Our kitchen seems to be arranged wrong. All the activity goes on in about 3 running feet. Well, maybe 4. My DH has the habit of standing at the kitchen window, looking out, when I am trying to do something, so this blocks me from the sink and the trash can. It's not like we don't have a sliding...

I have regular shop lights set up in my basement, on chains for height adjustment as the plants grow. 2 sets of 2-bulb fixtures, 4 ft long. I buy a couple of bulbs every year to rotate out a couple. One thing I have found is that you need air movement around the plants to make the stems sturdy...

Hi, and Welcome from Southeast Missouri, zone 6. Definitely grow things you like to eat. Don't go overboard the first year because it sometimes is a real pain trying to keep the weeds out. It is better to see how much time you have to do the maintenance, weeding, watering, harvesting. Lots of...

@ninnymary , I think losing those needed 5 pounds is harder than losing the first 20, or 30. I think a body puts the brakes on once it gets close to target weight...I don't know, maybe it's the fear of starvation that is in every body. Conversely, if you only have 5 pounds to lose in the first...

Hey @canesisters ! how's the keto going? Are you using the various flours to bake and/or make desserts?

OMG, Bay! Where do you get your energy?

My phone can only keep a finite number of blocked numbers. I will be shopping for a new phone soon. I think I will make an effort at that time to subscribe to or buy what ever is available to block spam.

I have even been called by my own number twice. :\

Dang, I missed it! Did you have ice cream with that cake? I have been dreaming about ice cream lately. 🍨🎂 Sigh! Oh well, Happy Late Birthday, Zeedman!

I get about 7 to 8 robo calls per day lately, but last night I got 3 robo texts! They were addressed to my DH (phone is not in his name) telling him the money needs is available to him; he just needs to provide some information so it can be transferred to his account. 😛😜🤪😏 Sure, let me go get my...

I don't think I have ever seen ragweed that big. They look like trees. Oh yeah, weeds are bigger in Texas.

I hope the weather is agreeable so you can get all that stuff done. It seems like weekends are for rain, around here. 🌦

Unless they are the latest thing, or a desirable classic you probably aren't going to get enough out of them to cover the aggravation. If the library doesn't want them, you could try the salvation army thrift store, Goodwill or a used book store. You probably feel like I do, that "donated" is...

OK, so in the frog and fish illustration, is the fish carrying a basket of fish eyes? I don't think I get it.

Bay, you need goats. Do you know what kind of weeds those are, by the way?

Things went pretty smoothly regarding my parents' passing and the distribution of their belongings. Most everything was taken care of before Dad got to that "Change Nothing!" phase. My DH's family was a whole 'nother matter, and dragged out for years, with hard feelings all around. DH has only...

I just looked up the Captain Jack's Dead Bug Dust, to see the active chemical in it. It's spinosad, an organic killer. Just wondering, you folks who have mentioned you don't do any gardening during July and August, do you mean you just don't plant anything during the hottest months? Do you...

I think figuring out how a certain area has the terrain and soil that it has, is fascinating. We have an area here that is loose gravel on top of pretty high hills. People haven't been able to figure out that one yet, considering the chain of events that the surrounding terrain has experienced...

@YourRabbitGirl, Lesa hasn't been posting for quite a while, but I wanted to welcome you to the forum. Roasted tomatoes does sound yummy, particularly in December, right? Tell us a little about yourself, what you like to grow, your general location, etc. Oh, and we love pics!

Bay, I wonder if the black surface will create too much heat for your garden plants? It would be nice for early spring planting, but I don't know about the rest of the season.
