Night Charleen. Get a good night's rest!
Dee
Girls
I will take a pic, Dee they were $32.00, that's why I only got 1 of them, I also got some neem oil, I am going to get rid of the aphids before they get as bad as they did last year, one quart makes 16 gals
Charlene I am glad you're getting a collection, it's sooo much fun watching them grow
Elizabeth
Night Charlene
talk to you tommorrow
Elizabeth
Dee
my DH is getting me the dragon, you plug it into the computer & talk it types for you, I think that's just the neatest thing
it's on sale right now for half price
Elizabeth
Wow! That seems like a good price for what they are.Right now, I don't have that many seeds to start, but I would like to get one, before long. I got some bayer tree and shrub,to drench the pots with. I saw where mike and some others use it to control bugs, on their brugs
Dee
That sounds neat Elizabeth. I think one of my daughters had it at one time.Or maybe she just had a trial. I know they had something like that.
Dee
Dee
I have over 100 seeds, now I have 4 mini GH's but that's the only one with a heat matt, that's why I need to get another one on payday, if all those seeds make it I will have extra seedlings in the spring
Elizabeth
You sure will!!! I started the ones that you sent a, on the 29th, and I can see them starting to send out their little nub of a root, so I am gonna get some from those! There were 5 of each kind, but I dropped one seed and never did find that precious little thing, and I looked and looked.
My mini green houses were worn out. I pitched most of them last Spring.
Dee
Dee
that sounds great, already showing roots? that's pretty good, hey you won't believe the leaves on the clipping you sent me tommorrow I will take a pic of it & the pic of the mini GH I just got
Elizabeth
Oh, great! I'm glad they are doing well for you! I'm telling ya, I just love growing these cuttings!..lol Can't wait to see your pics. Elizabeth, do the brug seedlings like it as dry as the cuttings do?
Dee
Dee
I just water, when they are really dry, not to over water them, a lot of the clippings I have in peatmoss are also looking good
Elizabeth
I have cuttings in peatmoss, some in1/2 MG and 1/2 perlite mixed, and some done using brenda's TP roll method..try all different ways to see which I like best. I have lost a few, to rot, but not many at all. I'm really surprized at my luck!
Dee
Elizabeth, have you ever got cuttings from Eddiedewayne? Oh my, they are grand! Like the shredded white that I sent to you.He sent a bonus of Pink Dragon, also.
Dee
Dee
I got Mary K for my best friend of 26yrs, that's her name, also I got meadow princess from him, it didn't make it through last winter, but Mary K has done well for my friend
Elizabeth
I think I remember seeing a pic of Mary K, and thinking it was pretty. It's a double, isn't it?
Dee
Dee
it is a double, Mary is going to give me cuttings of it, I got it for her for mothers day, she's the one that got me started in Brugs, she gave me 3 trees in 2001, that started the addiction, we have been friends since 1984, we don't visit every day but we do get caught up on the phone & by emails, & we go to each others plant sales
Elizabeth
That sounds like so much fun, Elizabeth.Does she live in the same town as you? Well, you know that you are the one to blame for getting Charleen and me hooked, don't cha?..lol There we were just mosying along, tickled pink with our noid singles, and you started posting those pics of all your beauties!..LOL What a fun addiction it is!
Dee
Dee
you're too too funny, we live about 20 minutes apart, I would never live too far from her, that girl is sooo talented, she can paint, has a wonderful garden, I can call her about anything, she is also a master gardener, if I don't know what a plant is I can just discribe it for her she can tell me the bontanical name of it, & she can sew curtains, we usually trade
I help her weed, & she sews curtains & such a pleasure to talk to
Elizabeth
that would be wonderful, to have a good friend living, so close.My two best friends live a good ways away. One is in SE Ohio, and one is in southern IN, but we talk on the phone fairly often. The lady across the Street from me is a master gardener, and a plant addict like me.She has a beautiful big yard...looks like a park and she does it all by herself.But, she doesn't do the internet, so I get a lot of plants that she hasn't seen before, and she has gobbs of the tried and trues to share, so we are always sharing with each other. I have a notion that she will turn into a brug addict, come next summer, because her mailbox is right in front of wher I will have a new bed of brugs..lol
Dee
Elizabeth, I think I am gonna hit the sack. My eyes are crossing on me..lol I don't know when I will get on tomorrow night, but I will try to get my turn..lol The grandkids will be spending the night. My daughter's workplace is having their Christmas dinner, early, because the doctor she works for will be out of town, closer to Christmas. They won't get home from Indianapolis til around 10:30, so I just invited the GK's to spend the night.
