Comments (2)Is there a reason for the duplicate post? Sometimes this Forum needs to be refreshed several times...or else you can't see New Threads or new replies to Threads. Is that what happened?

Comments (10)My grandfather was too old to be a soldier in the First World War and so instead volunteered to go overseas with the "Y" (YMCA). The Y played a very important role in the care of the "Yanks", as our soldiers were commonly called at that time. For some reason, the "Y" men were called secretaries, and secretaries were not supposed to be close to the front lines. But they delivered food and supplies and he wound up being in the path of mustard gas. For the rest of his life, he coughed very often and it sounded like it was coming way from his toes. I'm sure that it shortened his life. I believe that the place of the Y in that war has largely been forgotten in history. I have some of his letters from 1918-19 that he sent home to his daughter from France. If anyone is interested, some day I would like to write about some of the important work they did. Or maybe I should just write it and let you see the unexpected duties they took on. I believe that it would not be boring. The year that I was 12, our aunt and uncle would take us kids out in their big Studebaker to see the beautiful mansions in a far suburb. I was the only one who got carsick. They were Christian Scientists, so I felt that I couldn't tell them that I was sick. My brothers and I had to sit in the crowded back seat and I spent the whole "treat" trying not to cause an accident in their elegant car. I never did, but the trips were always a nightmare....See MoreI went brain dead over the winter- veggies/annuals question
Comments (5)I only wintersow lettuce and spinich usually, of those I just wintersow them fairly early, late feb , early march is fine, they are sprouted already. Direct Sow, I only do peas now. I will do the rest of the veggies, late may. Between the third and forth weeks. (for me green beans(5 diffrent types typically, sometimes more), cukes, zuchinni, pumpkins (for kids). None of them will germinate too much earlier anyways. I do all my direct sown types (i wintersow zinnia but say, something like cosmos, I never bother, direct sow those all the time) I will do cosmos around may 1st to may 10th....See MoreWent on vacation Annabelle blooms brown
Comments (3)My Annabelles are on their way out...flowers are now green from white. They'll dry out soon enough. I wouldn't worry too much, Annabelles are very hardy. They likely won't rebloom for you this year and I'll betcha they do very well for you next year. Lately, I've just been pruning the flowers and leaving the stalks. I've found that I've been keeping the height I need in the plant in the next year's growth. Good Luck....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
