Wind Chimes
Comments (26)I'll cast my vote for them also! I have several in my garden, but because of its small size and the amount of enclosure they don't get very much wind so I only hear them occasionally. I have one that is quite tiny and makes the most beautiful sounds.....I have that one on my porch so I CAN hear it when it catches the breeze. My sister has a very Asian style garden and although she doesn't follow Feng Shui in the strictest sense, she has a bamboo wind chime that makes the most amazing, deep mellow sound! When I was growing up my mom had one of those little glass wind chimes you could find at the Oriental import stores hanging in the patio outside my bedroom window. I used to fall asleep listening to it. One night, she, my older brother and I went to see a movie....'Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte' with Bette Davis. If you remember, this was a pretty scary movie and I was at a very impressionable age. Anyway, there was one of those same wind chimes in the movie and it would always be tinkling when something terrifying was about to happen. Of course when we got home and I was getting settled for the night, my brother had to go mess with our wind chime to give me a huge scare!! Hearing one of those to this day....decades later.....still makes me shiver. Like scents, I think certain sounds can be very evocative and they can most definitely trigger memories!!...See MoreUPDATE: 7300 Traveling Daylilies- working on Valentine's swap
Comments (102)Hello all, It looks like everyone had a great valentine swap. Great boxes everyone. My surgery went well and I am recovering quickly. Still not allowed to do much. The doc said you can return to your normal routine but don't push, pull, or pick up any thing over 5 pounds so hey, whats left. Normal????? I am trying desperately to be good. I am doing mostly computer work at the nursery trying to get my website and ebay store ready for opening soon. I have a friend that is helping me with heavy labor and I am getting to boss him around so that is nice :O) LOL. I got in a huge order of plants today and had to get them all ready for the cold snap, so I have been busier than I wanted to but all is going well. The hardest part will be not over doing it before time. Thanks for all the inquiry's. One thing I wanted to mention was the fact that a couple days ago I came home and found a box in my front yard. It was from our sweetheart Jo. She said that I had the most votes from those that chose to vote for the best xmas box. I was floored when I opened it. It contained the most beautiful throw. It is made of fleece material and is reversible with red daylilies on one side and a beige/green fleece on the backside. It is sooooo cool as it is not sewn but cut on the edges and tied together every inch or so. Never seen one made like it and it is sooooo warm and cozy, and soooo pretty. My yorkie has been fighting me for it ever since it came! Also in the box was a beautiful hand made (of course from Jo) angel. It is sitting on my mantle right now. She also included a nice corn bag. Just pop in the microwave and place on a sore or tired muscle for instant relief. Very nice. It has been quite handy the last couple days for my abdomen. Thanks sooooo much Jo. My camera stuff is still at work so I haven't taken pics yet but I will and I will show everyone the wonderful suprise gifts that I recieved. Thanks so much Jo for your generosity and thoughtfullness and thank you all for the votes that I never expected. It was a beautiful surprise. I also gave my notice to my job. My last day will be the 28th officially even though I can't really return anyway for atleast 6 weeks. I have left my position to focus full time on getting the nursery open. My open date is still March 18th. Hope I can recover and get everything done in that amount of time. It will be close enough what ever I get done. My career has changed, I am now an unemployed/self employed nursery owner. I finally got my license and all the other paperwork done and I am on a new road. Anyway guess that catches me up. I am guessing that I will be out of the corner in april so I hope to get back in the loop then. Take care Tanarae...See MoreWasps, wasps, wasp!
Comments (41)in my family, we always used "black salve" and that seems to work really quickly. I disagree. You may get results because it burns the area you put it on but can leave a scar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_salve Please be nice to honeybees! You don't need to run from them or squash them they are your friends. These bees are the big fat ones. If one lands on you, shoo it away sideways don't try to squish it. If you try to squish it, it will sting you in defense and lose its stinger and dies later. They only get one sting. Wasps on the other hand are carnivores and will bite and sting you for their own pleasure. Avoid them, and squashing them is totally OK! I prefer to play tennis with them with the fly swatter then step on them. If they land on you you will most likely get stung. You know that term Bee-line yea they gave it that name as you guys have mentioned they dive bomb you in a straight line sometimes. If you want to really not sleep at night, you can worry about the Asian Giant Hornet. Pray that it never ends up gaining a foothold here and stays over in Asia. These things are a menace and kill 30-40 people a year over there....See MoreIdeas for wind/cold tough, hardy small flowering trees
Comments (24)You have a lot going on with Black pine. If it's a seedling then you have roots that you want. The problem with Pinus thunbergii is humidity. That's where your plant will first become weakened. Then it's a chain of events. The humidity will lead to foliar diseases which upon insects will become attracted (immune system is failing) and when the species can't hack it anymore it will eventually die. Now that being said, if you bought a grafted Pinus thunbergii and do not know what the roots are that it is grafted onto, you may not have a compatible root-system for your soil. That attraction to Japanese black pine because of salt tolerance can easily be thrown out the window if it's not on Japanese black pine roots. Pines are easily grafted on other species, and that is what I'm talking about. No matter what though, whichever root system is in place, the foliage of Pinus thunbergii/Japanese black pine will not tolerate in the long run humidity. That pine will shut down just like that Prunus you bought. 15-years tops. You may get six or eight good years out of it before the needle issues fully develop. Sorry to pass along the bad news. There are people chiming in on this thread like myself that have been doing this stuff nearly 100% as a hobby/line of work for a long time or a very long time. Dax...See Moreluvprimrose
