a hello thread

Smileymom,
jackamanni clematis is gorgeous!
Don't you love the color a deep purple.
I have had mine for 5 yrs.now and enjoy! the blooms.

Hi Jim. Missed talking to you too. All ok in your world?

PJ, I hate to be the one to tell you, even with 2 of you, you would both have a full time job trying to keep us girls in line!
:-)

Pajonica -I am also a morning glory fan
I grew this mornin glory a few years back
Fuji wistera-Correct me if I am wrong.I can't rememberthe name of it on top of my head.LOL
I couldn't collect seeds in time since the cool fall weather set in.
Jim41: You like peanut butter also.
I have a good and simple recipe for non baked peanut butter cheese cake
Only takes 5 minutes to whip up and chill.

Hi Pajonica, haven't talked to you in a while. Not since the lady was telling us that we didn't know what we were talking about on the trumpet vine thread. Told us they weren't invasive. Can't show a pictures of the legs. Only have two extra bed rooms and would be over flooded with visitors. Probably kick us all off of Dave's, been trying that with some of us any way. Want to send us to the back porch or something. Glad you and yours are ok after the typhoon.

Good to meet you Imzadi, Cat, everyone!

Yesterday was a great day in the park. Got many photos!

Here are grandparent Koa Trees, Acacia koa. One of the main canopy trees that compose Hawaiian rainforests.

lol they have Dave, but I think it takes a lot to rile him.

nice, I love the gnarled branches

My gift of a thousand plants Dave...that's what I've been fighting!

almost done...the rest are going to JJ's house!

Hello Cat nice to meet you

as for moving it out of the sun...who wants to come help me move it? Darn thing weighs more than I do!!!!

my house is puking plants right now...hubby better finish greenhouse soon...but I have a nasty feeling he won't get it done until spring

Pojonica,
Forgot to include the photo.LOL!

Hi cat, all is well with me, just agravated. Been a glorious week for La. Sunny, low humidity, a.m. temps in the 50's and p.m.'s in the 80's. Don't you know I have had to go somewhere every day this week and couldn't get in the yard. And by the way, Pan and I like a challenge. It would be fun to try to keep you girls under control whether we were succussful or not.

The recipe sounds great but unfortunately I am diabetic so ............

I get to beat the first person who tries to control me with my broom!

Cool flower Skimper!

wow, this thread exploded! I couldn't get another browser to open, ny DH has 3 different music sites open. wouldn't want to close one on him..

I'm going to forget what I wanted to reply to. Yep, I did. I think:

Venice, there's a Miss Bateman clem in between 2 jackmanii, and some pinks (my favorite) and some different lilies. I have some huge seed pods from a regale lily if anyone wants them.

JJs - I don't know too much about clematis, but if your fence was mine, I'd give them the willy nilly chop. Right above the first break, whatever you call it technically. Make it force new shoots from the bottom. Of course, that could be totally the wrong advise.

I forgot who mentioned the smiley on the spoon, but that wat totally unplanned. Being EYE-tailian, we use spoons with our spaghetti. I've been a smiley collector since the 70's. Had a smiley bathroom, but finally painted it. All the kid's friends were "bummed".

Did you get these great pics in a part of the park tourists get to see, or off the beaten path while looking for endagered species?

Oh Jim you deserve a break from yard work once in a while, unless you didn't enjoy where you were.

Hi Jim and Dave and everyone else. Jim, keep it healthy! Peanut butter is great with celery!

I grew the morning glory about 3 or 4 years ago.

LOL Trina! Can I watch??? :-)

Smiley I have been told by several to chop it. But with my green thumb haha fraid I'll never see it again.

that's a really pretty morning glory, skimper. do you find they are invasive? my MIL has them wrapped all around everything in her yard. I suppose that's what happens if you don't control them yourself. They run wild like tigger on chocolate. Oh Dave, I noticed Moon gave you a chocolate-ey gypsy name. I grew chocolate peppers this year. and I also love chocolate. There's no such thing as too much chocolate.

jjs, it may come back in spades! live dangerously!

I agree with you on the chocolate Smiley...i ate half a bag of chocolate chips today..not a day to stop at 1 or 2 ounces!

yes cat you can watch my tiny little butt beat people with my broom!

You should see the cool "Broom" my step-son made me!

Let's see it!

chocolate peppers?
I will have to do that. I had the clippers out there yesterday and changed my mind. Friend from Florida coming up the 11th might wait for her. She has brought many of mine back that were almost gonners.

Tiny or not, the poor guys just don't realize what power us females wield! :-)

I'm getting off here for tonight. Have a wonderful evening everyone. Talk to you tomorrow

when I say "puking houseplants" I mean it...this is just one picture and it's only of 1/4 of the room!

not to make light but when they name a hurricane after you, and your children still say you're meaner, you know your mean!

Jim I could sneak a pic of trina when I go after plants. Sshhh

well then I better take a shower then huh JJ?

Nite Cat
Pleasant dreams

Nite Cat

Nah the dirt will just add a few pounds. Probably won't even notice.

Are you all going to bed???

I'm sorry. The tag said "sweet chocolate" sweet peppers. They were a deep purple. Nice, kind of mild.

No way I'm finally done messing with plants for the night...cuz its too dark to see!!!

I have to go spend some time with the family and play with the dog.

chocolate and a hot bath does sound good though!

Trina, you have a good sleep. I don't think you have been having much sleep recently. May your sleep be peaceful.

My chupacabra got so wore out she fell asleep with her face in her food dish

lol Poor little thing!
