I know you would have done the same..right?
Comments (10)I assumed it was normal to return home with many, many flats regardless of how much you start on your own! The flats at the nursery usually are so pretty how can one say no?? Currently, I have at least 10 flats, 6 six packs each in my garage. Then we must discuss the 20 1/2 perennials in the garage and 15 of so sitting in the yard waiting to be planted. I thought growning on my own would decrease my spending but... nope... not happining!!!!! Christy...See MoreDid something I have NEVER done before-what do you think?
Comments (5)Marie, that is wrong in so many ways. Those things are so hurtful. I've been getting a lot of not so nice e-mails concerning politics. I just hit "Reply" and tell them not everyone agrees with their political view and please check Snopes before sending them. I also ask that they not send anything political to me. Hey, if it hurts their feelings, too bad. That's why I'm grateful this site doesn't allow it!!...See MoreWhat have you done with, and how have you organized photos?
Comments (5)Welllll.... I did manage to get started on the task after taking the rest of the day away from it. I talked to DH too, which was helpful and he was supportive of organizing them in a more efficient manner- including the possibility of getting rid of the old albums. Started this morning by quick sorting the box into piles based on time frames. Tried not to let emotions interfere. After looking at the old albums, I realize that they had been rearranged already and were out of order, as well as having quite a few blank spots. Add to that they are older and starting to yellow, so all the photos are out of those and into their proper piles now. So far have sorted a few piles, getting rid of any duplicates and any photos that are just bad condition or that I've always hated. Putting them in labeled plastic bags temporarily as I go. I think it will require a bit of fine tuning and for now I'm pulling out the obvious and seeing what is left- from there I can go through them yet again, and cull them further. It is time consuming, but I think it will be worth it in the end. Sort of thinking about going with photo storage boxes, where you have a bigger box that then holds a number of smaller boxes, which hold about 100 photos each. I like the idea of having the photos in that type of system, where you can pull them out and look at them by category if you actually do want to look at them, but it will depend on how many photos we are left with in the end, and if the boxes will be compact enough to make that a good solution. DH also offered to scan some into the computer. Might end up doing that too- not sure if we'd need the smaller organizing boxes if we just did that. Oh well, just thinking out loud now. If anybody here has done such a thing, I'm still listening. OK, now this topic can start moving down the list :)...See MoreHave you prepared to bring your trees in yet? What have you done?
Comments (17)Meyer, we have had so much absurdly heavy rainfall this Summer, and so many dismally overcast days. My Citrus are getting more direct sun, all day now than they got ALL SUMMER. I checked my local super expended and I see a minimum of 58 F., with highs ranging from 70-78. Meteorologist was hinting at a warm up for early October. Honestly, I am very tropical but this is my favorite time of year. I brought in my large Diffenbachia, Burgundy Rubber tree, Chinese Evergreens (Algaonema), and Crotons, but most hypertropicals are still outside (coconuts, mango, bananas, guava). The ONLY plants that never get put out over Summer are the African Violets and they look great, probably the ultimate "houseplant". Right now, only concerned with moving the plants away from the structures for multi reroofing, of the house and two garages. Subtropical storm Ida brought in access of 8 inches of rain in a few hours and made me well aware of the necessity of a secure roof over my head (this was preceded by a foot of rain in July and another foot in August). Loquat trees are not tender. I grew mine from seed and have several. They are evergreen hardy down to 5-10 F, but the DEER love them, so I not only need to containerize them, but move them to a protected deck for now then, garage. The plant is maybe 18 inches tall but the fruit is freakishly enormous. Kent mango...See More- 6 years ago
