See the high second and third numbers. This is the kind of fertilizer to use to get the most blooms and fruit . Want more peppers? Look for those high numbers.

No need to buy shade cloth.

This is my basil and you can see it was starting to bloom. I cut all the flowers off so it will keep growing. If not it will just seed and be done. You must keep plants from flowering if you want a longer growing season.

Alice Cooper has always amazed me. His act and character is so different than who he really is.

This is a must if you want to raise healthy children.

I learned how hard it is to even get Tetanus a long time ago when my kids were at home. No more shots.

I've always known that living in the country is the good life. But I never thought about how lucky the animals out here are too.

I wish I had a portable saw mill. You could make lumber all day long and build.

If I lived in a city with sidewalks and people I would definitely do this. In fact tomorrow when I have to go to the city I am taking some chock.

Have you ever seen this kind of pump?

Fire is burning many acres down by the river not too far from here. They are bringing animals to the fairgrounds in the little town near me. Red Cross had a shelter open for people who have to evacuate. I am safe here but for many years I ran the disaster team so It's in my blood…
