I'm soaking chick peas and kidney beans to make my own, and dicing fresh tomatoes. I want to make it lower in sodium. I'm also using fresh ginger because I like fresh ginger.

Cinnamon, ginger, and red pepper not only warm up the flavors of this...

Park Seed sells a lof of house plant seeds or small starts.

A couple of years ago I would have recommended Park enthusiastically, but apparently Karen Parks no longer has a controlling interest in what was a family business. I've been...

Ha! But do you have the leather sheath so you can quick draw it when you see a weed? You lose Garden Nerd cred if you don't have the leather sheath!
That's a good site, though, thanks. I've got it bookmarked now.

I'm telling y'all, if you need an alien insect infestation, go with Argentine Ant Megacolonies! They swarm and get into stuff, but they don't bite. And they kill fire ants and termites.

The problem I have with grackles is that they tend to flock. I had 20 0r 30 coming to my bird feeder a few years back, and they would bully some of the smaller birds.
Ha, good story, there were some grackles and a couple of doves on a platform feeder I had. The grackles started posturing and...

I think you hit it on the head, Kya.

It's not as extensive, but http://sampleseeds.com/ is a nice, small company owned by an individual, not a corporation. I ordered from her this year, and got my seeds very quickly.

The best time to root them is supposed to be late summer/early fall. I don't know if the same would hold for sprouts or not, though.

So far so good. The fly traps and sun dew are completely dormant right now, but the pitcher plants look like they didn't go completely dormant. The only real care they needed this summer was weeding. The man I got my plants from told me not to worry about distilled or rain water, to water them...

CP? As in Carnivorous Plants?
Way cool! I've just started dabbling in a carnivorous plant container garden this year, and I hope to eventually get a bog garden in the yard.
Gosh, I hope you weren't talking about Cherokee Purple tomatoes!

Luckily not many flower pots go rogue, or we'd all be in trouble!

Doubly sweet!
That's a really nice surprise!

This was a rogue flower pot, not some namby pamby tame and domesticated set of blinds! Rogue flower pots look harmless enough, but they can be vicious! I've heard stories of dogs with broken legs and hundreds of stitches from encounters with rogue flower pots! This one had clearly muscled its...

Oh, I am so so sorry! What an awful way to lose one that you love. I really hate it when people won't slow down.
Hugs to you and yours.

See, that's why you need dogs. I had a rogue flower pot get into the house while I was out shopping Saturday; but my brave and ferocious companions took care of it.

Doug, Spice is a real beauty! I know what you mean about missing them, I still my Matilda. Life goes on, though, and now I've added Isabelle and Josephine to keep Abigail, me, and the cats company.
I included ACD's in my search when I was looking for another dog. I knew I wanted another herding...

You know what a squirrel nest looks like, right? They make great big messy nests, and they might be having babies down your way.
Turkey vultures nest in small caves or hollow trees. Black buzzards lay eggs on the ground.
Red-tailed hawks sometimes nest in trees, though. that would be so cool...
