Starting to panic
Comments (13)Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I need lots of it! Jan, would you believe I use my mini-van (with all the seats out). Thank goodness it is only 13 miles from me, and I can set up all day on Friday, so I usually make about 4 or 5 trips to get it all there. And I can pack a van like no other - hubby cannot believe all I can pile in there. I call it my truck. Kim - welcome to my life - sounds like yours is much the same. My spot (a double space) is $150 for 2 days, but very well attended show (and they bring lots of money). Hope you do well! I look forward to seeing pictures and hearing your results. Have you done the show before? I have so much to do it is mindboggling. I haven't started bottle bugs yet and can usually sell as many as I can make. Have tons of old Coke bottles I plan to use this time as well as old Christmas bulbs. I got my larger containers planted and am ready to go full-tilt all week with planting. Spent $106 at the nursery the other day and will have to go back, I'm sure. I buy my groundcovers in a 6 pk. basket and then divide each one into 4 so I get 24 plants from one 6-pk. I also have mini shepherd's hooks to make, marble gazing balls to assemble, some birch logs to cut up into miniature houses, mini buntings to make, you name it. I may as well give up sleeping. It will all be worth it though. I love it when everyone oohs and aahs over my stuff and stands in line to buy, it makes it all worthwhile. I meet the neatest people and they all love to visit. I've had 2 previous customers call me in anticipation already. Fairy gardening seems to be getting very popular though, there are several other vendors doing it this year also. I used to be the only one selling them, and it was something unique, so I am hoping for continued good sales this year, but not sure. I will post pictures eventually - I don't accessorize any of my gardens until a few days before the show. Glad Sundays are a day of rest around our house.....back to the grindstone tomorrow!

Comments (11)OK. Situation has changed. this stuff is coming in nicely I believe. My yard looks like a 14 year old boys face if he tried to grow a beard, but it has only been 9 days. What is amusing though is that I have 2 totally different grasses coming in. I was NEVER going for the "golf course" look. Would be nice, but even I realize that a putting surface look requires DAILY attention and special equipment. Again, I appear to have bought 2 different bermuda. All was Pennington brand products except for the Kentucky Bluegrass which appears to not be coming in. The first bermuda to come out are long and bright green blades and are already 1"- 1.25" above the soil. NOW I am noticing a second grass beginning. It appears to my novice eye to be a dwarf bermuda, as it is a darker/duller green with blades that are about 0.5" above the surface of soil and are laying over as a golf course turf does? Can these two bermudas coexist peacefully? Also, how long should I give the lawn to come in before seeding more bermuda in what will be the bare or sparse patches....See MoreWhen do I plant and start watering sugar snap peas?
Comments (3)I am also in zone 6b. I will be planting my snow peas this weekend. Good luck to you! Peas are pretty frost hardy, so you can try them a little early and take your chances. If you succession plant (every 2 weeks plant a few, for example) you might be able to find the optimum time for your garden. Experiment and have fun. Most of the time there are far too many seeds in the packets for me, so you can lose a few without worrying about losing your harvest....See MoreRosh Hashana - I'm starting to panic.........
Comments (13)Bless you. How kind of you to be so concerned about ensuring a healthy Rosh Hashana for your friends. I'd suggest you not stress over the specifics. As a mother of a food allergic kid, I just ask that I know what's safe and what's not safe for him. I don't expect that every food in his vicinity will be okay for him to eat. You are being a truly loving and caring person. Take a deep breath and just make sure to communicate with the parents about what is ok/not ok for their child. I guarantee they will be overwhelmed with your thoughtfulness...and if they're not, well, they need a whack. :) Amy...See Morejdruding
