    How DARE you call me a curmudgeon! My gardening pedigree is impeccable! Seriously, gardeners are as bad as farmers. Like here, farmers had a practically perfect growing season and had a PERFECT harvesting season, mild drought and plenty of time to get their crops in, despite that most farmers...

    One Alaskans greenhouse

    I sound like I am wet behind the ears, but DH, DD and friend took our 2nd Carnival Inland Passage cruise in 2023, in Late August. We left the balcony windows open every night.

    Which Plant Do You Recommend Every Gardener Try Growing at Least Once?
