I can never find seed for those small snack peppers that you can buy in the store. I found the plants last year and grew 6 plants. They were so good. Can I save the seeds from these? I think they are a hybrid so perhaps the seeds won't grow new peppers.

Today we got 2 large tractor tires from a tractor dealership. They were thrilled to be rid of them and asked us to tell our neighbors. Cost: only the gas for the pickup and what the soil and flowers cost. Any ideas what to plant in them? This is what we did with our retaining wall last fall. 500...

This is what we are doing this year. We put 2 dog kennels 10 x 10 x 8 together to make a 20 x 10 foot space. We removed 1 foot of the clay topsoil. There are 1 foot wide timbers pressure treated and painted with Thompsons Weatherseal and lined with plastic around the edges. We are in the process...

I ordered Bob Flowerdew's book on composting, but won't get it until the end of the month. Thanks for this reference.

I could maybe just use it for mulch instead of composting all of it? We are new to gardening and composting and have purchased 6 yards of mushroom soil which is a well composted mixture. It's used as garden soil. Our clay soil is not good for our garden. Last year all that grew is what was in my...

We always get Rx for 3 months of medications we regularly take with 3 refills so we have Rx for a year. Medicare allows for this so we rarely run out of medications.

I forgot to bring my birdfeeder in the other night and bear destroyed it.

I am wondering if I can use the pine shavings I use as bedding for my baby Chicks and ducklings when I clean out their crates. I have been mixing it with a large pile of top soil left from when they built our pole barn.

I just ordered a greenhouse similar to that. I can't wait to get it. They said beginning of May!

That's easy enough to do since the posts, which we got for free, are stainless steel and 15 feet long. They are what mechanics use for exhaust systems on cars. We will then use barbed wire.

We bought our home on 10 acres as a 2nd home for retirement and made double payments on the principle when we could. Our other home was a 15 yr mortgage and nearly paid off at retirement. That home sold in 1 day with 25 day closing. We were able to pay this home off and have a tidy nest egg...

The kennels are brand new and we just set them up for the garden. There are times we have 25 deer in the yard. I plan to grow peas, beans, and cucumbers along the edges so they can climb like a trellis. Then carrots, tomatoes, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, peppers. Brussels sprouts...

This garden will be deer and rabbit proof.
