GOODBYE TO BASIL FOR ANOTHER YEAR

Love those ferns but man do they shed in winter.

Trina, do you need to plan your veggie and flower gardens?

and before I forget....the teacher that told my daughter to just go sit back down it was only period cramps, decided to announce to the entire class that she had emergency surgery and might not make it through......Needless to say her father woke the superintendent of the school district up at 6 am when our pastor stopped by to offer prayers that he hoped she would pull through this difficult time! and Rob's sister Connie, who works at the school, called to ask why the hell he didn't tell her amanda was in ICU!

I think we have mulberry trees here too Kassy, gonna have to look it up and see a picture. Rubarb is about to become extinct. Not many people care for it these days. I love a good rubarb pie, my mom made em every summer.

I like to make rhubarb crsip too but we won't let my aunt near it because every time she tries to make it in an aluminum pan and kill us all

never thought of that Trina what happens in an aluminum pan?

Oh Hey Dave, jump in didn't mean to be rude.

when you cook it something between the rhubarb and the aluminum reacts turning the whole thing into a deadly dessert!

brb phone

and Venice Veggie gardens yes they have to be planned especially if your going to plant more than one variety of something if you want them to stay true

MMMMM Kassy, Dry ice will keep that crisp frozen until it gets here.

Had a mulberry tree outback. DH cut it down cuz the sheets hanging on the line always had purple stains on them. LOL

OMG JJ that was too funny!

But very true Trina.
Mulberry tree next to clothes line, one of them has to go

And I have a great recipe for rhubarb bars. They are as good as pie. My mom's recipe.
After my mom made it the first time, my nephew who is a big fan of rhubarb pie, told her she never had to make pie again.

I would have gotten rid of the cloths lines JJ..............LOL

wow I have a lot of plants, but amazingly I now have room for more....LOL

I'll be the judge. Get baking.
Lynnie can send some mounds brownies too.

Moon that site will take a while to get through, but what goodies. Thanks

so what seeds should I start first?

Don't you have to lay out a plant first?

Sorry JJ, no rhubarb right now...........LOL

nope veggies (if you've grown them before) you pretty much now how big they get, so you just keep that in mind when you lay out your rows

I can wait. LOL

Hey Dave my syngonium and my pothos are arguing for the same space, who do you think will win?

where'd everybody go?

Definitely the Epipremnum!

Syngonium is aggressive and invasive like Epipremnum, but does not get as large.

I have seen Epipremnum overwhelm Syngonium plants in Onomea. Next time I am there (maybe Monday) I will try to remember to get a photo.

I had just not seen a syngonium stretch out so far away from its pot before...it looked neat

Trina, is that what you are growing, that big thing????

Yeah, venice mine's just not even close to that big yet

I finally got a call from my son. They are both so busy working that they are hardly at home. So my son said, "Mom, when is your birthday?" LOL Most of the time he remembers me but never on my birthday. He can never find where he put that info!!!
I know the dog ate it! lol

How big is yours now?

which pot? LOL longest trailer right now I'd say is 6 feet. maybe a little more, but I can't grow it like it would in nature (yet anyway) so it just stays small maybe the longest leaf is 8" long

Oh. Was Dave's growing up a tree?

yeah I believe so....I have several varieties of Philos that can get that large too if given the opportunity....I like the big plants...LOL

Can't you get something so it can grow UP?

I have 4 more to vote on and tomorrow is the last day! Deadline is Monday morning I think. Please correct me if I am wrong.

eventually I will, did you go visit that website I posted the other night?

www.exoticrainforest.com

That's what I want to build only bigger

Oh, yes. I saw it. The jungle!!!!

I want one like that just for those types of plants, and another for desert plants, and so on and so forth...LOL

Trina, it is about my bedtime. So I am going to head that way.

Night! And have a good evening and a restful sleep.

See you tomorrow.

night carol, i'm still potting up plants!

Night Venice, just got off the phone with my daughter. Glad you got to talk to your son. Have a peaceful sleep.
