Silly ?, but what to do w/ DL seeds?
Comments (4)Unfortunetly I don't know! The oldest ones are those plain, regular orange/yellow ones. The newest ones I got last year were a lighter yellow w/ ruffly edges. At the time I didn't know there were different varieties! I'd never seen any around here. Thanks for the site and I'll do some research on it. My seeds were black if that helps....See MoreBoy, do I feel silly!
Comments (5)I know I am still learning a good bit though I am a fairly seasoned gardener, so old dogs can still learn new tricks. I too (just this year) became aware of the sweet potato vine having a tuber that can be saved and replanted the next season. This was my first year to even grow one. Since you have a 'big one' I'm wondering if it might have multiple 'eyes', and if you could cut it up (as seed potatoes are), in the late winter/early spring, and start several plants from the one tater/tuber. You just reminded me that I still need to rescue the one Sweet Potato tuber I grew last season. It was the lovely chartreuse one. Sue...See Morewhat to do with silly mini picks
Comments (1)Michelle, I would plant them in the ground. Minis are often more hardy than other roses, and more hardy than we think. Cover with a thick layer of leaves, mulch well and throw snow over the plants. Snow is the best insulation they can have! Jen...See Morecrazy, silly stuff our pets do
Comments (12)Disclaimer - This happened in a very rural area in the 1960s. Yes, our dog roamed the countryside at will, but seldom traveled further than our property and the two neighboring farms. He visited one to swim and catch frogs in their pond; he visited the other to herd their cattle. I would have paid more attention to the turtle had I thought he was in any danger --- but I was a child. When I was young I had a beautiful black Lab/German Shepard mix...he was big happy goofball with a mad, rabid protective streak. My dear, sweet Rebel. He adopted a friend, a box turtle. We called them terrapins, but they were the big, boxy, land turtles. He brought it home one evening in Spring and carried around with him nearly all summer long. When he got in his bed on the back porch, he'd put the turtle in there with him. If he was in the back yard, he'd carry the turtle with him, set it down and leave it there while he went about his patrolling, hunting, and herding the neighbors cows (not milk cows) into their barn. When he came back to our place he'd find the turtle and bring it to the house. If he came inside the house we had to make him leave Turtle outside. He'd set it by his dinner bowl while he ate. If the turtle wandered off, he'd retrieve it after dinner. The turtle seemed to thrive all summer so he must have gotten enough alone time to find food. One bad habit of Rebel's proved to be the downfall of the turtle. Rebel's water bowl was a large, three-gallon pail. We kept it by the pump house so it was easy to keep fresh water out for him. When he got a drink, he would sometimes dunk the turtle in the pail, drink his water, then dunk his head under to get the turtle out. By the time we realized what he was doing, it was too late. One day he apparently got distracted while he was drinking and forgot his turtle. It was sad. The funeral was attended by Mildred, the lone Rhode Island Red hen, Ducky Lucky, the wild, rescued Mallard duck, Samantha the Calico Cat (and the best copper head snake catcher in the county), a lonely and confused Rebel, my Grandmother, and a very young version of me. Turtle later had to be re-interred by a friend a couple miles away. Rebel wasn't content to let him rest in peace. He never got another special Turtle, even though there were always several to be found around the place....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
