Do you grow in the house or a greenhouse? Or only outside garden?

My green house. I let some wild fireweed grow and bloom along with the veggies. Tomato plant in the right of the photo.

Forget-me-nots in my flower garden, the state flower of Alaska. Just south of Anchorage on a pond, a family of wild swans.

I am starting to wonder if I will get any tomatoes. We are in the 50s again today.... I do have lots of flowers, maybe a bucket of green tomatoes still growing in size..... The cucumbers did pretty well actually, just had 2 vines... but steady cucumbers.

It is time for us to mow... 2nd or 3rd time this summer. No joke

Keep us updated too.

I am fine... just quiet and busy. Kids keep growing, always less money and just less get up and go....

If you have that much coal and ash being produced, then the fire isn't efficient. A better designed stove will burn more of the wood, leave you with zero or close to zero coals, and only a little ash. A well designed stove forces the smoke from the fire to circulate and reburn (or has a...

Oh... all outdoor pipes/spigots here are the kind that don't freeze.

You leave your hose OUTSIDE???? Back when we had horses we stored the hose inside, in the guest shower which was upstairs. Once a week we would hook one end to the sink, and roll out the 300 feet of hose from the upstairs bathroom window, have a kid lug it to the barn and put one end in...

You don't use a hose? Oh human who lives where it is warm?

Same here. Can't manage to do much going about when it is both dark and cold. Dog woke me up at 4am... he had to go pee.... dog is getting old. Sigh. I hate the "declining older dog" phase. It took me a long time to get back to sleep... then I slept like a rock until 9:30... no sun...

Ah... I do always do some gardening... And I have pot plants. I had a horrid some kind of bug infestation this past summer... that is what I get, buying a few things from a green house instead of only growing from seed. My jade plant still looks sad. But my thyme plant is looking...

I dunno.... just feel like... what should i post about?? I am down to very few animals, just some chickens.. ... Make me feel very city-esque... What am I going to post about? Same view... lots of snow... blah... I now just do church and paperwork. Right now I am procrastinating ... I...

Well, some more photos for ya. Sunrise at 10:17am Right before, noon on January 6th.. so close to the highest point the sun will reach.

That is a lamb at the top Both say, at the top: "Son of J. B. & S. E. Elms" Names back then were NOT very original. So the father would probably be John Benjamin, and the mother Sarah Elisabeth. The second photo, the older grave, has only the death date, March 19 1874 and no age at...

Yep, good advice from the vet. Horses need slow feed changes. I am glad she is giving you love!!!

One year I harvested a huge amount of onions... I set then out to dry where I THOUGHT they were protected from freezing, and I was wrong. Disappointing... but at least we learn. :D

Frustrating! Were they not properly ripe, or for whatever reason didn't store right?

Here too
