Okay, as mentioned in the Bison thread ... Terrible picture. I had actually walked away about 50 feet, then turned and took this picture. You can sorta see her legs and the top of her head. She was standing beside a creek in the park in very deep shade. The sound she made was a very dramatic...

President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation creating the Park Service on this date in 1916. Here is a virtual tour of Mt Rainier for you, LINK. Don't get your thumb stuck on the 360⁰ photographs! Web cams are fun and the areas of fog should be lifting soon.

@TEG Project Manager , has a question about this in the forum. It's a very difficult question for me. What matters to me in the garden has a lot of variables and diversity has always been important to me. First of all, I am unsure what "limited resources" might mean. If it is money to purchase...

The above post in this thread is from 9 years ago and covers my approach. Hoses : They aren't all that difficult but, of course, it is easiest to have them in their own location for an entire season. In the commercial greenhouse where I once worked, we had 2 hoses in every 2nd path between beds...

This was a fun little exploration of a local heirloom in what actually may be a similar climate to my corner of the world, although it is in the Trans-Himalayas. It also fits in with the legume harvest about to happen with many of the TEG gardeners ;)...

1964, David Gilmour before he joined Pink Floyd. I didn't know anything about him then. And now, I should learn a little about what he put out, you know, 30 years later. Well Shucks, that was only 30 years ago. :old hmmm

My son is looking at new cars so I'm sending him this. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis inflation calculator tells us that 2,000 in 1960 is $21,793.54 in today's money. Do you think that this will help DS make a choice? I had a Ford Fairlane of about this year but bought it used and...

Then, there will be ones home from school for the Summer.

If you have this Groundsel (Dendrosenecio kilimanjari) ... and notice that its little brother may be the earliest blooming weed in your garden :).

Aquadulce Claudia Fava Oregon State University recommends them for overwinter planting LINK! Fava beans have absolutely burned up in my garden. Two years of trying with Spring planting. This isn't the Willamette Valley of Oregon but I read that they are grown Spring and Fall in the UK. Steve

It is thought that he may have been born on this day in 1564.

"Seed-saving should not be the goal, but merely a skill that is used in an ongoing relationship with the plant." The article presents the idea that TEG seedsavers seem very good at implementing. Near loss of heirlooms and corporate interests are considered...

Here is what weather .com posted Monday: Here is what they posted today: “Correction: Earlier this week, we published an article about hay fever that featured a photo of goldenrod. Goldenrod is generally not considered to be a significant cause of seasonal allergies.” Ha! Beautiful plants...

The onion seed has sprouted nicely in the greenhouse with our several days of sunshine. Boom! Encouraged, pak choi and cabbage seeds are now in a flat of soil. Additionally, some very special lettuce seed will have a chance to make their start. This is a bit early but will allow for...

I can't quite bring myself to refer to them as "bad" without implying some sort of morality on garden plants. Perhaps, given most of our annual struggle with weeds, we can say that those are bad. Still and yet, with my appreciation of harvesting some weeds, I'm inclined to think of those as...

It is a new experience for me. There have been a few years when I haven't had one square foot of garden. Probably more often, I have had a little more cool and comfortable green lawngrass to walk on and got busy to but in some garden beds for flowers and veggies. More years than both of those, I...

James Taylor & Joni Mitchell for Carole King's Tapestry.

Here I am, retired comfortably to the lazyboy after breakfast and some minor chores. No, I'm not out scraping ice off the windshield on this frigid morning and heading off to work. Breakfast? Sure, I'll have a second one soon — so nice to have the "coffee break" here at home but I do miss the...
