I was pleasantly surprised to find Myanmar rich in village culture. Since I was there during the same trip I was in Cambodia, where Angkor Wat dominated, I wasn't sure what to expect.
Found the best squash I have ever tasted. I shop at Larry's in season for all the stuff that either I or a friend/fellow gardener don't grow. Larry's is just fun, grab one of their wheel barrows and start cruising down the aisles.
Last fall I decided to experiment with three different cover crops for my raised vegetable beds. A cover crop serves multiple purposes, including by serving as a green manure that replenishes soil as well as provides weed suppression.
The past few years I've seen more lizards (Sceloporus) running across my yard starting in the spring and lasting through the fall since lizards hibernate during the winter. The most common lizards in our area are fence lizards, also known as the blue belly lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis).
