OT for Donn, Trudi, LovelyCherry and any other Long Islanders
Comments (3)Thanks for the invitation, Nancy, but I'm afraid my day is full. Weather permitting, I'll be in the garden from dawn until dusk. If the weather's bad, I'll be chopping plaster from my living room ceiling. I hate to say it, but on a summer weekend, the North Fork is my second least favorite place to drive on Long Island. Only the South Fork is worse....See MoreOT: POTD: Tis the season for............
Comments (6)Karyn, I have them all in the green room ;-) Even dug out the ones that were growing outside all summer. Kristy leaves hers in...but I am scared that the soil will stay to wet anytime during the winter and they will rot. This one was one of them that grew in the ground. So I am SO LUCKY :-) Lucy...See MoreBrug season has ended & OT pics
Comments (15)I still couldn't enlarge the thumbnails and the links failed as well. I get this message with about half of the thumbnails that people post: "The action that you were trying to perform has failed." It might be the computer I'm on. I've never paid attention if it happens with all the computers or just some. There's 4 PC's and a laptop that I use. It just depends on where in the house I am when I go online. The problems started after Photobucket changed the format, then changed back. If it wasn't such an easy image host I'd switch but the others like Picassa are too confusing for me....See MoreOT finding sour cherries
Comments (4)This would be pretty far to travel, but I make a pilgrimage to Columbia County, NY (Hudson region) each year for my sour cherries, and that's over three hours away from me! If you are game, I recommend Love Apple Farm in Ghent and Samascott Orchards in Kinderhook. According to their websites, fresh sour cherries are still being picked right now, but if you miss the season, Samascott sells frozen pitted sour cherries in small pails. Good luck!
