I had the same thing happen yesterday morning! They forecasted the low to be 41°, and when I got up and looked at the thermometer, it said 36° and there was frost on the top of my truck. So, I sprinted around watering all my plants. I didn't see any frost on any plants, but was still terrified I...

HAHAHA!!! I've heard that they like to be close, which is part of the reason I'm not concerned. The other reason is that I have lots of space set aside for companion plants (flowers and herbs), so I could put peppers in as well. I am planning on putting all 23 hot peppers in one 3'x12' bed, so...

That was how I read it at first, too and it made me chuckle! I should definitely try this! It probably would have made planting my soaked beet seeds easier, more uniform, and less crowded. Today, I went into the garden and moved all the seedlings to where they will be planted. I counted my...

The chicks turned 6 weeks old today. We got the coop finished up, and the run just had some finishing touches. Because the coop is done, the chickies got moved into their forever home! So, those stinkers are finally OUT of the garage! I'm trying not to be paranoid that we didn't predator-proof...

Nope, not mullein. If I had a picture of mullein on my phone, I'd add it here, but I'll have to try to remember to get a picture of it tomorrow. Today, I got to pick out a free bouquet of yellow roses that were passing their prime. I'm not normally a cut-flower/bouquet sort of gal, but they...

Thank you! It's been a lot of hard work, that's for sure! Oh! Good to know! Sorry you had to go through that! Maybe... that would definitely seal up those gaps better. I'll be talking with my husband about that! They are in a brooder in the garage that has window screens for the roof and...

OH! I should have thought of hand warmers! When I was talking with my husband, I said, "What would we do? Me snuggling them all night is NOT an option because they are gross." :gig I'm just happy that it seemed to stay in the woods! Probably everywhere... here's a picture of the coop. The...

Thank you for the help identifying them!! The first caterpillar I found was when the chicks were in their outdoor pen, and they all freaked out about it. I scooped it out before they could get too curious. Then, 2 more appeared around the house. And those flies are freaking everywhere this year...

We sprayed the trees last night with the BT spray to get ahead of the gypsy/spongy moth caterpillars. I doused the little trees, and got as much of the big trees as I could. A few days ago, I found this beautiful blossom on one of our old apple trees: All my seedlings are officially living...

Oh my gosh! That sounds incredible!!:drool Definitely DO NOT burn poison ivy. I know someone who did, and they had such a bad (thankfully, only external) reaction to it that they couldn't really bend their knees for A MONTH!! Her legs were super swollen with a really bad rash. It just...

Ah! That makes a lot of sense! It is a Black Copper Marans.

The price on the brand's website was good, but not unbelievable. It was their whole website that had me skeptical. And a huge THANK YOU for the help! I couldn't remember who gave me the tip... What are the dog crates for? I tried mowing the lawn yesterday, but rain decided to appear... I got a...

That's the grass that invades my garden beds! And the pointy parts hurt if they poke you. I love it outside of my garden, though! It's so lush and soft!

The big box stores near me don't carry it in a large enough amount to be worth buying, unless in dire need. The Arbico Organics place had the gallon size for a better price than I had been seeing AND they gave me $5 off. So, I'm just waiting, now. I'm excited to do something to get at these...

I may have started getting lost on their website because they have a bunch of cool things! I am pretty sure Garden Supplies Math is a real thing! "I need BT spray, that's it.... Oh, LOOK! Beneficial insects! And season extenders! And......."

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to see the Aurora. Last night, I got to see them! They were faint, and we had clouds and rain when they were supposed to be at peak, but I was so happy I finally got to see them that I may have shed a few tears of happiness! They showed up really well in...

I saved nasturtium seeds last year. I wasn't expecting them to germinate because they weren't in the greatest condition when I scooped them off the ground (lots were spongy even after drying for a few weeks). But quite a few did germinate, and I am going to try to save a ton more this year!

Too true! And lots of people wouldn't even think about that. They say BT doesn't affect anything beneficial, but I take that with a grain of salt. We have such a bad problem with gypsy/spongy moth caterpillars that I need something that is more targeted to them.

QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BOUGHT IT BEFORE: Where do you get your BT spray? I really need to get some, and would prefer to get some version of bulk because we have a lot of fruit trees (some quite large) and a problem with gypsy/spongy moth caterpillars.

I did the same thing! Started soaking seeds, and then realized I had to dig tons of grass out of the beds they were going in. So, I poured out the water, and they sprouted under moist paper towel in a plastic container. And I didn't have to wonder if they would germinate or if I would have to...
