My son picked a Beatles track to walk down the aisle to. Before the wedding he played it to us and asked "do you know this?" 😂

Wildchild, this did make me laugh!

Last night I watched a documentary called Born To Be Wild:Steppenwolf. (Your online name always makes me think of them. 🤠)

Anyhow, basically it follows the life of John Kay, his life in East Prussia, and his eventual life in North America and the formation of the band Steppenwolf.

Long story short……gosh that was a long time ago. My older sister loved them.

The documentary is worth watching.

I think I planted too many cucumber plants in a container

Andie: Not sure where you are in SoCal, but I'm in San Diego. So, my few years gardening experience might help. And Yes --gardening is addictive. Yo be honest with you, if your area gets below freezing(AT ALL), the peppers, tomatoes and cukes just aren't going to survive. Even if they do, they won't THRIVE. Those are WARM weather crops. And they need lots of sun -- something that even the mild winters here just can't supply. Don't get me wrong. If you start those veggies between March and June, you can get nice harvest all the way up until November and December. But STARTING them this late won't yield much of anything. I like to start my peppers and tomatoes in January indoors, under a shoplight with "daylight" flourescent bulbs. Cukes can be started in Feb. or March. Or I just wait until the nurseries bring in transplants around late March. There's actually more veggies that you can grow here in the fall and winter here - lettuces, spinach, root veggies, anything in the brassica family(broccoli,cauliflower,Kale,cabbage, etc.),snow peas, etc. Do a search in google for: vegetable planting guide along with the name of your county. You'll get a general idea on WHAT to grow and WHEN to grow them. You can still get some COOL weather crops in the ground, but you're probably best off finding transplants at Home Depot or (even better) your local nursery. All I saw at MY Home Depot was lettuce. I DID find some broccoli and cauliflower at my Walmart though. Good Luck. Kevin

I think I have too many leaves.
Q
Comments (5)
That is a lot of leaves. But, to look at it another way: where did the leaves come from? did they all come off the trees in the woodland you just transferred the leaves to? If so then it's not too many leaves, it's how much leaf material the woodland produces and you can expect it to process them all itself. But if on the other hand the leaves came from trees not growing in the woodland, and the woodland is already producing as many leaves as it can process, then piling on way more leaves is going to depress the herbaceous understory. If they were soft leaves I'd be inclined to not worry about it, but oak leaves do take a bit longer to decompose than average. So they're still going to be around in spring when things are trying to come up.

Where can I buy Hellebores old enough they bloom on 1st year?
Q
Comments (10)
Why do growers stress shade for hellebores? Because they are less familiar with the natural growing conditions of hellebores than they'd like to think? Or that hellebores are shade lovers is a myth that is just very difficult to move away from :-) This is a topic that has irked me for ages. Nearly every site you encounter - with the noted exception of our own Joseph Woodard's excellent hellebores.org - will stress the need for siting hellebores in shade, why I am not entirely sure. Hellebores in their natural setting are not focused on shade - most can be found in very open settings along forest verges or in rocky meadows. At most they may receive only a small bit of shade -- in their natural setting, Corsican hellebore (Helleborus argutifolius) grow in full sun in rocky crags and hillsides in Sardinia and Corsica! In most parts of this country, hellebores can grow and perform beautifully in more sun than shade. I'd limit shade placement to those areas that experience hot summers and even then provide as much early day sun as possible. It's been my experience that hellbores thrive in sun with only modest shelter from the hottest part of the day or form the most intense sun. They produce erect, upright plants with a profusion of flowers in these locations. As to locating plants of size to bloom, most garden centers will carry sufficiently large plants that will bloom the first year - they are frequently sold in bloom at these outlets so that the consumer can confirm flower color. If ordering by mail, look for vendors that provide plants larger than 4" sizes. Most of the larger hellebore speciality nurseries - Heronswood, PDN, Pine Knot, Sunshine Farms, etc. - do so. Here is a link that might be useful: link to online vendors

Hey Lou, I haven't been on here in a while and look what I almost missed. Beautiful girls Lou. Congrats to your great granddaughter! The picture of you and your wife is wonderful. I know you miss her! When you have a minute send me an email and catch up. I'm wondering about your physical injury? Karen

Good one! Made me laugh! But what’s really funny is that so many young people have embraced these old rock bands and their songs as their own.

I watched an episode of "101 Ways to Leave a Game Show" (made in UK), and one of the tie breaker questions was "Who is the lead singer for the Rolling Stones?" and neither of the two young women could answer it.

Some 45 years ago, my then 5 year old son called out to me, "Mom, did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?"

Yes, my boy, I did know that.

There was a newspaper columnist decades ago who commented one day that he suddenly felt old when one of the two young things in front of him walking down the street said to her friend, "Did you know Paul McCartney was in another band before he was in Wings?

I had a young relative choose "Only You" as a first dance wedding song. The Ringo Starr version. I felt sorry for The Platters.

On Directv we listen to Music Choice. DH likes Light Classical (Mozart, Bach, etc) and I switch it to Classical Rock when he is running erands or working outside. He never listened to Rock & Roll growing up and barely tolerates it now. We do ask, who is that person or group when they advertise the popular one now. I have heard of Taylor Swift and that's it.

I can relate to all of that!! My husband is a musician and sound man for local bands. There has never been a generation music gap in our family. Our daughter (mid forties) was in an accident and broke some bones. She asked to borrow a Huey Lewis and the News concert CD while she recovered!!

The 20th Century saw a lot of changes in the quality of recorded music, with 33 rpm vinyl records being produced by 1931. Anything before that has relatively poor sound quality, but vinyl records are excellent media for archival purposes.

For this reason, we can only go back to the 1930s to hear music as it was intended, but vinyl records became even more popular in the 1940s, and so a lot of the Big Band era music can be listened today with fairly good fidelity.

By 1951, records got even better, and so the 1950s is possibly the first decade with excellent fidelity, and records from this period can still be listened to today with great sound, but people in the 1950s could still listen to Big Band music, and possibly some jazz from the 1930s.

Ever since the 1950s, people have been able to listen to "oldies" and recognize the era that they were from, and subsequent decades of population have been able to choose from an increasing variety of old music that was not available before the 1950s.

My music collection contains very little music made prior to 1990, but there have been a few exceptional artists/bands in modern times that I have liked and bought - but not nearly the number that I used to buy and enjoy. I have only a tiny collection of hip-hop music that I listen to and pretty much no rap music, as I find it tedious and generally uninteresting. Most 21st century music does not capture my attention, but there are a few rare exceptions. I did not buy much music in the mid 1970s either, but I did buy a lot in the late 1970s and early 80s, and I went to a lot of concerts in the 80s.
