Coffee Break #11 - Moms rule!

Bill, your image of yourself gave me a chuckle. Louise, I can't imagine you not looking wonderful even on your worst days. I could care less if you had dirty fingernails!

yeah for your hummer Jan!!

Thanks. Just planted out the angelonia and petunia from 4/4 I had to wait to figure out where to plant them.

I have drank Mich Lite for 20 years. My Motto - I work for beer but only Mich Lite!

Good for you, Schickenlady! Just grabbing a cup of joe. Busy day unpacking hugh plant deliveries and potting things up.

hope you like them Jan!

Thank you and thank you. Storm that blue fecus grass is almost gone, moved or what ever you do with stuff. That blue fecus is going, going, going.

I was and still am stupid trying to grow flowers.

I discovered angelonia last year and just love it. Got some purple this year, too.

Does angelonia have tattoos and over-sized lips? How about pitts?

^_^

Yes, Schickenlady, flowers do grow on you! I tried growing an ornamental grass, but it just looked like weeds in my bed. Although I have a pretty little Carex, I think it's called Island Brocade.

. It's too durn hot outside. Am going to wait for it to cool down a little before continuing.

Jan, I'm not familiar with it.

That's a good one, Victor!

I think it is also called 'summer snapdragon'. I've only seen purple or white, but any flower that doesn't need to be deadheaded is a good thing in my book. It grows upright about 12" or so. The flowers are on a stalk like a snapdragon, but the flowers are smaller. They look good in pots.

Thanks, Jan. Is it full sun?

Schickenlady, I'm taking a tip from you and enjoying a brewski. Down here we drink the nation's oldest beer, Yuengling, made in Pa.

Actually DSO inspired me. He dropped by for a visit at 11 and has been "Fixing" things ever since, being kept hydrated by brews.

Try Blue Fecus... It will kick ya

Heehee Victor!!

I got a kick out of that!

Yuengling, one of hubby's fav....I used to like Rolling Rock till Bud bought them out.

yes full sun... but mine are in part shade and do just fine

these are some from the cuttings I did

Never tried Yuengling. I am drinking Long Trail as I type. Found it on a trip to VT eight years ago. Finally found a local source but it tastes much more bitter now. Weird.

Randy likes it too

Thanks for putting up a pic, Allison. Mine get some full sun, but mostly part shade.

My dad liked Sam Adams.

Sam Adams is pretty good. Jen, Haven't had a RR in 30 years. Didn't like it much then. Victor, you need to try a Yuengling. Most NYC places have it.

Every now and then Yeungling makes a batch that's a little off, but it is now very popular in the US. It was always pretty inexpensive too, until it became, THE brew of choice. Down here if you order "lager", it's what you get.

Long Trail might be being bottled locally and the water could alter the taste.

I like Jax too.

Nice flowers, Onewish. I have so few really sunny spots.

Awwww, Harper, what a sweet thing to say! Thank you.

Sherrie - anyone who could be cleaned out by a good buyer is not very stupid at growing flowers!!! You go, Girl!!! LOL

not a fan of ying ling - or however the spell it - when in doubt sam is best - unless I brew my own

Wha, Can I interest you in some hops vines????

what is the hop?

O I hurt. Planted out the greenhouse and orders for 8 hours (WITH NO NAP :O) and moved a bunch of stuff too. I balked at rock and container moving. Wha where were you when I needed you ??????

I'm in. I have hops ^_^

Wha, I have no idea. I kept finding and pulling them out of my beds all spring. Thought I'd gotten them all, but now I'm finding larger ones coiled around the perennials.

i was just curious for brewing purposes - i think i will pass though - thx

This is unreal.

Sigh...
people!

wow - i could get a whole lotta years in the slammer for slugicide.

I'm pleading the 5th!

I skipped a lot of posts but I'm back!

Welcome back, Carrie.

Stormyla, my mom grew up in Pottsville, Pa. just a few houses down from the Yuengling family home. She said they invited her into their mansion every halloween to do a song and dance. I heard that the beer used to be a lot better until 5 or 10 years ago. Used to be, they used mountain spring water, but the city (or state) made them switch to city water and now it's not so good.

Could be Sofonisba. I like it a lot. Many folks have been drinking it for years. What is spring water not good for public consumption? Is the Government now ruining beer?? Is nothing safe?? Spring water was always Rolling Rock's claim to fame.
