And again, life goes on in spite of all the work I need to do in the garden. Luckily, no matter what I do or don’t do, nature will take over and do its thing. I’m just its most reliable tool. Now it’s too hot to do a lot of things that I wasn’t able […]
It’s really not that hard. All you have to do is fill a container about half way with compost and then fill it the rest of the way with water. Then just let it sit. And sit… After a couple of weeks, you can dilute it to spray on your plants as a foliar feed. […]
Oh good grief! I just can’t catch up! I barely got anything done in May off my list of chores so most of it will have to carry over to June. I am, however, calling in extra troops – I’m going to have 1-2-Tree to limb up and thin all the trees. That will be […]
Guess what we did this weekend! Go ahead and guess. I’ll wait. We scooped poop. A lot of it. We had to clean out the chicken run and, because of one thing or another, we were running a bit behind schedule. It really should have been done at least a month earlier, but this was […]
I would advise that you try to find a way to embrace the diversity of wildlife that comes to your yard, but if you have a few animals that are just not considerate to the landscape and ruin things for everyone else, there are solutions. Try some of these: Armadillos – use live traps to […]
Sure, you can make your own concoction and it will be cheaper, but Howard Garret makes it so easy! Spraying with ‘Garrett Juice’ is one of the things I try to do regularly in my garden and the roses and veggies especially love it! It is an incredible folliar feed. I went for a couple […]
Finish April’s chores! Isn’t that the way it always is? Spray Roses and crepe myrtles with baking soda spray weekly to control black spot and fungus. Mow weekly, tune up mower and sharpen blades. Pot up extra seedlings to give away. Give bad bugs a soapy bath. Pull dandelions to feed to chickens and bearded […]
Every year around this time, we release ladybugs. This year, we were having a hard time finding them. Everywhere we went had just sold out. But we finally found some at the Elliot’s Hardware booth at the Living Green Expo in Plano. I really could have used them a few weeks earlier, but hopefully my […]
I love dragonflies. I once saw one take down a fly that was almost as big as it was. I love watching them. They are like little helicopters in their movements. This one was a regular in our back yard a couple of years ago. As near as I can tell, it is some sort […]
A friend, Julie, asked to borrow a tiller the other day in order to till up part of her yard for a garden. I don’t till. I do have an antique tiller that worked quite well for my mother, but I’m too lazy (and environmentally conservative) to till. I don’t want to hurt my earthworms, […]
Typograph is a standards compliant theme with a JQuery powered tabbed sidebar box and an ad under the first post on the index page. This theme has no images and is purely based on CSS elements and typography. Ideal for future customization. Typograph was styled "from the ground up" on a highly customized version of the Sandbox theme.
Designed by Morten Rand-Hendriksen - designer, information philosopher and author based out of Burnaby, BC.
You can change the contents of the tabbed box by editing the tabbedBox.php file located in the Typograph theme directory.
