    Ducks 4 in '24

    Good idea to be very careful not to damage your new knee! Follow the PT’s instructions and build your strength up according to their schedule. You got this! :clap

    What is blooming in your garden today?

    Went for a walk this morning and saw that my Maurice Utrillo rose has a big bloom! And a zebra mallow also blooming.

    I was on crutches recently because of a knee injury. I mentioned to my neighbor that I couldn’t do stairs with the crutches. She texted back instructions that the ortho dr had given her son. (Football player, ACL problems, many times on crutches) Essentially the same as what you said. Going down...

    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    I’m kind of funny I guess. I toast the bread if I’m making BLTs, but for a tomato only sandwich, I don’t toast it. Probably because I don’t like having to be super careful with how the BLTs scrape the roof of my mouth.

    I may have been wrong about the last tomato! I just went out and checked the neighbor’s vines (which I’m suprised he hasn’t torn down already) and found all these with potential. Hm. Nothing for size reference. They are smaller than they look in that photo.

    I made this recipe recently for Oven-Roasted Tomatoes, and they were very good on salads and sandwiches, and also just eating straight. I wonder if you could use your dehydrated tomatoes to make something very similar? Recipe: Preheat oven to 400F. Slice plum tomatoes in half. Gently remove...

    Lunch is a tomato sandwich with the last tomato from my neighbor’s garden. Picked weeks ago when it was fully green, and it finally ripened.

    My sugar maple went in stages this year. Part of it stayed green, and I knew by the time that part turned, the first part would have fallen off. October 21: November 3rd:

    What is blooming in your garden today?

    The red miniature rose is still blooming. This is my other “miniature” rose. It was a gift in one of those little pots they have in grocery stores. But after a couple of years outside, it has gotten huge! It is really trying to keep blooming! (This is on the south side after all.)

    What is blooming in your garden today?

    I think the name of these mums is Cheerleader. I pruned them back in the early part of the summer to help them get bushier, but I believe they are supposed to have long stems regardless. Maybe I should have staked them. They were a little nicer before they got pounded with rain earlier this...

    What is this little guy?

    Well look at that! Here is a cool website where I uploaded a screenshot photo of your plant, and it came up with several close looking plants. The first one seems to be spot on. I’ve never heard of Tournefort’s cabbage. https://identify.plantnet.org/k-world-flora/identify There were some...

    What is this little guy?

    Wondering what kind of climate that weed (?) grows in, I clicked on your username, but you do not have anything listed for location. If you could edit that, it will help out with these kinds of questions. Anyway, I don’t recognize it, so I’m going to see what I can look up.

    Thanksgiving 🦃. So what’s all for dinner ? And easy pre-cooked Cajun Turkey dinners and more ready for pick up.

    I haven’t given it any thought yet, but our youngest son will be coming home, so it will be worth making something. I just saw a Popeye’s ad about their Cajun rubbed turkey. Interesting.

    Goin' to the Dogs!

    Have you ever heard of “Dads and the dogs they didn’t want”? My son-in-law is the best sport ever! Today is his birthday and the dog’s birthday was a week ago. These are their “birthday hoodies”. My daughter clarified that this was his own idea! :love

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

    Oh my gosh don’t EVER plant Cut Leaf Rudbeckia!! I love rudbeckia, but this is entirely different. Lowe’s had it once and I thought “Oh, a new rudbeckia to try!”. I bought 3. They were pretty cool at first. Grew over 6 feet tall. Pretty yellow flowers, although kind of small sparse considering...
