    What birds

    So far this month we've had robins, chickadees (yesterday), bluebirds, sparrows, cardinals (year round), finches, mourning doves, mockingbirds, purple martins, and one hummingbird sighting.

    Purple Martin's

    Funny thing...must have stressed them into showing up. I was out watering in the garden this morning and saw a gourd move out of the corner of my eye. Didn't see a purple martin but told my husband to keep an eye out. When I got to work he called and said "we have martins!". What a difference a...

    Purple Martin's

    Starting to stress a little because I have yet to see a scout. Anyone else notice the martins arriving later than usual?

    Dogs

    No pets now, but we used to have Moxie, a black lab that followed my husband everywhere he went. She'd come into the garden but walked around the outer perimeter and never through the plants. It was like she just knew she wasn't supposed to! I was thinking the other day about my mother's cat...

    Zinnia

    I love zinnias also. I'll have to check and see if I can find the purple at WalMart. I was just there yesterday during my lunch but on a different mission. I passed a bag of fertilizer that was set up on and end-cap and running $59!! It caught my attention enough to make me pause and do a...

    What kinds of herbs will you grow this year?

    I have rosemary, dill, and thyme planted in an old #3 washtub and they seem very happy there, especially the rosemary. I planted lavender and feverfew in parts of the vegetable garden to attract bees last year. I read somewhere that basil helps deter tomato hornworm so might try that in the...

    Purple Martin's

    Our house and gourds are ready for the martins. Should see a scout any day now. I heard there have already been scout sightings on Bomb Island at Lake Murray. If you're an enthusiast that is one heck of a sight to see. Hundreds of thousands of martins roost there every year. It is the largest...

    Recipe Thrifty Tips to Stretch Your Food Dollars

    I don't have a freezer any longer so I don't have much freezer space. One thing I have been doing for a while is getting rainchecks for sale items that I will need at some point, just not at the time they happen to be on sale. The rainchecks have an advantage over coupons because they don't...

    Need a potato education

    I got the taters cut yesterday evening, Gloria, and cut them a little on the thick side. They are drying and will get them in the ground over the weekend, probably Sunday as it looks like hit-or-miss showers are set to come in tonight and last through mid morning on Saturday. I've never had a...

    Need a potato education

    Thanks for the responses. I'll check out the site. I bought the reds...no "brand name" attached to either choice other than red or white. Thanks again!

    Need a potato education

    I bought a bag of seed potatoes at a local farm/garden center but didn't get much in the way of advice on how to plant them. I know the basics as far as planting with the eyes facing up, the soil requirements and such. My education need is how to cut the potato (thick? thin?) and prepare it for...

    HUGE Black Caterpillar, what is it????

    I'm sure that's true but...must be scarred from my mom telling us bats would make nests in our hair because I'm pretty much terrified of flying animals, insects, etc., accidentally lighting on me. I prefer to keep my distance. :)

    HUGE Black Caterpillar, what is it????

    Maybe it made it's way from my yard to yours! I had a hornworm in the front yard last summer that was apparently leaving after dining on two pepper plants in the garden. It was a beautiful green catepillar. about four inches long...earlier stage, I guess. I did a lot of research back then...

    Recipe Out Door Grilling

    I'm not much on commercial sauces either. My sister cooks up batches of some ancient recipe that was passed down through her husband's family. I call it "mincemeat pie q sauce" only because I get it in a mincemeat jar she keeps replenishing for me. Just can't get her to give me that secret recipe!

    Roses

    I placed two pictures in an album of a yellow rose a friend grows in her yard. She doesn't know the name of this rose but let me tell ya, this rose bush is stunning and smells like a million bucks and blooms like crazy. Miss Jean tells me this rose has never had a bit of black spot and is...

    Recipe Out Door Grilling

    I love ribs and chicken on the grill most of all. Prefer charcoal, use propane these days. No sauce until the very end, but I do baste with a mixture of vinegar and pepper until I'm ready to add the sauce. I just like that balance between sweet and tangy.
