Introducing myself - I'll try to keep this short
Comments (23)Lauraeli, LOL! I was wondering if anybody would notice my ponies! Merkity, thanks! Yeah, it is Spanish moss. I just chuck it in the sink for a couple of hours when it starts to look dry and that seems to keep it happy. Also I keep it out of direct sun. Thanks, Karin! Your bench isnâÂÂt so bad either! Those lights! Caw. The only real artificial lighting I have is a cheap aquarium LED tube over a terrarium. Glass would be fine. Fortyseven makes a good point. Plus before I made my shelf, I used to grow my cuttings in old fish tanks. It worked fine. I even remember once putting a plant under a desk lamp in a dark corner. Definitely no UV there, but the plant didnâÂÂt seem to notice! And actually, come to think of it, I think my perspex was UV resistant anyway⦠The only problem you might have with glass is its weight. But if you want to make something less big and unwieldy than I did, that probably wouldnâÂÂt be an issue. My shelf is narrow and the struts are quite flexible, so it falls over easily when itâÂÂs not jammed between the bench and the shower⦠if I move house, I think IâÂÂll have to bolt it to the wall or something....See MoreDon't know where to post this so I'll start here
Comments (14)The shepperd hook I have has a straight botton, i.e. needle sharp like, so it's actually very easy to insert the pots from the bottom up. You say yours has double prongs on the end side? How about drilling a hole large enough for the prongs to be able to fit? One word of caution regarding the metal pots idea: depending on where you live and how hot your climate is, you may wish not to do this. In my climate, metal pots left outside in the afternoon sun are a sure way to fry the plant's roots. Even plastic pots have similar problems in Summer. Clay works very well, even though we have to be more dilligent concerning watering. Eduarda...See MoreThey're still blooming so I'll keep posting
Comments (14)THANK YOU for all your nice comments on my photos. We had another unseasonably warm day today after the rain of yesterday and the plants are loving it and are being tricked into thinking this can go on forever. They are in for a shock when it starts acting like New England weather in October. As am I! I never have gotten used to the cold even though I have lived here all my adult life...(I was born in south Georgia and lived there as a child). Cindy, no Zeus doesn't mind the leash although he isn't used to being outside so everything spooks him....the falling autumn leaves or a car going down the road will send him into a panic. I am glad that the outside scares him, though. I have lost too many cats to the coyotes and fisher cats in the woods that surround my yard. Lily & Nemo are too old to change their ways, having been outside cats all their lives and everyday I worry they won't make it home after their excursions in the woods. Celeste...See MoreI'll know pretty soon
Comments (41)Wow you guys just made my day. I am thrilled to get all the messages of hope ....I will let you all know as soon as I find out. What ever it is, I can handle. I hope and pray that it is good news, but even if it isn't, I'll still keep on dancing the fast dance. As soon as I know, I'll post......See Morevallkyrie1979
