This morning I walked around my yard and snapped a bunch of pictures for bloom day. Then I decided I didn’t really care all that much about the pictures I took. So this afternoon, Judy and I headed over to our friend Eve’s place so we could take pictures of her garden. As you can see, Eve and her husband Dave live out in the country, and I’m ever so slightly envious of their lovely spot. However, I’m not at all envious of the amount of work...

It’s not really a big secret that I am not a plant geek. In fact, up until a few years ago, I never had much use for flowers. There. I said it.

If you have any videos of the CobraHead in action in your garden, we would love to see them! We may even post them here!

Well, it’s harvest time again, and the fruit flies are starting to find their way into the kitchen. They have also managed to find their way back into my worm bin, and I’m not totally cool with that. I don’t think Phil minds too much, but I’m not terribly fond of the little buggers. So now I guess it’s time to set up the traps again. There are plenty of different techniques for making fruit fly traps, but this one has worked pretty...
