Is there anyway to clone a tulip? This is my first year planting tulips and this one is so cool. It's got streaky yellow all through it. I'd love to have more of these but I don't know how bulb flowers work.
I worked on my "Tower of Tea" today, a new project. I have lemon balm, camomile, mint, etc. going into a giant stacking container sort of thing. No idea if it will work, but at least I can keep the tower well away from anywhere the mint/lemon balm can spread. I'll take pictures when it's all...
Harold went to a new home today. He is going to be free ranging with some hens in a much bigger pasture. We've had two incidents that make me think he would be better off somewhere else, both involving him flying into the side of the run.
He will panic at random times (I think?) and slam at...
Actually, Leia and Rocco took herding lessons when they were young! They worked ducks, but Leia was too intense for ducks (despite being less than 5 pounds) so she was put on the mildest, sweetest sheep. She loved ordering the sheep around, and the sheep didn't seem to care. They listened very...

This particular bed doesn't seem to be doing well. What ever I plant in it always...

It was a nice day out today so I spent a long time outside. Got the pea garden set and the back garden weeded, fertilized and ready to go. My daughter had an early release so we invited her friend over. They spent most of the day outside playing and enjoying the sun too.
It is very evident that...
Wow, guess I haven't updated this in a while!
Things are going good in the garden. The cold season crops are straining to get out of their cups, so I put them out to harden off. The plants were so much happier outside that after just a couple of days I let them stay outdoors. I guess they...
