Testing, hope this works

last month

I have been off line for a while. Longer than I realized I guess, and seems like a lot has happened. I hope my computer is repaired. Pretty old, I should probably replace it. I have missed you all and plan to be on more now. My phone still will not work with Houzz, but at least the computer seems to be going. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Just including one of my seedlings to show something daylily, LOL!

I've wondered more then once where you were Nancy. You and Brad are my Kentucky connection on daylilies. I understand about a non functioning computer. I'm glad you are back to join us. Your seedling is lovely..........Maryl

So good to ”see” you again Nancy!! I don’t know what we fussed about before computers!’ They will drive us nuts.

What a colorful seedling! Is this a new one?

I think it is a great orchid for a newbie. Seems very carefree and blooms for a long time.Nice light scent of honey. I've not had any pests problems so far. This orchid seems to really enjoy water, I soak mine every 2 days in just regular tap water. Give it decent lighting & some good air-movement. It's a wonderful orchid to grow - certainly in my top five orchids to grow. Tks ifraser -- certianly not as tricky as I thought. Regards G

Hi Lucille, It is still Winter here in Kansas. I do have some zinnias growing inside, but it will be April before I start my outside gardening. Like Ken, I would have "prepped" the ground some before sprinkling the seeds on. And then I might have raked them in some. Depending on how it comes down, the rain can help by "driving the seeds in" or harm by washing them away. You will probably get some of both. I can remember seeding a new lawn by raking the bare earth, scattering the grass seed with a rotary fertilizer spreader, and then raking the surface again to mix the seeds in. And then I made my own rain with a garden hose with a sprinkler head. Gardening continues to be a learning experience. Good luck with your zinnia sowing project. If you get zinnias, some pictures would be welcome. This is a picture of my indoor zinnias taken about a month ago.I have had some interesting blooms that I will cross with each other and save seeds from. This is a sample.Those white things in the background are electric cords to fluorescent shop-light fixtures. I will make some indoor crosses and plant their seeds outdoors (carefully in rows) in April and May and June. The cutoff date for my outdoor zinnia planting is mid July. That date determined by trial and error. One year I planted some zinnias in mid August and they bloomed nicely, but not in time to give a good yield of seeds before frost. Don't be discouraged -- gardening is an ever-learning process of trial and error. ZM

Okay, at least I can post a pic but can't write anything above in the description box. So far , Emily H can you fix this pls. It is only a word I can write but the ing after cant appears itself and can't do much. I can't write any sentences just a word. That is my Lady Megginch rose which I am trying to work on border and need to buy more borders. Let's see if I can post another pic of it The loading took forever also. So far so good. Wow, I cannot believe I can post finally but can't do much in description box after the title. Sigh!! Jin

Thanks! That was quick! This seedling is not new, was about its 4th year bloom. Nothing really unusual, but I can't get rid of it. Yes, computers will drive me crazy! I worked in an IT dept at university til I retired. You would think I would have a better idea of what goes on with them. I have always been surrounded by students eager to fix any problems I had though. Now I depend on my sons, but when they come home I often have a list of stuff for them to do and this has been at the end

So good to be back, Sherry! I don't have many seedlings that I can't let get, this is one of them. I have several plants that resemble it and all do good. I only have about 5 seedlings that I can't part with, although I have a couple that bloomed last year that looked really good to me. Hopefully, I will see them again this year and will share pictures.

Nice seedling, Nancy. Glad you are back. What kind of phone do you have? Pretty odd that houzz won't work with it.

If you do decide to replace your computer [or any electronics], go to the Back Market website. Reconditioned phones, computers, etc. and if you choose the top grade, you cannot tell that they are not new. Even the next step down are great. That is where I get my phones [I build my own computer]. They have a good warranty, and it will save you a bundle. I could even help you pick.

I'm glad to see you managed to get back on here. I guess whatever your son did to your computer worked!

I'm glad you're back. I love your seedling--the shape of the flower, the big eye, and the color on the sepals. Nice!

Brad, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy. I really like it, although I think it is more something with Houzz than with my phone. I had the problem last year some time, but cleared it up for a few months by logging out and back on Houzz, but that does not work this time. I will definitely check out Back Market, already bookmarked it for later. Thank you!

My son replaced a fan motor (I think, some kind of motor anyway) and updated some of the software on it. So much better now.

Thanks Nancy!
