Cottage Garden Seed Swap & Chat #45

i dont know how much i will be on this weekend. right now i am totally upset and crying and just dont know how to handle it all right now. so much for christmas for me and my 18 year old. hubby heads out this tuesday and will be gone for months. the money i put back for christmas has to go with him. i would gladly give it up for him to be here.

i just dont know how to handle him being gone for so long and so far away. at least when he went it was around the south area where i could go visit. this round i cant go visit at all as i cant fly and no way to drive there.

sorry just in bad mood


wish i got something in mail besides bills anybody want those?

Imzadi, I'm so sorry. That just is awful, but we are still here if you get lonely. You are welcome to come to the chat thread with us. And no don't need anymore bills, I have plenty.

Star:
Sent my package this week, but forgot to let you know...so sorry. Should be getting soon, if I don't see it in your Santa Piggy bag!

Ella - I sent my seeds on Weds.....and forgot to let you know!!

Star- loved that pic of that bag. Looks like my box is in there.
I was worried that it might get lost, as even though I sent it priority I forget to get a tracking number (silly me!). So please let me know if you got it.
Thanks!

Patricia

Ella,
Glad you got my box - had multiple packages to send out that day
and forgot all about the confirmation sticker.

Morning folks!

Sory late getting here, but ha d to stay off puter as son was gonan make a quickie call from overseas. Got the call a few minute s ago, could barely hear him, but wil take anything.

Imazadi... Hey I usually around the threads on the holidays. It just em and my son and he overseas , so I usually hang out on Dg and you'll find a bunch of folks all around too that will spending time alone and with all the bad weather and snow up the east cost even mroe folks be stayign at home by themselves.

yep i hard when they gone, but there a whole lot you cna do while he is. Take afe w days to do the miss thing and then start to do activitie s and get involved again with lif e around ya and start thinking abotu what ya cna acomplish from yoru talents and desires and likes . Set ya small goals at first and you'll be surprised at how much inner strength ya have and how much ya cna acomplish.

Mail hasn't coem today yet so may have mroe names to add later. : )

Hi Ella :) So glad you got to talk to your son today that's wonderful news! Even if you couldn't hear what he said hardly at least you got to hear his voice that means a lot I'm sure!

Hmm confirmation sticker? I didn't know we could get one ahead of time I didn't get one but there is money in there for little extras like that for forgetting and sending the newbie boxes and postage back, then you keep whatever is left over little piggy :) snort snort

It's been raining here and it's so icy cold outside I haven't even went out to the mail box today either we were suppose to get maybe an inch of snow this morning but we haven't goten anything yet thank goodness all I want is snow flurries for Christmas Day to make it more Christmas like ;P

Thanks for the ammonia recipe idea y'all! I've been trying to find the proper dilution ratio, only I didn't know it was good for killing slugs. I'd heard about using ammonia solution from a lady I used to garden for, who said her mother had used it, and had the most amazing houseplants. I did some reading and found out it can be used as nitrogen fertilizer, but not knowing how much to dilute it, I never tried. That's about as cheap as you can get for soluble nitrogen plant food. And now I'll know that I'm feeding my seedlings and killing lurking slugs- fantastic!

Neil... check out "The Recipe" thread in the Brugs forum... not quite sure how i stumbled on it last summer... but....

TCS, You are a most efficient organizer as well !!

I got my box today....ORCHIDS!!!! yeah happy piggy dance

LOL... i just wish i was as organized in my bedroom and closet.

Congrats Trina. Got to show us pictures when you get blooms.

well here's hoping Mekos....but since I bought small ones it will be awhile before I get blooms...but that's ok! I don't mind growing them bigger, especially at that price!

see just babies...but my babies...60 of them! not to get them put in there new little baskets and get them hung up

and the evil things we do to our dog!

That is just precious!

she has a leather jacket for on the motorcycle too! oh and HE bought her a bathrobe with a duck on it and a swimsuit for christmas....I almost feel sorry for the dog! LOL

Trinia, how old is she?? She looks like a pup yet.
So Pretty. I love her.

she's about 5 to 6 months....just went in heat for the first time. My Grandma gave her to me

tcs1366,
Thanks so much for helping Ella out here , know she is thankful. Think she taking a rest right now but she is going to be delighted you did this for her!!
Carolyn

Ella thanks for letting me know my box arrived safely. The daffs were kept cool until I started packing then started sprouting on me cause DH keeps the house too warm. They sure are determined to grow is all I know. Did you like the bumpy thing in the evelope?

Merry Christmas everyone. I really enjoyed this and I'll do better next year now that I've seen how it works and will be more prepared and sure to have more interesting seeds to share.

I"ll be starting a new thread so when Ella gets back, this one will still load for her...
gimme a min or two.

Carolyn... thanks for keeping us posted on Ella.
