yes,very nice elizabeth.i'm with charleen,that egg will be good and done.
heres a pic of the snow we got,so far.
retta
this was taken out through the east window
Brugmansia seedlings
Charlene
not if it's a dinosaurus egg, it would be perfect for that, anyway my GD go ready for school in record time, she keep checking the sand flowing, it was so cute to watch her
Retta, is it still snowing, that's a very pretty Pix, so far this morning it's only cold, no snow yet, it will be great when we all have nice warm weather
Elizabeth
~knocking on wood~ ..... no snow in our forecast. Is going to be in the low 60's all week. Got down to 36* yesterday morning, but no freezing forecast. Of course, I don't trust anything until Easter ...... and sometimes I wait until May Day. Hard to do, but I don't want to jump the gun and lose them.
no,its stopped for now but they say more tomarrow,90%.
retta
That is awsome, Elizabeth. I LOVE it!
It got down to 31 this am, but up to 56 this afternoon.. *sigh*
That is a real find Elizabeth!!! and if it`s helping your Granddaughter thats a Big plus!
I have never seen one like that before!
Karen
Lordy, Girl. It is beautiful and I'd love to meet you but You can come see me. Come on down. It would freeze my flowers. You be careful in that stuff.
Just checking in, everyone. I haven't been on the puter much lately :o(. Everyone's pics are great.Elizabeth, great looking seedlings!
Last week was beautiful here, but this week in a different story...just like Elizabeth said. It was 74 one day and we had snow flurries the next...crazy weather!!! But it won't be long now! The bulbs and some of the perennials are popping up in the yard.The brugs, lantana, etc, in the basement are showing signs of life, even tho they are still in winter storage.
Retta, I plan on sending your cuttings out the first week in April, weather permiting.Crit did you want to send postage for a box of cuttings too?Just let me know.
Elizabeth, that is one very cool hr. glass....guess it would be an hour and 1/2 glass...lol
Dee
Retta, I have started some Charles Grimaldi for you.. hang tight and keep wishing for Spring..
Good Morning Everyone
Karen, you would get such a kick out of Maria, I let her play her dsi, I turned the glass over, I told her when it's done, times up on her game, I am amazed how well that worked, it's great to see you
Charlene, I know it's so much warmer in Ga. How's your GH working for you? I bet you have all kinds of new life in there
Debra, you're such a sweetheart, making sure everyone has Brugs, in another 2 weeks, I hope the weather acts right so I can start putting mine in the ground
Dee, I can cancel the APB, where on earth have you been? you have be missed, how's your enclosed porch working?
I have Brugs in mine, please don't stay away so long
Retta, it's hard to believe, there's only 5 more days of march, Yippee, my favorite months are April, May & June, not too cold & not to hot, now that's my kind of weather
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, I was planning on bringing the brugs up onto the enclosed front porch, but I want to get it painted first, and that hasn't got done yet. I'm hoping the next warm spell. I have the paint and am ready to go, but if it's not one thing, it's another.
The sunporch room is full up, and I have moved seedlings and plants into two other rooms in the house.I'll sure be glad, when I can get everything outside, and I know everyone else here will be,too.Our weather forecast says it's gonna be cold most of this week.As low as 29-30 at night, then it should warm back up.
I'm glad you girls have my back(the APB)...lol I have been having problems with my new thyroid medicine. I have been on high doses of pure thyroid for many years, because my thyroid is almost non-funtional and they decided to stop making it I guess, because the local pharmacies, and my mail order supplier, just couldn't get it. So the dr. had to change me back to synthroid which I took many years ago.Ever since, my levels have been really low, and they are gradually bringing it back up, but in the mean time, I am not a ball of fire. :o(( It's a slow process, and this is not a great time of year to have the lazies.

Yes dee, I would love to. Can you tell me what you have so I don't get a bunch of the same ones? I know I have several Isabella's. Thanks!!!! Just let me know.
April, May and June are my favorite months too. However, May is our big tornado month. Last year we had a record number of tornado's on May 10, Mother's Day/My Birthday.

retta
Elizabeth, my brugs are coming to life in there . I plant some tomatoe seed and have them growing and I need to repot them. I have some more seed in there to get growing too. I am going to make me some shelf of somekind for it.
Charleen
I have to say again I LOVE the cute little plastic bag holder that you made. So talented. Thank you again!
It is so cold here *sigh*..
I think I have the winter blues even tho I have lots of plants inside to play with..
I had a daughter on Mothers Day, this year she will be 30.. hard to believe that..May 11th back then..
Dee
believe it or not, when I went to the doctor, for some kind of bug, I got antibiotics for that & he put me on high blood pressure pills as well, I hope your thyroid pills work, I know about being lazy, I was for a couple months, then I had to get busy, I will take a photo of my new windows on the back porch, they sure do make a difference, also the fireplace out there
keeps it cozy, I did rearrange my Brugs in the basement anyway it's so good to have you back
Charlene, I just knew you would have a bunch of things in your GH, I will start using mine just for transition when we do have warmer weather, I don't like paying the city any more than we have to, to heat the house
Crit, you're so right retta sent me one also, I am going through my Brugs, to send her a couple, for sending that neat bag
holder, I used it from day one it's so cute
Retta, I need your address, it's suppose to start warming up Friday, April first as long as it's 50 degrees, they should travel
just fine, I was really surprized at how the Brugs are waking up
Elizabeth
Debra
we were posting at the same time, Girl the temps are dropping here also, but we didn't get the snow, that they predicted
it's great to have everyone back on Yippee
Elizabeth
We are Family!!!!!
Crit, I will try to get a list together for you, in the next few days.
Elizabeth, you have high blood pressure?? But you are soo tiny...hmmmm.I would love to see a pic of your new windows and fireplace...sounds so cozy!
