hello
well I have started packing, I always start early becuse I usuly re-pack several time before I'm happy with it. I spent some time yesterday potting up some seedlings so they wont dry out so fast, I'm keeping my fingers crossed they wont be dead when I get back. I'm going to start my vegies, toms peppers eggplant, when I get back so I wont have to worry about them. I had tons of cannas germinate from the seeds I got from the theme garden swap, so they are now in 8" peat pots so I can water them rilly well before we go.**canna like wet feet(sitting in water) right?

I also have bunches of tiney patunias, I'm a little worried about these I don't want to water them tooo much. unfortunently I only got one passion vine to germinate, maybe I did not soak then long enough(2 to 3 days) or maybe to long.

I'm gonna be on the look out for neat seeds in florida, but I don't think they will let me take plants on the plane :)

I will be in and out of the chat room today please e-mail me if anyone has a time when they can chat.

I have winter sowed delf. too and they did fine.

well thats all for now
have a great day everyone

Ladies we have a celebrity in our midst!!! This picture and article appeared in the Monday April 21st edition of the Quincy Herald-Whig. Way to go Michelle!!!! lOLLY WAGNER Herald-Wnig Staff Writer The gardener's house on South 19th Street is easy to spot from the street. Michelle Reynolds' minuscule front yard is more straw than grass, but the tulips poking up in bunches around a tree stump, and the yard ornaments and bird feeders distract the eye. But the real work is going on inside, where the cold, dark days have been banished by grow lights and window gardens. "The plants keep me busy," Reynolds said. "It gets me through winter to have stuff blooming here all the time." Reynolds will be putting most of her vegetable seedlings into the com- munity plots on North Eighth Street. She also has the beginnings of several butterfly and kitchen gardens for herself, friends and relatives. While she regrets that the garden is too far to walk to, she's glad that it's away from the curious fingers of her sons, 5-year-old Timmy and 2-year-old Jeremy. This is her second year, and she has plants to share with the other gardeners and flowers to contribute. The perennials have already sprouted in two portable greenhouses on the front porch. Reynolds put the shelves of flats, encased in plastic, on the porch last January and the seeds started to sprout last month. "I just water them," Reynolds said. A lot of seeds need the freeze-thaw cycle to germinate. "I just let nature do it." Reynolds' kitchen is a laboratory with plants in pots, plants wintering-over, a shelf-top greenhouse, house plants, Timmy's seedlings and plants hanging and sitting everywhere they'll find natural light. Outside the kitchen door, protected from freezing temperatures in the "mud room" on the back porch, are two more portable greenhouses sheltering seedlings. They hold snapdragon, roses, and cardinal climbers that will bloom with red trumpets that appeal to hummingbirds. The tiny backyard is completely mulched. "I want to water plants, not grass," she explains. The wood chips also provide a relatively clean play area for the boys, "not that they wouldn't love to play in the mud," Reynolds said. Birdhouses hang from the garage wall, and in the corner are several raised gardens for flowers. The hard-working plants are in the basement. More than 100 tomato plants, along with eggplants, pepper plants, and more flowers sprout from flats on the shelves that line three walls, leaving just enough room for the washer and dryer. Each shelf has a fluorescent bulb hanging from chains so it can be raised as the plants grow. "It's taken me a couple of years to get it where I want it," Reynolds said. Here are the beginnings of several kitchen gardens and a winter's worth of canned tomatoes and salsa. While Reynolds has not gotten involved with groups promoting locally grown foods, she's discovered the pleasure of being surrounded by nature and helping things to grow. "I talk about them to anybody who will listen," she said. hwagner@whig.com/221-3374 GARDENWEB.COM Michelle Reynolds plants more seeds than she can use. She plans to give away her extras, including trading plants online at GardenWeb.com. She also has several kitchen gardens planned for friends and relatives. At only a few feet square, "a kitchen garden is something anybody can put in their yards," Reynolds said. Her kitchen gardens hold a few tomato plants, eggplants, onions, radishes, carrots and lettuce, "just anything you can toss in dinner," she said. There are also herbs such as basil and fennel for cooking, for the butterflies and just for the delicious aroma when they are crushed between the fingers.

Good morning ladies, I wasn't going to continue with my saga BUT everyone seems to be in the same boat with their children. My twenty y/o daughter did get herself a moving van at eighteen. She had a severe case of what I refer to as eighteenitis. She's twenty now and going to college to become a lawyer, problem is she has ruined her credit. She has no car or health insurance which is illegal in MA. She has overdrawn her bank account and the banks nasty messages come to my house. She got a scholarship for free tuition but never turned it in, I guess she was too busy being eighteen and all. I was paying her $2500 a year insurance bill until March when I decided, I'm not paying her rent anymore! I have free room and board here, school is twenty minutes from our home. It only makes matters worse when she calls me 3 days a week to pick her up and drive her to work at 8am and then to the second job at 5. I work too and this interferes with my job at times. She says that she'll move home if her boyfriend can sleep over. I told her he could sleep over on occasion BUT he would sleep downstairs and she would sleep upstairs. Well, you would have thought that I killed someone. She signed a new lease the next day!! I'm at my witts end with this kid, I'm not sure who's right and who's wrong anymore! Okay, I'm done. Any input ladies? am I just old fashioned or what? I would love to hear what some of you other moms out there think.

