I'm sooooo unmotivated. Its down there, down the hill, all dark and horrible looking. I haven't been down there in several weeks. I need to work on it, but don't have the gumption. Our next rainy weather is arriving Thursday after a long dry spell. Temps have been high 20's at night and almost...

I was talking via messages to Bay about Bobm and decided to mail her some of his Japanese maple tree seeds he gave me back in November 22. I've had them in my refrigerator. This led up to me looking him up, since he's in the next town. Bob was quite ill, on dialysis two or three times per week...

One of my bro's is married to a Filipina and when her family gets together to celebrate her mom's 90th last nite, we all feasted! We enjoy Paedra's food pics so I thought I'd share these. Whole pig, slow roasted over a spit. Stuffed with lemon grass and scallions. some sort of little...

Its occurred to me that I've not seen her here. I know she was having problems with her landlord and the home. I sent her a pm and not heard back. Anyone know? Thank you.

I've been a member here since 2009. That's a long time! I've never posted a garden journal however. Lets get this party going! I moved from So Oregon to So Washington over the last two months. The garden and chicken coop were here. I quickly purchased store bought plants and ordered some last...

I think of you often and wonder if you could use some talk on here. Talk therapy! Nothing intrusive, just companionship from all of us to YOU!

Hello all. I'm looking for these flowers seeds to plant in front of my fences to add some color and not have the golf course deer eat everything in sight. Thanks!

I researched furnace filters. Actually its a return air filter in the main floor in a hallway. I read and read and shopped Amazon too. I learned that altho filters now have some numbers scaling their effectiveness at filtering, its not always the right thing to use the higher numbers ones...

Hubs texted me last Monday: "Please take the pink slip for the Ram over to the Dodge dealer in town today, sign it off and give to them. Thanks." Its a 2014, Longhorn Laramie 3500, which we paid cash for in 2015. Only has about 60K miles on it.... WHAT??? What in the heck did he do? Me, after...

Hi all, esp Baymule (my hero lady). I need some strength. Hubs has done all the repairs and projects for 30 years. Now that he has abandoned me and this wrecked house, I need to do the projects. 1. Garden: surrounded on one side 40' long with plastic fencing. Three other sides board fencing and...

Nyboy mentioned in another post that the smoke tree I mailed him a couple of years ago, is not growing. These prolific and colorful trees grow in zones 4 - 8. I had them very successfully in Angels Camp CA, which was a solid zone 9. Anyway, now that I'm in an 8b zone (USDA), I am happy with my...

Now that things are changing here in the household, I'm planning ahead. There is a huge area out front that is full of all kinds of grasses - crab grass, Pua something, some wild pansies, and some real grass. Out back there are small spots of grass. When listing the house and having pro pictures...

I'm not a tree person, except for my beloved smoke tree and crepe myrtles. This tree is at the place I'm moving to next June. Its very messy - I'm the gardener there right now so its fruits are all over the street, the sidewalks, etc.

I read about Major's 11 inches of rain and then 4.32 inches and then more and watched his vids....Rain. Gosh, we need rain, but its just not part of our climate out west. In Grants Pass OR on the 15th of July a thunder and lightening storm (virtually no rain) came thru. It started over 100 fires...

I took a pic about two weeks ago of a legume growing amoungst my flowers in the front. At first I thought it was an errant sweet pea or a regular pea. NOPE> its tendrils are huge, overtaking, monstrous, kinda like that movie "The blob" that was so scary back in the day. I'll go take another pic...

Back in Calif, I used to buy hanging flower baskets from the Menonites, and they sold a special granular fertilizer for them. It was kinda gold in color but turned green when mixed with water. I cannot remember its name nor can I find it on a search on the net. Suggestions? Or suggestions for...

When we got here, the old multi grafted apple trees were infested by coddling moth. I cleaned around the trucks this winter, put up traps and used the sticky stuff. Still have them on these old trees cus the baby apples all have holes. Then yesterday I noted that the two variety of old pear had...

So that I didn't totally hijack NyBoy's thread about Pop... My mother wants to live with us. She's now 8 hours away, will be turning 88 and is in better shape than I at 63. She lives in a three story townhouse and runs up and down the stairs all day long. She's also wealthy. My sis runs her...

I just went through all my seeds and find that I don't have any japanese eggplant seeds. They come in purple, white and I can't remember what else. I LOVE them...So much better than the bulbous variety. I love grilling them on my BBQ. Anyone grow them and have a few to share?
