without pictures it is hard to be sure what is going on, but generally if you think there is a fungal problem try to trim off the older stuff that is likely to be dying back anyways and then also try to trim some of the canes to allow more air to get to the rest of them as they are growing.

the robbins and killdeer are back. they may have been back for a while i just hadn't heard them, but i did this morning on the walk down the driveway to the road to take out the trash. the cycle continues... :) of course the first thing i do in the morning is hit a container of beans with my...

forecast for today is sunny and 67F (i think they're teasing me) and then rain this evening. mix of rain and one evening of possible mixed rain and snow this week. we'll see what hoppins (it is coming up on Easter after all :) )...

i don't see any part of their website which gives details on how to make donations. was this done via Seedsavers?

we've done most of those, some of them fairly recently. last week Mom made some rice-crispy-treats. the two that weren't familiar to me were the chicken livers and the cheese things towards the end. a few things weren't on their list that we've done, but would fit under jello molds and of...

Thank you! :)

A simple thing I'd like to do about once a year would be to get a copy of my journal thread. I don't need the pictures, just the text and any links would work. Any tool I can use to do that? :) Yes, I can probably find a website mirroring tool but if you might already have one that would be...

yesterday was sunny but another windy and cold day. for some reason i thought not wearing a hat would be a great idea. it wasn't the best idea i'd had in a while... luckily my feeling last night of being really out of sorts and a mild case of vertigo actually ended up mostly being a...

yes, you're on the otherside of the great divide of recent months. it sure has been super dry in the arid SW and i sure hope they can get some rains and more snows on the mountains yet this season. and then of course everyone hopes for some good monsoon storms. just how the cycle can go but...

the UFO has been out two days in a row... rumor has it that it might be the sun. i'll believe it when i see it (but not looking at it directly). i have to go outside for a bit, hoping my skin doesn't vaporize...

we used to have people emptying their car ashtrays on the side of the road at the corner and i would regularly have to pick up butts, but gladly that sort of thing has decreased in recent years. my brother used to do that around here too and we asked him to put them in a can we kept in the...

sunny, windy and cold -- if i'd had coffee i would have felt it more...

any lilies we grow outside of fences get eaten by deer, rabbits, etc. some years they might flower but most of the time they get munched on and eventually most of them give up.

oops! :) Mom mowed some of ours too. :( i'm glad i have a few planted in a spot we don't mow...

i wish it were easier for people to get around. i have five full quarts of dry beans that i'll be eating that she'd probably have fun going through. they're a mix of whatever i've had extra in the collection or old beans i won't grow again. there's probably a bunch of different varieties in...
