Adenium seedlings are so hungry and grow so slow...
Comments (5)Hey guys I am pretty new here too. I have not had any of the problems you guys are talking about. But the size of mine seems to be all over the board. I am looking forward seeing what your seedlings look like at 2 1/2 months. Mine are approaching the 5 or 6 week mark. I know I planted very early April. I will post a new picture tomorrow of mine as well, I'd like to compare as well. One thing that I want to note and hopefully get some comment back on is this. I had one get pulled up/knocked down by my son "petting" them. It was just laying on top of the soil so I made a hole with a toothpick and dropped it in and watered it. This little guy has taken off! It's not tall as some but the leaf growth and the trunk thickness is as good or better than all the rest in my opinion. It's too early to say but I am wondering if at some point dropping these guys down doesn't promote more girth? I think that in another 2 or 3 weeks I will be ready to transplant and I intend to experiment a little with them by dropping some down and seeing what happens. What do you guys think? Here's a link to my older pictures of the seedlings. John Here is a link that might be useful: My seedlings....See MoreSo, how slow are they?
Comments (7)Like Madplanter and Coll say, sounds like you have the ideal growing conditions for Liberty. Mine was planted in 2009, in the ground, competing with roots of a spruce tree. It doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight. It's been subjected to high winds this spring and doesn't get as much water as some of my other hostas. Notice that the margins on mine are wider on the side facing east. I'm going to see whether I can give it more light from the other side. I try to allow for mature size when I plant but it doesn't always work out the way I want....See MoreWhy is this forum so slow? Marion where are you?
Comments (3)well i'm here, i check everyday and haven't seen many posting either, i thought to myself, maybe these people don't like me and they don't want me to post. it is cold here still in northern canada, the buds are just coming out on the trees. i was going to have a get to gether for Al last year in our backyard, we have this massive apple tree that was his pride and joy, do you know that there wasn't one apply on that tree, it was like the tree knew Al wasn't there, so we didn't have the memorial service. i am still going through the house -- i guess spring cleaning, and donating things. i still am not sleeping well atr night and read till about 3 or 4 in the morning so i sleep until 3-4 in the afternoon, so my schedule is not there anymore. i think i might still be playing catchup, Al was an early riser and me being his caregiver, i think took alot out of me. my car broke down on may 23, our son's 25th birthday, so i ended up getting a new starter, good thing it was still under warranty, but it still almost cost 100.00. to top it off, when the tow truck took my car to the garage, and i phoned to see if it was ready, they couldn't find my car (lol-it's a neon i was hoping someone stole it, but no luck). i got my hair cut and coloured, too feel more human, and i am making myself put on makeup everyday. i have even started knitting again, but i am still so lost. enjoy the day, i'm going to tend to my pernnials that have been neglected for afew years. debbie...See MoreHey Midwest sellers, how's it going?

Comments (13)We were FSBO March-August last year and with a C21 realtor since. We started at $165k, went down to $160k, $155K, $152.5k. and now are at $149.4k. We have had a lot of interest lately. A nurse I gave a flyer to wants to buy, but needs a two-year rent-to-own. We need to close by November 2008 to have lived in the home two of the past 5 years, so her timeframe does not match ours. We have had a good half dozen showings in the past two weeks, so I am hopeful. Our realtor talked us into offering to change our newly remodeled, fully custom kitchen in order to fit a small table or serving counter there. We will offer to pay for this to be done after closing if we are given a full-price offer. No eat-in kitchen and an awkard dining L in the LR are the two complaints we hear all the time. It sucks. The kitchen worked great for me, and tearing it up kind of makes me sick, but I will do whatever we need to sell at this point. My job is now in question. I KNOW I will lose at least half of my hours in October, and I could lose the other half sooner. We have got to sell before this happens. As a contractor, there is no unemployment, and building a caseload at an agency takes time and pays less than half of what I am getting now! TIME TO SELL!...See MoreMiGreenThumb (Z5b S.Michigan/Sunset 41) Elevation: 1091 feet
