Sour bees
Date:January 2, 2012
"I love to garden and spend a lot of time on my landscape. I was working with my Asian gardener in the flower bed and picked up a garden lantern that had tipped over. It had a yellow jacket nest inside. They came at me as I ran backwards. I fell and they got me 3 times. My gardener said to get something bitter and rub on it. I had slices of lemon in the fridge and rubbed them on. It instantly took the sting away and I was able to continue doing what I love for the rest of the afternoon, thanks to some Asian wisdom."

Favorite Plant: weeping camilia-"marge miller"

Favorite Garden Tool: leaf vaccuum
"My husband wanted to know what to get me for our anniversary, I wanted a leaf vaccuum. I love to be in my flower beds and with all of the ornimental trees I have I needed help with the fall leaves. That was 5 years ago. Every year I kiss him and repeat how much I love my troy bilt leaf vaccuum. He thinks I'm crazy but it cuts my work in half if not more. I'm the most happy in my yard and this just leaves me more time to play in the dirt."

Replaced Pony tiller shaft oil seals

"I repaired my P37361 Pony purchased new on April 2 1979 with my Pony repair kit purchased Feburary 1 1982.
After 32 years of tilling one rear oil seal was leaking. So I decided to replace both seals.
After 29 years in storage, my old repair kit contained all of the instruction and parts to make the necessary repairs. Very easy to do following the procedure sheet that came with the repair kit. Fitting the 3/16"sq by 1" key to the rear worm gear on the main drive shaft assembly was a bit challenging, but I managed to align it."

""I love all the surprises that gardening brings each year. I purchased some hanging geranium baskets and a few days later I was bringing them down the water them and I found a barn swallow nest egg. Normally they use mud nests that they build up in my eaves so I guess that they love plants as much as I do!""

"I love adding little statues or sculptures to my garden! I have lizards, birds, and bunnies tucked in among my flowers.
Now O.K., that does not mean I have cartoony junk or (horrors!) GNOMES! I like the natural looking figures, and I tuck them into odd places so they are just kind of peeking out."

Beautiful Yard with Youth
Date:July 12, 2011
Gardening Tip: Show your garden you care
Favorite Plant: Cucumber
"Although I am still quite young there are a few good tips that I have found useful. One being not over watering my garden but at the same time showering it with my affection & appreciation. Caring for my new garden has given me great appreciation for the wonder of nature. I often catch myself thinking about what my grandmother told me about my grandfather's garden " You only get out of it what you put into it""

I love my lawnmower
Date:July 9, 2011
"I used to have trouble with every lawnmower I had in the past. Since I purchased my present Troybilt mower from Lowes , it has given me no trouble. When I first start it usually 2-3 ties ( a lot of times 1 try) and after I going ...every time I stop it , just 1 pull and it starts up. I'm even mowing my neighbors yard when I mow mine. I really LOVE my Troybilt lawnmower."
