Coneflowers don't usually flower the first year so what you are seeing is very normal.

Those could be seedlings from the dropped seeds of the old flowers. They will probably flower next year.

I had family over yesterday and we all sat around and tried to pronounce 'owl' with one syllable. None of us could do it 😆.

Ha! They aren't too difficult to make!

Thanks!! I saw these on Pinterest years ago and I've been making them every Halloween since.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks!! My son said they are the best cookies he's ever had lol

Thank you!🖤

Thanks, Mike!

Round sugar cookies on a wire rack all decorated with white and black icing. They are decorated as spider webs, ghosts, and Jack Skellington.

Made some Halloween sugar cookies this morning 👻🎃

As a fellow NYer and woman, I must side with your wife 😆. Though I personally don't think there is a right or wrong way - just different regional dialects

Thank you 💚

So what's the verdict?

My husband agrees but we grew up in the same small town together so idk if that counts for your survey 😆

Ugh same! As soon as my nails get a little length something happens and I have to trim them all back again 😅

Two syllables - grew up in NY

A glass jar filled with ingredients for fire cider including fresh cayenne pepper, sage, rosemary, orange, lemon, onion, garlic, and horseradish.

Happy birthday!!

Monster Mash is so fun! it never gets old. Rocky Horror is always a must watch during October 😆

I drink most of the fruity or herbal ones with sparkling water. For the garlicky oxymels, I just shoot them straight or make a salad dressing with them.

I hope you are enjoying your birthday! 🎉

I make so many oxymels - they're my favorite! Rose and Hawthorn berry with Champagne vinegar is sooo good.

Thank you!

It's not too hard but I did chip a nail 🙃. I wouldn't want to process more than 2 or 3 cobs at a time.

Happiest birthday to you!! 🎉🎂

I used a spice grinder! It worked really well. I'm going to get a mill for bigger batches though.

Thanks!!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Happy autumn 🎃

Thank you!! @rumblebee.bsky.social recommended that recipe too. I'm definitely going to give it a try with the cream!
