    Where to get cypress mulch/bark

    We were at the local Al's Garden Center today and saw some Coco Mulch for sale. We first thought it was coconut but turns out it is cocoa bean shells ground up. Does anyone know anything about it and whether it is okay to use? It was of similar texture to the cypress mulch and appeared to...

    Where to get cypress mulch/bark

    Hey Maggie, just great to see you up here. I just appreciate you and your sis. We always get the poop and pee out as soon as we see it (or smell it -PU!) We use the mulch for quite a while-the bulk of it lasts several months probably originally from October. But sometimes the pee seems to be...

    Hazelnut/Filbert Mulch?

    Flower girl

    Frankie loves it when the boys bring her fresh clover and dandelions from outside. We laugh because she always eats the flowers first. There are lots in her outside enclosure but these are from Sunday when it was raining. The good news is that we got one more dose of sun this week and she has...

    Good hibernation thread for Russians???

    Hi all, I will keep looking but if a moderator can recommend a good previous thread on hibernation. We are debating for Frankie. Her previous owner never did. We did hibernate her last year but she came out seemingly fine and then immediately came down with RNS (and Chris was in China and I...

    Fall rain is such a buzzkill.....

    Hi from Oregon. Our almost summer is apparently coming to an abrupt end. It is @ 64 and rainy today and tomorrow. I feel so bad for Frankie as it is back to the tort table. No more wonderful tort frolic outside all day. She has loved her outside digs-althought we laughed as some days all...

    F!@#$%^&*! Neighbors!!!!

    We balanced eachother's posts today. Our neighbor saved our escapee Russian Frankie today. So we love our neighbor. But really we are lucky. There are few herbicide/pesticide users in our neighborhood as there are so many little children. Our one neighbor who is two houses down always...

    We were warned.....

    Let me preface this with Friday night our older son had an accident on the playground and had to go for stitches so I was all ready on mommy guilt alert. Now that the Oregon weather is on a warm roll. We have been letting our Russian Frankie out in her temporary pen that we built with remaining...

    $50 plant/flower/garden budget per month, what do i get?

    Our Frank is partial to radishes and they are 3-4 weeks from seed to maturity in warm weather so that might be an option. There are about a million seeds in a $1 bag at home depot and you can just scatter them and they will take off.

    Frankie and Bella

    It was unusually warm and beautiful here in Oregon yesterday so Frankie and our boys had a great time outside. But today is back to cool and rain so Frankie had to settle for a stroll around the kitchen and dinner with her friend Bella. Not Bella's best picture as she is a really pretty kitty...
