Hardy Grass Thread - 2005
Comments (66)Pudge, I don't think that the reason your Ruby Grass failed to bloom has to do with the length of the season. They were started here in March and as you can see from the photo below, they are in bloom. The biggest problem with this grass is that it requires consistent heat to bloom. I grew it last year and it didn't bloom at all (or very weakly) even though my transplants were very large. But last summer was very cool here and the night temperatures were generally between 15 and 20C. This year we had heat here (and loads of it). July & August was consistently between 29 and 35 C. Our night temperatures hovered in the 20s and itÂs still hot. I took this picture at the Botanical Gardens on August 28th. I am disappointed with this grass since although they are beautiful, they are invasive in warmer places and in cooler locations they don't bloom well. Think IÂll stick to Stipa tenuissima or Pennisetum setaceum. Marilena...See MoreCentral Ohio Plantswap/Potluck - Sat. May 21, 2005 - Thread IV
Comments (54)Well, I just want to let everyone know that Lee, my DH, is working on posting the pics that he took at the swap. They will appear once we get an account with Photobucket or the like. There are about 50 pics so get your cuppa in hand before you sit down to look at them. Karen/Bakemom-I should have had Jeanne take my photo. Lee doesn't make me look skinny! Margie/Granny 57- Isaac is all healed up. My wrist is better but I have tennis elbow that was masked by the wrist pain. The only cure is complete rest for the joint. My right elbow! Like that's going to happen with a mother of five who gardens!!!!! Who will carry those eternal baskets of laundry? Have a great weekend everyone! Plant up those last few that are still in pots. I can't plant my trumpet vines until I get my gazebo made from my 8 foot satellite dish. I have one metal/wrought iron porch support lined up from freecycle. I just can't fit buying new ones into the budget. If you all know of any stray porch supports hanging around let me know. I'll be glad to give them a new home! ~~Mimi...See More2005 What's on your Order list?

Comments (33)Thanks for all the well-wishes. (I'm feeling much better today). Amazing what a good night's sleep will do for you - and a day out of work finally (ahem). Ohiomom, your statements were exactly what I was thinking when I started the thread. If I had to mill my own flour, etc, I never would have survived years ago. I'm way too selfish for something like that. I need my "me" time. The problem with the boxed stuff is there's so much junk in most of it. But it's what I grew up with and I know many, many families do today. Life goes by fast. But it is hard to find a happy medium between healthy and convenient. It's funny, several people listed it as convenient food, but I don't think of canned/boxed chicken broth as a convenience food. Of course it is. I use so much of it for so many different recipies, I can't make enough on my own to keep up. But I still do, at least once a week. Same thing with peanut butter...just makes sense to buy it. So I got up some energy this morning and drove to the store to buy everything for chicken soup. But I still bought a can of Progresso just in case. (never had it before, BTW, but a couple of people mentioned it, so I'll probably give it a shot)...See More- 11 years ago
