Something I can let my kids lose on without too much supervision is painting rocks. It sounds silly but they enjoy it and it's not like it's something they can really mess up. Any kind of rock will...

I tried growing them inside a few years ago and failed miserably. My kitchen does not get enough light to have anything survive. I feel like you need a sun box window or a sun room in order to have...

A day or two mudding job ended up being almost a week long. AND they are coming back out today to retouch some spots that look pretty bad. This process is a long one! I'm ready for a vacation and I'm...

We had one at our other house in a subdivision but oddly enough now that we live in a rural area we don't. I guess we're backwards. lol I'd love to have a nice one with a patio around it so we would...

I wish my husband had the imagination and tools to create things that would be helpful around the house for various things. And don't you hate it when you buy something ready to use and it doesn't...

My husband put together two small raised beds for us to plant a few perennial edibles in. We plan to put asparagus in one but unsure about the other. Any recommendations of something else we can add...

We have planted both in the past, but never at the same time. This year we are trying both - pole and bush - at the same time. I hope the crop is better this year than last as last year was just pole...

That's great! We have a family of Pileated around here and we see them in the back yard quite often. I think they are beautiful birds and I always feel lucky to see them. I never thought to take...

Thanks for the information. I might be dreaming but I think I remember my husband buying some kind of a bacteria granule or something and dumping it into the toilet a year or two ago. We didn't talk...

I wish I could. But my kids have pretty rough allergies and putting clothes outside only adds to it. Plus for me it's easier to throw them in the dryer.

I grew up with a clothesline though so I...

My parents had their septic tank cleaned out yesterday. It was the first time in 20 years. Apparently you're supposed to have it done every 5 to 10 years. We have been in our house for 5 years now....

I'm not sure what water primrose is but I know there are certain algaes that you can get fish that feed on it. I have a feed that has this problem every and has to buy more fish for some reason.

One nice feature that our local elementary school started doing this year is if an issue occurs at the school they have an automated system that calls the emergency contact numbers on file for each...

I don't know any tricks but I can commiserate! We grew them a few years in a row and every year the same thing happened - they would grow bigger and bigger and then at the end of July start to turn...

I have checked all of the local nurseries and green houses and super stores. Nothing. BUT good news! My husband spoke with a friend who has a huge plot of asparagus and he passed on the internet...

I'm in Virginia. I don't understand what is going on this year. I bought the few we have on a whim a few years ago and they've just started producing. But we need a lot more to feed our family and...

Oh goodness. A catheter must be so foreign to an animal. I hope he feels better soon. We don't have any cats but I had them growing up and I loved them all very dearly. Good luck!

I'm at my wit's end. I cannot find any asparagus plants this year! We have two that are now two years old but wanted to plant about 20 this year. No local nurseries have any this year. Is there a...

I'd love a riverfront property. Sounds wonderful!

We didn't really know what we wanted until we saw it too. And not everyone would have "loved" this piece since the back portion is swamp land. BUT...

We are scaling back this year. Last year we grew a lot of variety but this year we're doing minimal veggies like cukes, tomatoes, and squash. Corn never does well for us and our soil is horrible for...

Another construction day - this time it's the guys mudding the sheet rock. They showed up an hour late. I keep my lips zipped but sometimes I just want to say "Where the heck have you been?!"

I think that's one of the problems is that my husband wants chickens but doesn't want to actually put them in anything! We also have coyotes in our area (thought not heavily) and foxes too. So I know...

We built our house and moved in 5 years ago last month. Now we are in the middle of finishing two bonus rooms upstairs. It's driving me insane. The workers show up late. Or not at all. No one returns...

My husband has mentioned several times that he'd like to get some chickens. I have no problem with it but I know what will happen - we'll get them and the novelty will wear off and I'll be stuck...

In all honesty I'd love to have about 1000 acres (even owning a small island would be okay). But we had to settle for the next best thing - 22 acres. I'm okay with it and it's in a great location for...
