Begonias... today they are particularly beautiful... really filled out nicely!
Spring NE RU - Saturday June 28th 2008 - Part 2
Ooooo! I love the little saucer pot. Do you have a nice pot to put the plant next to it in?
Yes Kassia, that is indeed 'Navajo Princess'!
No, I dont' have a pot... you just gave me an idea!!!
Celeste - I love it... I think I took 30 pictures...lol... just to make sure...
The cup looks great Kassia. We liked it even when it was empty!
Having nothing else to do today(ha ha) I looked up all the plants and seeds I received from all you lovely people and added up what it would have cost me to purchase them........about $370. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh guys finally I am doing what I have always wanted to do... sit outside, among my roses in a late summer afternoon with my laptop (being eaten by mosquitos ... no not on the dream) and talking to you guys... life is good... if only I did this more often...
and this is what I am looking at... it's a good moment... there is peace and contentment in my soul!
No JB's, Kass??
I found 3 today,... glad to report they are dead!
RIP!
I really am sorry to have missed such a grand celebration of gardeners & gardening--thanks for the photos, Harper---now I have a better idea of whom I'm talking to---but I'd rather meet everyone in person. Fall RU?
make it 5 dead JB.... just killed 2 more... oh the battle has started... they are not supposed to come until July... well they are a day early...
here is where I am sitting right now!!!!
That's cool, Kass. I have to start bringing my laptop to the patio. Can't at this time of day though - I get eaten alive.
ok here you guys go... the carrot salad recipe
Ingredients:
1 can of crushed pineapples
1 small bag of shredded coconut
2 carrots coarsely grated or scrapped
1/2 cup Raisins (more or less if you’d like)
Directions:
Rinse raisins. Soak raisins 10-15 minutes. Just enough to soften them up.
MIX crushed pineapples, shredded coconut, carrots and raisins into a bowl
Refrigerate for a few hours
Can make ahead of time. It always tastes better the next day
Yum!!
really yum!!!!
I told Michele... I would make that and take it for lunch...nice for a hot summers day
It sounds awesome, Allison. It's going into my recipe book.
Yeppers! Just put it there, via OneNote.
Allison, thanks for the recipe!
Kassia - Hank and I LOVED that little nook garden where you have your table and chairs!! He took me right over to it to show me how nicely it is framed with the raised beds of pretty roses!
Robin - we missed having you at Kassia's RU too!!
Thanks, Louise---hopefully the next one for me!
Hope so.......!
I can't believe we've managed to leave this thread alone for 7 days!
Appearently not.
I hope we are talking plants Sherrie.
Too bad! I'll get you another next gathering.
My Anemone already has a little bud...which I was surprised because I thought it was fall blooming...It is standing up nice and tall...hopefully it is the Anemone...can't wait to see it.
Liza
Sherrie...I find columbines croak a lot...they are very particular about when you plant them... I brought home an elephant ear hosta bulb, rhizone or whatever you call it, and it already has new growth...
LOVE EVERYTHING.. Thanks again everybody.
Liza
Yeah, my Anenome is on the extremely disabled list. DH planted it out and then we did not water it for a week. Bad call on our part. I haven't given up, though, David!!! It may yet pull through.
So is my anemone (not doing well). I planted it in a pot the very first night, but all the foliage died. I'm hoping the roots are still strong and it's just trying to recover.
Maybe that's what mine is doing too.
This was the first time I divided them. Maybe they are tricky. I hope they work out.
Please fear not, David. We are all learning as we go along ..... at least I hear some of us are learning, I'm just mucking along.
muck. muck. muck...
LOL!
Dave - my Bright Eyes phlox look wonderful! They are standing tall and you'd never know they weren't there for years!
I, too, love ALL of the plants you kind friends gave me at the RU! I think I'm just about "full up" in my gardens.....there's not room for much more!!! (Yeah, right.....!) LOL
Gee thats to bad Louise...I need to thin some more of mine out. LOL
Finally got my hair cut...I feel normal again. It was long and the high light was waaaayyyyy to much! Cut almost all of it out and I feel and look more like me.
Jeez, Celeste.......looked pretty darn good to me at the RU!
Your sweet.....i'm a brunette!! LOL
