Are these a type of zinnia or something else?

There are hundreds of thousands of them…actually probably more in the hundred millions. They have stripped so many of my plants! Flowers as well as vegetables. I don’t know how to stop them! Help!!!

Took Fenny for a ride. It was his first time and he was a very gud boi. After all the years I spent in a wheelchair, this was a landmark day. I didn’t think I would ever be back in the saddle, but I made it! I am still very weak but the riding will build strength and balance that will really...

Since I got sick, the garden has been completely neglected but I seriously want to bring it back to its former glory (probably totally different plants & stuff) and grow as much of our food as I can. There is a designated food garden if I can get him to move the darn pig 🐷 Here’s a little of...

I’ve had some significant health issues the past several years and unfortunately everything in my garden is pretty much gone, except the hollyhocks which went a little feral and the roses became aggressive and angry. Today Fen and I got out the 6” chain saw and attacked one of the roses and...

Since losing my sweet boi, and Service Dog Heath, I now have his cousin in training. He will be my all around buddy and helper and hopefully this year I will be back in the garden again Fen woke me with sweet kisses and the gift of a dead leaf (Fen’s version of flowers). He’s a natural.

Shortly after getting back in touch with y’all, my sidekick, best and only friend and Service Dog, Heathen, was diagnosed with a fast moving deadly cancer. He was gone in time nly 3 weeks so I have been dealing with an enormous amount of grief. I’ve had a lot if dogs, loved them all, but losing...

I’ve been gone too long and health issues have kept me inside but I need to get back out and save what is left of my once lovely yard which has gone completely wild. Hollyhocks took over 😂 Gotta start with seeds

Heath and I are back in California!! We spent almost 2 months stayin at the home of one of our employers and now live in a travel trailer at the home of the partners, until the new business is up and ready for me to move in. I’ve gone from barely walking, to walking freely short distances and...

The Heathen and I are visiting friends from n Lebanon, OR and have been bowled over by the astonishingly beautiful hydrangeas all over this town!!! I have failed was th them multiple time in zone 7 California. My coveting level have hit expert this week

So, the other night the Heathen and I woke up at midnite and kept getting a whiff of smoke. shortly after, there was an orange glow in the windows. Apparently a hot bale caught on fire and the 6 haystacks, which held about 100 tons of hay each (enough to feed 4,000 cows though the winter) were...

I am being transplanted from SE Oregon to S Calif in a couple of months. I will be living in a mobile trailer and managing a new Equestrian Center. I don't know how much I will be allotted for a yard, but I so very much want to take some of my plants with me! I have a couple of roses I want to...

The Heathen has been bored, as I haven't been very active today. But he's not one to remain idle. As I rested, unbidden, he brought me a kleenex, a paper plate, a pillow, a shoe and out of consideration, so as not to put me to any trouble, he brought me his tub of snackies so I could pay him for...

This fine fellow is The Happy Heathen, my Service Dog of 3 years. He's been of immeasurable help to me, not to mention the only company I have 24/7 as TheMan is gone over 12 hr a day and we live 4 hours from town.

Who has done this successfully? I will be moving back to Calif in a few months and want to take my favorite roses with me. There was a zero landscaping where I will be living and I can’t afford to landscape a third home on my dime. If I can do softwood cuttings of my roses and shrubs it would go...

This forum wouldn't let me post on my laptop, so I am trying from my phone. This is Heath, my Service Dog.

Made it out to see the critters, met the new lambs, the Maremmas were excited to see me, got my milk cow in, now just wait until morning to see if she still has any milk or not!!

My summer squashes grow 8' wide. I just read someone grew theirs in containers...anyone here?

I always seem to get booted off of this website, but I keep coming back from time to time to see if the glitch is fixed. Wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! BTW, I've had ducks in the yard all summer and no damage. Not at all like what chickens do, and the eggs are...

Anyone got experience with ducks? I keep getting told the eggs are even better than chicken eggs so I bought some ducklings as my hens are all geriatric and ready for the stew pot. The chickens scratched too much and exposed roots and I hear ducks won't do that, but they eat a lot of weeds and...
