another botanist!

I saw this and thought it might apply to us... I always go into a panic when I am sitting in the dentist chair- did I get all the chicken poo off of my shoes? They can see my soles It also takes all I have not to weed the flower beds in public or at restaurants or malls. I spent 10 minutes...

This seems to go well with lazy gardene';s bad seedling day and then her surprise in the leaves.

an engineering school in upper New York, I keep a Noaa weather bookmark on the computer for Albany, and yesterday he was only one degree cooler in the morning than we were. He has not experienced the winter yet. But he bought a sled. He figures if he keeps buying snow equipment he can keep...

No, but he calls everyday to give me the count down. I think finals are wearing him down. He took some killer classes. He wants to spend the month working in his black smith shed.... which is right next to my garden plot number two... which has a mountain of horse manure in it waiting to be...

I am definitely on my way to crazy dog lady.

....I could be all envious and all... But instead, being the goodhearted soul that I am, I choose to be happy for you people that have things other than alligators.

We have been getting chips and saw dust pellet things form a horse stable. It has manure and pee in it. I figure it is rather hot, but eventually it should be okay. How long did it take to be good soil? Being hot and humid down here it should be usable more quickly, I have not spread the last...

canned mushrooms last night!

That is true. There is nothing quite like sitting down to a meal and realizing you grew it all. We enjoy the gold fish pond, but I am not sure I want to replace it though. Maybe fill in the hole. put the flagstones back down and get an Adirondack chair and some iced tea? ...but my husband...

We have been talking about how less might be more. Less landscape -more time not weeding and trimming, -less ponds= less pumps and irrigation and wiring... But... I like having it and I like doing it, but... maybe just on a smaller scale I don't want to give into 'old.' Have any of you...
