Comments (9)Last year I bought two Snow Caps, before reading on here that they are extremely SLOW growers, or don't grow at all. They are planted directly across from each other on either side of my front walk. One gets morning sun till about 12-12:30pm then full shade. The other gets late pm sun from about4-5:00pm till dark. They were identical in size, one single eye, when planted. One year later the one that gets the 6 or so morning hours is now four eyes. The one that gets less than 1/2 that amount of sun is still one single eye. However, both are healthy and flowering. I'm with Ken.. for $3.00 why not. Alexis...See More67º today ---- It’s SNOWING!
Comments (13)Hi all, Measuring out on the “flattest parts” of my yard, it looks like I have about 9” of snow on the ground from this storm! When it first started the ground was warm and the first stuff was melting, so for a “real” total, I estimate at least an inch or two more than that. I was REALLY surprised when I got up this morning! Thru the whole thing, including right up to when I went to bed last nite, it had only snowed “fine” snow, and pretty lightly most of the time, and it really didn’t seem to have added up “that” much, but “overnite,” and I was up till 2:00 a.m., “something” happened, and there was a whole bunch of it out there by daylight! I shoveled the sidewalk yesterday while it was snowing—heavy stuff since it was melting on the bottom, and then a neighbor shoveled my whole driveway (which I won’t be using!) and a “shovel wide” down my whole walk, which makes it “legal!” I was out earlier and “widened” my sidewalk, and got some of the stuff left on the neighbor’s walk! I need to get exercise somehow in winter! Wonder if we’ll get any more Big Ones this year! Zach, Mr. Snow Hater, were you here the year we had a new blizzard every week for a month or more? I think it was ‘06/’07! The first one was just before Christmas, and then they just kept going. Thousands of people were “stranded” at the airport for DAYS, and they ran out of food and everything else. I think that was the storm when United “lost” an unaccompanied minor at DIA for something like four hours—and the airline didn’t even know she was missing! And there was somebody selling Genuine Colorado Snow on eBay! The buyers, of course, had to pay the shipping! The ruts in the street in front of me were a foot deep—for most of a month! Denver had DIRTY SNOW! For at least a month! Dirty Snow is a rare creature here along the Front Range! I had lived here for more than 40 years and had never seen anything like that winter! And I’m sure I never will again in this lifetime! So, Mr. Snow Hater, it COULD be worse! How much did everybody else get this time? Skybird P.S. I was composing this when you did your post, Zach!...See More- 11 years ago
