You need to use a sharp knife to harvest eggplant.

After I got home from work and took care of the flock's needs I walked around the gardens and the yard in general. I noticed that I still had several 4 packs of annual bedding plants, unplanted. Knowing that they would die soon if I didn't transplant them, I picked up a garden knife and started...

I'm trying to recall if I posted a photo of my house plants here. They're on the porch right now, and I haven't put them up on stands yet. Christmas cacti (2), Angel-wing begonias, spider plants, Mother-in-law tongue, aloe, and an "I can't recall the name" succulent.

We have squash vine borers so bad here that I only get a few squash before all my vines die. Slicing the stalk to remove...

This is what I use: It's a Fiskars garden knife, and I love it!

Do the side panels on your tomato bed come off for access?

My mom composted by digging holes in her garden and burying peelings. We also had "volunteer" potato plants!

Sunday after church: Peas before Peas after I've been shelling on and off since I came in. Not sure what I will plant where the peas were, but not squash and tomatoes as they grew there in 2023. Speaking of squash... Zucchini! Yellow straightneck Big squash blossom!