I received my seeds from fcoffill. Thanks Frances. I got a variety of coleus (mosaic variety), marjoram, alcea hollyhock, parsley, hot pepper mix, cilantro, dill, malva zebrina, shirley poppies, some nicotiana (3 packets) and plant labels. I feel so spoiled. Thanks again.

I am going to have to change my wants because she filled so many of them! I got 3 kinds of zinnias, 4 kinds of gourds, lettuce, dill and parsley! I also got a journal notebook, the cutest notepad and a very beautiful handpainted pen. Thanks again!

Hi Everyone,
Sharon I am so happy you liked what I sent. I kept thinking of stuff I should have slipped in after I sent it. Oh well, I may send another one later........

I keep reading about you all winter sowing so many things that i have decided I just gotta do it too.... I have some poppies and a few other things I want to start. I haven't ever wintersowed before so it will all be an experiment.

I have had great fun meeting and chatting in the chat room, maybe soon I will get a chance to meet everyone else.

I am going crazy waiting till can plant outside, I don't know how you ladies in the colder zones do it! I would be nuts!

Has anyone tried hybridizing hostas? I read about daylily hybridization, but I wondered about hostas.... Any ideas......

hello
I think it was sassy that I was telling about my 7 foot
tall cosmos, do these look like you cosmos? this one is
way over my head, the monarchs just love these.

this one is next to the 6foot fence, the top of the plant
was over it by the end of the summer, they look like cosmos to me.

we are going to orlando and will making a day trip to the coast, my in-laws have been there before and said there is a great nature area on an islane near the space center, I would love to go to a nice garden or butterfly house, if anyone has segetions.

by for now
micyrey
ps this is my "greenhouse" in the basement, not all the lights are in use yet but I will be planting lots of seeds when we get back. it is hard sometimes to keep the cats out, there is catnip growing on the bottom shelf :)

Hi! I like your setup Micyrey! If you are going to be in Orlando area - Harry P. Leu Botanical Garden (Orlando), Wonderful place with a butterfly garden. I must tell you the Butterfly garden to beat all is in Coconut Creek Fl. It is called Butterfly World. If you are a butterfly person like me, and I think you are! LOL! This place is a must! There is nothing like it in the whole world! It is worth the trip! The place is filled with butterflies, hummingbirds, plants, vines, flowers, parakeets, lorikeets (they will actually fly over to you and let you hold them) Oh! I could go on all day! They also sell seeds and plants.
The picture looks like orange cosmos and pink zinnias, they can get really tall in summer. Have a great trip!

Hello Everyone, I have been MIA for quite awhile, I was unable to get to the Roundrobin forum for a month or so from the main page, It kept telling me loggin failed!
I am able now to log in, and relieved. I missed the first swap and I am behind with the second.
Debbya, yours will be going out tomorrow morning, Sat. sorry I am late. I want to Thank Mariann for helping me out with the round robin and getting Debbya address for me.
I saw above Zone info Needed, I am in zone 6

Look forward to really getting involved in the group.

I received my seeds from hmle2217 today, she sent me a very nice assortment, some will be new for me, which makes this very exciting and she sent me some daylily seeds, which was very exciting. We just bought out Flynns Daylilies out and we just started out growing the seeds, I have 500 crosses in my basement now, so this summer and next year will be so exciting to see all the new flowers. Plus this is my first year WS, I am hoping to have some beautiful gardens this year. Right now they are pretty ugly, I dug out 3 beds this fall, so I have lots of rooms for all the new seedlings!

Micyrey ~ Way what a great set up you have for starting plants! I have a few tulips that I am forcing but the seeds I haven't got started yet. The temps are in the 50's & 60's this weekend and I plan to get some of it done - keeping my fingers crossed!

oh Micyrey!

you make me wish for a basement! or a shed or (dare I say it???) a greenhouse!!! (oh heck, I'd settle for a potting bench in the yard) We can go outside almost everyday here anyway (except in August when it is just too darn hot) I really want a light setup for my tropicals which always make me feel like a monster in winter because I have to bring them indoors. Every year I tell myself the 'spiders' have to go, and everyyear the sit on the dining table turning brown.... maybe next year I will find a better solution.

The cosmos are wonderful!( Mine were 5' tall this year, biggest I have ever seen them!) do the yellow ones get bigger?

