Coffee Break # 75

Oh no. Hope she heals quickly. How is your son??

oh no.. poor baby

Is it worth starting greens by seed indoors?? Anyone do it?

Victor!! Are you talking about Meschlin mix lettuces?
My sister starts them in a planter outside in Late April in Z6

never tried.. if it's too warm they will bolt and taste bad

Any of them. Mixes or individual types like escarole, buttercrunch, etc.

Easier to direct seed in early April.....just plant a little, then keep planting every other week, otherwise greens will bolt at the first sign of heat....Hard to believe people were so insensitive at 911 Memorial....just thinking back to that day saddens me.....Jen, hope the little ones get better soon.....

Praying her little face heals quickly. Kiddos certainly keep us on our toes.

Saddens me, too, RD. My niece noticed an airliner flying low that morning and figures it was one of the ones into the towers. I need to visit there one day with her. She used to work there and lost many friends.

Jen, how awful! Hope she heals well.

Karen

Poor baby , Jen...give her an extra scoop of ice cream for being such a trooper! :)

Thanks everyone she def is a trooper didn't want to leave school, wanted to go back to class.

Son is doing much better back to school tomorrow...and you are not going to believe it, hubby is sick again......are you kidding me???????

Oh No! When it rains, it pours. Hope you all bounce back quicker than you'd think, Jenn. Mishaps and illness are so exhausting.

When one person gets sick it's a domino effect. Hope hubby gets well soon and you and DD don't get it.

Karen

Awww, Jen, hope your little girl heals nicely. My son did a face-plant on the asphalt in the playground when he was in pre-school. Two days later I had to take him for his passport photo. The whole left side of his face around his eye was one giant scab. Great photo. It's all gone now, covered up by teenage pimples!

All you Lobster lovers....read this!

Yeaaaaaa toss it back. I'm not a Mainer but cousin says those huge ones dont make good eating.

They don't they are tough!

Jen.. hope everyone heals up quickly! Isn't it amazing how things come in THREE's?! LOL! I swear by that "rule" these days. Seems anytime one of my kids gets sick, 2 others in the house get it (rarely ever all 4 of us LOL! Usually its my kids first then hubby and by the time it reaches me, even though I'm the one taking care of them all... I either don't get it or get the milder end of it LOL!)... same can be said for us with things breaking around the house! One thing goes then 2 others break. What could have costed like $50 to fix just for one thing, add up to over $200 to fix all three! LOL!

victor.. I'm not sure about greens, as I don't usually plant them (my MIL does a lot of that kinda stuff I think), but I was wondering the same thing about veggies. More because I'm just itching to keep my hands in dirt, regardless of the fact that its February LOL! I've been debating on trying to start a few veggies indoors at the beginning of march... like peppers. I'm just trying really really hard to push away the temptation of it, mostly because I'm not entirely sure of exactly WHEN my hubby is going to be able to build my raised garden this spring, so I don't want to start things too terribly early in case he's not able to get it built until later than I hope. lol.

Ok, I just had to share this lol.

I "follow" this guy (creator of www.douggreensgarden.com) on FB and Google+. He posted this video on Google+, and I just got the biggest kick out of this LOL!

I'm considering that for vole controle and Creeping Jenny.

LOL! I hear ya there! I have problems with voles too.

((((Hugs)))) for you Jen, sounds like you need them. I hope all is better soon for you.

Don't do greens Victor sorry can't help.

My poor GD Sophie is having a real hard time dealing with Atticus' death and now she has the stomach bug...this is round two for them, all were sick a few weeks ago...what the heck!

Jen, hoping things are looking brighter this morning.

Lugs, hugs for dear Sophie. Praying she feels better soon.

Hugs for those that need them today...yes, when it rains, it pours! Love that solution to clashing plants....wish I could do that to select areas in this yard.....am hosting 2 women tonight, members of a choir from Africa, currently living in Portland, ME....and that Maine lobster resembles one my stepson caught, & put under his jacket to hide! He made chowder out of it, & swears it wasn't tough....however, Michael eats anything.

it is good your daughter is a trooper jen - those types of injuries look worse than they really are - plenty of pictures! :)

celeste saw that lobster on the news last night - glad they are putting back in the ocean

victor greens come up quick - as marilyn says just sow them in april (maybe march this year?)

Hey - do you think that solution for plants that clash would work on neighbors? (Just kidding.)

Tough way to weed as well.

I hope the daughter is feeling better.

LOL ayankeecat... prolly but wouldn't advise it lol

Had to share that lobster story on FB. Glad they're letting it go.

LOL @ that video on how to deal with plants that clash. Would be nice to use that technique on any unsightly trash in a neighbor's yard.

Ronnie, I hope all in your family who are currently sick will just get the heck better soon!

Karen

that lobster was HUGE

Amazing before and after from the Japanese quake last year.

http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/02/japan-earthquake-before-and-after/100251/

Now can you show us New Orleans before and after pics? bet some places look exactly like they were just hit with a hurricane

true Jen,
there are places that are abandoned and never rewnewed.

Amazing!

The Japanese are incredible. If that occurred here it would take years to get it that clean. Union fights over who does the work. Environmental impact studies for years. Cost would triple.

Wow...they still have a lot of rebuilding to do, but it certainly has been cleaned up......the 3 dams here are still closed after the Oct. 29th snowstorm.....wish I could show the rangers those photos!

Little guy came in first in his den in this year's Pinewood Derby heat. Pack Finals next Friday.

congrats! My son always had fun making his cars interesting.

Thanks. It's fun.

Woohoo, little guy!!! Good luck in the finals
