I guess you always wonder what your call in life is and decided I am a Jack of all trades but a master of none. Bet you could swing a machette with the best of em.
Simple composting question!
Trina, until I found DG I really didn't give a lot of thought as to what goes where. When you transplant enough you wise up for sure.
Only if someone threatened my kids or promised me cookies....grin
you got that one right!!! I think then I could even twirl a pistol and shoot the eye off a knat. lol
gonna try my hand at knitting in a mo. or so. Always wanted to learn.
My grandma started teaching me when I was a kid....I could knit one and purl two, but when I got to the end of the needle I was lost....she told me to stay in school and study hard so I could afford to buy sweaters....LOL
Thats funny, about as far as I get too. Signed up at our community college, so will let ya know if its a piece of cake.
I make my own curtains but is about the extent of my sewing skills, just measure cut and sew. Don't ask me to read a pattern they look greek to me
Oh no I'm turning into my grandma!!
Flowers, if it's a piece of cake I am all over it....grin.
I am dyslexic, Flowers, and have attention deficit disorder....and limited left/right parity....all that just means my right hand has no idea what my left hand is doing and I can't pay attention long enough to care....GRIN
Worse folk you could pattern after for sure...grin
well at least your left and right side brain is in sinc lol Grandmother on mothers side died when I was 5 but still remember the flower garden she had and the blue ribbons she won. Boy glad she can't see mine lol
gone to watch mash, gotta see what hot lips and frank are up to today. catch ya later if your on. Bye Trina, Bye Linnie Cya Jim. John boy has left the building
Have a sweet evening Flowers...catch ya later
sorry I left abruptly...had to deal with teenager issues....as for sewing I acn sew just about anything with or without a pattern I also do counted cross-stitch, and embroidery...learning to crochet now
Wow! You certainly are very clever!
Moon, they need your expetise on the Landscaping Forem
Its called boredom! I have nothing else to do all day...with all the restrictions from the doctor and the meds not much else I can do...Hyper by nature and going stir crazy
What is going on over there, Flowers?
a couple of posts are not getting any kind of productive answers I quess you could say, can feel the frustration lol
We had a hydrania in front of the house. "I am tired of that thing taking up the whole side of the house. Dig it up," said she. Shovel in hand, I proceeded. After about an hour, I finally gave up. Got my lariates out from my cowboy days and put a loop around the roots. Tied it to my other rope and tied that one to the back of my truck. When that joker came loose it was like a cork popping out of a bottle. Landed about 30 feet away right in the middle of the day lily bed. "I guess I'll pull it around to the back and set fire to it," says I. "Oh no, cut it in half and replant it," says she. Out comes the ax. Chop, chop chop. Dig, dig, dig. Two hours later back in the ground.
You are to modest Moon. Very talented lady. Much to smart to be a Red-Neck.
Dig a hole and stick something in it, is the way I do landscaping. If it grows there it goes there. Didn't know azaleas needed partial shade. Planted my first ones next to a ditch I was tired of mowing. Thanfully no one told the azaleas they weren't supposed to grow there. Been doing good for about 30 years. Know better now but planted one in the sun anyway. Died over night. Ignorance is bliss.
Picture of a hydrania that the lady hasn't decided to move, yet.
What names, and I will peek in....don't know if I will butt in, but will look. grin
I like Hydrengia's they just don't like me
don't know I forgot and having trouble getting back lol going to find it and will be back to let ya know. Hey Jim nice hydrangea
Easiest plant in the world to grow. There name means "water pot." Keep it wet and it will grow.
Beautiful plants Jim. I love the blue ones. Thanks for the kind words, grin. My mama used to say be careful about blowing your own horn, you might miss an important whisper.....I try to listen for the whispers.
My Dad used to say, "He who toots not his own horn, gets it not tooted." Mom would reply, "He who tooteth his horn to much soon runneth battery down."
the problem is no matter what color I buy they all turn white the next year
LOL jim that's a good one
I have never seen a hydrangia so blue! Beautiful!
Moon, its beg.landscaping # 1 Desp for advice by buzbug, #2 pruning Jap. Maple by mbfirey and #3 fence cleaning by tikijenn has no responses thought you might get the advice rolling.
Acid soil makes them Blue, Alkaline soil makes them pink....perfectly neutral soil must bore the color out of them....grin
Jim, you know this is hurricane central....can't afford to run down a battery....grin
either that or they don't like the roses! Darn snobs anyway. who needs em...lol
