Gardening: Weed vs flower
Does anyone know if this is a perennial or just a weed? It came up in a raised bed where I have thrown numerous flower seeds. I think it is a weed but before I hit it with a weed killer, I would like your opinions. Thanks, Teresa

Wildlife & Animals: Does anyone know what kind of bird nests these are?
We have lots of different kinds of birds here in zone 7 or 8. Some say we are zone 7, others say zone 8. I believe we have been reclassified as zone 8 here in Willow Springs NC.

New potatoes
As an experiment, I planted a 2nd crop of new potatoes in a raised bed during the month of July. I was amazed when I dug under one of them last week. I easily peeled the skin off on one of them just to see how easy or difficult it would be on such a late crop. They were so good!

Gardening: Easter cactus
This cactus was given to me a 3-4 yrs ago. It has grown a lot and looked good every year until now. It is wilting away and I have done all I know to do. Any ideas? I would really like to save it if at all possible. It blooms white with a touch of pinkish/purple. I am guessing it is an Easter cactus but not really sure.
