They get fluids from berries and etc........I also see them pecking at snow....... 29. January 2005, 20:32:13 Subject: Re: Birds bwildman:
For sure huh  29. January 2005, 20:16:09 Subject: Re: Birds  Foxy Lady: Don't forget they also need water. Especially if it's freezing out. I have a big plactic pot bottom that is pretty easy to unmold the giant ice cube and replace with fresh water. I'de love a birdbath heater but don't have. 29. January 2005, 15:05:48 Subject: Re: Birds Foxy Lady: Your right Foxy. SO many people think its cute to feed the birds in spring to watch them chirp by the windows but RIGHT now they need food. I feed the many, many diff types of birds in my neighbourhood. Peanuts for the jay and even squirrels. Seeds for the little ones. Even meat and eggs for the crows and seagulls. All birds are equal in my books. 29. January 2005, 13:22:19 Subject: Re: Birds Foxy Lady: Hint from bwildman: dont place your birdfeeders near your vehicles or patio furniture  29. January 2005, 11:20:23 Subject: Birds Don't forget to feed our feather freinds. 16. January 2005, 12:31:43 Subject: Re: snow peas Modified by Foxy Lady (16. January 2005, 12:34:02) CW57:
Can't plant nothing here until the end of May.I'm in Central NY and it's been crazy weather this year. 16. January 2005, 04:05:02 Subject: Re: snow peas  CW57:Good ole east Texas..greatest place in the world!! 15. January 2005, 20:15:57 Subject: Re: snow peas Foxy Lady: i live in eastern texas. it's about 50 today and we've only had a few nights under freezing this winter. 15. January 2005, 11:44:26 Subject: Re: snow peas CW57:
Where abouts do you live? Our ground is froze here even with the few days of warm weather. 14. January 2005, 21:31:14 Subject: snow peas i started planting snow peas today. they're picked before they mature and eaten whole, usually in stir-fry, very tasty. i like them in a salad uncooked. good gardening to all. 14. January 2005, 21:19:55 Subject: Re: Re: Foxy Lady: 1st time II heard it...I thought"no way"
the soil here in the Ozarks consists mostly of rock and red clay,and b planting grass in this fashion,allows the seed plenty of time to germinate. 14. January 2005, 21:15:59 Subject: Re: bwildman:
Yes we've done that it also keeps the birds from eating the seed.......Yuk i don't like peas. 14. January 2005, 20:59:05 just before a snow is the best time to plant grass seed.
As the snow melts,it loosens the ground and somewhat buries the seed. 14. January 2005, 20:52:43 Some of my bulbs have sent up their leaves.  14. January 2005, 20:48:02 Subject: Re: Weather Foxy Lady: time to plant your snow peas!! 14. January 2005, 11:42:35 Subject: Weather Wow our weather is crazy it was like SPRING YESTERDAY high 53.Today it's cold and SNOW on the way. 28. December 2004, 11:44:26 Subject: SR try this site 13. December 2004, 23:49:21 Subject: Re: Oh kewl.. I can use the help since i'm busy with the girls. 13. December 2004, 22:13:42 Subject: Pointsetta's  anyone who can offer tips? 13. December 2004, 22:12:42 Subject: Oh kewl.. Thanks Foxy.. :) 21. November 2004, 10:32:54 Subject: Happy Thanksgiving Hope you all have a blessed day. 10. November 2004, 08:20:43  i await you invite :)

November 2004, 08:10:56 ummmmm....mumumum cant play keryo pente..or whatever....would you like to play Backgammon.....cant play that either but at least i know how it goes LOLOL 10. November 2004, 08:08:39 Subject: Re: Bernice C Glad to see ya 10. November 2004, 08:06:34 Hello Foxy Lady....i love to garden L:OLOL 10. November 2004, 07:54:03 Subject: Snow We got some snow so the gardens are to bed here in NY. 6. November 2004, 06:03:05 I agree with Bwildman...whole carcasses under the palms in my garden absolutely worked wonders :) 6. November 2004, 04:43:54 Subject: Re: Roses Roses love potassium also,i throw a banana peel in the hole than plant the bush. 6. November 2004, 03:59:14 when planting roses(and it helps to fish quite often) I literally plant the fish carcasses 1st,covering with 3 to 4 inches of soil,then planting the bush.This allows the oplant to "grow into" the fertilizer,after planting shock. 6. November 2004, 00:52:51 Subject: Re:Fishbones I trust miracle_gro,don't have to worry about any cats digging up the bones. 5. November 2004, 22:35:26 Subject: skipinnz Modified by danoschek (5. November 2004, 22:38:54) here the main provider is 'Neudorff' - could be available internationally.
btw the fishy stuff is practicable indeed. 'pre-rotten' in the garden even entirely un-smelly - and fishbones grated are not notorious either ... :D ~*~ 5. November 2004, 09:12:49 Subject: Re: Thanks Nev Nake & Bwildman, but I don't think it's practical to put fish bones, heads etc into pots. I'm actually trying to get cuttings going in pots to transport to another property 5. November 2004, 08:03:59 absolutly!! and the more oily the fish the better!
early Americans were taught to plant corn by the Indians that way. 5. November 2004, 07:59:42 fish emmulsifier....or just put old (fresh) not cooked fish bones and meat under the cuttings.....works wonders.
it is used in the tropics of australia every day....you catch a fish, eat the flesh, and bury the remains under a plant...good gear LOLOL 5. November 2004, 05:41:06 Subject: Re: we use seaweed extract thanks Dano I'll have a look and see if I can purchase some over here. 5. November 2004, 02:32:07 Subject: we use seaweed extract Modified by danoschek (5. November 2004, 02:36:51) as rooting hormone - it works amazingly well ...
one ounce is about 5 euros here - equals $6.50 ... it works even in very low doses - truely productive ... ~*~ 2. November 2004, 11:43:16 Subject: Re: cuttings Thats one i never heard of but i'd try it to see if it works. 2. November 2004, 10:25:04 Subject: cuttings I've been told that honey applied to cuttings acts as a rooting horemone. My question is has anybody ever tried this, and if so how successful was it? 2. November 2004, 11:40:14 Subject: Re: Garlic Hi BW just the regular small cloves,but you gave me an idea.:) 1. November 2004, 14:35:25 Subject: Re: Garlic what kind did you plant,Foxy?
I used to have a great patch of "elephant"garlic myself.Grows quick,hardy....and keeping 3 back,gives you the next years crop:) 1. November 2004, 08:27:42 Subject: Garlic Depending on where you live its garlic time........I planted 12 cloves and hoping i get some good sized bulbs.Garlic comes up in the Spring but not ready till late August early September. 18. October 2004, 07:10:39 Subject: Foxy Lady Thanks for that :) appreciated :) 18. October 2004, 02:57:32 Subject: Re: Peony Bushes Thanks guys i guess i'll have to get hunny to start cutting 15. October 2004, 06:59:54 Subject: Re: Peony Bushes same here,volant. 15. October 2004, 05:32:48 Subject: Re: Peony Bushes I cut mine down to the ground after the frost kills the tops. Have done this for years but no idea what the experts recommend. 15. October 2004, 05:30:03 Subject: Peony Bushes Does anyone know if you have to cut them in the fall? << < 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 > >> |
