Dang, Steve--AND you are getting frost tonight, too!!! :eek: We are totally opposite--high's around 90 during the day, NO RAIN in sight, dry as a bone. I have NO pasture left, so ponies are only in the turnout around the barn and I am feeing hay, 1 bale/day, 2 horses. They are relishing night...

@kcinwv , thanks for the article on Monarchs. I don't think too many of us HERE are spraying for these wild plants. We members of TEG are really not the types to Roundup kill dandelions sprouting in the sidewalks. As for ME, I find smothering my least favorite weeds better than 2 D4'ing them...

Ha, Ha!! That's my daughter, not me!!

MORE cuddle puddling...

@Dahlia , crate trained already?!?!? :lol: :lol: :lol: I got this at Rural King some 8 years ago, for about $150. Can't touch it for that, Now. It was labeled for Great Danes, and I bought it for Eva. I think I would be going nuts with TWO puppies, if I didn't have this.

Is it too late to harvest rhubarb? I have two very large plants.

Sasha & Tegan, cuddle puddle! They keep two very safe toys in their crate, a squeeky Minnie Mouse and a puppy sized rope tug toy.

I suggest that you look hard at WHERE you have planted them. We, in Central IL have had a terrible drought in 2025, BUT, my Bartlett Pear, which has had fire blight several years in a row, is doing VERY well, bc it's been so dry. Since I am up at 3AM (for the GDS puppies), I get to see the dew...

Six weeks of Very careful... 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thanks, already saved on my laptop! I figure that if YOU like it, it will taste good, and I don't want to Waste tomatoes this year on a bad Pinterest recipe.

I will! Frankly, I also want to get some more turnips in the ground bc I think when they go to seed they make the very best cover crop! Even though 50 sq ft isn't Much I plan to plant this right next to the south wall of the garage, about 6 inches deep, where the weeds Love to take over. Too...
