    I Hate Green Briars!

    :lol: :yuckyuck :lol: YOU CRACK ME UP BOB! How-some-ever, I must agree with Red! I personally happen to know that Bay's DH used to run a landscaping business. So, he does know how to clean up branch stubs. :gig I also have every confidence that the stubs will get cleaned up. BUT, Bay & DH...

    I Hate Green Briars!

    WOW Red! That looks amazing! Your DH had to have worked really hard to get those trees cut back & cleared out. It's just too blamed HOT here to do that kind of work! Today we had a heat index around 108°. :th

    I Got Tomatillos!

    Wow! You look a lot younger than that in your avatar! :D I thought you might be mid 40s? I lived right IN Fresno proper. I looked on the map again and Roeding Park is a little less than half way between W. Eden & W. Cortland, where I lived.

    I Got Tomatillos!

    Yup. Roeding - sounds like Row-ding. :) Redding is at the very northern end of the Central Valley. I've never been to Redding. Although I'm pretty sure it's cooler & wetter in Redding, than in Fresno - which is pretty much desert. I remember some blazing hot, dry days in Fresno. :th

    I Got Tomatillos!

    I just looked it up on Google Maps. It looks like you were due South from us. According to the map, we would have been about 5 miles or 15 minutes apart. Wow! It's a small world, isn't it? Although I left Fresno in 1963. I suspect you weren't even a sparkle in your Daddy's eye yet. :lol:

    Old Sweet Potatoes

    My slips are coming along nicely. Still not ready outside, to plant. So, am happy to have them still on the sweet potatoes, and just starting to root. The ones (3) with green leaves came from our local Brookshire's Grocery Store. The one with burgundy leaves, is organic, and came from Costco...

    I Got Tomatillos!

    Awww, Mary! That's so cool! :hugs It's been a LOOONNNGG time, so I'm sure it's changed a lot. We moved to San Jose when I was in 6th grade. So, I don't remember where a lot of things are. But, I went to Roeding Elementary School. Are you familiar with that area?

    Bay and Devon Are You ok

    Less than an hour north of Bay, we have heavy red clay under 8-10" of sandy loam. Its not easy to dig it. I know 'cause we've been digging 3' fence post holes!:th I would love to have a storm shelter in the ground, but not sure it's gonna happen. In the mean time, our house was built with the...

    I Got Tomatillos!

    Now you're talkin', ccheek! I grew up in the Central Valley region of California - HOT, dry Fresno! With all the crops grown there (cotton, grapes & plums [for prunes]), there were lots of Mexican laborers. So, I grew up with the real deal - not Taco Bell wannabe food. We're talking homemade...

    I Got Tomatillos!

    :celebrate I was so excited to see this thread! DH & I love spicy foods. In fact, we met over a jalapeno pepper! :lol: We have fallen in love with egg quesadilla's for breakfast, and figured out (by process of elimination) that green salsa is amazing with them. The green salsa we found at...

    Not Quite Phoenix

    Like @baymule said, our temps are getting up into the mid to high 80's. We tend to watch indoor/outdoor temp & humidity closely, to try to save on electric bills, running the AC. If temp & humidity are lower outside, we open windows. If both temps are above 78° with humidity above 65%, windows...

    Devonviolet Acres

    We have two eight year old rescue cats, that we got, as kittens, in Pennsylvania. Porter is an orange Maine Coon Mix, that was found (at approximately 3 weeks of age), in the snow under a bush, with his 3 brothers, who were short hair gray Tabby's. I found him, on PetFinder.com when he was 5...

    The wildflowers are out in East Texas! The counties, in the state, have broadcast wildflower seeds along the Farm to Market roads & they are just gorgeous right now! Here are some shots I got last week when we pulled over to change our church sign. The quality isn't the best, because I was...
