Hamilton, OH

Charlene
I am glad you get to see it twice a year if they were only fragrant, or maybe yours is? I have hydranges blooming right now & I think finally my figs are getting ripe, I only have 4 after the squirrels got done, there was 13, I don't know if the eat them or just pick them

That is a nice fountain, Charleen! Your yard is going to be so pretty come spring.I wish my lantana got that big. I am wintering my lantana plants over in the basement this year. Hope it works.

charleen that is something we don't have in common. I don't like azalea's and rododendrons. They make me think of graveyards.
Your garden is going to look very beautifull. I will send you plenty of seeds! You also put a lot of brugs in there and next year......wow!
I know how much work moving stones is.
Here we had to remove a lot of debris. The former owner used it to put trailers on it. I took a very long time before we got everything out. But now it looks nice, I think. I'll show some pictures when I am sitting at my other computer where my pics are.

I would love to see them, Jori. My lantanas are Miss Huff, and she does grow for me in a huff.
The rocks I am moving were under an old house we tore down. I loved them so moved them to places where I knew I could use them whenever i needed them.
Elizabeth, I don't know if they have a scent or not, I shall have to sniff them. HUH?
Do you all like the color of the Fountain?? I was thinking of repainting it.
Thank you all for the good words on my flower gardens. Jori, I'll be putting Brugs in there too.
Elizabeth, the mule and donkeys eat my figs. I bet I didn't get a half dozen.
Jori, I'll be watching the mail for your pkg.
Seems like We four always have things in the mail.

Elizabeth

He has the prettiest blue eyes, Jori, I know you are a proud Mama. He is so cute.
Love the cherries on his ears. Beautiful orchards. We can't grow sweet cherries in Georgia ,
it doesn't stay cold long enough. We have Peaches and Pecans. Deliscious, they make the best
Peach ice cream. When I lived in Mo. I had a cherry tree, Had wonderful cherries and I know yours
is too. So Pretty. Our aver. lows are about 40 degees F. I asked my DH.

Got my Christmas club but that is going to pay Property taxes. BOOM!!!
It's gone, that fast. Only one got Christmas was the tax department. Isn't
that something? Gone that fast. But that's o.k. We have Christmas everytime we
get plants from our friends. isn't that right Girls????
Charleen

Ladoga, IN(Zone 6a)

Waiting on payday, is the story of my life...lol...but like you,I love sending and receiving boxes. Yep, just like Christmas..I get so excited! How are you going to wrap the cuttings. I know you said something about a diaper..How??
Dee

Ladoga, IN(Zone 6a)

Yes, we do Charleen.It is so much fun to share plants with others that love them as much as we do!When we get something special, we want our friends to have it too, right?
Dee

Hamilton, OH

Dee
I am going to wrap them with a wet paper towel, then talk my DD out of a diaper, then wrap a diaper around it, so it stays nice, then I am filling it with shredded paper, so they don't move
Elizabeth

Barnesville (Charle, GA(Zone 8b)

Right,Happiness is shareing with frends.
Charleen

Ladoga, IN(Zone 6a)

K, thanks, Elizabeth.
Sure is Charleen.
Dee

Barnesville (Charle, GA(Zone 8b)

That sounds like it will make it over there with no problem.
I know she will like everything you send, Elizabeth.
Doesn't it ,Dee?
Charleen

Hamilton, OH

Charlene
what size box, got there the quickest? I want to make sure it gets there in good shape
Elizabeth

Ladoga, IN(Zone 6a)

Yes, the diaper sounds like a great idea!
Dee

Barnesville (Charle, GA(Zone 8b)

I think I made one out of a box I had. I didn't use a p.o. box.
About the size of a ceral box, not a large one either. All I sent
her was the cuttings, I was cruel to them. Sent them Dry. Think I did
dip them in hormone. i know I marked the top from the bottom. i was
afraid I might dip the wrong end in the hormone. I'm so forgetful
sometime.

they made it, so it wasn't that cruel, I know they will grow good for Jori, I will look around I always have boxes, did you wrap it with some kind of paper?

Elizabeth

Ladoga, IN(Zone 6a)

I can't wait to see him open up Charleen!You know that you have to post a pic, when he does..
Dee

Hamilton, OH

Charlene
that's one I have never heard of, looks really healthy, I can't wait to see the bloom open, are you going to take it in? or just get clippings
Elizabeth

Barnesville (Charle, GA(Zone 8b)

I believe I did Elizabeth. I think
I put papertowel around it. I can't get
over how forgetful I am sometimes.
Ask Jori, she will tell you. I'm just glad she got them
and I hope she can make them live. I think i sent
her 6 of them. 2 standard and 4 above Y, I think that
is what I sent.
