Good Morning.

Can someone jump start my system please? One night I can't sleep, the next only the thought of certain death to most flowers in the garden if I would not water, gets me up in that early lol

so here I am showing you the bloom that opened yesterday on the Desert Rose. JUST remembered that it is NOT one of the 2 that I shipped home from Florida. That is the one I found at Wal-Mart. Sorry.

But I have been thinking about Kristy and missing her. Hoping she is having a wonderful family reunion. Fun digging up all sorts of Plants in her Aunt's Garden. I had to laugh when she said she would.

Kristy you are missed but we are happy you are having some ME time :-)

Now let me wish you a peaceful happy day. May the worries be little and the joys be lots.

May someone give you a helping hand, if you need one.

Knowing that you are not alone and that in this great nation....SOMEONE always helps someone in need of it.

Hugs

Hello Lucy!
Beautiful Desert Rose, hope mine will bloom one day.

We made it back. It was a sad but good trip.
All of DH brothers and his sister made it in for the funeral.
DH's brother was a member of the "Rolling Thunder" Its a motor cycle group of Vets.
They lead the procession. It sure was something to see.
All those bike and flags flying!
Anyway Waiting to let you know we are home safe and sound.
A lot to catch up on. Have not even started on the emails. LOL
Big Hugs
Dorothy

Bob, there are way to many to pick just ONE BEST picture :-) Kylie, I am SO busy with trying to get everything ready for the vacation....Thinking about you a lot and the great time we had. Hopefully AFTER the vacation I will have a life again and can get in touch with you. Until then, potted up the Cuttings today because I do not want hubby to deal with cuttings in water. Hey guys, Kylie has the biggest smile that comes right from the heart. If I had not signed that waver, I would show you :-) Kristy how was it being back at work ? Rigo you just enjoy your children, the time together. The fresh veggies..oh man yumm. We are here when ever you got time to say hello. Lucy

Barbra I do not remember which member talked about the peanut germination method. All I remember is that Karyn used biodegradeble ones, without knowing that they were and they dissolved and all got mixed up :-( All you do is cut a slit in the peanut. Insert the seed so the bottom immerses into the water. Which is warm and in a shallow container. I did change the water but they germinate real fast. After they had germinated I planted them in a container. That is how I grew mine out. I am with Bob. When you grow them from seeds, you get so many interesting growing Plumeria's!! From Pictures for GW friends I love this one. Just because it is totally different from all the other seedlings. From Pictures for GW friends If you can not find the thread about the peanuts...I can do a search. Lucy

Yeah Shawn, mine do at least, lol..I'm sure they dont do it special for me, lol. The seeds are in the black berry looking things, the seed pod will dry, peel back and reveal the berry looking seeds. When they are ready they will come off in your hand real easy.If you dry them well before storing, you can just rub them between your fingers to remove the dried berry/fleshy part. I leave mine on a piece of newspaper till they dry, then put them in a packet..I dont even take that outer fleshy part off. As long as you keep them dry they wont mold.

Well I could have waited a little longer...but I just do not want to spend days on the garden if we would get bad weather during the time all the kids and grandkids are home. That does not happen very often, that they are all home at the same time. So this year...it was fine with me :-) Besides....I have a Santa Rosa bloom on a cutting going at it in the green room. lol Lucy
