In the 1970's didn't they have similar disco shoes with goldfish in them? Bizarre. Maybe they can be made into miniature terrariums.

My First Winter - Bubble Wrap, heat...?

Ah, I understand. Your GH is also a sort of conservatory, so appearance and the ability to see out of it is also a consideration. But if it's in full sun, you may need to add some shade plantings in your garden, perhaps some that would add an asthetic value along with shade. If you have the space to fit them, you might also benefit by a pair of outdoor (wet location rated) ceiling fans, to mount under the roof vents. The pair in my GH operate with very little electricity, are silent and do a great job of keeping the air moving. Not very expensive either; less than $100.00 each at the local home center. (Hunter brand) BTW: Operating 2 ceiling fans, each turning in an opposite direction really DOES create a circular pattern of air movement, front to back, top to bottom.

This copperhead almost kicked my bootie

We have an inborn natural reaction to snakes, but like some of the posters said above it is a good idea to let the non poisonous snakes live. I know the big chicken/rat snakes look especially scary, but they will repay you for letting them live by keeping the mice and rats under control. Rats are everywhere -- even in the 'nicest' neighborhoods and we could use a little help from the 'real experts' at catching them. From what I've read on the internet copperheads are non aggressive. I knew a family with kids that lived with them out in the woods (lots of them) and were never bothered. However, I'm not saying I wouldn't kill one if it was in my yard if for no other reason then to keep my dog from being bit. We had a dog bitten on the nose. He was uncomfortable, but he recovered in a few days. The coral snakes are especially non agressive and couldn't bite you if they tried. Their little tiny fangs are way back in their mouth and the only bite I could find ever recorded was of a lab technician that stuck his little finger down ones throat. Why he did that I don't know, but even then so little venon was released his finger became swollen and that was it. I stepped on a coral snake barefoot in my back yard and he didn't even try to bite. That's when I did the research. They are so docile children have been known to carry them around and play with them with no harm. I see them occasionally, but just let them live. Too bad that little 'red and yellow kill a fellow' rhyme got started, because they don't. It's good to be aware -- of both the hazards AND THE HELPS that snakes present. Happy gardening everyone!

Bubbles in my Toilet
Q
Comments (1)
Anytime that has happened to me I've needed a plumber to snake it. Bubbles in toilet for me has been the first sign of a back up in the house, usually a couple of days later. If plumber was just there, there should be no charge for him to come back if it wasn't properly fixed!

need bubble wrap for my greenhouse....
Q

I don't think bubble wrap is the way to go. An insulated pool cover is used by some and sounds like a better idea to me. But honestly any reasonable insulation won't be too much help without a heat source. Maybe a large mass of water inside combined with a pool cover. Depending on your crop you might be able to build a greenhouse inside your greenhouse. Cover the lower structure/frame with row cover/frost blanket.

when you get to the doctor's office with a broken leg, do you say you fell off your shoe or your planter?

That is just so crazy - fashion is just NUTS sometimes.

Okay, you all are probably going to howl laughing BUT, I did fall off my platform shoes once and landed up in a cast with a cracked bone on the top of my foot. I think I was about 15 - I don't remember just how it happened but I sure remember the cast and crutches.

Those are hilarious, Pudge...but kinda cute too! Who needs to frolic in fields of wildflowers when you can just carry them around in your shoes! lol

Hey, Ruth - how did your tomatoes do this summer? It was a lousy one, wasn't it? Rain, rain, rain!

Re: zone 2b - i'm in total denial about that. I started out in 3b and i'm staying there! LOL

I got ZERO tomatoes from my two plants - one plant got hit with a falling tree limb during a storm and the bear got my one ripening (orange at the time) tomato. He ate the green fruits also. So I got nothing.
I'll let you stay in 3b, we'll say you have a micro climate at your house. But I don't believe you when I watch it snow the first week of Oct. every year.
I'll send you a PM about sending you some seeds from our catalogs later. Don't want to discuss our catalogs in an open forum.

Sierra, do a sun dance, quick! I'm staying in a warm bubble, believe me - it's currently -30 out there and the windchill is 10 degrees more. Or less. Whatever. Too freaking cold!

Ruth, i got a few tomatoes but nothing to brag about. I'm thinking of going along with Pudge and trying the Polfast or something different this year. And i have to relocate the plants as well - i had them in with my asparagus but i think there's now too much asparagus fern shading the tomatoes. One excuse, anyway. :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

Marcia, I don't think I can dance in these shoes. Eeekkss, I don't think I can even move. :O I'll leave the dancin' to Pudge.

It warmed up here and turned to rain. Now its so slippery we can hardly walk down the driveway. My driveway in on a hill. Now its supposed to get cold. This should be fun for a while. De-icer here we come.
