Fall/Winter 08/09 Anyone still planting?
Comments (33)Foxes, What pretty containers for your forced bulbs. I can almost smell the hyacinths now, and look forward to future pics...hint hint. My Mother always said a little dirt never hurt anyone: it builds a good strong immune system. :) Donna, I agree, but the dirt here is the house isn't like good ole outside dirt. If it was, I could just run the sweeper and be done with it...sigh. EEEWWWWWW the dreaded sister visit. I LOVE my sister, but at her house not mine. For years and years, I was the one to go visit her at 'her' house, which is why she hasn't been here in so long. Goodness you have a wonderful and talented BIL. Congrats on finishing, Chemo. Thanks Newbie, but now I can no longer say I am done, since I bought more bulbs recently. (Note thread I was hopeless at the $1 sale yesterday Sue, I liked how you covered all your bases by calling this the 08/09 planting thread. Do you plan on going over into '09? Well it was not my intentions to still be planting in 2009, but thought others might still be. Now it seems I will be planting myself in Jan 2009...sigh.

Comments (19)Thanks for all those photos Silvia. I really appreciate the input. The violas are really so very sweet and you can't help but smile when you see them (a quote from my 4 yr old daughter) As far as the SunHosta, just by weird chance, I linked up to a local grower in Naples "American Farms" on Facebook. Holy moly they have some beautiful plants and a CROP of hosta growing. All their pics are amazing. Crenda, those stones will give off a lot of heat. I had luck with them around my palms where they get a tiny amount of shade but lots of air flow. The ones labeled "SunPatiens" did much better than the New Guinea Impatiens (which actually did say part shade). I got my 10 Amazon Dianthus in this morning and I LOVE THEM! :) Back to surf the American Farms photos and see what to look for next :) Oh and they have that Lady Phlox I mentioned above too, stating Phlox for florida! :) Here's their crop of SunHosta...See MorePlant Swap in Quitman, April 30, 10am - 1pm
Comments (20)Based on the results of a poll on Facebook, the swap is rescheduled to Sunday, May 1, from 2-5 pm. I didn't really want to cancel it as I have a TON of stuff potted up, and a lot of the folks have family coming in next weekend for Mother's day, so Sunday it is! We're just doing beverages, snacks, and desserts for the pot luck, so if you're coming, please bring something to munch on. Hope to see some of you there - it will be like old times! (Oh - and my friend with the ire ore rocks will be there on Sunday too - yippee!)...See More10 yrs and I still can’t get our living room right - HELP PLS
Comments (57871)Me too gls! Ok. Been thinking 🤔. Here’s a new twist on Miss K’s layout. The BIG new idea with Option 5 is to put her desk at foot of the bed! I put small stool or chair there but you could get a desk chair that doubles as a reading/guest chair (far left corner) to provide both options with minimal use of floor space. All the other furniture pieces are merely for basic sizing. It will all depend on budget and what we can find out in the markets! I think you can get a 48” wide x 24-48” desk which would be quite nice for laptop and papers and book or two. Enjoy....See More- 10 years agolast modified: 10 years ago
