STORIES OF BASIL,LAMBIC AND CORN

ok I got some more plants potted up but I learned my lesson about letting someone else go get thepotting soil!!!!

Potting soil is a very personal thing...grin

Why, what type of potting soil do both of you use?

this something she picked up cheap...says Hyponex potting soil...its nothing but mud with bits of what looks like styofoam in it...very hard to pot a delicate plant with!

usually for houseplants I use miracle grow with moisture control..or one called gardner's choice

That's the kind that you get from Walgreens' for 99 cents a bag.

the hyponex? yeah and it sucks!!!! even has moss growing in the bags!

Is the miracle grow with moisture control for house plants and does it already have the fertilizer in it?

yes and yes....works great for me....but I repot every 6 months just about or sooner if the plant outgrows its container!

Since I don't have plants in the house, I make my own soil mix for outside containers. I use a basic HD/Lowe's (inexpensive) potting soil and add equal parts of compost, peat moss and fine ground pine bark with a basic 6-6-6 fertilizer added in.

I wish moon! No place to put compost here that the dog wont destroy! Gotta deal with store bought until the roperty in Misourri is done and then NO PETS...I'm tired of being the one left to take care of all of them...and when I'm having a bad day medically I just can't do it

Trina, when we lived in an apartment. I used an inexpensive trash can as a compost bin. just plunked it next to the other trash cans, poked a few holes in the bottom and Voila' compost. If you get one with the locking handles the lid stays on tight.

Trina, sorry to hear you have medical prolems. How long does it keep you from doing things?

I'll have to remember that moon..with 5 kids there is alot I could compost....well here's one I just planted up...it will work until spring when I can seperate them

like I have to explain this to you but I feel smart right now so here goes

the tall one is Dracaena Spike
the red one Iresine Purple lady
and the greyish looking one is Dichondra Silver falls

Nothing like a little color to cheer up a house

Venice sometimes I'm out for a week but then again sometimes I can go months with nothing and then slam its done

Good morning all! Aloha kakahiaka!

Jjs can you show the weed when the flowers open?

I think the Peace Lily might be Spathipyllum wallisii.

Thanks Dave...I don't think it likes me though

Okay kiddies, done all I can inside and in the greenhouse, so gonna park the laptop and go get really dirty for a while. catch you all next break.....later.

ok moon, have fun!

Dirt can be fun!

Talking about dirt. I don't wear gloves when I garden. After I pick all of the moss rose seeds, I just know I have some growing under my nails with all the dirt!

LOL venice me too! I almost wish I hadn't planted that stuff! it tried to kill out my miniature roses

Someone gave me just a little that I planted which is not very hardy unlike what I got earlier that I have in a pot.

its almost a nuisance plant here!

The buff ball fry
Picked that big mushroom ^_^

Got it all ready to cut up

Started cutting it into slices

All cut up and ready to fry.

Getting the frying pan ready.

Here we go!

Looking good.

Boy, I need someone to eat these with me.............this is only have half of the one I cut up!

HAH! Fooled ya...I'm eating spaghetti with Pesto sauce, garlic bread and sauteed mushrooms

oh and doing a happy Dance cuz I got rid of 2 more flats of plants! Conned the boys cross-country coach into taking some!!!

Trina, good job!

We are waiting to hear how the puffball tasted!!!

Goodness Kassy that looks good.

The columbine I have are a pink Barlow and then I have a white one, a red one and a purple one that I think are McKanas Giant( they are the bell looking type). I was out pulling weeds and noticed a bunch more of them coming up. Problem is they have mutiplied so much they are all mixed up.

Dave I will let the weed bloom and take a pic when it does.

Lynnie we are gonna need a few extra reps this month.
Back from the grocery store with 4 bags of milky ways, 4 bags of 3 musketeers, dzn glazed donuts, dzn creme horns, half gallon each of banana split ,peanut butter panic, homemade vanilla and double strawberry ice cream . Oh and a head of lettuce and bag of carrots

They were good, well the half of the one that I managed to eat was good..........Dave suggested them in a stirfry, but my BF doesn't like mushrooms :(
Well at least his land grows them for me ^_^
