What to expect when your E. obesa is expecting....
Comments (11)A friend of mine has used two different methods to catch the seeds since, as he explained to me, the seeds will get flung quite a distance during pod dehiscence. One method was to tie a small piece of old pantyhose around the flowering area of the plant. This allows the plant to 'breath' still and prevents the seeds from getting away. In method two, (which I believe is the only method he uses now) he takes a small "blob" of the fiber fill used for stuffing in things like pillows and stuffed animals, streches it out into a rather wispy 'cloud' and mounds/gently wraps that over and around the pods. Again it allows for good air circulation, and catches the seeds thereby making seed recovery easy. He said he also finds this easier to apply than method one as well as less worrisome with regard to damaging the plant....See MoreWhat do you expect? What do your relatives expect?
Comments (16)When we go to mom and her dh's, we stay at their home because they have room for everyone. My dh and I share the cleaning/kid duty with no problems from anyone. I do basic cleaning while visiting but generally don't do deep cleaning. I would do what ever mom asked though. I feel I will be needed more as they grow older and I'm kind of looking forward to helping out. Now,,dh, he often does some heavy duty thing with mom's dh to help them get a complex job done. He enjoys that because it gives him something important to do and of course his help makes things better for his in laws. When my family visits, they stay in our finished basement so they can have some privacy. They can sleep in, read, watch tv, until they decide to come up and visit. It works for us. I've only had one "argument" with my FIL and mom's dh. Both times I left very quickly with out a word. I think everyone knows I don't put up with stupid crap more than one day. That's just the way I work. Life is to short to live with chaos....See MoreHello, I'm new here what should I expect?
Comments (0)Also, I would like for someone to send me some herbs seeds like basil,sage or mints. I'll be unable to trade because I'm too new here to know what's going in this community. I'm mostly looking for shiso, lemon basil or holy basil. Thank you....See MoreWhat should I expect if I plant jonquil bulbs in a pot outside now?
Comments (1)If the bulbs are still viable (firm; no signs of soft spots or rot), probably just some foliage later in the season. If you allow the foliage to grow and ripen properly and the protect the containers over winter from freezing, then it is likely you will see normal daffodil behavior - including flowers - next spring...See MoreSombreuil
