Mine didn't do well this year. Of course getting mowed over a couple of times may be at the root of that but I would like to move the bed. Anybody know when it is safe to transplant asparagus?

I've moved mine after the last frost but keep them covered, they are about 4 years now,

Squash is one of the things I can grow here just by tossing the seeds in the soil and walking away from them.

I grew a giant butternut plant in my compost bins this year. I didn't do anything, must be there were some seeds in the pile somewhere. Got one ripe one for sure (made into squash, apple, onion soup) and a bunch I'm not sure of. Might make OK soup, maybe not as good for baked (which I don't like anyway).

I had a volunteer tomato come up in the middle of our driveway in September. Kept an eye on it and it actually bloomed and had little nickel sized 'maters on it till the killing frost took it. I was rooting for it to give me ripe tomatoes before that happened.

I loaned my Yorkie ,Twinkle, to my Mom because she fell in love with the dog. Never had her own. Now that mom passed on, no one seems to know where my dog is. Apparently she hasn't been around for a month. So pissed off.

Maybe a friend of hers ?

I love hanging with the hens in you yard doing pruning, weeding, etc. They follow me like a shadow. Only time they disappear is for a nice dust bath. They are spoiled and pretty much hand fed. Meal worms, avacado, corn, cracked corn, sunflower seeds, small amount of left over cat food. Layer feed is frowned upon by them ( it may be rancid?) My oldest hen is lame, so I carry her everywhere in a card board box and help her free range with the other two. Three is my healthy limit for my income and attention.

Capricornfarm... get in touch with the executor or executive of her estate/ will. You should be able to learn where your Yorke Twinkle is. They have to inform the attorney and family on distribution of your Mom's estate and assets.