My 'wintersown containers are full of sprouts, many need to be transplanted into bigger pots already. Any one know a good source for deep nursery pots. (I'd really love the ones that clematis come in, TALL and narrow)

Hi Tammy!

what a great idea, unfortunately all I have nearby are "big Box" stores and a few small mom & pop type outfits who do not actually grow most of their own plants. No nursry containers, no nursery.

oh well will keep looking.

Sprouts! oooh I have sprouts! actually I hardly have a container without sprouts and I haven't even started the annuals.

Has anyone grown casterbeans before, the seeds are so pretty seems a shame to bury them in dirt! Do I need to soak tem, scarify them?

Any tips appreciated.

Good morning everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we have decided to drop anyone, from the group, who doesn't send this month.

We are aware that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances and will take those into consideration.

I don't think that it's fair, to us, to have to chase anyone down. I want us all to have fun with this group.
Each of us has a responsibility to follow through with our end of the swap in a timely manner.

I'm new to gardening and last year my fiance/now husband built me a grow light shelf. Here are some pics:

Top two shelves are decorated with things:

Bottom 2 shelves. I don't have anything on the third shelf yet.

It didn't cost that much to build it either.
Shelves cost $74.00 at Lowes.
Flourescent lights ~$32.00 ($8.74 per item at home depot (I have 4)
Bulbs (warm and cool bulbs): around $18.00

So around $120 dollars, you can have your own grow op set up. I also had him set up switches for me instead of a timer so I can turn off and on the lights with light switches. (he's an electrician).

Happy gardening everyone!

I could do that! (still not sure where I will put it) lol, perhaps in the spare bedroom. We don't have a shed (yet) and no basement (ever) but we do have a very rarely used guest room.... (it has good light and I keep plants in there already)

Who am I kidding I have plants EVERYWHERE

curious, how big are the flourescent fixtures? single bulbs? the chains are such a great idea! you can raise and lower the units as needed! I think the only thing it needs is some reflective film to line the shelves under the plants and a humidity tray on the floor (must have for tropicals!)

Thank you for sharing that

Frances
hmle2217
16 years ago
The flourescent fixtures are two bulbs with one bulb being a warm bulb 6000k and the other being a cold bulb 3000k (mimicks the sunlight). The chains come with the fixtures so you don't need to buy anything.

I haven't tried reflective film or humdity trays but they would work for tropicals! Let us know if you build one! Happy gardening.

Mellen-Daylily seeds need to be rehydrated and prechilled prior to planting. I winter sow mine so I don't have to do either.

hmle-I like your set up. I really should take pictures of mine.

Frances-I don't have a basement or a greenhouse which makes growing seeds a challenge.

Sassy-I forgot to tell you that your DL seeds are on their way again. There are just a few of them 2 are crosses.

Have a great day,

hmle2217, It was so funny when I looked at the picture you posted. I have that same set up! My husband bought all the components and put it together for me for my birthday one year. I have mine in the garage. Originally I used it for sowing seeds, but I have gone to winter sowing now. It is still handy for those inbetween times and I also store my geraniums in there for the winter and put a few house plants (like Christmas Cactus) other there for much of the year.
Anyway, too funny! And I should say "Nice set up"!

I received my package from Micke today, and WOW! Did you save any seeds for yourself?? lol Thank you so much!! Micke also sent me a pair of gardening gloves, which I'm going to really need this spring when I do my clean up. (I hate doing it in the fall) I also received a beautiful Dahlia tuber, and some commercial packs of seeds! Thank you so much Micke, my seed stash was seriously low, and I LOVED going through them all. I need to go through again and jot down the ones I'm unfamiliar with so I can google them!

I want to let ya all know that I haven't been online as much as I would like, I come in and check on things, and post if I have to, then leave, because I've been experiencing such arm/shoulder pain. I found out yesterday after an MRI that I have 3 bulging discs in my neck (shoulder level) and 2 of them are herniated. So until I can get this taken care of, it will probably seem like I'm only popping in once and a while. I check in everyday, I just can't stay and visit. I've really wanted to participate in the chat room, but I just can't sit long enough and stay comfortable. But I will not drop out!! I'll just seem scarce for awhile. Take care, and Thank You again Micke! Can't wait for next months swap!

I still need to unpack and catch up on e-mails and posts, but we had a great trip, I did not get to go to a garden, I was the only gardener in the bunch and I could not get anyone interested in going. but we went to Sea World, Gaterland, Disney's Magic Kingdom, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, and also took a drive to Merrit Island(I think thats how you spell it) and did some great walks and drives throught the wet lands. we saw the shuttle(from a long way a way) getting ready to launch soon, wild gaters, and bunches of birds(pink spoonbills, ibis, egrets, osprey, and many more), butterflys, and lots of tropical plants I would have loved to dig up :)

well I think all my e-mail have loaded so I check in later.

missed ya'll

Just wanted to pop in and thank you Michelle for the wonderful package of seeds you sent me. I had a ball looking through all of them and can't wait to see them bloom. You're a sweetie! Glad you had a good trip and a safe one:))

Sassy
