no, unfortunately I have no chicken. I would love to ,but the property is too small. I looked grubs up on the internet but it always talks about grass, and the only grass nearby is across the street. We are encouraged not to grow grass in the desert. I have flowers in the front yard and of...

You are right. I looked at the pictures on the Internet they are grubs. Are they bad? I have no lawn.

I have a compost heap in my front and one in my backyard. The one in the frontyard is under a pine tree and when I turn it , it is full of fat curly maggots. Is this good or bad? The one in the backyard has only ants. As I am in the desert they are both heating up very well and I get compost in...

One of my favorite salsas is a fresh peach salsa It asks for peaches, red onion, fresh cilantro, jalapeno pepper, rice vinegar,lemon juice and garlic. I love it with pork tenderloin. I guess you can leave out the jalapeno pepper or go for a real mild pepper.

I am wondering the same thing, though I still have only one on my mystery plant. But it gets still bigger and it is still green, but a lot of leaves and tendrils are drying out, so I wonder.

I always liked rose hip tea, but I did not know how to make it, so I googled it and found this Preparation: Pick ripe rose hips after the first frost in the fall when they've turned bright orange or red. The frost helps sweeten the flavor. Trim off the stem and blossom ends, cut the hips in...

I like to eat them for breakfast. I heat up a tortilla in the pan and add cheese, papaya and peppers and let it all heat up until the cheese is melted . That is a delicious breakfast for me. Or as I mentioned in the other post I stuff my peppers with goat cheese, sun=dried tomatoes, garlic...

These look delicious. One of my favorite recipe are jalapenos peppers filled with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.

Is there anybody out there in the Southwest who has grown currants? I always loved to eat currants and since I live in the Southwest I have not even seen currants in the stores? The same with gooseberries?

Actually I buy the seeds from my local nursery. I should have kept the envelope and write to the seed producer. It said that these were wildflowers especially for my climate. Only in the third year it dawned on me that it must be the wildflower seeds. It was too much of a coincidence that I was...

vfem, thank you, I will let you know what it finally is going to be.... So far I have not ventured into growing vegetables. I have a small yard and when I bought the house twenty years ago I was most concerned about getting shade and planted too many trees. Now I have all the shade I want and...

mg] I am working on learning how to post pictures. This is my mysterious cucumber-melon

thank you, Steve. Actually the plant looks like the third picture under figure 3 in the watermelon link you send me. Not so lobed like the first one and not quite like the second one, but the leaves and the flowers of the bigger picture below the two look right. But it does not say what plant...
