What happened to the old GP days?
Comments (100)Hi old friends, Been a long time and just lurk now and then. Lots of changes, home, state, gardens and friends, but always think of my GP friends. I had to look up my old password, and realized that my AARP, Medicare passwords are easier to find than GP! LOL Especially this time of the year I visit LindaC in my mind, Suzi, Andi, Liz and Robert. Ruth Anns, newly painted bathroom and the pergola was a story that still makes me smile. I recently shared the Dogs in Elk, with friends that they read as they went elk hunting and they laughed till they cried. Tammy was a trip and would never attend our swaps in N. CA although she was invited. I miss my old CA friends and hope that Maggie and others drop in to say hello. As you may remember, we moved after 40 years in CA to our home state of WA. Exchanged the Salvias and Cannas for Ferns and Rhodies. We love our new life and being with the hundreds of relatives has been wonderful. At the time of my son's illness your prayers were so important and he is now the founder and director of his own foundation. Middle son is now here with us in the PNW and husband is retired. I brought plants with me especially those from trades on GP and from the Get-together. That was one of the most fun events I have ever attended and Robert knocking on the motel room and saying 'Candy Gram' was one of the funniest moments of all. Linda, I use chicken wings for my soup and everyone loves it. What a lot of fun we used to have. Dicken, he is in my heart and I still cry when I reread the emails from him. It was a sweet time and life is far more busy now that we are with all our families. Have a wonderful spring, we are still in freezing nights here in Seattle but the ferns and Rhodies are happy. Here is the link to my son's website for those who remember Ron. Here is a link that might be useful: Ophoenix.org...See MoreWhat happens if you plant short day onions in Zone 4?
Comments (5)With enough fertilizer, you should get a decent amount of tops and very small bulbs. I'd say just plant them close (I'd also check just where in China they came from ... I agree that normally seed planted in October should be a short day variety but you might just get lucky so it might be worth a chance to try and start some inside in Late February and set them out in Late April / early May and see what happens. Also, based on what I know of your zone I would only be putting plants and maybe sets in around late April / early May since seed would want to have been started at least a couple of months earlier indoors....See MoreWhat has happened to this web site?
Comments (34)Oh, yes, I do remember that one. I first came here in 1999 after buying my first Windows 98 comp. I had lost the ability to connect to the Internet, even though I was connected to my ISP (dialup) and all offline activities worked. A very knowledgable helper walked me through editing my registry to correct the problem. I had to use a computer at the local library to come here for help. Unfortunately, I was later much maligned, even called un-American, for my stance in opposition to our invasion of Iraq. This person later left this and another forum, and I remained, in spite of the attacks on me. I'll always be grateful to him for his help, but I guess this is an example of what off topic discussions can lead to....See Morewhat ever happened to site with finished kitchen photos?
Comments (12)I would love to see the Completed Kitchens blog updated! I don't think Houzz has made it obsolete. There's just no one "in charge" of updating it. It was never connected enough to Gardenweb for Houzz to remove it. If you mean they have "obsoleted" it by performing the same job better, then I would also disagree. Houzz posts beautiful pictures of designer kitchens, but the finished kitchen blog provides all the nitty gritty details that were are really after. It's mainly the clever storage solutions that I love. A Houzz decorator might include 2 or 3 details shots of their drawers in a kitchen. A Kitchen Blog poster shares all the clever ideas they shoved into the space. Plus the sources for everything and feedback on how well it has worked for them. She mentioned she didn't have much free time anymore and that it was discouraging to her that people weren't granting permission to post their finished kitchens -- it seemed everyone wanted to look at kitchens, but they didn't want to add theirs. That is so strange to me. People were willing to post their kitchen pictures to a heavily trafficked forum, but they didn't want them shared on a blog that was trafficked by just a fraction of the users of the initial forum???...See More- 10 years ago
