January 2021 Week 4
Comments (67)trying to catch up. Amy, how do you fertilize your citrus? I have a citrus (can't remember if it's lime or lemon) that a sweet friend gave to me over a year ago. I repotted it and put it outside last spring and brought it indoors. It looks traumatized, but is still alive. I'm skipping through all the herb and tea information. I love tea. I love herbs, but I simply don't have time to think about it too much right now. I found a macrame owl in an antique shop about 4 years ago. It's hanging in my hall right now. I'll take a pic and come back and edit this post with it. Amy, I hope you and Ron are feeling better! Lynn, I use jiffy seed starter when I don't use the peat pellets. Danny, beautiful pics! Larry, I'm so sorry about your little baby. You must miss him so much. Hazelnuts....I like them too. I have to laugh when I hear them mentioned, though. In an episode of Portlandia, the chickens are fed a "diet of sheep's milk, soy, and hazelnuts". Local hazelnuts. It's funny that your hazelnuts are from Oregon, Danny. Portlandia...Oregon. It's my favorite right after the AC Repair Man and the No Grocery Bag ones. Makes me LOL. Rebecca, I saw that episode too! I would like to try to make those tomato cages as well! The broccoli I started a few days ago is popping up. I stared 36 pellets of cabbage tonight. Work has been nuts. Nothing like reinventing your job. I'm super tired. Thanks, Covid19. Oh, HU/Rick continues to make great progress on the greenhouse. I still want to catch up on the other new threads, but probably won't tonight....See MoreFebruary 2021 Week 4
Comments (69)It's a blah day. . . Not cold, not hot, but not pleasant, either. Maybe I'll give it a couple hours and then go plant onions and asparagus. I have to whittle the tomato list down a bit. Onions are in, but I'm waiting a couple days for the asparagus. Do you all add fertilizer when planting the asparagus crowns? What kind? I'll have to order some, I guess. I have high hopes for the onions this year! The grow cart is beginning to fill up. I have sweet potatoes in potting soil so can make my own slips. Far too many peppers, but there are so many interesting ones, I want to sample some. I am especially interested in tasting: Hungarian Paprika Spice; Hungarian Round Pimento; Jimmy Nardello's Italian Pepper; Thunder Mountain Longhorn, Ros de Mallorca, Sugar Rush Peach, and the ornamentals Count Dracula and 5-color Chinese. Then a few hot ones (Thai, and a couple REALLY hot ones.) Because I'll be planting so many peppers, I'm going to really cut back on the tomatoes. But this year, I'm finally organized enough that as soon as I plant a crop of anything, the seeds go into a plastic zip-lock and into the freezer so they can last a long time. . . that means a lot of unused tomato seeds go into the freezer. I finally have my rolled oats and honey, Melissa, so can get going on a big batch of granola. Haha, Danny. I've been working on this most of the day. I'm having a hard time staying on task--with ANYTHING today. Dinner's started--Cajun penne pasta with chicken. I love salads at restaurants. Not crazy about them at home. But I found these spectacular dressings, and now all of a sudden, I like tossed salads at home. That makes GDW happy, as he loves salad. These are so delicious, I'm going to share them with you all. I knew I had to try them when she said she really didn't like salads that much. I've tried the lemon one and now the blue cheese one. But fully intend to give them all a try. https://wholefully.com/healthy-salad-dressing-recipes/ Have a super good week, everyone. Hope you're okay, Amy. Thinking of you....See MoreApril 2021 Week 4
Comments (64)Hi Nancy, this is Renee (Mrs. Dollar). I am very impressed with your quilts. You are very talented!. I have been quilting since 2006 and the very first quilt I made was for my parents 50 wedding anniversary. I printed pictures of them and the family, incorporated them within quilt. I have a group of ladies that I quilt with at Lake Texoma twice a year. I have learned a lot from them and just bought a Brother Dream Machine 2 from one of the ladies. I am not part of any quilt guild, but just joined a FB group for my machine. I am quilting my lap and twin size quilts on my embroidery machine. It has been fun. I am currently working on a Hunter's Star king size quilt for our bed and am down to the borders. I have been working on it since June of last year. One of the ladies I quilt with has an AccuQuilt Go cutter and I used it to cut out all of my pieces. Man that was amazing how accurate and quick it was to cut out ALL those pieces. I will have Lynn send you a few pics of my work, but I warn you, they will not live up to your work. I especially like the last one. I think the pattern is called sail's trail? Not sure but I have eyed that one several times. Thank you for your interest and look forward to talking again....See MoreMay 2021, Week 4
Comments (42)Kim, I think I have an unhealthy thing about thinness and all . But only regarding myself. It's not an obsession any longer and I rarely notice other people's sizes. In fact, I couldn't begin to describe most of my friends' sizes--I just don't notice. (I'm only hard on myself.) But, for whatever reason Kelly stood out to me today. Maybe it was her cute jeans and top. I don't know. Yes! I love those black hollyhocks! For some reason I thought they didn't do well in my area. Maybe I should try them. Oh, and keep meaning to tell you that the little fig you brought to me is doing so well! I will be praying for you, Kim. I know how badly you want your own land. All of the SF plants are doing well except your milkweed, Jen. The mint is minty and growing. Do you remember the variety? The name is faded already. The only things I do not have in a pot or the ground yet is the soapwort, the feverfew and the cutleaf coneflower. Trying to determine the best places for those....See MoreAmyinOwasso/zone 6b
