    Sewing machine

    I'm still using a Universal that I bought new 35 years ago. My Mom's Brother machine still works good after 40 yrs. I think any choice you make will be a good one. It's really great that you do quilt sewing for the children, Bear. That's a very special contribution.

    The Problem With Traditional Gardening

    Well... for two..I like traditional gardens and I learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others. It's all the fun of gardening, finding out what works for our zone, climate, soil type and last but not least..our pocket books! As you can see, we are not a forum that will be used for...

    Kitchen Tips

    Cool tip Curbie, wonder if that's how McDonalds makes those McGriddle biscuits? They have the syrup already added too.

    Help me identify please

    That's it!! With a name, I was able to look it up. Thanks Ron. You were also right KYA, it's also known as spotted bee balm. I'd never seen one before so I was curious to know. I know I didn't plant it so a bird must have dropped a seed!! The article I read said that the leaves could be used as...

    Newbie Vegetable Gardener - Greetings from Indianapolis!

    This is true Ron, I could buy my produce and come out on top but it just doesn't taste as good... and then again...I wouldn't feel that excitement and pride that I feel when I grow my own! Welcome Thyme, it's always a pleasure to have new gardening friends join us. Those Jelly bean tomatoes...

    Help me identify please

    I found this bush growing in the edge of the woods by my house. I didn't plant it...I don't think!:o It has leaves similiar to a Butterfly bush but they seem to be slightly varigated. The flowers form a tower of three or four high, each growing from a stem from the center of the flower below...

    tobacco stick fence

    I've never heard it called "cutting" tobacco. It was refered to as cropping here. And I guess what you are calling "tipping" we called topping which was breaking out the top and any suckers on the stalk. Everything was done by hand back then. Funny how things change or differ from state to...

    Dwarf Garden issues

    OMGoodness!! Snooty, I don't know what to say about your crop..it sure looks bad! I'm kinda in shock looking at the pictures. They actually look as if they didn't have enough water. Have you checked the PH of your soil? That soil report doesn't say anything about the acidity. I purchased a soil...

    tobacco stick fence

    I like it!! Great imagination Errol. I remember when I was a child, my brother, sister and I built stick houses out of the tobacco sticks (when they weren't in use). It would be complete with benches inside. I'm surprised you were able to find tobacco sticks..I would have thought they would be...

    Dwarf Garden issues

    Just from things you've said.. I take it that you're close, if not located ..in my state of SC! The thing about the "tobacco plant that need topped"..was a dead give away..LOL. Staying hot thru Oct was another. The variety of corn you grew could have something to do with the stalk and ear...

    mum bed & Iris's

    Welcome Errol, you've already gotten good tips from some of the best, I'd leave them too. I enjoy Mums and they are easy rooters. You can take cuttings and root new ones for next season. Iris are one of my very favorite flowers, I just wish the blooms would last longer. I do have a couple of...

    Adenium Obesum seedlings

    OH RON!!!! I think I know what I may have done wrong! And I have the means to correct it! The desert would be a sandy soil! I have sandy soil but I didn't use any, I used potting soil! Not enough drainage and no sand!! I'll be making some potting changes today! Thanks for the info...