Charleen, I know you are enjoying your greenhouse! I bet things ARE coming to life in there.We need a recent pic of Kaluah?? isn't that your newest pup's name? Yep, we are family!
Debra, That warm spell followed by this cold spell is hard to take, isn't? Snap out of it girl, it won't be long before we are dragging from all the yard work, but it soooo nice watching for new blooms everyday, isn't it...It won't be long now.
Like the rest of you, I love my bag holder, from Retta.It has been hanging full from the day I got it.
Dee
My grandmother was born on May 12. She wanted my Mom to wait 2 more days and she said NO WAY! lol
hello all,
i'm really glad you like the bag holders i made and sent,i have two more to send out,
i made and sent them because i wanted to,not for any other reason.
i like making things and surprising people with them.
i just wish fabric hasn't gotten so expensive.
yes we are a family,i found that out.
i really like this forum,u all are so helpful,not like other sites or for that matter other forums on
dg.
well time to call it a nite,been a long day.
retta
((((((retta)))))))
((((((((crit))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
yes
Lookie, Maya still holding her bloom buds ;))))
Good evening Everyone
I spent most of the day in the basement, I'll get the photo's taken afterwhile, I brought some more Brugs up from the basement
Dee, size doesn't matter, I think it's stress, all my life I have had low blood pressure, just a tad, then the doctor told me it was high, Oh I have put on a few pounds over the winter
Charlene is it warm in Ga? it's down right cold here today, come on warm up
Retta, that was so sweet of you, we are family, I love our visit's on here
Debra, looking good, I think I need more lights in my basement, my poor little maya lost all it's leaves looks like a stick
Crit, are you staying warm, How's your weather today, Thursday it should start to warm up for everyone
Elizabeth
Today it has been cool, We had a good rain. 57-60 degrees, Yep, that's warm after this last winter. I can handle this....
Charleen
I sspent the day in the basement garden, too. I ad a lot of messes I left all over, to.. stopped to take a nap, thought I was taking college girl back, but we decided we will wait until morning when I might be more awake..
got some new caladiums.. Siam Red
Joyce, it has been pretty cool here this weekend. 40's. Freeze warning last night, got down to 31*. Was in the 70's Friday. Suppose to be cool all week then warming up starting Friday. Thanks for checking on me.
Debra, that sounds like me .I go to the plant room just to admire the plants and straighten up, and I find somthing that needs done, transplanting, etc, and end up more things spread out than I had to start with.
Here is a pic of some of my desert rose seedlings that I recently transplanted. I have really enjoyed watching these grow the past couple months.What are those beautiful burgundy foliage plants toward the middle of your pic?, and the onein the left rear, with blooms coming on? They all look great!
Dee
Dee: AWWWWW those are so CUTE!
The pink thing is carolina jasmine.. and some lantanas, and caladiums and that is it I think. ALl my tropical Hibs are blooming very heavily. They know they are going to get a trim soon..
Good Morning Everyone
the sun is out but it's cold this morning, what nice photo's, here are the back porch windows & the fireplace on the porch, I wish it were a bigger space, some of my new Brugs bit the dust, but the bigger one's are doing great
Dee what cute plants, Girl you've got the touch, DR is one plant I can't keep alive, you do so well with them
Debra, I just love your basement Garden, everything always looks so healthy
Crit, your weather is extreme, we had the same weather, I am so glad we don't have snow
Charlene, I know you're getting ready for the growing season
Retta, we are suppose to have warmer weather this weekend, Yippee
Elizabeth
here's the fireplace out there
Elizabeth
here's another photo, of my new windows
Elizabeth
Here's the sewing machine stand, I just got, I already had the marble to put on it, it makes a nice plant stand
Elizabeth
;)))very nice elizabeth,your windows look something like mine.we had them put in 4yrs ago.
like that porch and your new plant stand.very unique.
well i will find room for all the brugs i get and hopefully survive.
so far,so good with the ones that debra sent.looks like cherub is getting new growth,the little one is doing nicely in the window.
remember the pic i showed you all,of the angel wing begonia,that i posted last fall.
well i also cut it back about the same time,and i sent one to charleen,well you won't believe it,but it's almost to the ceiling.going to have to set it on the floor.here is the pic.
Yea, Elizabeth!! Those windows look great and I know you have been wanting them for a while.I love your fireplace...very pretty! And you will never believe it, but I also have an old sewing machine base that I put a small tabletop on, and I use it as a plant stand too. Great minds think alike!
Debrah, your hibiscus' are so pretty! I guess it was the Caladiums that I was asking about. I thought they might be caladiums, but I wasn't sure.I love what they are doing with caladium breeding now a days.
Rhetta, you have some very happy looking plants there. That is one big begonia!
Charleen since your yard will be popping before the rest of ours, you have to keep us entertained with some pics!!
Elizabeth, this is the first time that I have had desert roses. They were easy to grow from seed. I just hope I can keep them going!
Dee
Retta, very nice plants you have there, that is a big Begonia, you gotta love those windows
Dee, you remember the storm windows on the back porch, Thank goodness, they're gone, it's much easier to heat now, with good windows, I have 5 more to get done, then the whole house is done, even the attic, believe it or not, our utitility
bill was $50.00 cheaper this month, even with the cold weather, we had the blown in insulation installed, it was $3800.00
but paying it $380.00 a month it will be payed off in 9 more payments, so we don't have to pay interest, Yippee I like that
Yes great minds do think alike, I also have one in the basement, with the same kind of marble
Elizabeth
well i'm going to have to trim back the plant,then find someone who wants a piece.i already have a few of them already and growing real good.
look out debra,you might get one.going to send you a coleus any way,so i might as well add another along with your bag holder.
gotta love ya family.
retta
Here is outside my back door.
