She had a heck of a night (can't sleep because fireworks the whooooole night) and fell asleep super early. I will tell her she can see pictures! I know she will be over the moon.

I passed that on. She is so excited!!

My daughter suggests "Fluffy" as the name for the female lamb.

The wire tape came yesterday. We wrapped it around a chopstick and stabbed it into a very buggy pepper pot. Today, all the bugs on it were dead. I rinsed them off so I could see if any new ones appear. How exactly does this work? Never seen anything like it.

The unicorns in a breed are the BEST. When I was a groomer I was tasked with training a new bather. We were giving her only very easy dogs because she was learning. Even so, from her past experience as a kennel tech she was terrified of one of her bath dogs before getting it out of the kennel...

DD potted up the experimental plants today. She did much better then the last time she tried. Instead of grasping the very top of the plant she grasped about 3 inches from the root. We looked at the root structure, and DD got to see an air pocket from not tamping the dirt down hard enough the...

Well, I think that's a bit more important than any car training! What sweeties. I'm glad the sheep is feeling better. How long do sheep live anyway?

Happy birthday!

Aww! Poor Buford! Could you try serving his meals in the truck so he associates it with something happy? How is Ewe-nique doing?

I'm so happy for you!! It sounds like you are working very hard.

That's not a bad idea. I'll look into it!

They're super tiny. About the size of a small aphid. Right now I carry them to my sink, turn them sideways, and blast them all with water until there are no bugs on the plant itself. Then I spray with soap. I've ordered copper tape to give that a try. Removing hundreds of bugs every day does...

So far various efforts have cut down bugs but not eliminated them. Just ordered a roll of copper tape to try this! I'm super excited to see if it helps.

@Shades-of-Oregon These are 4 starts with the 'root riot' beginnings. How do they look to you? Top Side - yes, those are bugs. Right before rinse/spray

Did some potting up today. One of the Matt's Wild tomatoes was enterprising enough to put it's root into a neighboring pot and took up a quarter of some other tomato's space. Separating them was interesting. 😂 We've still got the bugs from bringing pepper's inside. Blasting them with water...

For clarity's sake, I don't think @baymule is poisoning her dogs! I read a newspaper clipping once talking about what the rendering plants that make 'animal fat" etc. do and it had a picture of barrels with dog-paws sticking out of them, getting ready to go in for rendering. :o Combined with...

Yikes, sorry to hear about that. I imagine you'll want to go through all the miracle Chuck Norris food first, but after that some good anti-cancer supplements for dogs: Turkey Tails ($20 for a jar that will last you forever.) Turmeric (The regular kind you get from the grocery store, hide it in...

My sister sent me a cold frame as a gift! I've never had one before, and am very excited about it. It looks like it's used to extend the season, but by how much? I'm in zone 6b. It's usually middle of April before last frost. Would that mean I could shelter plants in it at the beginning of...

Cilantro tastes really metallic to me. As long as it's not a huge leaf or something I can eat the food these days, but as a child one particle of cilantro in the food ruined the whole dish. One of the reasons I knew my husband was The One was that when we were dating he'd scoop all the huge...

I was thinking of you today @Phaedra . Hope you're doing well.
