Tootin' my own horn

Hi Robert, Sorry I didn't respond to your question on growing plumeria over the winter. I have done this for the past 2 winters now. The 1st winter was my first with growing plumerias. I had bought a Dwarf Singapor Pink that went on sale from Stoke's Tropicals. With it being evergreen, I figured I would at least give it a try. I didn't have any good forms of natural light so I put it under shop lights. Amazingly, it still grew and produced it's first 2 inflos, however, the buds never opened, and they dropped. The following year, I had gone from having a few plumeria to having around 60! I had posted here that I had been searching for a 'Penang Peach'. I recieved an email from a woman that had a PP that she was willing to sell to me. The best part was that it had a HUGE inflo! I bought it and placed it under my 600 watt HPS light. There it thrived, bloomed and i got to enjoy fully colored flowers, and the heady peach/baby powder fragrance. I will say I did have to be more vigilant in terms of pest control. I did have a good enviroment for my plumeria but i also created a good enviorment for spider mites, and other pests. I kept the light on for at least 12 hours, and as far as watering, I kept it slightly more dry. I watered once every 5 or 6 days. Trying to keep them happy and growing but also not keeping my soil mix too wet, was a little tricky at first. I would just start out with maybe 1/2 cup of water for a 1 gal pot and see how your tree responds. I really don't think you will get away with just misting. Good luck, and keep us posted. I will try to post some pics of how I keep my plumeria growing over the winter. I try to just keep it to cuttings that I rooted this year, and then to any plumeria that were blooming, or are producing inflos now. Andrew

Bill! You're a tile guy? No way would I have ever guessed. I always pictured you with a beret, a paintbrush & an easel by the side of a river; never with tile and tile saw. Huh. Goes to show you. Hopefully you get a kickback for that awesome plug. But yeah, exposure's good too! :-) Good for you.

Question for all mothers and grandmothers

Thanks for your comments, folks - it helps alot. The kids' mom said she was spanked as a kid, and she said it didn't kill her, says now she appreciates that she was spanked - says it made her a better person. She was raised by her grandmother. My son, the kids' father, lives in Las Vegas - he and the boys' mother never married. He is an absentee "father", a 'call the cops' type of guy - that's what he called, and told me to do, after he received my voice mail about this incident. I think my son is an idoit (he has a gambling addiction AND works as a poker dealer!)- he's NOT a dad, IMHO - he's an ASS. He thinks that paying child support each month is all he needs to do. You all are right - there is more to this story than even I know. I don't think their mother hits them. I don't fear for the boys' safety - it's just that they should not be receiving 'love pats' from anyone, imho. I don't know how much the boyfriend drinks - I've only been in his presence about four times, but he was drinking all of those times. He came to my house to pick up the kids, was in the car's passenger seat, with an open bottle, and he doesn't currently have a driver's license due to dui. Both their responses, when asked about it, is 'it will be alright'. I personally know nothing about this man, and it appears I don't know the boys' mother, either. I researched the child protection laws for my state - grandparents have no rights. I think the only thing I can do is just keep them if and when they (the children) want to stay, and let a babysitter care for them during the after-school hours. The mother's grandmother lives upstairs from them and I feel she has the kids' best interest at heart - I will pray that she keeps an eye on the kids' well-being. I am now realizing that I should not have moved from my home in Missouri, to here - this is just heart-sickening. I appreciate all the opinions on 'love patting' my grandsons, which is what I was looking for. I realize my hands are tied, and I can do nothing. I will have to leave it in God's hands. Please pray for the situation and the kids' well-being. Thanks again, everyone.

After reading the forum this early morn., I perused that site, BAMA. Didja notice how many other forum members are featured on there? WOW - I'm in the presence of real artists, for SURE. Lot of good stuff on there. Didja also notice the one who loves Laurie Mika? Her plaques really resemble Laurie's. Take a look, ROSIE and HAZIE.
