We have a few in the front and backyards. They grow very easily here without much at all in the way of attention. I think the lack of moisture eliminates a lot of the diseases they can be subject to. Still, a few for cut flowers seem obligatory. ...and, really, very nice. I'm totally with...

How does a chicken molt without losing feathers?

I can see why! How lucky to have a camera with you at that moment! That's a fantastic pic!

:lol: Is that your garden, major catfish? MOST impressive!!!

I'm more or less with you, Beekissed. Things are generally more expensive here in Los Angeles but we've mostly gotten rescue dogs to give them a home and the agencies that save these dogs gets something like a $200 donation. Sometimes they kick back half of it after you demonstrate that you've...

You know what? You're perfectly RIGHT! But, man, these are ADORABLE mutts. My husband calls mutts Heinz 57s.

We're having a light but constant rain. The best thing that could possibly happen here where the clay is slow to absorb water but is also majorly reluctant to give any of it up once it gets wet. And I see signs of life! The shallots and garlic my grandson helped me plant a couple weekend...

Chipmunk are so adorable! Are they "pests"? We don't have them here in the other coast.

Excellent thought! I also have a tree trimmer who used to do landscapes as well as trimming. He's offered to get my plants delivered for me at wholesale if I make a list and wait until the appropriate time for the most tender of them to go in the ground. Still, guess who's too damned...

Pretty freakin' awesome!

Happy Birthday!

I admire you guys who can grow your garden out from seeds. I truly do. I tried it a few times with saved tomato seeds. Too much disaster and broken heart for me. Now I'm a total nursery whore. ...to the tune of a few hundred dollars a week this time of year. Oh well, I get a few things to...

I recently saw a standard bernedoodle and fell in love with it but those suckers start around $3k and go up from there. Gorgeous and sweet dog but the last pedigreed dog we got (many years ago, we now do rescue dogs) was $900 for a yellow lab and we thought we were nutz to be paying that much...

Oops! Sorry if you don't look forward to it. But you sound prepared! And Santa Barbara County is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Down here the news is calling it a Goldilocks storm -- heavy enough in the mountains to create a snow pack but light in the burned out areas that will be able to avoid mudslides as a result. YAY for California for getting one right!

Cinnamon and chiles and sometimes finely ground almonds. Then you whip it up with a wooden molinillo. When kids do it they sing this traditional counting song while they roll the long handle of the molinillo through their palms to the rhythm of the song. The loose wooden rings and hollows...

I'm a 70yo woman living in the burbs of Los Angeles with my husband and my married daughter's family including my 7yo grandson.

My USDA zone is 9b. My Sunset zone is 18.

Salsa is THE "correct"seasoning for eggs! :thumbsup They really belong together.

i think we're going to try that at our house. ...only I think I'll substitute Italian sausage. And maybe skip the butter. Seems like sausage would generate enough fat if I brown them before I do the cabbage and onion. Thanks for a great idea! We like colcannon too and that's, basically...
