Doctor set me free today!
4 years ago
Looking forward to being myself again, walking on my own, but with rollater for a while longer. (after regaining strength, of course) and eventually driving again, and exercise. NO BAth yet, except sponge bathes. Care givers will come until end of month and I'll be on my own. Bee having weekends to myself, so I'm getting adjusted to doing things.

Compost pile set today.....Hoping for some feedback
Comments (15)This is a re-print from another post - "3.14 times the width of the ring will tell you how much fence you need. So 3.14 x 3ft=9.42ft of fence to make a ring 3ft wide. Or 3.14 x 4ft = 12.59ft I would not go any higher than 3ft. You will be surprised just how much you can fit into a 3x3ft bin. Or just make a pile on the ground." You simply place the wire rings on the ground. No posts are required. So you will have a round ring of wire fence with no corners to trap compost material. Wire fence is open so air flows freely. Basically, it just keeps the leaves from blowing around. Plus if you have just piled on the ground, you know the top is tapered, like a pyramid, holding less material. This fills that void. Make as many as you like or when full open up to move and build another pile. The 1st pile will be free standing. If you made tabs to hold wire fence together this is real easy. Not real pretty but not ugly either. If you are worried about pretty make it like Rutger did above. HTH, Gumby_CT...See MoreSomeone get me a doctor!
Comments (25)Ken, my GGs were planted in two installments: First, three rather nice, larger specimens from Botany Shop went in up in the well-drained field soil where my primary tree seedling planting is going on. That would have been maybe four years ago. To tell the truth, I did not see these three on my visit, as they are in amongst lots of other rapidly growing pine, spruce and larch. Then two years ago, I put in three more but this time, downhill in a decidedly wet area, right adjacent to native Thuja o's. Those are the ones within which you can see such a huge difference. Who knows, maybe these are less well adapted somehow on account of being down in the swamp. I can't see why that would be so, but just thought I'd throw that in. I also have mentioned Chamaecyparis lawsoniana "Oregon Blue", of which three little guys were planted last spring. We also planted one of these at my son's house in Cedarburg, a town not far from whaas and TJ's area. All of these look toasted-a not-too-surprising outcome. Mine up north were snow-covered all winter until just recently, where the tips became exposed. If those tips indicate anything, these are in trouble. Son's looks probably dead. Of course, all are being left in place for now. I never had real high hopes for that particular experiment. I'd bet yours will go on as if nothing happened. This winter may have helped us mark a line on the map for that plant's suitability. For my part, I'm more happy than anything....to see the utter ease with which most of my stuff has made it through-Norway spruce, red pine, white pine, hybrid larch (I think!), uh what am I forgetting? Oh yeah, the Thuja o's! We're going to dig some more little ones if it ever warms up a bit and drys out, to be moved up into groupings in the main field planting area. All of those we've done previously have survived and thrived. Plus, most mysteriously, deer leave them be, completely. That's odd, but I'm glad of it, of course. Good luck whaas. +oM...See MoreSet Out Today:
Comments (8)Jay, things not yet set out are hardened off, well and good. The cucurbits have mostly been exposed to cold and not sun so I may burn them. Zinnias and sunflowers are desperate to move out of their containers and I'm not about to move them to something larger - it is now or never. The peppers, especially, have been out again and again during the last 3 weeks. Tomatoes had a tough go of it because I started most of them too early and tried to slow them down with cool temperatures, too fast. The abused ones are coming back fine, however. The unabused are healthy but will need to be planted with a posthole digger because they've stretched so much. That's okay. Ten days of waiting will be hard on them but there's enuf in reserve to replace all that went out today and are likely to go out Monday. Neighbors always seem to be happy with the reserves and make good use of them. I just started things a little too early and didn't have supplemental light when the weather turned cloudy. It really turned out to be a somewhat normal spring but the warm January and February up here fooled me into believing we were headed towards something different. And, I'm going to have to deal with too little light in some fashion, some day. Steve...See Moreallergies, sinuses, doctors
Comments (40)For sinus sufferers, there was a bit on NPR about lactobacillus sakei and sinus infections...seems to be a strong connection to the good bacteria fighting off the sinus infections. Only thing is, it hasn't been studied yet in humans, but thought I'd mention that there has been some early signs of success with it. Also GF suffers with allergies and she has found that taking OTC antihistamine before or as her allergies begin really helps to control the situation as it keeps it from getting worse and setting up vicious cycles of misery. Though I have no first hand experience, I hope this helps.... what causes sinus infections Acutally this whole human biome business is just beginning to get hot and scientists are just beginning to understand that we shouldn't think of the body as a pristene place with viral and bacterial invaders that need to be wiped out....rather we need to think of the body as a garden where we want to grow the good bacteria so it can keep the bad stuff in check....fascinating stuff.
