Where have they gone...where have they gone
Comments (4)Forgot to add, if they are sensible, they are out in their gardens instead of wandering the Web. :)...See MoreGuess everyone is gone to Ricky's swap
Comments (13)I am going against doctor's orders but I am having a blast with this cooler weather and spending time with all my GW friends as I repot plants that were given to me and remembering the time we spent together. I am going to be trying some new recipes soon that I can share at the next swap I am lucky enough to attend. I am now a lot happier as my fingers have been in dirt though I am careful not to get any near my Picc line and I have it covered with a plastic sleeve and I have my foot covered and I am digging carefully and not getting dirt all over me as usual which takes part of the fun out of it, but things are looking up, Lime Ma Nature, those dang stinking, good for nothing, tresspassing weeds along with that obnoxious, onery and downright nasty air potato vines have taken over my outside plants and then my Florida room olants are eiher half dead from lack of water while I've been laid up or they are totally out of control. The other good thing about today is that I have thought of wonderful things to make for Christmas gifts for my friends at work and my friends here that will cost little but mean a lot. I am full 0f energy and ideas and being cooped up gives me time to do some of these projects and each one will be made with lots of love and memories with promises for tomorrow. I am searching high and low for that danged memory card and if I do not find it soon I hope to be able to purchase a new one the first of the month if I get permission to return to work. I have pictures to take and sharw with you guys and more than anything I wish to say thanks to those that have share plants, seeds, pictures, knowledge, hints, and friendship with me. That is what makes this site so special because you gardeners truly care abou your plants and fellow gardeners and are as generous as most gardeners are. Now I am back out to tackle those alien intruders in my garden if I have to take dynamite to get them out. I may have to hoop a rope to the air potato vine and hook it either to the back of my husband's power chair I am hving to use or to the back of the truck to get their claim-staking, claim-jumping feet off of my property. (limping away mumbling and cursing and cursing at those unwanted intruders with a flame thrower and dynamite in hand and a gleam in my eye) I need Tony's help here. Happy gardening, Linda...See MoreWhere is everyone?
Comments (11)with this weather, i haven't wanted to be anywhere near the computer! I've been storing and labelling seed for next year...cutting down annuals and perennials that have given up...mowing the lawn just to mulch the leaves...chopping as much firewood as i can get my hands on...weeding...dividing bulbs...figured one of the wheelbarrows was history, so drilled holes into it and painted it to be used as a planter. this is normally the time of year when i run around in the woods, freeing saplings from honeysuckle, or cutting down standing dead wood for firewood, because there is nothing else to do. this year has been so weird: 2 floods, then drought, then going straight from summer to winter....See MoreWhere has everyone gone???
Comments (8)It's pretty normal for forums like this to have some turnover in participation. People's situations change - new job, new spouse, new kid, whatever - and they don't have time any more. Get a firewall on your computer and program it to reject the popup ads. That'll save your sanity. The text ads will still be there, but they're a lot easier to take. I refuse to click on a popup anyway, even if I'm interested, just on principle....See MoreUser
