If You Don't Want to Blog but You Want a Page for your Garden
Comments (7)Nell ~ I love your Azalea walk. Very soothing. I need to make some cuttings from my azaleas, I have two the same, pink and white flowers. Between my blog and my website I don't have time for making more, free or not. It's all I can do to keep up with those two things and reading everyone else's. Maybe this post will inspire others to make pages of their gardens and blooms though. Especially now that it's cold and people are staying indoors more, dreaming about their gardens come spring. It was 48 and felt like it was 42 this morning. For us that is COLD. Have a lovely day ~ FlowerLady...See MoreWhat can I use to kill trees that grow where I don't want them
Comments (1)Are they too large to pull once you notice them? Woody weeds are usually pretty easy to spot and pull. Otherwise, Roundup. It has a very short half-life, and when it enters the soil, it binds to the soil and becomes inert. The microorganisms in the soil then process it and there's no trace left in the soil. I used to be very anti-herbicide till one of my professors gave me the science behind it....See MoreDon't watch this because you don't want to see it
Comments (24)Nasty! Glad I watched it though not surprised. Yes, we're germaphobes but better careful than not. My DH, DD and I went recently to High Point, NC for her soccer tournament. Stayed at a very nice Radisson. In our room, we found pubic hair on our sheets the first night and when we returned from the tournament the 2nd day around 4 pm, we found a condom (unused) in our bathroom sitting on the counter. Definitely not ours! Who the heck knows what went on in our room while we were gone. When we told the manager, he smiled and said, "Oh well, come with me...", took us downstairs and proceeded to credit our card $45 dollars for the trouble! Why $45? Did he think we needed the money? We weren't trying to get a discount! He didn't seem surprised. At another hotel last year, our comforter had a small, silver-dollar sized, almost unnoticeable fresh blood stain on it. Almost missed it because of the flower print on the comforter. It was still wet! I make it a point to inspect the room prior to use. This is how I find these things. Yes, I'm sure there's a lot of junk out there on a daily basis that we are exposed to, but if I can avoid some of them then that's better for me and my family. Just because these things are out there or, because as kids we did worse things than this, doesn't mean I have to let my guard down. Also, on airplanes. I had a couple of flight attendants as patients once. They filled me in on all kinds of stuff. From the blankets to the food. The blankets are used by some very dirty travelers who wrap themselves up in them from head to dirty, smelly, shoeless feet. She said they just re-fold the blankets and set them out again. I think the airlines may be doing things differently now. Someone can set me straight if this has changed....See Morewish to grow some fruit trees but I don't know what to get
Comments (10)Apricots would grow well in that area. Also almonds. Mulberry may be a possibility, but I'd do some research first to make sure you get a good tasting variety. (Black is usually tastier than red or white) A fig tree would be a good idea. (But be aware the trees can get messy with all the fruit dropping and rotting on the ground if you don't pick them) A walnut tree, but don't plant it close to anything else because walnut trees release a substance into the soil to make it difficult for other plants to grow nearby. (Be aware the downside is that a large walnut tree can attract loud flocks of crows) There are many other fruits that you could grow but these are the ones that will grow well where you live....See Moreolpea
