Pass the Gypsy on the leeward side

LMWDBO! Now that is a new one! LOL

It is 60 now but this morning it felt really warm because the sun was out. I was walking on the patio and sidewalk and they were warm. (bare feet!) We are suppose to have a rain front come in later this afternoon also. My few orange marigolds were starting to bloom so nice along with that bush I gave Trina. It seems like it is goint to take forever to get seeds from several of my plants. Goofy weather.

Did you see what was in - Today's Articles? Plant Perennials in the Fall, Instead of the Spring. It is encouraging us to buy those cheap half-dead plants and assuring us they will be wonderful in the spring/summer. Don't tell Trina!!! because 4924 is now her total!!!! And she wanted to buy more tomorrow???!!!!

Aloha ahiahi! Dave, and good morning to you in your neighborhood!

Do you eat any of the fruit you show us? How are those apples now, almost ripe?

don't tell trina what Venice?

I got those pink morning glory seeds from the neighbors vine...and that's how many seeds I had left after packaging up 100 packets of 30! Like I said I did alot of seed collecting on my walkabout!

Hi Carol!

I use as much of the fruit as I can; Being diabetic I can only eat a moderate amount of carbs. I share some with neighbors, and if the fruit gets old it goes in the chicken pen.

The Mountain Apples should be ready; I'll go check when the rain stops.

This is Philodendron verrucosum, Velvet Leaf.

It is a good way to save a little money and get a head start on plants in the spring. I thought it was fun to pick at Flowers a bit. Can't wait til she tells us how she knows....grin


Hi Dave...sounds like the addition is moving right along. At least you don't have to worry about cold weather slowing the process down.

Now THAT is a Philodendron leaf, not quite what mine look like! lol

Did we know that you have chickens?

you just won't leave it alone will ya moon lol. Ok sorry folks for any visual you get here but she asked. Moon I use to work for a well drilling co. and after a 12 hr.shift under ground I saw a lot of blue and purple cracks cracks come up out of that hole so "Yes I know". And------------------If you believe that I have some swamp land in the Himalayas I'll sell ya real cheap Lol. Sorry guys, the devil made me do it!!!

Now that's a plant I could take home hehehehe...thanks for sharing dave I'll have to write that down and see if Lari Ann can get me one

Heavy rains are the biggest obstacle to construction here.

I've known about the chickens for quite a while now!

More, Oncidium 'Sharry Baby'.

More fun later, Hey Trina, Dave and Venice gotta go do another virus scan my server is very slow and can hardly post again. Cya

bye flowers...

Dave stop it your making my heart flutter!!!!

Dave, aren't you the funny one!!! You know what I meant! Do you personally have chickens there? Is that better?

Flowers, you are a riot!!

I will be back later!

This one is Cochliostema odoratissimum. An unusual epiphyte of the Commelina Family, from Central America.

ack I'll never catch up! Hello All! worked a few hours today, it's run run run.
Maybe tonight I can come back and play!
have a good one!

Yes I do have chickens. Although I can't eat egg yolks because of the cholesterol.

Time to saw wood, and check whether I have to go to work or not. Back later!

A hui hou!

Bye Dave...now that you have me all twitterpated!!!!

Flowers, that was a really funny picture in my mind.

Paints quite a picture there......Flowers.......uuummmmm glad it is still warm here....lol


Julie, Checked out My art space. Nice place....Bill has some really striking paintings and also some that are very reflective...and some amusing also. Really nice feel to them. My compliments to him.

Time for the Kid

wait I missed something Julie please explain

I must admit. I was very bad to day. I bought 4 plants, 3-$1 and 1-$.77. The cheap one is he minature aster. The others are an Asiatic Lily and 2 "Tropical" plants. Who knows what they are!

Woops! I mean to put this photo with the last post.

The tropicals are terribly root bound and they go in the house. The aster will just go in the ground, easy peasy. Now, what do I do with that Lily? Moon, maybe you can help me with that.

I am sorry, but I just couldn't resist them!!!

Trina, what did you miss?

Venice, what do you mean about the lilies?

something about paintings Julie

wa-ay up there I was having show & tell with Bill's collage work. Moon went to myartspace.com and searched for Bill Golba. That's DH. (free plug!)

LOL....ok I get it now

Yeah my oldest will be back home tonight at 10:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where is everybody?

I only have had daylillies. Do I just stick it in the ground cut it off or what?

ok Venice add two packages of anise hyssop seeds, 151 Lunaria annua "Money Plant" seeds, approx. 2000 double marigold seeds, 10 Lobelia cardinalis plants, 10 Alchemilla Mollis plants, and 20 carpet bugle plants to my total

Just cut the old blooms off and plant it in a sunny location at the same depth it is planted at. when the foliage turns yellowish brown, cut it off and the plant will come back next year.

That sounds like good deals...why apologize?

Done! I had to put your seeds/plants/cuttings on an Excel file so I can click on a total at any time.

lol Venice! that's too funny

That's not funny! I gotta do, what I gotta do!

I really don't need any more indoor plants. I don't have windows all over my place like Trina does. And I really shouldn't be buying anything because come spring I will be need things.

I got two packages of anise hyssop seeds today also

Trina, I have a question. Did you count all those 2000 seeds???

Those look like nice healthy lilies, Venice. Like Moon said, stick 'em in the ground. I feel like du-uh, but I always left my brown stalks on. Makes perfect sense, though. A brown, dead stalk won't do anything for the bulb.

Thanks Moon, I learned something new!

I wish I knew what color they are. But whatever is just fine.
