    The Bluegrass Bunch

    Happy new year from Texas ya'll. Herbyanne asked me to thank everyone for the lovely cards she received this year too. Now she has a few addresses and she said when she has a good day with her eyes, she plans to give some of you a holler. She sure was happy about those cards. Thanks to all of...

    Things to do!

    Do the caterpillars stay with the dill or eat other plants as well? We used to have a good crop of dill every year because mom needed it for her pickles.

    Things to do!

    Randy, daddy used to put sand in the garden too. Back then we had a pasture with cows and horses in it and chickens too, so we always had plenty of manure. We'd go out and gather it in fall and he'd plow in under then, and then again a couple weeks before planting time with a harrow. Plenty of...

    Things to do!

    Crabber, I have a tiller, but it sure has a tough time getting deep enough in this hard packed soil. I have dumped quite a few sacks of stuff in there. I put in peat moss, soil conditioner, a couple sacks of potting soil, a sack of organic cow manure and some cotten seed hulls. right now it's...

    New flowers for spring

    Lyn, I had 3 bluebonnets come up a few years ago, let them go to seed and nothing happened the next year. I think rain is the magic word. Texas was like a desert last year. Even the native plants looked sickly unless I watered a couple of times a day. I usually just cut the dead looking...

    Compost anyone?

    Thanks for all this great information. Now I need to find out who owns the cow pasture a block down from my house and see if they mind if I go down there with my bucket to bring home some goodies:o)

    New flowers for spring

    I usually just wander through a garden center and buy what looks pretty to me at the time. I love my gardenias, ameryllis, lantana, climatis, roses, ginger elephant ears and all the other plants that come back year after year, but my biggest wish is that I could get a field of bluebonnets...

    Things to do!

    Yeah, I have one of those too. IN fact I wore one out:D I need a pickax to get this clay out. After about a foot down it goes on forever so I just do what I can to the topsoil and hope for the best. This old dirt raised enough food to feed a family of nine when I was growing up though so it...

    Things to do!

    Smelly, I have dug every garden I ever had with a sharpshooter and a garden fork before now. I just decided I was old enough to deserve a tiller and crave some homegrown veggies. I have grown a few tomato plants in my flower beds but that's not satisfying me. I want squash, okra, a couple rows...

    Things to do!

    I think I'm going to grow small herb beds this year, surrounding my garden. I want to get a couple of rolls of hardware cloth and cut it to make little short fences around the individual plants and put small tags that I will cut out from milk jugs, vinegar jugs etc. I keep a magic marker in my...

    Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity

    I kinda like the one about putting the garbage can on the desk. Sure would be easier than going through all that stuff next year when I clean the desk:o)

    Welcome Randy

    HI Randy!!!! Sure am happy you finally got here. Looks like old times are here again with all these wonderful cyber neighbors, Huh? Hope all of you with snow are all hunkered down with plenty of firewood in. We're sorta chilly here in Texas but you never do know what might happen. Supposed to...

    Have you ever done something really stupid?

    Jules, you had me rolling on the floor with your reply. I cringe at the thought of sending one particular daughter in law some of the emails I've sent:o) I don't really bash her, but wish she and I were more compatible, and have discussed this with her several times. he is sort of anti social...
