppers are tiny, BUT, last year, before transplanting, I had my sweet peppers in potting soil in 2 inch pots in a fish tank sitting in 3 inches of water constantly, under a gro light and the fish tank was on top of a heat mat. The water was warm and they loved it. They love water...

Sorry to hear that! :hugs The more I garden, the more I am convinced that you gotta have them established in the ground for them to survive cold temperatures.

Family aloe, that shrunk down to almost nothing and the cat tried to kill it! is doing well. It is on a ledge next to the south facing kitchen window. Poor soil, the toothpick is in there to help drainage, the "pot" is a small candle holder from Christmas. Surprisingly, it is right next to he...

"Waterless" Amaryllis update. It has been in the small, plastic "temporary" pot for several weeks now. Not much soiil, and I am keeping it watered. It lives on the kitchen window ledge, south facing Full sun, and doing very well. Perhaps I will check the roots and repot early next month.

I only got one photo of the tulips on my front beds, 2024. I was busy and strong winds brew off the flowers, but that was timely. It has been several years since I revigorated these beds, but the tulips are in tight and I need to dig and replant some of them elsewhere this year. Enjoy!

I am Sure you never get as hot there as We do in the summer. One year, when I had a flock that was laying a lot of eggs, I was keeping them on the counter. I only AC the LR/DR, and there is a door, so the kitchen is hardly Ever AC'd. Temperature was in the high 90s. Many eggs exPLODED! :gig

When I posted about my volunteer Redbud a few of you wanted to see it, in flower. Apologies for the late evening photos. It is over 10 ft tall now, doing strong, Probably planted by some bird. I Wish it wasn't right on the property line. The trash is all my neighbor's, to the south, btw. I...

I froze my bell pepper harvest, 2022. DD said it didn't taste as good after a year in the freezer. She also said that the dehydrated bell peppers didn't taste as good after a year in a canning jar. BLECH!!!! Good thing the jalepanoes I dehydrated several years ago Still pack their punch! I...

Can you grow that in your back yard?!?!? FANCY!!

I have made many changes to my landscape. Previous owners built a 4 car garage, which REALLY made the property for DH. On the south side of the garage, which is Course is a great place to grow!, there were 8 yews and they Had to come out. I spent 2 weekends digging down 12-18 inches, and...

I have a burn on my left forearm. I wasn't too careful burning sticks, etc. last week. It isn't too long or large. We, horsepeople, steal from our livestock vetwrap supplies to help US heal. DD treated this yesterday with Neosporin, gauze, and covered it up with some vetwrap I had in my...
