I'm thinking I'm really like bromeliads!
Comments (1)1. fcbs.org 2. yes but not direct burning midday sun 3. its best to try to duplicate rainforest conditions, either mist daily or hit with the hose "rainshower" style daily. Try to keep the water in the cup of the plant fresh. Don't water the soil directly, just let water from the cup "slop over" or you may rot the plant 4. if the cup is full when you leav, should be okay for a week if it isn't immensely hot, best to get someone to plant sit...See MoreOK - I think I'm ready! Does it sound like I'm ready?
Comments (6)Glad I came back up here to look for replies! Yay! I got the good dirt! :D I had no idea what I was doing. The guy at the co-op recommended this. I knew we were anti-Hyponex and pro co-op mix, but that's all I knew. :) Uh oh...no styrofoam? Bummer. I just did a few, and so easy to poke holes in the bottom. I tried poking holes in the yogurt cup first and split it. Oops. I think a plastic container sounds like a good idea to house everything, drilling holes in the top. Do I also have to make drainage holes in the bottom? I do have a paint pen. It's one of those Deco-Color from Michael's craft store....See MoreI'm thinking about embracing these 'weeds' - would you?
Comments (14)Skibby, you use milkweed in food? I thought it was poisonous. Didn't it kill Abraham Lincoln's mother? I let it go one year and it bloomed late in the year along with the wild ageratum. Wove the two together for a very nice hair wreath for the local Renaissance Festival. I let the trumpet honeysuckle go on the steep bank in front of the house. I tried to landscape it one year and it was quite a comedy. See in your minds eye a fat old woman toppling over as she tries to dig with a spade. See in your minds eye a fat old woman sliding downhill on her butt as she tries to sit and dig with a trowel. See in your minds eye a fat old woman bracing her left foot against the anchored spade she holds with her left hand as she digs with that trowel. See her innocently sitting upright every time a car drives by. Not a juniper nor a daylily to be found from that planting session. I gladly leave the front bank to the weeds....See MoreYou may think I'm crazy
Comments (9)Bkay, I did think of that, and you may be right. Maybe that’s why they have 40 baskets of them. And like you, I would want to unroll them before I bought and really mess up their display. In their defense, however, there were no fabrics I would call reproduction, 30s, Civil War, etc., in the shop. There were only kids‘ fabrics and holiday fabrics, which were in separate baskets, batiks, and what I would call ”contemporary” fabrics, for lack of a better description. In the area where I live, I have found only one shop that carries Civil War or reproduction fabrics. I suppose a shop has only so much room, and they have to decide what to specialize in. I’m sure the owner’s preference has an impact on what they carry too....See Morechisue
