Comments (1)Welcome! Stick a chopstick in the soil. Pull it out every once in a while. If the end of it is moist, don't water. If it's dry, water. You don't want to water on a schedule, only when the tree needs it. Hope you're keeping it outdoors!...See MoreChristmas Cake plate and cover
Comments (14)Bebe..............how funny in a very nice way! Everyone - just everyone does Yard Sales! And if they don't they really, really want to and are just scared - like you - to be seen at one....how brave of you to try! I don't go often because of the mileage to and from but when we do...we do it big! We make it either a ladies event or a family affair with a late lunch after shopping. On Labor Day Weekend we get together with about 8 to 10 other couples for the weekend, the guy go play mini golf or just hang out and we girls (and a few of the guys) hit the sales. There has been as many as 4 vehicles going from one sale to another and it is so fun. We make a list of things that we are looking for and give it to each group, so as we move around a sale if someone see something on the list they tell that person. We laugh and joke and most home owners have as much fun as we do! Many areas have block sales and these are really fun! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO go for it! Belle PS I used to feel guilty for not buying anything, now I just tell the owner thank you...and that seems to work....See MoreI have planted seeds and have had 11 come up. My question is when they
Comments (9)The above is correct. Please make sure the soil does not completely dry out. Water needs depend on several variables, including what & how much medium they're in, type of pot, how much direct sunlight they're receiving, climate, etc. I'm relatively new to adeniums and would like to share my experiences. I hope you don't mind. I have also read the bottom water / top water recommendation. My experience is that it makes sense when seedlings are small ... You don't want to inadvertently disturb seeds / seedlings by uprooting them. I take a handful of water and slowly release it onto the soil when the seedlings are under 3 weeks. Everyone has their own method ... Whatever works! As a rule of thumb, I try to water only on sunny days and skip watering when skies are overcast. This allows plants to dry back a little bit and not remain overly wet. Also, never wet a plant while it's under full sun or it can get scorched. I'm coddling my babies and keep them on a tray, bringing them in whenever it's going to rain. Over the course of 3 month, I have sown 25 seedlings. Since I'm growing small scale, I use egg cartons because the individual cells allow me to keep track of when each seed germinated. Of course, I make drainage holes at the bottom of each cell. I also tape up the side holes & use the lid as a drip tray. At about three weeks old I transferred the seedlings into Activia/Light & Fit yogurt cups (w/drainage holes), which are a perfect height for deep root formation. I first fill each cup with soil & fully water the pot. Then I use a plastic fork to lift out the seedling with its surrounding soil, fill in surrounding area, and water in. Careful not to plant seedling deeper than it originally was. I also just transferred three 3-month-olds into 4 inch pots. I found that keeping everything in direct sunlight is best (for my climate). Seedlings grow fatter / bigger, and seeds germinate better. I also begin fertilizing seedlings weekly weakly at three weeks of age. Hope you find this information helpful....See MoreWhat should I do?

Comments (39)A card is fine. Do you do any cooking or baking? I have seen some really great food ideas for gifts. Here is one anyone can make! Ingredients: 1/2 cup roughly chopped dried cranberries 1/2 cup roughly chopped pistachios 12 oz white chocolate chips Instructions: Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Microwave chips for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until smooth. Once melted stir in all but 1 tbsp each of the dried cranberries and pistachios. Spread it out in an even layer on your prepared baking sheet, and then sprinkle the remaining cranberries and pistachios. Refrigerate until firm then cut to desired size. There are many more on pinterest, quick and easy! Here is another one I just found. I love pretzels with Chocolate. Easy Toffee Pretzel bark...See Morelindac
