sorry to hear you were under the weather and glad to hear you are feeling better now. :) yay for rain! :) that will help out your pastures and sheepies. :) we had been dry for a long time, enough that a lot of the trees have already dropped their leaves due to the stress from the drought...

it is better to have it done before the weather really turns. ours went out in the middle of the worst part of this past winter and our regular furnace repair company couldn't get to it right away so we found someone else who could. i didn't want to be running those tiny electric heaters any...

cutting the plant off and bringing only it in will eliminate a fair amount of bugs and will give several more days of development too, hang it upside down. then after that the peppers will stop getting any more input from the stems so you can then pick the peppers and let them ripen. the more...

ok, it is Wednesday and so i have this comedy for you. this one is milder than the next one (less screaming in the beginning :) and less swearing). as for music, in parts he does sing... : i'm watching this other version now (but i watched another one before that has the same title)...

the care you take is well represented by your pictures here. :) i'm glad they understood and were willing to step it up a bit to make it all happy for everyone...

[-- i wrote a bit at the very end that you may want to think about before you dig up and move a plant inside --]... it really depends upon how ripe the peppers are (aka if the seeds are developed enough). they peppers may be green but still be able to color up in a few weeks even after...

@Marie2020 they should not have lost your pictures and you still may be able to get them back. the phone company or whoever usually has back ups. it would be strange if they didn't have them. hang in there. :)

if you bring that pea plant into the greenhouse those seeds should be developed enough, but i'd also keep an eye on them for animal predation even in the greenhouse as once those pods start to get softer then it means that some could be picked and brought inside for finish drying to make sure...

for sure to each their own. i was just saying that i'm not ignoring posts i'm just not able to take that much time to check things out. my connection isn't very fast. i am here for gardening and related items to that, i don't mind if people do what they want and post links and stuff, but...

congratulations you've won a weather swirly! it's rained four times already today (not counting whatever happened last night) quick but heavy and windy storms and it looks like plenty more on the way.

i think that is pretty normal for mice too. they are always around but you may not notice them in the daytime unless there is food they can get at.

i don't see that one here, but i do get various spots of anthracnose and sometimes white mold. so much depends upon how much it rains and the air flow for fungal and bacterial diseases. because such diseases are well established and endemic here i don't spray the plants and instead only grow...

rat traps. glad to say i'm not seeing that here. we've always had mice and chipmunks and sometimes get overrun with chipmunks to where i have to hunt and trap them, but it hasn't been like that for several years.

sorry, i have limited time and often do not watch YT videos on days other than Wednesday. sometimes i can tell by looking that the video is funny or likeable, but if i can't tell that from a quick glance i pass on by...

as to ancestors, all i know for certain is that i had some and they survived long enough to have children. i'm still not sure if humans in modern form are from only one particular event or multiple events, but the life that we are based upon may also be from either singular or multiple events...
