hi nm
what is the yaking forum?

First thing I do in the spring, i will dig up the grimaldi and send it to
you. do you want the grootendorst also? they are both
disgustingly healthy and flower non stop. only in my most hated
colours. go figure. they are bad plants! Spiteful!! Bad!

I would very much have loved to see you beating your wisteria.Priceless.
Hmm. I think some root pruning might be in order here for your wisteria.
Not only do you need to spank it, but now you must chop off its feet.
Literally take your spade and drive it down, straight down and root prune
that puppy, I do that and leave a shovelspace inbetween every whack
of the sword. Works wonders. Tell the plant you will be doing this. These
Wisterias i have heard are "uppity" and you have to bring them down to
normal plant levels of behaviour. Its obedience training for them.

I cannot open any pictures here to make them big and viewable. I did
write to Terry, and he is working on something I dont know what, for me.
Does anyone have any ideas? i use ie and xp.

How many years have you been gardening your house? looks like 10 years
or so .
The weather here is really harsh. Either too much water or not enough.
I spend all my time shlepping hoses around. Oh, to be rich and have
watering systems. What a dream. I did order some more water pipe
to be laid by the plumbers in the spring time, for the new barn and also
for the vegetable gardens. we will have electricity put in also at that
time. You need electricity to shock the cauliflowers into that terrified
white blanched condition you see in the supermarkets. I find that 220 volts
works the best. Have you shocked celery to maintain that light green color?
