I have been wondering if you are ok?

Both my Mom and I have always appreciated what you have to say here, and we wonder if you have been ok?

You will post something, and then not follow through with conversartion which is very concerning.

I can only think you are very busy, not enjoying your time here with us, something is severly wrong, or that you just forget. Hopefully it's just that you are busy.

You have been a treasure here for years and I am hoping that you will see this thread and realize how much we miss you around and that we hope everything is ok:-)

This is for you:-)))))))))))))))

Love you plants by the way.

Mike and Mom,
I am fine. Yes, I have been very busy lately.
I am trying to figure out where to plant my new sweet olive, I do believe it should be in the ground for winter, I am afraid it will be too cold in a pot outside.
I have been digging up grass around my exsisting tea olives and other shrubs and mulching for the winter, UGH, what a job.
We finally got rain last night, i couldn't believe it!
North GA and the southern part of SC has been under a stage 4 drought since this summer, and keeping everything alive has been a chore.
Time to rake leaves soon and mulch mow them in, or make a compost pile.
Mike, I love this time of year, the trees are beautiful changing colors and the weather is cool. Gardening isn't that much of a chore if it's not hot out.
Thanks for inquiring about me.
You are thoughtful.
Still waiting for my plumeria to bloom, never saw one before except in pictures. It's in the dining room by a window for sun, so you never know.
Do you have plumerias?

Butterfly, it's so good that my Mom and I see that you are ok!

I was a bit sick lately and sorry it took me a while to get back here, but you surely put a smile on my face.
We go way back and I never forgot the nice things you have said to me and for all teh great advice you have taught me and others here. You certainly have some very nice fragrant plants!
Rememeber the Gardenia you showed us a pic of with the snow on it? Is it still doing ok?

Now, that is frustrating and yet adventurious at teh same time, trying to figure where to put that AWESOME olive tree that you got! Have you got a spot yet? Would you like ouyr opinions? I'll help you. I use to be a landscaper and did my own yard. I have an eye for that stuff.

I am so happy it finally rained! Yahoo. I'll bet your plants reacted very nicely. They probably turned very green and even flowered for you. I'll bet you Olive Tree loved it! It seems mines loves to get wet. It give me more blooms when I wet it.

I had no idea foliage turned color that far south! I had no idea you had to rake either. I'll bet your winters are a lot shorter than mines though. I miss mine were as short as yours! I hate bringing my plants in for sooooo long without fresh air. I can tell you that smelling the fragrance in my house though is something I would not enjoy if they were all outside. YOu should smell my Brunfelsia in bloom at night while watching T.V!

It's so good to see you. Listen, keep in touch with us or me if you wish. My e-mail is mikerno_1@yahoo.com.
Do you grow other plants besides Fragrants?

Many a good night and my MOm said to send you a hug.

Mike and Sissy

Well what a great report from you, pitimpinai!! The last I heard you were still very low in energy and still on a ton of medication and little appetite, and listen to you, helping the neighbor till up a lawn! LOL What a nice neighbor you were to plant tomatoes and Dahlias. :-) I am happy to hear that you've also benefited from a shorter work day. Great that you had all that time off saved up. I bet you really needed it to get your energy back. We have gotten pretty much back to what is normal for us here. The weather has been stupendous in the past month! I have never seen the cover crop in the veggie beds so high. We've also gotten all the leaves mowed and collected in bins, ours and three neighbors. [g] We have gotten somewhat cleaned up for the year in the garden, but I keep adding to my list of what I want to get done before the weather turns. Still have a small amount of bulbs to plant and three shrubs to get in the ground, some pots to clean and put away and that will just about do it. I am actually looking forward to a break from the garden. Not that we don't get outside and enjoy it, but it's nice this time of year, to focus on other things. During the gardening season, the garden seems to push out other priorities. [g] I enjoy the winter garden and by the time spring comes, I am just itching to get back to a new growing season. Glad you are able to enjoy gardening again and hope you stay well this winter! :-)

Robertson Davies, where have you been all my life?

I do find it unfortunate that school curricula tend to centre around American lit., even in Canada. Sometimes it expands to British lit. too but it's extremely limiting. I teach at an International Baccalaureate school where we are required to teach literature from around the world. Although the translations are not ideal, it adds such a variety, not only to content, but to style of writing and style of thinking. Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing pieces of American and British literature that I could not do without, but to allow students to see beyond the Western, English speaking world is a big deal in Canada. Specifically in Toronto, where we have so many students from so many cultures, they are more open to literature if there is a variety. Even old Canadian literature is not useful for teaching what these children need to know. I, however, would like to read more of Davies' books.

Stirrup Hoe, where have you been my whole life?
Q
Comments (6)
I don't have one. I suspect they are nice and easy where and when the soil is loose and moist...maybe not as good if the soil is harder. I love my regular hoe. Many of my weeds are one here and one there...not always a need for mass cultivation.
