Emne: I've figured it out.........

Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Emne: Re:I want the best tasting and the biggest.

Jim Dandy: I'm so glad he's not greedy!~

As much as I love potatoes, I should try growing some next year.

Emne: Re: Garden Update

Foxy Lady: LOL, I got one lone green pepper growing. All my cherry tomatoes disappeared. Guess the critters got them.

Emne: Roses help

ok, I think I remember reading about this a couple of years ago and I'm just too dang lazy to try and look back.

My roses have the leaves getting big black splotches and turning yellow and then all falling off. At one point, one bush has NO leaves left, although they do seem to be growing back.

Any easy solutions or home remedies for them?

Emne: Re: Spring

Foxy Lady: I planted 2 tomato plants this year. Hopefully, the weather wont be a bad here in Texas as last year.

LOL, it feels like summer hit North Texas!

My roses out back are on overload with blooming. I never got around to pruning them, and I guess they are rejoicing. lol

The FDA said late Friday that the outbreak had been linked to bagged spinach products distributed by Natural Selection Foods, based in San Juan Bautista, California. The company has agreed to recall its bagged spinach products and has stopped shipping them.

Emne: Re:

Foxy Lady: but think of all the fun you'll have! You can go on walkabouts, chase the kangeroos, and keep saying 'G'day!'

and there is no SNOW!

LOL!!!!

20. mars 2006, 23:11:46

I wouldn't mind some TULIPS. hehehe

20. mars 2006, 22:54:36

I thought about asking for seeds anyway, but thought it might be a joke instead. lol

20. mars 2006, 21:58:31

Emne: Re:Eriisa: are we talking about men??

nobleheart: ummmmm the image didnt come up for me of what you are planting.

17. mars 2006, 18:35:32

Emne: Re:

ScarletRose: LOL. men never droop around me!... but that's getting off topic.

I took a peek this morning, they are looking pretty nice. Maybe 1/2 inch tall..... lets see if I can remember... blue lake beans, collards, scallions, broccoli... oh and carrots!

Now my roses are leafing out very nicely. I still haven't added anything to their soil yet.

17. mars 2006, 04:44:32

oh they were sitting outside in a partly sunny area. They just kinda drooped a little. I forgot to check on them all today, so I'll look tomorrow and give a report.

15. mars 2006, 03:42:00

LOL

I had to laugh today at the seedlings. What I did is took egg cartons and put them in large ziploc bags to give the greehouse effect. I took the collard seedlings out of the bag today and let them sit out.

they did not appreciate my generosity at all.

14. mars 2006, 13:35:01

Emne: Re:seedlings

Foxy Lady: I expect pretty soon. Its just some veggie seeds that I tossed in egg cartons to start em. I was surprised that the germinated so fast, its only been 2 or 3 days.

14. mars 2006, 00:10:48

I got seedlings! I got seedlings! woo hoo!

11. mars 2006, 23:47:24

my oak trees went from bare limbs to buds everywhere in one week! I'm glad I trim my rose bushes last weekend, but I think they need it again already! I'm never tough enough and really cut back.

2. mars 2006, 19:38:28

They said that Texas will not have the wildflowers that we usually have because of the lack of rain and warm weather.

2. mars 2006, 02:18:49

ugh, its now 85 inside.

I am NOT turning on the a/c!!! <repeating over and over>

I'm in the mood. Its just getting the time!

1. mars 2006, 17:35:39

Its going to be in the 80's today. I got a couple of spikey rose bushes to trim!!!!

31. januar 2006, 14:27:33

Emne: ...speaking of coffee

I have so many plans for the yard now that I'm working at home.

I think I'm going out this weekend to cut back the roses etc etc. Do ya'll think I should do the coffee ground thing in Dallas (zone 8) or should the soil be ok? When I met Jim 2 years ago, they were blooming like crazy! But I didn't notice a lot last year.

I think I'm also going to take a small plot and plant some veggies. I'm just dying for some collard greens!

20. november 2005, 15:27:41

So then, cannot a front originate in the artic while INSIDE Canada???

20. november 2005, 02:30:56

Seriously, the weathermen in Texas call it an artic front from Canada. Now refresh my memory. Is not parts of Canada north of the ARTIC circle????

19. november 2005, 15:30:01

now, Any one wanna see a pic of my coleus? I can take one and post it somewhere. Its amazing how they survived a tree falling on them. Except for the fact that they were 2 feet tall and now are about 6 inches, you'd never know! lol

14. oktober 2005, 16:42:44

Thanks Foxy. I just didn't think it was my place, even tho I could have.

hugs all around!

12. oktober 2005, 02:13:31

We all have bad days. I think on the whole, everone gets along with each other in here. That's why I like reading in here.

Peace quiet and harmony.

Saps and all. (lol! sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!)

7. oktober 2005, 23:45:12

what??? Foxy, you expect me to work?????? lol

My guess is that someone posted and deleted their own post.

7. oktober 2005, 00:48:00

Emne: Re:

cariad: LOL! I would have put out a call if I wasn't out of the way!!!

I finally got everything cut up today and cleaned out. Tomorrow I'll get those poor broken stalks replanted well. Simply ran out of time.

1. oktober 2005, 01:51:35

Well, there went my newly planted coleuses... colei? lol

A thunderstorm came through and dropped a tree right on them. But I won't moan and complain, cause 6 inches more, and the tree would have been in the house!!!!
