That would be a good lavender. Weather killed my rosemary too, so bought a small one to start over. My bok choy and choy sum is a bust. I think that spell of hot weather, or planting too late is making them all bolt before they get any size to them. Will try again in July for a fall crop.

What is that? Glad we don't have those here.

I am getting so worn out just reading about your day. Whew! I wonder if this would help my friends who have chronic back pain?

Mine almost died this past winter, so I was able to trim off the dead branches and salvage some of it, but now it looks like a bonsai plant. Bought 3 English lavender, which is supposed to be more durable. So sad you cannot get them to survive.

I read about different species of lavender, and which does well here in our weather type. English, the one we get the essential oil from, and for culinary and aromatic uses, is the one. I found some at our local store, plus another variety. I grow and harvest the buds to flavor kombucha. One of...

2 of the leghorn pullets had roosted in the apple tree this evening, and did not look very comfortable. I was going to let them stay, but decided not to let them start the habit. Moved them to Onyx's coop, but one came back out. I closed them in so they couldn't go back in the tree. I revamped...

I've been pregerminating my bean seeds, and have gradually planted them out. It's too cool yet to direct seed. Did the majority of them yesterday, and more popped by this morning, so got those out too. Harvested all the oregano this morning, and having DH dig out the huge patch of them so I can...

I have a bird bath, and make sure I float some sticks in it or put a rough rock or ceramic hydroponic balls for them to climb on in case they fall in. Makes me sad to find drowned bees. You can also just have shallow rock filled container, adding water to just below the level of the rocks.

Oh, I guess according to your photo, the glads are blooming every which way. Mine seem to bloom toward the west side of the yard.

You could always sell the top bulbs. Have you seen the price of these!?

Phone year I just picked off the top bulbs, and shared them. Also, a neighbor used them as scallions. Amazon has a lot to choose from. Even saw a 75' one.

Got mine on Amazon. Probably will get another soon. In my head, I'm trying to design a soaker hose system. Do I go with emitters,(and all the different size tubing, etc.) or flat soaker hose with quick connect attachments?

I am so over pocket hoses, fabric hoses, and so on. Today while preparing to water bean seeds, it exploded where I was holding it and I got soaked! For the same price, I recently bought a stainless steel hose. It is lightweight and should withstand pressure. Time will tell its durability. I...

Surprised you didn't notice a smell before now.

Won't be a pile for long. They are such great tractors, aren't they? Piles of anything don't ever last long around them. Raking leaves is futile.
