I should probably add this baby to a gallery for my orchids and gardening website, but for now, I’ll just post it here. We found this hickory horned devil at the base of our huge ash tree. It’s stage 5-instar, so it was probably looking to burrow into the ground to pupate for the winter. […]

Garden Harvest
Posted in food, gardening, tagged food, gardening on July 25, 2009 | 9 Comments »
This time of year, harvesting the fruits and veggies is a daily task. I went out at 8 am, to do harvest duty. I got a few peppers (yellow banana, and cayenne), two eggplants, a handful of cherry tomatoes, and another handful of Kentucky Wonder green beans. Many more peppers can be picked any time […]
I come from one of the only two states in the nation in which it’s illegal to pump your own gas. I didn’t know about the little switch on the gas pump handle that makes it hold there to a faster or slower pump rate. Pre-paying for gas was a foreign concept to me. It […]

Now I know why this place is so popular. The garden center part of it is alright, for selection, and has competitive prices, but other places are probably better — Buckmann’s for instance. The indoors, grocery part, is great for fresh produce! I got three quarts of their own strawberries, a huge head of red […]

. . . are available on The Orchid Place. I have a new “Garden 2009” gallery uploaded, as well as a “Roses 2009” gallery. I’m really beginning to love the Jalbum software I use to compile these galleries. At least Jalbum doesn’t force me to store them on their servers and link over to them. […]

While we blew our entire holiday weekend working on the old house, three of my roses at the new place decided to bloom. Rose prOn ahead: proceed with caution.
First Rose of the Year

As much as I dislike orange, this one’s not so bad. It was just there among the foundation plantings the previous owner had. Judging by all the other roses, some I planted, and others that were already there, it should only be another week or two before the place starts to pop with blooms. The […]
New Garden Post on The-Orchid-Place

It’s about veggie gardening at our new house, so skip it if you couldn’t care less. You won’t hurt my feelings in the least. That’s not why people visit The Rusty Nail, anyway. I had to change the blog theme, since the one I liked a lot, and originally installed, refused to format multiple paragraphs […]

A funny thing happened on the way to the orchids. Some of you may know that my brother died roughly a year and a half ago. Remember all that bullshit with Nicky railing on and on for weeks about me fucking his corpse, then his ashes? My brother used to host my orchid website for […]
