Where does your time go?
Comments (10)Do you get zoo poo to take home for your gardens? Your life certainly sounds busy and I wonder how you do find the time to garden. I no longer belong to organized religion, but do pray in my gardens any time I feel like it. When summer gets here won't you have more time to play once the kids are out of school? Although then we have the awful heat and humdity to work in and that's NOT fun at all. Enjoy the times you are in your garden and try not to stress. I know it's easier said than done, but still worth a try. :-) I work part-time and garden when I can. The past week I've also been dealing with back problems and that has kept me out of the gardens too. My mind seems to be in the gardens a lot though, whether I'm there physically or not. I've got seeds to plant, cuttings to make, projects to do. All we can do is take each day as it comes and try to go with the flow. Have a great weekend and I hope you get a little time to garden.

Comments (12)Since I was a grandma at age 38, time is not at all, at all, at all, relevant. (I was 19 when son was born, he was 19 when his son was born, I was still "young".) I didn't feel old then and now that that grandson is 25,I think I look great for "a woman of my age". The big secret is that inside I am still 33!!! But, don't tell anybody - there are definite advantages to being a "cranky old lady". My grandma was 104 and still played cards twice a week (in her own apartment, serving oodles of appetizers and nibbles she made), other grandma was 99 and made bread and doughnuts every Saturday for the retirement home she lived in - for 25 years straight, because someone told her that she could not live alone at 74 - pshaw. That is my goal - to still be a fruit farmer and be making homemade jam well into 40 years past retirement -- that's started 10 years ago as I retired at 55 so I could get out of the stifling corporate workplace to sell my jams and baked treats at my local farmers market every week, making people happy with "old-fashioned" so I still have 30 years left. I'll be 66 come June and have wrinkles galore - every single one I've earned. I went to my 25th reunion in 1988 and saw such despair that I vowed never to go again. They all, like, stopped living past high school or college. Could not relate. They had no "present tense". I greatly object to obituaries that cite from whence and where someone finished high school or college as if that made them who they were and then -- they stopped. I much prefer the obits that say he/she loved their family and what they did to show that, or took in strays, or painted murals, or knitted hats for preemies, or grew gorgeous roses, or volunteered at soup kitchens, made great casseroles, or knew how to prune bushes and trees, or drove cross country with 3 kids, or helped out at a preschool, or whatever REAL THING they did AFTER they graduated umpteen years before. Those people I can relate to, not the ones whose ONLY accomplishment in life was that they graduated. Nancy...See MoreWhere does your work go?
Comments (8)Would you believe I actually landscaped an area of my yard for the sole purpose that I needed a place to display my mosaics? And now I've got so many projects for it lined up, I will be busy for years. If I could only get to them...Lately, my progress is slow because my spare time has been spent practicing Christmas carols. I'm working with a group of friends to put on performances at senior centers and rest homes in December. Wish me luck. I've never performed in "public" but it sounded like such a nice idea, I couldn't pass it up....See MoreGame time! My loss is your gain. Prize is a grp of 3 branches
Comments (78)Btw I'm jesse I'm very new to the plumeria forum as I have only been growing plumerias for about a year & 1/2 but I managed to get 8 plumies already and I want more as I'm addicted to them :). I mean who isn't after their first one?! I'm from Orange CA born and raised but currently live in riverside CA. Btw I would of never thought to root plumeria in water! I thought it would rott. I'm definitely going to try it when I get a cutting. When I bought some plumerias I was given 4 cutting that had a lot of green on them not that mature. I got them to root but it took forever. I put them in water to plump up because they were really soft by the time I got home (they were already kinda soft when I received them. They were free so I took them) and then I put rooting hormone on them the next day and mixed miracle grow soil with perlite and put them in 1 gallon pots with black stones ontop of the soil and watered good and put in direct sun and I did mist the cuttings so they wouldn't go soft again. I did water the soil every few days because in direct sun the soil dried out pretty quick. They did root I recently gave 2 away and I kept 2 I dont remember what Variety they are all I know they were some sort of pink. They bloomed but don't even remember how they look like I was on vacation when they started. now they have 3 branches on them. I feel that I did a good job for my first time at rooting plumeria cuttings. Now that I remember I also rooted another cutting along with those 4. It's a cutting that is very special to me know that was gifted to me by my Uncle when he saw I had just got into plumerias he already had 2 but he had bought some cuttings and he gave me one. When he gave me the cutting it had flowers on it and it was a Y the blooms I kind of remember were 2 or possibly 3 dark colors I remember I liked it a lot. When I first tried to root it I failed and it rotted so then had to save it and cut off and just kept 1 cutting that eventually rooted and now has formed another Y but haven't seen it bloom again. It's very special to me because my uncle has Gone to heaven this past December and he left me my last great gift that I will treasure. Anyways But I will definitely next time try the water rooting. Thanks for the info and I will look forwards in learning much more from you!...See Moreharborrose_pnw
