White bean tuna salad on a bed of arugula.

My grandfather grew wheat on the eastern Colorado plains during the Dust Bowl days. I can only imagine how hard that life must have been. I am...

Prairie madness was for real. Living here on the plains next to the mountains, the wind is unnerving especially at night. After experiencing wind...

It is a grain bowl night - black beans, farro, sweet potato with cabbage and cilantro and an avocado crema sauce.

I belong to a couple of "horticulture" groups and all have very good online presence. It is funny though that most members are older I guess because...

When we were only 23, we bought a 1903 Sears catalog house in downtown San Antonio with the naive hopes of restoring it. During that time, DH bought...

Since I like to save seeds, I no longer buy or plant hybrids unless it is a veggie that grows well here.

A previous resident of this house must have planted cosmos seeds. Every year, they pop up in my meadow area and create a sea of chaotic color.

DH thinks I am nuts when I look for seeds or cuttings everywhere I go. I just did a dumb thing and signed myself up to be on a garden tour in August...

Me too. I love growing plants from seeds and have them all over the house. I love watching the soil move as the little seed heads poke out.

This worries me as much as anything. Safeguards and expertise on the topic are being dismantled so quickly because "climate change" is on Trump's...

Wondering about my 81 yr old brother in STL. Hope it wasn't as bad as predicted.

The IRA DH inherited a year ago was half invested in Nvidia stock which did quite well...until it didn't. I kept telling DH we need to move that...

I watched the animated movie "Flow" last night. It is so strikingly original that I couldn't stop watching. I read that people's pets watch it too I...

You must have a wily cat to have avoided them prior to now. We live in an ordinary inner city neighborhood and one day while looking out the kitchen...

Just talked to my older brother who is a Vietnam vet (Green Beret). He utilizes the VA services near him for lots of things he mentioned today -...

Blahs indeed...I suppose that is why I am driven to start hundreds of seeds inside every winter. Hope springs eternal.

Snowed in so trying to get creative with pantry and freezer stuff. Orechiette with Italian sausage, roasted butternut, spinach and parmesan. Citrus...

Both parties have morphed into aberrations of their former selves. Neither one is worth discussing.

I think I stepped out of mine when we moved to another state after forty years in one place a few years back. It was frightening and exciting at the...

I grew up in an old money enclave - though of the Texas type. Classmates descended from original settlers who inherited huge legacy ranches, oil...
