March 8, 2008 (Happy Birthday Bullseye) With my birthday on Monday (Happy 50th yippee) we decided to have bonfire breakfast this weekend. What a day to have it—we could barely see each other, it was snowing so hard (well that’s exaggerating a little bit but not too much).

From Here to There.....and Back. #5: Water, water everywhere
Water, water, everywhere…or how to get it there When water is available but far removed from the growing sites it is useful to have a convenient way of extending the source to accommodate the location of those sites.

The water pressure I have is rather high and has a tendency to blow hoses out, even the ...

Just a few flower pics to brighten your day
Here are a few of the flowers in my garden: I grew a bunch of beautiful sunflowers by complete accident…There were some left-over seeds from the chickie feed in our compost which we spread on the potato garden and we ended up with a beautiful sunflower garden. Crocus are one of my favourite flowers…they introduce spring. Bright orange lilies shure light up a dark corner of the garden. Not a flower but just as bright is my Coral Reef Sedum growing in my ...
