Saved 5 Shallots 'Dutch Yellow' Harvesting and Party in the Back garden

Well, It's Settled 6 Unhappy Party in the Back garden and Business in Front garden

I visited my parents a week or so ago. We finally had the talk about whether I could really make this house work financially and I had to say I didn’t think it was likely I could (in this economy, anyway). So the house is going on the market in Fall. The advantages and disadvantages are div...

Preparing for the Inevitable 4 Party in the Back garden , The Waiting Room garden , and Business in Front garden

Lawn Gone To Seed 1 Party in the Back garden

I haven’t made Folia entries for my lawn because it’s composed of a couple species and the company doesn’t tell you which they are. Some sort of fescue for sure. Anyway, at least one of those species has gone to seed right now. I think another one may have kicked it off a couple...
