THE BASIL CARAVAN

I was over on the daylily thread. Lady was giving seeds for postage. I usually miss out by the time I see it.
Maybe I made it this time?

Probably will have to take seeds to trina and pick up when they are baby plants..LOL

JJ, are you really thinking about giving Trina seeds???

Don't panic venice. I was kidding

Not sure I seen the post before they were all gone anyway.

LOL So funny!!!

Nice I'm at a funeral and you all sit around and make fun of me all day...I see how you are! I'm taking my gardening gloves and going over with the nice kids....pout

LOL....Just kidding (kinda) I got my eyes on JJ and Venice though....I can ask about Orchids since trina's not here....I saw that...Lililies for postage.....

why do we ladies buy high heels and say we love them and then have to wear a pair all day then whine how our feet hurt? (not me Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts, I smart cookie make the heels comfy)

At least you got there before Trina found them....grin. You could be saving Venice's sanity....grin

hahaha Moon.....so anybody want a 7 foot tall cactus?

I am innocent. Been gone all day myself.

Besides I think that was a compliment I was giving you. Saying you could grow the seeds into plants for me. Means I have confidence in you!!

The post were so long I was sure I was to late.
Got a dmail. Yeah for once I was not to late.

I own one pr. of heels and have worn them twice.
I got married barefooted, dress was long couldn't see feet anyway.

Hey Trina, we thought you would be gone all day!

So sorry about your friend.

My neighbor has a couple for cactus that tall.

Did someone give you a tall cactus?

OK what and where is the address exchange???

yeah any excuse Venice...giggles

No, but I got roped into going to springfield on friday and taking starts from all her plants for her 2 daughters and her sister and her husband then hubby said Judi's exact words were "Trina has to take the momma plants home so when you all kill these she can make you more....well unless tommra (her daughter, my former aunt too) is pulling them home on the trailer and then staying for the weekend to finish the greenhouse as well as her 4 kids it ain't happening....there ain't no way they'll fit....I don't even think I can get 1 of hers in here....my plants are big but hers are massive

Does Judi have a plant problem also?

yeah and her's are all BIGGER...have you ever seen a mother in laws tongeu 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide? I can't even fit the pot in my jeep, and what am I gonna do with a saguaro Cactus? strap it to the top of my jeep?

There is a school about 2 blocks from me that is closing tomorrow because of illness. They won't say what kind. But they sent kids home early today. I have a feeling it is the N1 virus! I am staying home for a while until things settle down.

She can divide up the tongues. Then she can roll up the plants in some heavy paper. The cactus could be rolled up in an old carpet.

and they woman had plumeria and Hibiscus and something she called Pink Poui Tree growing everywhere.....love ya Judy.....but well I guess If I start selling off children as day loborers I could rent 2 uhauls....

I think I will just write down all the directions for Allan, and tell him to call me if he has a problem, but he's the one who's been taking care of them for the last year to year and a half I think he's doing fine

LOL I can see you now in transport!! Doesn't your BF have a truck? Can you borrow it, lay the plants down, and leave the back down with a red flag on the plants? lol

venice the cactus probably weighs more than my jeep! it can stay put....

see this is where Judi and I always had a difference of opinion the cactus and the mother in laws tongues are actually buried in the ground and she had the bathroom built around them....I aint getting those out they've been growing and putting down roots in there for nearly 30 years!

some of the others in pots and much smaller (and I do mean a LOT) I might consider

I ove her but there is a limit even to my madness

JJs, go to the home page and click on extras. You will see the address exchange info in the list.

my brain hurts and before anyone asks....rich people get what they want....crazy rich people just want weirder stuff

Oh my gosh!!! They are in the ground? For 30 years? I guess they do have to stay where they are as long as the house is standing!

What can I say. If you have a place to put more pots, why not! Just give me the list! LOL

JJ, I have no idea where that address exchange is! I have looked for it before and couldn't find it either!

Go to the home page, click on extras and look in the list. It is the fifth item down and says Address Exchange...click on that and then the first letter of the user name for the address

JJ, I didn't see your name on the address exchange.

How far down would that taproot go though I wonder.....see I use to think the bathroom was nuts, then I saw the kitchen.

the wall between the kitchen and dinning room is a saltwater fishtank!

apparently I'm in it and didn't even know it....the address exchange that is

well gotta go to the grocery store......later

I just found all sizes of pots and seed trays on freecycle.com!!

Thank You Moon.

Venice got to love that freecycle.

Got to go for awhile, homework and cook supper. My favorite things...snickering...

my kids always ask me if I put extra arsenic in this time.....is that a good thing or bad thing?

The birds beat me to the Mountain Apples, but here is what they look like up close and inside.

The Thimbleberries are edible. They spread like crazy though and make thorny brambles.

do they taste like apples as we know them? they kind of look pear-ish.

They taste watery and sweet. They have their own flavor. They don't taste like Malus / Apples, or any other temperate fruit.

ok I think I'm home now....barring any emergency....feels like it could snow out though

Well, Trina, guess what I did.

what did you do venice?

I got some FREE things from Craigslist.com!!!

hey that's always good. so what did ya get
