got milk? :) nut milk, are those acorns?

bunionothons? and if you bring an onion green bean casserole it would be buniononionbeanathon... i have headed off a few of those bunions in my life. nephew had one starting i keep forgetting to ask him if he's dealt with it or not... proper arch supports can really help.

it brings me smiles seeing you continuing to do so well, plus finding your balance and what you need. now i also wish i could pop in for breakfast or brunch. i'd take one of those pumpkin cheesecake pieces for sure. heavy crusts don't appeal to us. for once we have no cookies or desserts in...

so much pneumonia and covid has been going around here and among people i know elsewhere that i'm worried about it getting either of us here at home. so far ok, but close calls (people who visit us who have had it or family) and that Mom is out and about more too means more chances. :( take...

i've always called it Creeping Thyme. i recommend going to a greenhouse and getting them when they are blooming so you know exactly the color of the flowers you are getting. there are a number of varieties so you want to get the ones that have the bright purples you enjoy - there are some with...

old spent lavender plants that she wanted to remove. russian sage stalks she doesn't like leaving over winter. she's a lot more into "deadheading" than i ever have been. i'm very much a let nature take its course sort of gardener. i figure they've been growing for millions of years, who am i...

the botulism producing bacteria is pretty much the worst in terms of no smell or obvious signs of a problem in some circumstances. the most recent event that made the news (that i remember :) ) was from potatoes that were home canned and not properly done. made a lot of people sick and killed...

emptied a few sheets of stuff that Mom had clipped and that was it for the day.

did you see these pictures already? you can get to the larger versions near the top of: https://www.anthive.com/project/n_garden/ if you go to that page then there are links to the larger pictures posted that look like this: Thyme - Jun 05 2024 (4003K) there are so many bees in the 2nd...

it may take some years to fill back in. are you willing to wait that long? as swamp loving plants cedars build up their own pads like that.

picked through the last bean garden for a few hours. now i have a paper bag and a half more Purple Dove beans to shell out. i was wondering if they were damaged by the frosts but they looked ok when i spot checked them before and during picking. a few pods here or there were still not fully...

the pepper garden did get done yesterday. was pretty easy. i probably spent more time picking gravel out of the dirt (and cleaning it up before tossing it back on the path), weeding and reshaping the garden a bit (to slow down or capture rains before they flow off). i need to transplant some...

yesterday's salvage from the pepper garden were some longer tapered green peppers that did not get damaged by frosts (hiding under the leaves). cleaned them up and cut them up and enjoyed some bites while i was prepping them and then used some in with the stuffed pepper caserole that i thawed...

beautiful dark purple! nice shape! :)

@digitS' i think apricot trees would survive here but i've not looked into it yet. i like them a lot more than peaches or pears.

stealth decorative veggies. :) there's not much lawn left here and i'd like to get rid of even more of it if i could. the front lawn was mistakenly covered and planted with gardens but it really should not have been since it is the septic drain field. eventually i'd like to remove a lot of...

three more beautiful mid-70s sunny weather in the forecast. i hope i can get all the gardens put up by then, but a few days of a break for some rain is ok, the temperatures after that will be down into the mid 50sF and then back to the mid-60sF and again sunny which is still great weather for...

i'm guessing that that was the Yakkity Yak that did talk back... (sorry, it's early and i can't resist a bad joke :) ). i've never had Yak and would never think those words would apply to liver. now i'm trying to think what Braunschweiger would taste like if made with that kind of liver other...

i hadn't checked on the worms and fed them in a while so i really needed to see what was up and to make sure they all had enough water and some topped off bean pods and other veggie scraps to munch on. buried some wet items. i was glad to see that most of the fungus gnat population explosions...

finished up one garden and did not get the front or shed doors painted, but the counter tops and some other things did get varnished by Mom so she'll be happy to have that done. my own digging was also good today, that back SE corner garden has been amended, had garden debris and turned enough...
