Asparagus question: I have read that I should cut it back when it turns brown. I live in zone 8 and have barely had a frost. My plants are mostly still green with a little yellow on top.
Should I cut it back now or wait?
In zone 6 in Md, can anyone tell me about planting Elderberry?
Thanks for this thread!
Listening to Mark Steyn keeps me from overwatering the aloe plant.
We’ve been enjoying unseasonably warm weather over the past week here in Central Missouri.
Judy came home on Wednesday so I’m going fishing tomorrow. It’s too muddy to do anything worthwhile in the garden anyway... lol
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Calling all knitters or sewers, the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue in Charlotte, North Carolina is looking to donate hundreds of homemade nests to animals injured in Australia’s bushfire.
The North Carolina rescue group said they already have hundreds of nests from their initial plea for homemade nests, but still need many more.
“We were so blessed with all of your efforts during our plea for knitted nests. Now we see that the animals in Australia are asking for your talents again. In some small way it helps us to be able to contribute so I wanted to share,” the rescue group said.
If you’re local you can drop items off at the rescue and they can add them to their packages.
If you’d like to sponsor postage for this project, please send an email to waterfowlrescue@aol.com.

‘Old Coots’ Give Free Advice Every Saturday At Local Market
They say age brings wisdom, and a group of geezers in Salt Lake City have discovered that their wisdom is a hot commodity. Every weekend, these “old coots” dole out advice to the lost, lovelorn and confused.
Sitting Around and Talking
At Tony Caputo’s deli in Salt Lake City, there was always a group of people instantly recognizable at any restaurant, café or diner the world over. It’s a group of older people who offer running commentary on anyone and everything.
In this case, it was deli owner Tony Caputo who headed this group. The six men and one woman met every Saturday to drink coffee and talk about the world.
It Started as a Joke
One day, Caputo declared that they were so good at solving the world’s problems, they should start offering their advice to others. Caputo then announced he had set up a booth at a weekly farmer’s market.
Their banner read, “Old Coots Giving Advice.” A disclaimer underneath added, “It’s probably bad advice, but it’s free.”
