My Aldi's $7.99 bargain mama plant is going to bloom again. I counted an incredible 38 buds on the plant, and I may have missed a few! :eek: This time I am going to hold off pollinating the flowers, as once pollinated they fade and produce pods. I'll place the plant in a display pot and bring...

My results are: the fruit is small and each plant only produced six or eight tomatoes and stopped, just stopped. I am going to let this one get just slightly riper before I taste it.

Alex, We are "old school" and do everything around the house ourselves. Theresa is out there early in the morning tending her flowers and I do the yard and garden. I just finished mowing in this heat and I am soaking wet. Gawd, this is AWFUL!!

We certainly have no remose over pruning the roses as they are better than ever. They will get the same pruning in the spring going forward.

No, it has no scent.

The deer missed one bud so at least we can see what they will look like when they bloom again. jack

I have, but not lately. We can not find beet greens anywhere and I love them so they are scheduled for late summer.

Well, the basil project continues. The original plant has been producing for weeks and looks like it will continue to do so as the roots have now reached the nutrients. We have started several more containers so we will have a continuous supply year round. In addition to the plants in the...

A local surveyor gave me seeds for Redorta tomatoes that he purchased from Seeds of Italy. I only planted a few and they got off to a late start, but they are starting to take off. It is a San Marzano and we are looking forward to tying them fresh as well as for sauce. I was not too enthused...

Every year I try to pick my first tomato of the season in June. This year I got a late start so I did not expect to meet my goal. Thankfully, one of the plants came through to save me record.

The tomatoes in the greenhouse have grown higher than their supports. It is too early in the season to top them off so I am tying cord to the peak of the greenhouse to support them while they grow on.

Early this spring we planted two new rose bushes, one a deep yellow and the other almost organge in color. My wife was very excited because they were forming a lot of flower buds. The buds were about to open, however, this moring she found that EVERY BUD on EVERY plant had been removed, just...

For the first time I am growing peppers on wire baskets in the greenhouse and it is working out well. The plants are now almost four feet high and there is still a lot of growing season left.

Six chipmunks showed up on Thursday and attacked poor Simon. They were so brazen they would come right back after I tried to chase them away. I chased one and as I walked back it would follow right behind me. Simon kept a low profile while I trapped and deported them to the Tomhannock...

Opossum checking out the flower bed but did no damage. "The opossum is a marsupial of the order Didelphimorphia endemic to the Americas." I did not realize they were marsupials until I looked it up.

I have been seeing tracks on the drive and walks but this is the first photo. I am thinking fox.

For sports they gave out trophies, for academics they hand you a piece of paper. Anything wrong with that picture? :idunno

I could feel moisture in my eyes when she walked onto that stage. Must be catching something.....
