Comments (14)I'm here!! Have missed all of you!!! Have had computer problems along with several other small crisises! Been trying to read and catch up. I have lost nearly all of my brugs that I dug up and put in pots when I moved. With no GH this year as I have had in past years, I covered everthing with frost cloths, but it did not protect them. Most are dead down to and including the roots. Some may come back but I lost most of my doubles and my really nice singles. I have got all my new beds dug and ready for planting but have to see what survives then will start planting. Karyn--glad you will be able to come to FL again. At least it is warmer down there than up here in Jax!! I may have to consider moving south! Will have to make a GH this summer and be better prepared!! I am ready for SPRING!!!!!

Comments (26)Hey Everyone! Wow, I haven't been here in a couple years!! Lots of new names, and some familiar ones too. Tami gave me a heads up to come check in so here i am! I hope everyone is dong well. Lets see, what's new with us? Grant will be 8 next month (July 19) and is going into 3rd grade. He's growing like a weed, has his dads mechanically inclined mind and loves tools and machinery. He's very smart and is a hard worker!! He's independent and sweet!! Camryn was 5 in January and is a spitfire! She's funny and outgoing but she's got a devilish streak in her for sure. She's stubborn and wants nobody to be the boss of her, so she says. She's starting Kindergarten in August and is super excited. She's not a girly girl AT ALL!!! Our dog, Harlow, is 2.5 and is, I swear, Dakota's twin. They act almost identical in every way. It's almost scary because sometimes I feel like they're the same dog. She's super curious and playful, and adorable. As for me, I'm just staying busy with the kids. We just moved out of our house 2 weeks ago into an apartment temporarily while our home undergoes a massive remodel/addition. Well, it's more of a slight rebuild. We are adding on almost 1500 square feet (building a 2nd level) so we are living in an apartment for 6 months. It's interesting but so far so good!! Hope everyone else is doing great!!! I'll try to check back more often!! :-) I'm on Facebook if anyone wants to find me there. Lots of kid pictures. Just give me your KT name or I probably wont know who you are! :-)...See MoreAdmins: Is it possible to close old threads for comments?
Comments (30)Q. Why I revive old threads? A. No other way to contact the original poster. The truth is Houzz really isn't a forum. It doesn't look like, it act like it, and I'm pretty sure that it is designed differently. The search functions are different. The way 260 comments show up on one page is different. To be honest I didn't even know there were admins until I read this. There are no stickys. Random rules that yo aren't aware of until you read a comment 30 threads in 4 comments down. I had found a couple of answers to my questions but the thread was too old and initially I didn't want to revive it. One of them the user is still currently active but I don't want to derail a thread by asking something unrelated to the subject. I tried clicking on their page but there is no way to PM so I just ended up following them. Then I found another thread and said WTH and decided to ask because their answer is a little more relevant than the ones I asked for. Other than reviving an old thread to get an answer what would be the best way to get a response from the original poster?...See MoreSpeaking of missing members.....
Comments (33)I am here! I pop in from time to time. I'm involved in some other things that take my time. We are doing well, staying home a lot. Mia has had a few bad health scares but she is doing well and she has a wonderful vet team taking care of her. Hubby's son had covid which caused him to have a stroke. He is dealing with some serious problems from it. Having heart surgery in January. We are praying all goes well and the problems are resolved. Thanks for thinking of me! Happy New year! 🎊🎉⚜️...See More

2 years agoI have moved all the plants inside now. It is starting to be cold overnight, and is raining a lot. Wet & cold isn't too good for succulents as I always suggested, lol. I need to organize mst of it yet, & may need more lights...Kevin, I don't remember the sedum, it was likely something common. I got few nice plants from you like this gasteria - it was just a single plant then. This has been already divided, I should do it again or repot. It is in a 4" pot now.
And, of course, I still have too many jades!!! I did get rid of number of them, but still have too many. Hope to have some blooming this year.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoGlad to see you’re ok Rina. I have been thinking about you and wondering where you’ve been also also, but clearly none of my business. Just hoping everything was ok🙂.
Here’s a pretty pic I took today of a Trichocereus that has not received the message it’s time to sleep😴🌵.
Tonight I started moving plants into the garage. That’s the plan for tomorrow too🙁. We are suppose to get some rain tomorrow night around 6pm and Monday night may get as low as 43F. Like you’ve said cold and wet is no good for our beloved plants.socks thanked Kara 9b SF Bay Area CAewwmayo
