Insufficient grounds for marriage IMHO.

Apparently my male friends are different from yours...married and single both.

It's magic carpet mix and the seedlings are identical to the original plants, fran. Last night's rain storm just about cleared them all out though... :( Eldo, I often wonder what it would be like gardening in zone 8 or more! What a different concept of annuals!

mystery spirea--did I do a bad, bad thing?
Q
Comments (4)
You're in Michigan? In some parts of Ohio, spirea are late to leaf out this year b/c of the unusally cold early spring. I have several varieties (Anthony Waterer, Magic Carpet, Little Princess and Goldmound), all of which have pink flowers of different shades. Only the Goldmounds are covered in leaves, and that has only occurred within the last 48 hours. The others are only now starting to show some signs of life and only a little at that--but I know they'll kick in to gear once we have consistently warmer temps. Spirea (except for one or two not mentioned--can't recall the names but they have white flowers), can be cut back pretty hard without damaging them. They can get a little out of control and taking off even more than 50% helps to rejuvinate them. As for flowering, I have found that deadheading (pinching off the bloom) shortly before the blooms completely fade away and occassional light pruning through the season increases repeat, more profuse blooms.

One bad thing about Mexican sunflower
Q

I believe Fiesta Del Sol is the one I've been growing, the one that's supposed to be shorter than Torch. Mine grow to about 5' tall, but get real wide, and they do eventually fall over on their own weight, usually after a big rain. So, it's a good idea to plant any Mexican sunflowers close to sturdy bushes that you can prop them up against or stake them. It's worth it to do this, because of the constant profusion of butterfly attracting blooms they give. Sherry

Single Best (Only?) thing about Next Door

The I-95 bridge collapse was horrific-- and the solution amazing! But I have to say-- the best part of the bridge solution was that the idea came from just a regular ol' guy at PennDOT. It is an amazing story! Jsk... i was sad but while I was pulling for him, I am glad to keep him in PA a bit longer! He has been making great changes-- but one of the biggest is that he has garnered support from both sides of the fence. His approval rating across PA also comes from both sides. In these times, in this state, that is also... amazing. (I overused the word here lol)

If you know what's in God's mind, why would you care about the opinions of anyone here?

I don't see anything terribly wrong with getting hitched for the purposes of resolving loneliness as long as there is affection and mutual respect in the union. Do you have sincere loving feelings for your betrothed or are you just looking for a cook, maid, night-time companion?

How does your intended feel?

I really don't get that lonely but I am an only child. I fear the future like you would not believe when my already very small immediate family starts shrinking. I am trying to prepare myself for that eventuality but I don't know how I will handle it.

Barn, my fiance does not know how to cooks or how to be a maid either, but we believed that if we love, care, and respect for each other everything we can handle. I know there is a heavy price to pay, if one value selfish too much.

getting good deals on travel as a single is not easy, just try to boook a cruise and go alone. they have this thing called a single suppliment, where you pay them more to have a cabin by yourself instead of another guest they have to feed and serve for the trip. the extra charge is almost as much as the cost of the 2nd person too.

Hey mike_73, I've traveled alone for sightseeing tours and you can get a roommate on these types of tours and save yourself some money. I've never had a problem with any roommate I've ever had on a trip.

If it is a tour group they usually give the contact info of the other person and let the two email or call each other to resolve and differences like "early riser/night owl" or "smoker/non-smoker". If the other person sounds reasonable you book a double room. You get two beds and share the bath. You don't have to "hang out" with the person.

Ask your travel agent or tour operator about it.

I have had 4 great adventures and have shared a room with 4 strangers. I met the best one before, the other's were complete strangers. I've never had a problem with any. I would never pay for a single supplemental for a cruise, but I would for a nature trip if that was only way I could go.
