    Dreams and their Meaning

    @Marie2020 sometimes dreams are just your brain playing around with all that happened recently, trying to connect things that might be important to you even if you may not consciously think they are. in this case i would guess that you had time and computers on your mind recently and perhaps...

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    today it was foggy (aka what we call froggy) weather and later the fog burned off and i could go outside and play in a garden for a while. i had some bags of bean pods, wood ashes and some dirt to go into a garden so i decided to try something new and see how it went. i first put the four bags...

    2024 Little Easy Bean Network - Growing Heirloom Beans Of Today And Tomorrow

    for a few of them i do it by keeping each selection in their own containers. last year i had these four beans: i planted two and each plant survived and gave me seeds so now i have about 80 (i have not counted them and many may not be viable but i don't know that yet either). sometimes i...

    Your Weather, 2024

    if you look now (10:30pmish EST) you will see nature asking a question in the form of a front that includes some rain for us. which is ok. i am actually glad for it. the front looks like a question mark. :) ?

    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    we have been making our BLTs in bowls in recent years, so the bread is cut up and smothered with all the other ingredients so it rarely is very scratchy by the time we're eating it. it's more like a bready, tomatoey, bacony pudding... yum yum... :) now i'm hungry for breakfast already... :)

    Propagating Roses from Bouquet Cuttings

    the only thing i'll add is that cuttings only need one leaf on them, some people leave too many leaves on the cuttings and that can pull too much moisture out of the cutting before the roots have a chance to form.

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    i will say this, if you can get away with planting creeping thyme or other thymes instead you can head off a ton of weeding from all the grasses and other weeds that will invade all of your other gardens. it will need some weeding but it is much less than what the lawn areas spread into all the...

    2024 Little Easy Bean Network - Growing Heirloom Beans Of Today And Tomorrow

    the beans i have here inside are completely dried out by now with the furnace running every morning and the pods being kept in paper bags there's no wet pods at all. i wouldn't have any fear at all of there being any needing much more drying down and could all go in containers but i'm still...

    Concerned About Growing Old?

    interesting, i didn't know the name Google existed as an actual name or word before the company, but mathematicians named some number of digitS' a googol (10 to the 100th), but as you can see they did use a different spellink.

    Your Weather, 2024

    for about 20yrs our garage door would not keep the rain water from seeping in, the cement contractor did not angle the lip downwards to keep the water out. so one year i finally got some mason cement and made a sloped lip downwards to where the garage door came down. it is not 100% reliable if...

    Peppers 2024

    last week i made the mistake of getting some seeds from my tray where they've been sitting since i put them in there a few months ago (and added to as i've harvested more peppers and have more seeds). using my fingers... i forgot about them possibly being hot. rubbed my eyes. oops... next...

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    cut them off at table height and put a top on them for tea times or potting stands (or most likley place to put things down that i'll rarely sit on or use otherwise). eventually they'll rot. i'm mostly ok with also just cutting them as close to the ground as possible and then putting some dirt...

    Museum of Glass

    i've seen large installations of works by the artist that did the 3rd picture. Chihuly. i'm not sure most of the display is still there but it was interesting to see (at the Fred Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI).
