I am a new member from Canada. I am french speaking but I read english very well! Writing is more difficult but I am gonna do my best ;)

I have 10 gender of bromeliads, in the house in winter and in the garden in summer. My favorites are Neoregelia.

Nice to meet you!

Hi, Nikki and everybody who still remember me :) My interests also kind of changed - from having an organised plant jungle in the living room to fabrics/ribbons/lace/yarn covered downstairs family/sewing room. I am into designers doll clothes making now. Love every minute of it. I still lurk this board every couple of days and noticed a lot of people have been dissapearing lately. I still have many of my favorite plans left (mostly hoyas and sans), but considering downsizing even more. I am glad I am not the only one who is changing hobbies. Just thought I gave you an update...LOL

Hi Christy and welcome to the Forum. I live/work in Gilbert and would be happy to offer my past successes and failures when it comes to gardening and landscaping here. Right now it's just too hot to do much, but it's a great time to plan your yard. October is the best month to plant because plants can take the entire fall/winter/spring to put down a good root system that will carry them through next summer's blast of heat. August is the best time to kill part of your Bermuda lawn areas if you want to 'shrink' them. I've listed a link at the bottom for information on how to do this as it can be a bit tricky. The Town of Gilbert has great resources for you when it comes to landscaping. They have several free booklets - one on design, one on plant selection and one on watering/irrigation systems. There is also lots of info on their web site. I'll send you my phone number via email in case you want to call. Here is a link that might be useful: Town of Gilbert Landscape Tips

Hello ... You've been missed! Definitely spring fever all weekend here too. For some odd reason, despite all the crazy amounts of snow, I felt like the winter went by very fast! And to me, it was more like winters I remembered from childhood, with a constant cover of snow all winter and now typical spring weather.

Junkyardgirl, I know that feeling and it can be very scary when it is happening. The trouble with the EKG is, you have to be having the fluttering at the time, or nothing shows. I finally had a time when I fluttered and the office was opened. I never wanted to go to the ER because I knew it would settle down again eventually. I have had the catheter done before and had an allergic reaction to the dye they used in it. That was a lot of fun! My major concern is wondering how the zapping goes along with my artificial valve (mitral valve I have had for 22 years.) I told you I was a basket case! I bet you thought I was exaggerating! Vannie, 5 #s isn't very much. I guess DH will be waiting on me hand and foot for a week. YIKES! Patti, Thank you for the encouragement about the pacemaker. I hope I don't need that. I remember watching the cath on the screen and that was VERY interesting. HOUSE: We had that showing this morning, but we haven't heard anything. I'm hopeing that they had others to look at, but I know HE really liked the big yard. They will not find that anywhere else around here. I keep checking the properties available around here. Thank you again for all your prayers and encouragement. Hayjud

Hi everyone

Lavandula - Sorry I've been so long responding to your post but I've been very time poor the last couple of weeks but hopefully things are now back to normal.

I'd personally like to welcome you to our friendly little group and I'm sure you'll find some interesting things and cultural tips in our posts, I'm sure we'll also learn something from you as well, because to the best of my knowledge we don't have any other growers from Canada posting on here.

It seems we have something in common, as Neoregelias are my favourite bromeliads as well, even though I have a largish mixed collection.

It's good to see you've been posting already which is great, as some of our members haven't been posting too much recently.

I hope you enjoy being a part of our group and look forward to hearing from you regularly.

All the best, Nev.
