August seed starting?
Q
Comments (3)
probably none ... lets say 14 days to germination ... thats 8/23 ... then 45 to 60 days to bloom .... and that is already 10/23 ... plus.. babe seeds thrive in the warm days of a damp spring.. with cool nights .. and frankly.. that does not describe August in any part of the country ... keeping seedlings alive.. might be very hard ... all that said.. if you have the seed... try a few in some pots .... it would bring you more pleasure to try.. rather than just mope about it.. i think mother earth would not allow you to manipulate heat and water as easily ... i hope you are on the road to moving on from the tragedy ... playing in soil.. or media.. always helps me cope with what life throws at me ... ken

Baylady, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Possibly a good garden friend maybe heard of your loss, and decided to surprise you. I did a search on the zip and see it is in MS. I then did a member search on members from MS with trade lists. The results are below...maybe you will see a likely member name on the list....but maybe they have no trade list and aren't on the results. I hope you find the sender. Take care. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: MS members with trade lists posted from search

What's the last you heard? Her brother is in jail, charged with assault and battery on his father. The story in the papers is that her brother and father were arguing about a phone. The brother grabbed the father by the neck and the father fell down, had a heart attack, and died. That's all there is in the news at the moment.

The trapped girl / Robert Dugoni. A #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller. This book, # 4 in the Tracy Crosswhite series, is another very good mystery with lots of twists and turns. An added bonus that I really enjoyed is the flavor of Seattle and Washington State that came through so vividly in the novel. Tracy Crosswhite is a Seattle homicide detective who has been called to investigate when a woman’s body is found in a submerged crab pot. The police believe that the woman is Andrea Strickland, last seen during a mountain climb with her husband. He claims that Andrea left their tent to use bathroom facilities and disappeared. It looks suspicious since Andrea’s mountain climbing equipment was still at their campsite and it was discovered that her husband was the beneficiary of her life insurance policy. But things are not always what they seem to be, in the novel or even within Detective Crosswhite’s professional life. Publisher's Weekly Review: In Dugoni's outstanding fourth Tracy Crosswhite mystery (after 2016's In the Clearing), the Seattle homicide detective investigates the death of Andrea Strickland, a young woman whose body a fisherman finds in a crab pot raised from the sea. Andrea, who was reported missing after a treacherous mountain hike, was already presumed to be dead. The victim's husband is the prime suspect and the beneficiary of a sizable life insurance policy. As the plot twists and turns, Tracy is struck by the similarities between her own life and Andrea's: both suffered family tragedies and rigidly structured their lives to compensate for the loss. For Tracy, solving the case is personal-but on a different level than the murder of her sister years before. In less deft hands this tale wouldn't hold water, but Dugoni presents his victim's life in discrete pieces, each revealing a bit more about Andrea and her struggle to find happiness. Tracy's quest to uncover the truth leads her into life-altering peril in this exceptional installment.

How hard it is to lose a beloved family member in any case, but so much harder when it happens in this way.

Part of what troubles one is that they were not able to help, whether through being unaware of the depth of the trouble, of feeling that help offered hadn't been adequate.

May God help you all to find a measure of peace, through all of this.

Some people just do not realize what one may be going through. I just posted this on facebook, that people really need to think before they speak. One does NOT always know what is going on in anothers life. Geeze, I'm sooo sorry for your loss.
