Do you get new posters here often?

11 years ago

I recently joined garden web and have been looking over some of the forums. I've noticed that some aren't very active. I always thought garden web was a very popular website. This forum seems to be pretty active though. Thanks in advance!!

Welcome Missy_May.
The Table is definitely one of the more active forums!!
One or more of us always has something to say!

Sit and tell us something about yourself.....where do you live, how many kids, grand-kids or pets you have. Do you like to garden, cook and laugh?

Oh, did you bring us something to eat?? That's a criteria, you know!

New poster here - how long to install sod?
Q
Comments (3)
Like MrGrinch said, it shouldn't take long though I can't say how long. I would like to suggest a couple things if I may. One is you don't want to lay the sod on rolled, flat surface. Drag your grass rake to create vertical lines in the soil, and then moisten the soil a bit. Also, if there is delay between transport and installation, you want to sprinkle the rolls down to keep them moist. This will make them heavier, so the best thing to do is make sure they don't have to sit rolled up for any length of time.

All of my phals vary. I've seen a couple of times one leaf growing out before the previous finished. Always ended well.

Patti, I actually checked out the David Austin website yesterday before making my final purchases to read some about them. There is SO much confusion in the world of roses because there is SO much to know! I have been attracted to his roses for a few years now and decided I better do some research to find out what I was getting myself into before I took the plunge. I read about them being hardy and disease resistant but I won't be convinced until I see it for myself and by being disease resistant, does that mean I'll still need to have a spraying/feeding schedule? Also, as far as planting them goes, I'm going to use your recommendations as well as reading up on as much as I can find. They are supposed to be here in a day or two which unfortunately is a little sooner than I had planned so I'm going to have to keep them wet in a bucket in the garage until I can get the holes prepared for planting. DH and I are in the middle of building a picket fence playyard for my daycare kiddies and being the gardener that I am, I could not overlook the opportunity to create a "garden" out of it. I won't plant inside of it but I plan to create flowing beds all along the perimeter of the outside of it. Adding a birdbath and birdhouse or two in the name of inviting butterflies and birds in for the children to enjoy. Whatever works right? lol! There is nothing but grass there now so I have my work cut out for me. I haven't even formed the beds yet. Is that putting the cart before the horse or what?! I do have a bed in front of my house that I plan to put at least one maybe two of the D.A. and then two on either side of the gate to the play-yard. I currently have a H.T. called Bella Rosa in the front bed. It was the typical scenario of getting suckered in by the gorgeous blooms. She and I have a love/hate relationship. I love her when she's blooming and healthy and hate her when she's not! I've only had her for a year now so that should give you some idea of my crazy obsession with these things! Oh my poor husband! LOL! This is getting way too long, more later, Stephanie

How often do you try new recipes?
Q
Comments (18)
So often that I can't remember where I got the recipes that worked out well. I finally realized that I could save my "all-recipes" to a collection and started printing my others and putting in a folder in the kitchen. I'm still bad about taking my laptop in the kitchen and whipping something up without ever printing off the recipe. Then, when it works I can't find the recipe. Not a big deal in cooking as I can usually duplicate that but in baking bread (which I'm just learning the past couple of months) it becomes a problem. I make new recipes everyday that I'm not working and just about everytime that I cook so probably 3-7 recipes a week. Just started baking bread and love the added challenge. Cooking meals was getting boring. Bread is so much fun! Like kitchen science experiments. I even made my own starter from scratch without buying a starter culture!

Welcome from Southern Indiana!

Some forums are really hopping...Of 'The Home Site Forums, Home Decorating and Kitchens are always hopping and I like to lurk and learn from them.

The Seed and Plant Exchanges are 2 of the busier Garden Forums. Different forums are busier at different times of the year. Like now, Tomatoes is quite busy.

Welcome to the KT. Pull up a chair and sit awhile.

This forum used to be much more active until Facebook came along but it still is quite good. Many of us have been here for well over 10 years but we are always pleased to welcome new people.

Welcome! Yes, some forums are slow, very slow, but all are good. When you do a search for something you can get old posts that may answer your questions.
Recently one of my old ones, from 2002, was revived. Sure is funny to read what I said way back then.
Kathy G in MI, up north Michigan, that is.

The forum activity depends entirely upon the subject matter. Some of them are really dead while others stay super busy. Are you into any type of gardening activities?

Wow..thank you all for the warm welcome!! :)
I'm in my late 60's and live in Ohio. DH is retired and we now work full time around our home in the country. We used to have gardens but now get most of our produce from the stores. LOL

Never seems to be a shortage of things to do around here, and I don't see where I will ever retire from homemaking. :)

I enjoy my computer time and talking to others from all over the country. Especially in the fall and winter. We had a mild winter in Ohio this year, but that is not always the case.

Thanks again for the warm welcome!!

A warm Georgia welcome to you from a former Ohioian. Whereabouts in Ohio are you located? Before moving to Georgia to get out of that ice and snow, we lived in the northeast corner, fairly close to the PA line, in a little town called Greenford. Surrounding towns were Boardman, Canfield, North Lima, Salem, Columbiana, and Youngstown.

Wishing you another mild winter. Please keep any snow you get up there. LOL

Missy May,

Let me begin by giving your a warm welcome from Massachusetts.

I grew up in Salem, Ohio before I ran off to the Air Force to see the world, then back to Ohio where I drove truck out of Youngstown hauling steel for years, then off to Texas and along the Gulf Coast to Florida before going back to Youngstown, but I got bored and moved here to Massachusetts. (Who knows what the future may hold,,,LOL)

Now, I have to tell you, I started a rule in this forum about a year ago.... You can only be a Newbie on your first visit to this forum,,,After that you are to be considered one of the regulars returning for the fun...

There is a large group who come in at least once a day, and some of us come in about once an hour all day..So grab a coffee, tea or cold drink of your choice and jump right in,,we are all glad to see you and look forward to chatting with your often...
