Need help turning Garden junk into indoor Folk Art
Q
Comments (12)
I like the idea of mounting the plate on a board. You could add a 'flower stem' and leaves, and frame it so it could be hung up. If she likes indoor plants, you could add a little planter box to it. You could curb shop (or friend's garage/basement shop, or TS or swap meet) an old floor lamp or stand from a fan. These are made from hollow metal that you could insert a rod into. The old cheap one piece metal towel racks have a square piece of metal attached to each end. This is where you put the screws in to attach it to a wall. If you cut one end off of the rack, and use the long piece, it will give you the square to glue the plate to, and also the rod to push into the lamp or whatever you use. Hope that makes sense. I can't find a photo of one of those towel racks on the net, but have one here in a pile of junk somewhere. Let me know if you need a pic and maybe I can find it. Linda

10/09 Turn Your Clocks Back!

Lois, my old VCR isn't even capable of running VHS tapes anymore. I just use it to run my cable through on my old (but still working) tube TV...LOL. At my father's I changed everything in the middle of the night and noticed right away the cable box was already changed. Same for computers. I couldn't sleep Sunday night after the time change and raking between the raindrops outside for 2 days. What's a girl who can't sleep to do? Look at online seed vendor sites and plant descriptions, of course. :) I just looked at my cell phone and realized the time changed itself! I'm electronically challenged and didn't notice it for 2 days...LOL.

Zone Five Folks What are You doing in your Garden
Q
Comments (12)
I'm in zone 4 but I'll toss out an answer anyway.... In addition to watering, waiting for the weather to cool down, and harvesting veggies, I am also taking a lot of notes about things to change/add/move for next year. The garden is in a bit of a freeze-frame right now, so it's a good time for evaluation. It's not wise to make changes right now, but it is a good idea to plan them. I am also thumbing the pages of my bulb catalogs, having a lovely time hemming and hawing over what to get. :) I'm also standing by to promptly deadhead globe thistle, which is going to seed itself all over town in another week or so. Oh, and I'm ramping up our armory against the deer. Alllll the fawns have arrived and they are having a delightful time romping through the gardens. They have already defeated deer spray and netting, so I'm redoubling that in the sensitive areas (lettuce and peppers). They are doing a fine job in eating crabapples, which works out well for everyone. Kevin, do you make pickles? I have ONE cucumber set to harvest and that's it so far. Pathetic! I had to BUY pickles for cryin' out loud!

Southern Folks-How Did Your New Plants Do This Year?
Q

TN, you bet, yours look really good ...to be put in the ground during the height of summer, you are doing something RIGHT. And Eleven, my choices were from the ones on hand at the time. I added olla jugs to Empress Wu and S+S to keep water in the root zones Winter Snow was doing fine until DH stepped in the middle of the crown. It is making a valiant effort to reflush, and is beautifully bright green. I care not for Minuteman nor Patriot, so they were chosen as sacrificial lambs. Fragrant Queen is a duplicate, nonessential. Alabama Gold well I wanted a hometown boy to be among the volunteers. For good reason I call it the experimental driveway bed. It runs along the driveway on the west side of the house. Neighbors to the south have water oaks, sweetgum, and camphor trees along an unmaintained yard. It is fairly dry and I water this area lightly. We have good rainfall annually so this is tough love. One which is doing beautifully all season long is Millies Memoirs, a medium.

Yes, but what is "back"? If I change my watch from 8 to 9, my watch is an hour older, and I'm younger in relation to my watch, but time itself has not changed, so is that forward or back? You all need to think through this more carefully, or you'll be late to work on Monday.

Back is from 9 to 8 not 8 to 9. And no, it doesn't change "time". It just changes our usage of it. Since all of our calenders and clocks and such are man made devices for time management anyway all we're really doing is adjusting our own schedules not reality. Time marches on regardless of how we decide to segment it for our own purposes.

Yawn...ahhh, I appreciated that extra hour of sleep. Right you are Michael G! Lovely clock, Kitty. Thanks for sharing it with us, dear! You're welcome, Ingrid and Jim. Glad that I could be of help to you. Yeppers, Seil, it doesn't change reality. My cat's and dog's behavior this mornin' sure enough showed that. Potty time, feeding, etc. marched on as, usual lol. But I managed a nice somnolence through it all. And, hon, I'm not a big fan of our northern winters, either! The cold, the dark...blech! Have a good one today, dear friends, and remember to take your vitamin D3! :-)

Yes, I have clocks that don't adjust themselves--like in the car. Was I supposed to adjust it? All this time I thought that was a grandkid's job. Diane

Sadly, the clocks in the oven and the microwave don't adjust themselves . They tend to be the first ones I see upon staggering to the kitchen for the morning orange juice (after being rudely awaken by the mobile phone alarm, which gets switched off without looking at it). Nobody needs that panicked OMGI messedupmyalarmnow I'm anhourlate for work! thing that early in the morning, before the extra adrenaline reminds you that , hey..you forgot to reset the kitchen stuff, AGAIN this year... :)
