The gift you didn't know you needed ..

I was going to make a joke about an OTT gift .. but the truth is, I really kind of like it! I won't pay $300+ for it ... but for a third the price, I'd totally rock it (and suffer hat hair)!!

Comments (5)Very sweet and so nice to hear. Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag, Jean, and I hope you continue to do well, too....See MoreBet you didn't know. I didn't
Comments (6)Thanks for sharing that Ron. I did not know any of those stories. They all touched me, and they made me think of many other stories there are out there. I travel a lot on my job and in pursuit of my other passion in life; trout fishing. I see men and women in uniform in almost every airport I travel to, but I particularly see many on my trips to Charlotte. Some of these folks are going "over there" (or getting ready to) and a few of them I've met were coming home. I never go by without letting these people know that many people here at home, whom they have never met, care deeply about them, worry for them, wish them a swift and safe return, and thank them for their service. I hope these people never ever want for their fellow Americans respect and concern. And I hope that if you are reading this that you will reach out to these people when you see them in your own life, shake their hand, thank them for the job they do, and let them know in some small but sincere way that you care. You'll be doing that person and yourself a great deal of good in the process....See MoreNewbies... Just in case you didn't know...
Comments (4)Hi Carrie, Thanks for the info. I was thinking that perhaps you had so many blooms because you are in a warmer zone than me. This is my 2nd year WS, I decided to try more annuals. So far everything is still on the small side. Trying to be patient, tempted to buy a few annuals from the garden center just so I can have some color before July. Though all in all I really do enjoy growing my own from seed. -StlGirl...See MoreThings you did when you didn't know any better
Comments (32)bobbi socal: way to GO! The gardeners who have helped me the most (in real life, as I'm a newcomer here) are those who have the humility that comes with learning from 'mistakes' - and admitting that gardening is a work in progress with the greatest lessons learned when we get it wrong to learn why & then how to get it right. Some stories are hilarious when you look back on them (I planted a camellia bush with growth potential of 14' x 14' in a narrow border; it did grace me with surviving its inevitable transplant. What was I thinking!). It's the sharing of successess and 'mistakes' that helps everyone who comes here. Now here's a question for you: what's YOUR biggest mistake (and talk about your greatest victory, too!) Hi dryad! Soil is everything. Talking dirt takes on a whole new meaning! I'm so lucky where I live that seaweed (the almost perfect plant food which we mix into our very sandy soil (that's when it isn't rock) ) is free for the taking. After one of our many windstorms here there are many of us gardening fanatics loading up on the beaches at low tide. Sue...See MoreFunkyart
