Abigail is really doing better in this cool weather, but Isabelle still wears her out! I have to make her sit down now and then and let Isabelle do all the fetching or she'll run herself into a heart attack.

Then things got too quiet, so I went to check...

It was such a beautiful day here, The dogs and the cats and I spent it in the yard. I was doing some long overdue cleaning and trashing, and the dogs were having a great game of tug and fetch.

Picked from my yard this afternoon. We've had a very mild fall, and only one frost, and that was this weekend. I covered most of the garden because the peppers are still producing. I went to pull some of the feral lemon basil because the cold burned it, even if it was protected, and there...

Ha! Clearly she's a bundle of nerves.

I was under the impression that it wasn't possible to kill vinca! My parents put some in as a ground cover when they built their home back in the sixties, and my sibs and I spent our adolescence pulling periwinkle as punishment every time we got in trouble.

@#$^&*^$!!!
I had a great recipe for rosemary pesto on the computer that was stolen. If I remember correctly, you make it like basil pesto with the garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan, but you replace about half to 2/3 of the olive oil with butter. Oven roast some potatoes, then toss it with the...

You work in a beautiful place! If I stood outside and took pictures of wildlife, it'd be college students with blue hair and facial piercings.
Great pictures!

Here's a really good article about rosemary varieties and hardiness.

The mistake that most people make with potted rosemary is that the soil is too rich and holds too much water. They can survive very nicely over the winter indoors, but make they get sunlight, and don't over water. Now, that doesn't mean no water, just make sure the top of the soil gets dry and...

I noticed last night that my violets are blooming. I'm guessing it's the mild weather.

Star begonia, maybe?

Welcome to the group!
I doubt the tomatoes will make much difference in the pH, I would be more concerned about the possibility of disease than acidity. Tomatoes like it a little acid, anyway.

That's pretty cool Randy. I work in a lab, and we had a film camera set up on one of the microscopes that was finicky and difficult to get to focus correctly. Now everything is digital. Most of the ones around here put the image on a card, then you use a card reader to get it on the computer. My...

I had macro on my old camera, it just wasn't a very powerful camera. This one is really more camera than I need, but I have lusted after the 20x zoom ever since I saw in on another camera. My Great Poo Pet of Love wanted to get me this, he has felt protective since I was robbed, but since he...

I'm already overwintering a hibiscus for a friend who's going to be traveling a lot this winter, so I'm going to have to wait until spring.
Hmmm, although, if they're not too big I could probably keep them on the seed starting rack and use florescent lights on them. Well, no, I can't, can I...

Wow, the Persimmon is stunning, too. You're right, there are a lot of beautiful, beautiful varieties in the Cajun line.

I had evicted that lizard from the house earlier. My storm door doesn't quite fit with the new front door, and there are some small gaps between it and the frame. Gotta get a new one, but in the mean time, the lizards love to get between the storm door and the front door to sun. Every time I...