Night Elizabeth!
Dee
Good night Dee
Elizabeth
Good morning, everyone. I am sitting here taking a break from the housework, and listening to Bing Crosby sing Christmas carols. Nobody sings Christmas carols like Bing!..lol..Who is your favorite?
Dee
Good Morning Dee. Must have been tired. I slept til 9:00, very unusal since I went to bed so dog gone early.
Yes, bing Crosby is a great singer. But my favorite is George Strait, love George.
Charleen
Hope you aren't getting sick, Charleen. Bing is just my favorite singer for Christmas carols. That's the only time that I listen to him..lol...My favorite all around singer is Josh Turner.I love that deep voice.
Dee
Long Black Train, I have that on my Telephone. I love it. Yes, he has one of those beautiful deep voices. Love him too. But George is a "Dreamboat". Ain't I awful?
Charleen
Charleen, when my DH and I got married in 1995, we played George Straight's "I cross my heart" I love that song.
Dee
Good morning girls. I don't listen to music. Ain't I weird? I rather listen to audio books. Never been a music person, even when I was a teen.
Kim
I was just checking my cuttings and My NOL has bit the dust...That's the second NOL that I have had rot on me. I wonder if they are harder to root than most of the others, or if it's just me...DARN...I love that one.
Dee
Morning Kim! I listen to music, when I'm alone cleaning house, or in the van, and thats about it.In the van, I keep the radio on a station that plays old rock and roll.Hope you're have a great day!
Dee
Aw, I hate it when that happens. I had to call time of death on Adeline last night. Sorry for your loss Dee.
Kim
Doing some house work of my own this morning. Getting some laundry done and keeping our woodstove going. Bunches of stuff to do. Suns up and bright not warm though. Darn. lol. Hope you are having a good day too.
Kim
My little seedling is trying to "bite the dust"
Think it's dying too. But with all this cuttings, I think I can survive...
Don't you think, girls???
Charleen
Yep, lots of new cuttings help with surviving the loss. :) Got yours packaged and ready to mail as soon as Lonny wakes up. He is a night owl. He can not sleep at night. They are packaged well so the cold won't bother them.
Kim
yeah, we will survive, but I gave my NOL a proper brug cutting funeral..had a wake...left it standing there a few days to make sure... then dumped it in the trash, with "a take that"! LOL
Kim, I just potted up an Adeline cutting. If it makes it, I will share with you, come Spring.
Dee
Kim, I was just looking at your trade list and see that you have Iochroma grandiflora. Are they hard to start from cuttings? and from seed? Do you have any idea how long it takes for them to bloom fron seed? 1st year, second, third?????? I want one!! Was looking at the seeds on e-bay.
Dee
That would be nice thank you. We don't have NOL but I am hoping the Pink Perfection grows really big this year. I would just love to share cuttings of that one. Waitting sucks. lol.
Kim
That one is on my want list, sorry. I was looking for some Iochroma for a friend on another forum for secret santa gift.
Kim
You all been busy gabbing since I left. I have a Adeline start, girls. They are still in rain water,
Dee, yours looks good for being ina pkg. for several days. Got to get them in pots now.
got to look up this First Bell, I have a Large Start of it. Bet I'll have lots of cuttings.
Don't have any of the lochroma. Hear they like Cold weather. Better get one Dee.
Kim, How are you doing, besides trying to keep warm.
Charleen
Oh Darn, I wish I could find someone that knew something about lochroma.Good, Charleen, I'm glad they are still looking good.
Dee
