Charlene

Elizabeth
Charlene
these are clippings, I have to pot up they're Blooming in the GH
Elizabeth
Charlene
your clippings look really good in those soda bottles, Good job girl, you'll be happy with those next spring, I have 3 more boxes to go out Monday, but I still have plenty of clippings
Elizabeth
oops that was Superspot with Buds
Elizabeth
now the Blooming clippings
Elizabeth
Dee sent me some wonderful EE, i didn't know there was so many. I have them in that aquarium in pots of peat most. I was scared to have them covered. Feel better now. When i picked the bag up that had the peat in with it, The bottom fell out, thankfully inside the box it was in. But got them now. Elizabeth what a great bunch of plants. I got all the ones you sent me but a couple I had. I enjoyed it.
Charleen
Charlene
Dee sent me some Huge Cannas, I had the Giant EE's it was hard to dig them, but they're in the basement also
I need to take a Pic of this Blooming Brug in the basement, it's soo dark pink it almost looks red, I will get that Pic after while, I worked on the basemnet most of today, I got some of the clippings in peatmoss in my 10 gal, aquarium
now to find a good spot for it,
would you believe most of the Brugs I have now I got this spring/summer, I think I am set, plus I have all those seedlings
plus I have a ton of seeds, I did pick up a bag of seed starting soil, & I have about 5 or 6 of those mini GH's
so I am set for Feb.
Elizabeth
I don't have any mini GH but I got 2 litr btl. that will work. I am glad to have them too. I really like the 20 oz. bottles for the brugs , I put the brugs in the peatmoss and them packed it around the sides so they would stand straight up like little soldiers. so proud of them. I took the little Maya and repotted it in the peat also. Put Dee's tuberoses in that pot.
Charleen
Charlene
I have the tuberrose also, but it didn't Bloom, it just got bigger, that's one I would have loved to Bloom, it's suppose to be fragrant, I'll have to wait, I wonder if Dee has a Pic of hers Blooming, I would love to see it
Elizabeth
These are nice bulbs she sent. I really need to seperate them but I just put them in the pot.
You should see the wild ferns down in my woods, they are so pretty. but I leave them there.
i have been tempted to dig them, but haven't yet. There's some larger ones down by the water.
Not a lot just enough to be pretty.
Charleen
Charleen
a friend of mine calls them Christmas ferns, I think because the still look good a Christmas time, I ran down to the basement to show you some more Pic's
Elizabeth
Another one
Elizabeth
Which one is it?
It is so pretty.
Charleen
Charlene
the first one is Joli & the second one is painted lady, while it was in the ground right before I dug it up it was lite pink
Elizabeth
i like them better dug up, the color anyway.
Don't you??
Charleen
Evening Ladies..Look at all those beautiful blooms...I can small them from here. Love the variegated one...Maya?? Elizabeth, I had the tuberoses in the troical bed and they got shaded out by other plants, so they didn't bloom for me.Next year they are going in a pot all their own.
Dee
Charlene
next Sprin/Summer will really show, what the color is going to be, I like them both ways, in the ground & dug up, oh the Maya does have a good scent, it's suppose to be Lt. pink but it.s white, I love the varigated ones, but I have to tell you snowbank is a slow grower
Elizabeth
Dee
that might be the problem, mine were in the ground but were shaded, thank you, I love those Blooms, I need to put the banana trees in the attic to make room for the other Brugs in the GH
Elizabeth
Right now I just want my little Maya to put on growth.
i hope she doesn't die.
Charleen
Elizabeth, your green house does look wonderfully FULL.I put my biggest banana in the spare bedroom,and the smaller pups here in the living room, where I can keep a good eye on them..lol
Dee
Charlene
do you have Maya in a sunny window or under lights, mine is in the kitchen window, right now, but when it gets cold I have to move it
Dee
thank you, it is rather full, the meyer lemon, & the agave take up space, I am glad it stays warm without heat, it might make it till the first week of Nov.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, It is in the ones I planted this morning.
Should I put it on top of the freezer? for the warmth.
Charleen
Charlene
the one I sent you is P&C, that's one of the easiest ones to grow, botton heat does help, Dee uses bottom heat, I will be for my seeds, I'll use the inexpensive heating pad
Elizabeth
Charleen the heating pads work great, set on low. I have used them for two or three years, now.Just watch that the plants don't get too dry
Dee

i guess I could set it under the plastic box, I just planted??
It would be easy to do.
o.k. will it grow long and leggy for spring??
Charleen
Dee
I think Charlene will be like a mother hen over her Brugs, that's what I acted like when I first got mine, it's so exciting
to have those ne babies
Elizabeth
do you mean with bottom heat Charleen? I only use the heat until they start putting on leaves, then I move them to under the lights.
Elizabeth, you told me that you use epsom salt, once a month, during growing season. Could you tell me how you use it?
Dee
Charlene
they usually slow down, but in Feb. if you have a nice sunny window, they will grow just fine, at the end of Feb, I have this small like alcove at the bottom of my steps that go upstairs, I put a table there leave the curtain open so they get natural light till I can put them outside at the end of April
Elizabeth
I'm watching them, all I have to do is roll my chair back and there they are, under my desk.
The frosty pinks are in front, so they are all close. I also got the Moonvine by the window now.
Charleen
Dee
glad too, do you have a MG sprayer, you fill it up with the epsome salts, then spary everything, flowers, Brugs the lawn
it works great, it greens everything up, must be a lot of people using it, the price has gotten high, catch it on sale
Elizabeth
Charlene
it took me a whole hour to cut that moonflower off the neighbor's fence, it filled up 4 garbage bags, I usually take all the stuff from my garden to my DD's compost pile, well I have a bunch of leaves & a bunch of clippings to take to her house
Elizabeth
Yeah, that Charleen, is a old mother hen with her new plants, but I can't say much, I check mine every few hours to see if any more cutting are showing any sign of new leaves..lol
Yea, Elizabeth I have the MG sprayer.Wow, that 's easy enough!
Dee
I got some mulch hay that i think I'm going to bring up and
put in my new flower bed tomarrow before the rain moves in.
I have a wagon I can use.
Charleen
That will look nice Charleen, and help keep the weeds down. I love the looks of a fresh mulched bed...
Dee
Charlene
I hope the rain holds off for another day or 2, I need to get some thinks done, you would Lowes would sell mulch in the fall, but I can't find any, I wanted to mulch my roses
Elizabeth
I still have to work on the last small flower bed yet.
don't have any Id What I am putting in ti. I have one spot I want to put in a
Goth garden, that shoud be interesting. want to find some black plants
to go in it. I have black mondo grass. guess I'll start with that and Dee's
black EE> What do you think??
Charleen
Do you use the wood mulch, Elizabeth?
I guess it didn't rain there today, Elizabeth? It rained off and on all aternoon and it's still raining here.
That will be different, Charleen. I do love dark leaved plants.
Dee
Several girls are going to do it andI like the idea
and it should be something different to do.
We should do something too. got any ideas??
Charleen
