Our crawfish boil 2010 was a big success! Here are pictures of the cook and the food! I got so busy though, I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the night. Maybe next time. Read Full Story

We grow our own grapes for jelly making here in our little Oklahoma garden. We have six grapevines that we bought from Lowes and they have produced nicely for several years. This will be my second year to make jelly. First wash the grapes thoroughly. The easiest way to extract the juice from your homegrown grapes is to first place the grapes in a food processor. Pulse the processor as many times as necessary to gently crush the grapes. Don't overdo it. Now pour the grapes into a pot... Read Full Story

Barring the birds and other pests, it looks like this year we're going to have another pretty good crop of grapes. More homemade grape jelly for us! I just picked my first round yesterday. I brought them in and enlisted my daughter's help to remove all the bad grapes and stems. I washed them off in a large strainer and let them sit overnight. Tonight, I washed the grapes again and have mashed all the juice out which I will freeze until all the rest of the grapes decide to ripen. Check... Read Full Story

For the umpteenth time we re-did our pond waterfall. Well, maybe it was four times that we re-thought that waterfall. Each time having to remove bolder after bolder out of the way - very heavy stuff and back breaking work. You see, we kept losing water and couldn't figure out why. Finally I did some serious research. The first three times we "fixed" the waterfall never did we realize the liner was key. We had used the liner for the actual pond section only. We had constructed the waterfall... Read Full Story

Look what I found when giving my backyard pond a facelift. Tucked inside a concrete block, I stuck my hand in and he slimed me. I'm not sure how a bullfrog makes it to town, but here's the proof. Looks like we have yet another pet! Read Full Story

Growing the herb lemon balm is pretty simple. All you need is a large planter, a couple of lemon balm plants or a packet of seed, and Miracle grow potting mix. I picked this planter up at Walmart for about $25.00. (It's plastic but you can't tell it!) After a couple of seasons your efforts will look this this. I actually had some chives and a couple of other herbs planted, but as you can see the lemon balm won. Read Full Story

And here it is: This perennial is called a Gaillardia. The common name is Arizona Sun. I have been pleasantly surprised by it. We bought two from Lowe's last summer and they stayed green throughout the winter here and then promptly began blooming in April of this year. This year both plants are three times their purchase size. I'm thinking I need about 4 or 5 more to complete my front border. I really like this! I have not seen them at Lowe's so far this year. I'm going to keep checking back... Read Full Story
