Leaving for PA soon......(OT)

15 years ago

I'll be flying from Montgomery, AL to Pittsburg, PA this Sunday to stay a few weeks with my DH who's working up there. I'm sure going to miss reading the daily posts on here, but I plan to get over to his office a few times a week so I'll catch up then, hopefully. I think this is all backwards....northern folks are supposed to head south for the winter not southern folks heading north, right? LOL He's in Zelienople and he's sent lots of photos of all the snow, and from what they're saying, there's lots more snow expected next week. Brrrr...ya'll pray for this little old southern gal....I might freeze to death just looking out the window at all that white stuff! :) But, there's one good thing about it, when I return the last week in Feb. my dl's will be growing like gang busters and spring will be just around the corner down here!!

Have a safe trip to the tundra. Yes, we are expecting more snow next week but I'm praying the storm stays off to the east and we get a break.
If I went anywhere warm I may not come back so I'm probably better off staying right here in the cold. Spring is only 7 weeks away :-).

Contrary, AACT is Actively Aerated Compost Tea. I'll provide a link. I use these folks brewer and their tea kits although you can easily make your own brewer and use your own compost. Rosefolly, I never thought of this experiment as bold, but I guess here in BS heaven where most roses are stretched to their limit it is. I'm just getting old and tired of spraying every two weeks. I'm also fed up with spraying pesticides, which I did for rose midge and I still have them. Gean, I think you have made a good investment in the book order. Let us know what you think. The two pioneer roses I have are good ones. The better of the two is by far Thomas Affleck. Mier y Teran is a midge magnet and most bugs seem to like this rose. TA hardly ever gives me cause to worry. He just keeps on blooming. Also, MyT is not as cold hardy as TA. It's first spring in my garden he died to the ground. This year he had much taller canes-the winter was much milder. Very pretty rose and blooms well when midge aren't attacking. Right now he is about 3 feet tall and I know this rose can reach 8 feet as he did his first season in my garden. A word of caution about AACT. Don't regard it as a silver bullet. It is not meant to be a complete fungicide or pesticide. Its purpose is to improve the garden environment, to keep a balance of good organisms in the garden-plant and soil. Years of spraying fungicides and pesticides do some damage, and it is likely to take time to correct the balance. It can also be used in conjunction with pesticides and fungicides. The recommendation is to follow the fungicide/pesticide spray with AACT. That's just too much spraying for me. Thank you all for your comments.

Here's some info from a current LECOM student. I hope it helps. They have a wonderful 2 bedroom townhouse with a finished basement and a garage near the school for about $1000 a month. "Grenada is bad, most others are okay. Shadow Pines is new and nice, our neighborhood (Westwind) is next best. If it is for this year that it is going to be difficult to find somewhere to live because some of these places already have waitlists. The ones right across from the school are waitlisted like a year already. If they find something decent then take it if it is for this year because it is late. Tell her to look on Facebook if she is on it. A lot of times students will post looking for room mates on there. If not there then on student doctor network. Its a great resource as well. It is getting really late to find a place. Tell her to take what she can get. Glowacki management is the company we rent from and they are good. Pretty much anything but granada will be a safe bet."

OT: Pfaltzgraf closing all outlet/retail and clearance centers

Oh! That's terrible news! Most of my dishes have been Pfaltzgraff....I love their dishes! I have the Yorktowne pattern for my every day dishes most of the year and Snow Bear for the winter (Thanksgiving until spring). I do have a lot of Yorktowne & Snow Bear was discontinued a few years ago...but still! Hmmmm....they have had quite a few online sales lately....I wonder if that's the writing on the wall. I do remember a few years ago that when I ordered some replacement bowls, they were different. When I called them about it, they mentioned they used a different manufacturer than they used to. They offered to replace all my existing bowls for free....I now have many more than I really need. I suspect that kind of service is gone even if they stay in business under their same name. Sad news...:-(

There's a good chance instead of butterfly, you had a sawfly larvae infestation. They can strip the foliage in very little time and since the same color as the leaf and very small, can go unnoticed until too late. My neighbor and I have both lost foliage so quickly (almost overnight) she was blaming deer - it was sawfly larvae. http://www.ppdl.purdue.edu/ppdl/weeklypics/weekly_picture5-6-02-1.html

We sure are gettin' the snow here now. Take Michelle's advice and make sure you pack whatever you got that may seem too warm down there in your zone 8. I don't live all that far from Zelienople, so if you have some free time to kill and would like to get together and do lunch with another daylily fanatic during your visit here, I can email you my phone #. Always lots of fun to talk gardening, daylilies, and grandkids.

I'm going to Pa also next week to visit my daughter in Lancaster. I will be leaving on Feb 7th and returning the 22nd. Not looking forward to the cold but when you have a garden to take care of in the summer, winter is a good time to travel. Have a good time and I will do the same. My great grandson thinks I'm coming just for his birthday on Feb 13th, he is so cute and going to be 6 years old. Take care.

Kathy, don't hold your breath waiting on photos of "my" snowangel or snowman!! :) But I will take photos of the snow. I'm sure my DH will have some nice winter drives mapped out so I can see all the glorious winter landscapes, etc. He knows how much I enjoy making photos of interesting places.
Besides lots of warm clothing, I'm also packing plenty of reading material because I know I'll be "house bound" a lot.
Thanks Arlene and Jean for your "safe trip" wishes for me. My flight leaves at 11:35 tomorrow morning so keep me in your prayers. :)
Hugs to all,
Jan
