Great advice AuintB! AnjL take it easy and have a good recovery : ) {{{{{Hugs}}}}}} for you and your fur baby ^_^
Hey check the forum woodsprit1 is sending MM for postage!
Oh Boy, I wish I had the room for more. Not now,maybe next spring. I have to make room in the shed for the plants I have. Would it be better to cut them down, and start over next year. I have some that are now 6 foot, and so bushy, just no blooms! They are all in pots.
This is my row of brugs. All 12 of them! the ones at the far end are at least 6 foot tall.

Kim, I'm NOT checking... (do'in SO good today, haven't even LOOKED in Plant Trading) But Mountain Magic is a beauty! Go Hotties! Donna, I missed your little post up there! Yay!!! Aidan time!! (long overdue) LK, Your broogs look great! Come on, get a Mountain Magic! Just a lil-o cutting... Hi James!
Hi AuntB I just bought a 30lb bag of sweet potatoes for $6 wow what a buy but I forget how to bake them anyone know what temperature and how long I should bake them for?
Yummy I bake them at 350 til they are soft..I use a towel to press so I don't burn my fingers!
Yeah AuntB just 1 tee hee : )
James, there are several ways to bake them. I wrap them in foil, with a dab of butter. Depending on the size of them, I bake them at 350, for about an hour +/-. After about 30 - 40 minutes, take a hot pad, and give them gentle squeeze. If they are tender they are done. Season to taste, and enjoy.

Wow thanks so much I forgot how to bake them and how long now I can enjoy them they are so good.
Guess what I made today? tee hee! My world famous (family famous anyways..) Sweet potato pie. To die for....
3 cups hot mashed sweet potatoes
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
2 TBS. butter
1 t. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 unbaked deep dish pie shells
Mix all together in a large bowl and pour into pie shells. Bake a *350 for 1 hour or until firm when shaken gently.
Karen that sounds so good, but Thanksgiving is a month away!!! LOL
I have not made pies in such a ling time. I usually buy mine, but homemade is so much better. Mind if I steal the recipe? Hubby will love that one.
Ladies, have a great week-end.

Linda Kay did you try Walmart? They carry the Super Thrive in the garden dept. but may be out this time of year. They also carry tea tree oil in the pharmacy, with antiseptics or vitamins.
Lowe's carries the super thrive also and most all pharmacys have the TT oil
Linda Kay if you think you need to wait until Thanksgiving to eat sweet tater pie, well, I don't know what to say, ROTF! My daughters start begging for it in early October, and we eat it all fall through Christmas. A little whip cream does it right too! My grandmammy lives to be in her 90's and ate a baked sweet potato every day of her life I guess...
I will look for the tree tea oil, but I have looked for the superthrive, and ask several time. It might be on the truck for the next delivery. Does the tree tea oil, come in a bottle, small/large??? So I know what to look for?
There are several nurseries in San Antonio, so I will go look there.
LK
Linda Kay I thought AuntB or Clem said somewhere on one of the other threads..that they use Viatimn B1 instead of Super Thrive
Not sure..we'll have to wait to see what they say...
Guess You don't want ME going back through them ALL...teeheehee
Yummmmm I am going to make one of those pies on Sunday as tomorrow I will be going to the RU.
Phyllis that's what Super Thrive is, in essence liquid vitamin B1. Theoretically, you could buy vitamin B1 tablets I guess but I would have no guesstimate as to the ratio....
Have fun at the RU James! And do try that pie, you will love it! Makes the house smell heavenly.
Oh I will can not wait to try to make this one that is for sure I sure do have enough sweet potatoes to make many pies.
Yum sweet potatoes. I add them to soup and stir fries too. Just cut them thin and add last to keep the shape. Yummy sweet potatoes baked and then cut open with butter and cinnamon sugar!
I got a package today!!!!!! Hotties!!!! Whoever did that is so very sweet. Well heck you ALL are sweet but really, I got a Lemon tree in the mail today!!!! It is a buddha's hand lemon and it looks great! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Hugs and smoochies! Here is my new baby! I am soooo excited about it!!
Mmm mmmm i'm with your grammy Karen I can that pie everyday :P Great recipe!!
Ok the crammin' has begun.....
Still gotta dig stuff up gingers, EE's and so on ....... : ) No more today tho!
Hi hotties, long day shopping and all! Bought two shelves for my jungle and now we are trying to set it up. KIM your jungle looks like it is on Brazil, lol, the amazon, mine will be like that soon.
Will try to catch up later girls, cooking dinner for Mr. D.
Love to all, Silly Clem
HI ALL!! I'm still 'here'---you all ain't got nothin'better to do?? GAB, GAB, GAB---LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
The 'only' thing that my brain retained was someone (B?) was asking about the bulbs for plants. Plant bulbs are more expensive --- BUY the bulb with the highest LUMENS. I remember that from about 10 yrs ago and that's all I use is the highest lumens (3200 lumens +/-).
Gotta go---time to go home and go camping!!! later, Jan
The Hotties are fairies too!! Karen Buddha's Hand is KQQL!!!
HI JanLynn!!!! long time no chat : ) have fun camping!!!!!
Hi to all the H and H’s
You have been busy, it took me a long time to read all and catch up. I’m already loving the DSL.
Kim that is a great jungle, what is the plant in the first pix, center of the top shelf in the orange pot.
Louise that Lemon tree is fantastic, so happy someone was so nice to send it to you.
Linda Kay, I’m pretty sure it is one tablet to a gallon of water on the vitamin B1. I’ll take a pix of the Tea tree oil and post as soon as my batteries are charged for the camera.
Beck, Peg and James have a great time at your RU’s
Karen, I’m coping the receipt for the pie it looks great, thanks for posting.
Anjl, so happy you are home and doing okay, sorry to hear about the pain try and sleep as much as you can.
Bonnie, I found the Unsulphured Molasses in the regular supermarket. The brand name is “Grandma’s” It say all natural and I have been using it in the receipt all summer. It is a 12 oz jar and not to pricy
Lu, glad to see you posting today, yes we were worried, we’re H & H's and that is what we do.
Dana, I know what you mean, I was beginning think I was the only plant addict in the world until I found DG.
Posting this now so there are not 100 post since I started typing. Hope I never get this far behind again.
Hi Donna!! That is a super dwarf cavendish nanner..maybe in a year or 2 I just might get some! Clemen whatcha fixin' for dinner???
Donna I am well far behind not you, hee hee, and I see JanLynn is back, about time girl!
Thanks Kim,. All the plants look so wonderful but that one really caught my eye, and surprise it’s a banana. I guess I just love nanas.
Well they look nice now but in a few months they will be crying to be let back outdoors..poor things lol!!
Kim, your plant room looks like mine! lol
