This is MM from Ken it was just a stick 2 days before Thanksgiving and today I notice it has buds coming
Merry Christmas and Thanks to all
Very nice, Dana!
I do worry about the people alot, I pray for everyone everynight that they are warm and safe and fed and healthy.. I know about homeless.. I have been in that situation and promised myself I would never let my children get in that situation when I was younger. There are alot out there that the shelters and charitys have no clue about.
I have no control over anything, except my faith in God to watch over his sheep.
It is very very cold here. Thank God I have a nice warm house.
Pretty little plant.
Yes, we pray for them all. They sure do need it.
.God bless them all.
Wow Dana, looks great! Please post a pic, when it blooms.
Here'a pick of my first batch of seedlings.As, you can see, they are in bad need of transplanting, which I am getting ready to do, right now.
Dee
Dee how old are those seedlings? They look good and healthy
I started them on on Nov. 4th.They sure have grown quickly. I did transplant them tonight and planted them deeper in the new pots. I haven't had the fan on them enough and they were a little floppy, from having weak stems, and too small of pots. I think they will be fine now, tho.
Dee
New seedlings need a lot of light, you are not just trying to Winter them over, you are starting new life that really wants to get going. The faster start you get the better chances you have in getting a bloom the first year. Good luck.
Ken, since transplanting them, I have them in more light.They have always been under florescents, but probably not as much as they needed. Now they are lined up directly under them.I definately need more grow lights.
Debra, while I have never been homeless, I also went thru lots of things as a child that I wouldn't wish on anyone else, but I think it makes us who we are, don't you? Makes you know that you can survive about anything, and have more compassion for others.
I have several nice brug crosses that I am anxious to get started. Need to put some more to soak today.
How's everyones weather conditions this morning? Snow, snow, and more snow, here.
Dee
Poor Dee, no more snow here just below zero temps to go with the frozen snow we already have here.. up north of state they got another foot tho..
I like your brug babies, they look good. I have some seedlings under a hatchery light. it uses a 300 wat bulb and is very warm and bright. I am going to get a couple more when I am feeling brave enough to stop the car and get out to go in somewhere other than work, or home. LOL
North Atlanta getting some snow, we got a trace but not enough to hurt anything.
The wind was blowing earlier. They are getting exciting in the news tv.
We got 5-6 inches today, and it is 12 out right now.Glad that I'm in where it's warm.Charleen, how's poor old Charlie faring in your cold snap?
bet he wishes he was inside with you..lol
Dee
Dana and Dee your seedlings look great! Wonderful!
It is also very cold here. It hasn't been as cold as this in over 15 years. I don't like it. We have a lot of snow also. This weekend there is going to be very much snow here. Please let ik become spring soon!
Going to be a very cold weekend here. We went up to 68 yesterday just to get a break for a day. This weekend we cold see a snow flake here. They say the coldest yet to come oh boy. Yesterday morning it was 22 here and had been most the night. Its good for the plant growers poeple will be buying plants this spring. Because lots arenot going to be coming back
You can bet, they will be pricey too. 16 degrees here this AM. We live south of Atlanta and did not get much snow but we got some ice-sleet and what we have crunches. That is what on tv this AM, news of the snows in Atlanta. NO "Goodmorning America" at all.May try to plant some flower seed today, just to get my hands in the "Dirt" ☺
Goodmorning, Everyone....
I'm not sure it is all that good for the growers, most are not set up for this much extreme in themps. I planted close to 40 new Gingers that should be safe in my zone and another 15 that were borderline. I will be lucky if half make it. Keeping our hoophouse temps up to where I would like would cost us an extra $120. a month and we are only heating the one. With the economy the way it is, people are not spending what they would so we have cut back. No reason to grow plants that are not going to sell. For the growers that are growing the plants, they will need to add on the extra fuel cost. This Fall / Winter it has averaged close to 10 degrees colder every day from our normal temp for the last six weeks. I am not one of those that keeps saying I can't wait until Spring but I do wish it would just go back to a normal Winter.
Hey, you all a friend is looking for a brug called Naughty Nick? Anyone got some they want to send out when the weather gets warmer. i will play postage or trade, just send me a d-mail and we can talk it over. Thanks....
my naughty Nick cuttings died ;( .. *sniff*
Maybe We will find someone feeling sorry for us . I sure hope so. May have to put out a search and see what we can get.
I'm sure someone will get us one or two.
Another one amazing me Thanksgiving this was a bare stick and now its putting off buds I have spent the biggest part of my time with plumeria there nothing like this . Looking forward to some awesome flowers this summer this is Charles Grimaldi
Are you going to let it bloom?
Does it have some good roots? That is so cute.
We just have a couple more month and it will be time to plant
them out. I am so ready. Where there is life there is hope....
CG is an olde but a goode. It is one of the more fragrant brug. It will not disappoint you in color or blooms. We lost ours to SB but he was a trooper until then.
That is awsome. I bet you are so kacited. I just love seeing sticks turn into trees and bushes.
Mine is really going to town, he was so ate up this summer, but now he is beautiful in a tree form. I can't wait!
