Simple recipe I found at Mexican Please website. I haven't made this particular recipe, so I don't know how it tastes, but it sure is pretty!🙂 Anyway, it looks like an easy recipe, especially for someone looking to make their first sauce. If you end up trying it, please leave your comments...

Good morning. It's sunny and 70F, on its way to 90F. Calling for hot with plenty of sun. Better than rain, at least for now. Noticed increased hawk activity around the place, since the pullets arrived. Decided to cover their run with netting. It's about 12x24, but went pretty smoothly. Still...

Good morning. It's sunny and 59F, on its way to 85F. Calling for mostly sunny and less humid. Yay - no rain today, but another thunderstorm rolled through yesterday. Knocked power out for 3 hours. Came back on in time for dinner, thankfully. Now that blistering heat you guys have been...

The last pic reminds me of an inchworm, kinda, but inchworms don't eat aphids. They will chew on your plants though.

Good morning. It's sunny and 76F, on its way to 88F. Calling for partly sunny, with possible thunderstorms this afternoon. One of those thunderstorms hit yesterday, dumping 0.60" of rain in about 20 minutes. Ground is saturated, so the water is just sitting in puddles. And with all this rain...

Good morning. It's sunny and 67F, on its way to 85F. Calling for sun and clouds, possible thunderstorm this afternoon. Paperwork this morning, Dr's appointment this afternoon, futzing in between. Hope everybody has a wonderful Wednesday. Be safe out there and enjoy the weather.

@wayright Happy Birthday, Kev! Hope all is well.

Sounds like things are working out for ol' Cadillac! Great news, DW!

Good morning. It's cloudy, foggy, and 66F, on its way to 84F. Calling for showers this morning, showers/thunderstorms this afternoon. Just what we need - more rain. Looks like another futzing day, maybe in the basement today. Hope everybody has a terrific Tuesday. Be safe out there and enjoy...

Another thing - It looks like that was an "indoor" plant. If so, don't forget you need to introduce it to sunshine gradually (harden-off). Otherwise, the sun will fry it. Good luck with it!

Good morning. It's cloudy and 64F, on its way to 71F. Calling for showers/thunderstorms this afternoon. We received 3+ inches of rain over the weekend. Everything is soaked. Standing water everywhere. Who knows when I'll get to the garden. BBQ comp was good. Judged some pretty good stuff, all in...

Good morning. It's sunny and 75F, on its way to 88F. Calling for humid with variable clouds. Chance of showers/thunderstorms this afternoon. Started building a new gate for the chicken run yesterday. Probably 1/2 done. Will finish it next week, as we are leaving for a BBQ comp shortly. Hang in...

Good morning. It's sunny and 70F, on its way to 90F. Calling for hazy sun and hot. Went down to the garden yesterday. A deer (or two) jumped the fence and enjoyed themselves. Eight bushes of blueberries picked clean. 20 ft row of blackberries completely defoliated up to about 5 ft. There's still...

Good morning. It's sunny and 60F, on its way to 85F. Calling for mostly sunny and hazy, smoke from distant wildfires. Plan on working in the garden today. Shoot, I might even plant something, lol. Sorry to hear about your plants, Catherine. Beans are always good! Hope everybody has a wonderful...

Sorry to read about your eBay experience, HP. Some people will do anything for a buck.🤬 Anyway, when people ask about where to buy seeds, I'll point them to this post. It's not a list of every seed peddler known to man, but all of them are believed to be reputable. Seed Vendor List There's...
