Comments (6)Welcome to the wild, wonderful, insane, magical world of winter sowing Brad!! You've found some of the friendliest folks on GardenWeb. Have you read the winter sowing FAQs as well as the information on trudi's website, wintersown.org? That's where you'll find the answers to most of your questions. There are helpful lists of plants by zone that make good WS candidates. You'll soon learn one of the downsides of common plant names is they don't tell you whether they're perennial, annual or biennial while the botanical names clear things up pretty quick. Annuals: Zinnias, sunflowers, marigolds, nasturtium, celosia, four o'clock & peppers Perennials: Columbine, blanket flower, rose campion, hollyhock, balloon flower & oriental poppies Black-eyed Susan & gloriosa daisy self seed so even though the original plant dies over the winter, you should have new ones the next year. Those are general guidelines and if I'm wrong someone here will let us both know. What type of garden are you aiming for? I'll have LOTS of perennial seeds to trade later in the fall. As a newbie, I invite you to chose a few in exchange for a SASBE. Check my trade list & shoot me an email if you're interested....See MoreJust started Menopause or Peri-Menopause, oh no!!
Comments (8)Hi melonwhelz, Sorry I didn't respond sooner, had a rough week taking my dog who has an incurable disease to all these different vets. He will be okay and I will just pray for the best as he is my bestest friend. Anyway, the day after I posted, I started to spot, thought I was going to get my period, but nope! It never happened. I have to make an app't to see my gyno. Yes, my body is very confused and sending mixed messages to my brain which I hate! At least when I had Lyme I knew all my symptoms including the mood swings and depression, but this is a whole new ballgame! I am feeling a different type of depression, almost like I am bored but too tired to do anything about it. I did receive the book "Awakening at Midlife" yesterday so I am going to start reading that. How is your sister? I help many people who have Lyme Disease because it is horrible and so misunderstood, especially by doctors because they don't know how to treat it. What helped me recover was following a book written by a brilliant doctor named Dr. David Jernigan (Beating Lyme Disease Using Alternative Medicine". I know so many people that are cured now because of Dr. Jernigan. Maybe your sister should buy the book? Anyway, I feel so drained, is that normal? I need to vacuum and do some laundry but I'm not doing it, LOL! I am laughing at your drumroll:::: THE CHANGE! Oh why oh why don't men get this? Yeah, I'm bad.

Comments (3)Z, I try to talk my clients out of cedar decks, but I really do like working with cedar. It's so light, and easy to work with...but it's soft, and will degrade quickly unless you re-seal it every year. I don't know eastern or northern cedar. I get western red here in NY. don't go with the clips. face screw the boards, and countersink the screws. the screws won't give you a problem. they don't pop up like nails. tree trash is always a problem...but shade is nice. make sure to give those trees room to grow. steve...See MoreI'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack!
