    Your Weather, 2026

    i don't think so as there are trees growing in places on mountains that get a lot of snow up to the tree line. that's the point where trees can't persist because they can't grow enough (too cold for too long). if the piled enough snow to last a lot longer it would probably kill the trees but...

    2026, My year of Garden Narcissism

    Flight of the Navigator, E.T., Short Circuit, Galaxy Quest and My Big Fat Greek Wedding are some movies that i like which i can watch again at times. for seasonal movies i do admit to liking the original Grinch movie, the Rudolph animated one too. for not so seasonal there is Horton Hears a Who.

    2026, My year of Garden Narcissism

    i've eaten ramen noodles raw too, but only certain kinds, a few i've tried have not been good. like you i find them satisfying when i wanted something crunchy, but that was many years ago. i've not eaten many ramen noodles here at all. we eat pasta a lot more regularly so i never feel like i...

    Your Weather, 2026

    i went out and shovelled because the colder temperatures tonight would make the mess even worse than it already is. the snow was tan colored because it was wet but also because all of the dirt coming off the farm fields in the wind. the sun is out and it is warm enough at the moment to melt...

    Gardening with Cows

    three things to do more thought and research on: first: plan on rotational grazing taking up a lot more space than you expect or what some other's may suggest. this will also help a great deal with flies and compaction as there are times when the fields are wet that you may not want the cows...

    What is the song or poem weighs up how you feel today??

    she was a regular album on the turntable when i was a kid and listening and singing along. i can still hear those songs even if i've not heard them in 50 or more years...

    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    sorry to hear and glad to hear it is now in the past. anger is certainly understandable seeing how they didn't even provide basic care for an obvious issue, but the drug stuff i do understand because i'm sure they have to track all medications very carefully as staff might be stealing them to...

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    they might. :) i've certainly seen them in very tiny versions. the smaller the bulbule the less chance. like if it starts out as very tiny you will get a very tiny plant that first season (it may look no bigger than a thread like when you start onions from seeds), but 2nd season i would say...

    Your Weather, 2026

    a bit of snow last night and today the roads looked too slippery for Mom so she is taking the day off. for which i am glad as the wind is supposed to pick up later and i sure wouldn't want her driving on ice and then getting pushed around by the wind.

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    if you don't trim off the scapes the first season you plant them you should get some tiny ones to harvest and use or give away. i've had them the size of grains of rice and they'll still grow. :) one year (some time ago now haha) i had a garden of alfalfa and a large variety of birdsfoot...

    garlic starts/scapes. even if the planting season is completely wrong people always were willing to take some.

    2026 Little Easy Bean Network – Plant A Garden, Water Your Soul, Join Our Family

    i'm not much into pole beans, but years ago i grew "Adam's Family Six Weeks" from @Blue-Jay 's collection of network beans and it was the earliest pole bean. unfortunately it did not get very big growing for me and the beans are pale/tan color and i think the flowers were white (or maybe pale...

    What is the song or poem weighs up how you feel today??

    i'm glad you gave it a chance as i wasn't sure how much of it you would be able to hear. :) it is one of many songs that helps remind me of the good things of some people. the composer who wrote the music and then the players and conductor who came together to play it and then also the...
