A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall CoffeeHouse 2274---let's talk somemore

There we go...

The sun is shining again and the snow is still melting, we only have about 6 inches left now.

gee I dont know if I should be happy or sad for you about that.

Ah you can be happy, we won't get much cold now. February is the 'pipe freezing month'...now it's just a wait til spring thing.

well I have already planted potatoes on st. Patrick's day in my shorts. but I dont think that will happen this year.

I think all I am going to plant this year is sunflowers, tomatoes, & just perhaps some potatoes.
hey, perhaps I could have DH make me a tall container so I could cover them up, let them poke thru & cover them again like I have heard can be done????

I've grown potatoes right in the soil bag itself when I used to teach Brownies....

ah now that sounds like fun!!!!

You could grow them in a five gallon bucket also.

well yes, but I was wanting to have more dirt than that. besides, Rod got rid of all but 1 of my 5 gallon buckets. well we have 2, but I have some soil from the farm in one, so he could not throw it away.

I was just thinking it would give me more garden space this year if I tried doing something like that.

Check out your facebook page..

yes'um,-- going there now-----

I'd love to be able to make a little mini greenhouse so I could grow tomatoes and peppers and see what it's like to have them ripen on the vine...

I love that guy and his video--thanks much for finding it for me.

Yup, can't get much more explanatory than that.

Now if Rod asks~it wasn't my fault

well any small building would do, my dad is currentky using a little building we used as a play house when small.
i was wondering if yo ucould put a few windows-(use the old ones form when you change out the ones in the house) in a corner of the barn & corden it off & use it??? unless there is not a space that could be given up to you???

and you could always put a big pot by a window in the house & grow 'maters in it???

This have been grand fun, and very informative, but I must go for now--the dish fairy did not come as yet, so I have to go do my dishes. I'll see ya later, g'bye for now/

Byes...

I see Merme.. I was asking about you, I worry so.

I found a link to Juniegirl's photobucket albums

Carol, I love your house and your yard and your froggies and all your gardening gifts and your daughter looks just like you and I love the pics from your vacation and...and...and....

I hope you don't mind~it was open to all public viewing....and I want that hairstyle from pic #10 also. I LOVE your pics, all of them.

Of course I do not mind that you were looking at my Photobucket--but may I ask "how" ????

and Bless you for all the compliments.

about my DD, are you referring to the darker haired one??? That is Valarie.
and yes I think she does look like me too.

Sad to say that for many years, (even after I was married & had kids) I had the other DD's body shape. and here is where I ask--"what the heck happened" ??

about picture # 10 That is my favorite as well. I want to buy it too one day--if I ever have the extra money that is. It was/is very inexpensive, in the big scheme or wigs.

Age gets us every time, Carol. There was a time I thought I would never gain weight. Partly because I ate anything and everything without. Boy, was I naive.
I never napped today so I am heading out early. I'm whooped. Good night all.

yes Tina, I know. I ate what I wanted & when. People would say oh you dont want to do that, but hey I did want to, & it didnt hurt me so why not I thought. well, in the big scheme of genetics of my famuily, I should have known what would happen to me--oh well. at least at one time I was a nice looking piece of work, HUH???

Good night Tina, sleep well & I wish you sweet dreams.

1.I will not reveal my secrets... ...

2.Your welcome

3.Yup, Valarie...you are identical.

4.Blame it on having kids..I do

5. I think I'm gonna get that haircut

Well Good morning all

Morning all
Just a note to say hello... got one eye done and can mostly see- doing without glasses for the other side is the big problem now-- did pop the lense out but the difference is getting to me- so now tv is my best friend -- though inbetween drops in my eyes I can do my fb games--- I can make them big enougth to see... LOL!
well just time for more drops so going to go listen to tv and rest my eye again- sure will be glad when it quits feeling like I have a eyelash in there... everyday it is better though... Joe has been so good- he is doing everything- .... he has taken 3 weeks off to help out while I am doing all this...
Well back later
Nana

Sherri sounds like you are doing well, thank goodness.
and sounds as if Joe is being a BIG help, Bless him. It makes all the difference you know??
Rest well.

I need to go again. Time to jump in the shower.
My cousin & I are going to visit my Niece & her new baby this afternoon.

I have been but my cousin has not. and seeing a baby can't be bad so I am going again. :wink:

Good morning. I slept in today. It has been a very busy week.

Had a very long, long, long day....

I have been a slug all day. I did do the dishes but that is about as far as I have gotten.

Well, I did get the baseboards and trim finished(painted) in 3 rooms today but had no more energy to finish them...there's always tomorrow.

well Tamara you did more than I did today, I would be proud. Painting is a great accomplishment.


Tina you are usually a very busy woman. I think you are allowed a day off every once in awhile. :)

Ya but you got to play with a baby

I did not want to take a day off. I wanted to get some energy and get some work done outside. I barely got out into the warmth and sunshine at all today.

well actually I played with Bridget the "big sister" who is 18 months old. Since I got to hold the baby last week I let Marcia have the honors today, while I played with Bridget.

But yes I DID have fun

And Tina, perhaps todays rest is wha your body needed, and tomorrow you will feel all new & ready to attack the outdoor work. I believe we should all listen to our bodies when they "talk".

Amen to that!

Oh my I was not thinking properly--- yes, ideed we should.

Diane, I am so glad that you listened to yours and that Dwight was home to take you to the hospital. I am also so glad that things are working out so well with the Prescriptions for you.

and OH!! I have never smoked, but I know many people who have. not smoking is a very hard thing, and I am SOOO very proud of you for doing this.

Good night. I am going to listen to my body and put it to bed early. I do hope tomorrow is a better day for me and for everybody.

Good morning, the sun is shining and today is a brand new day.

I was discouraged yesterday but today I feel better, DH told me to look into what it would take for us to build a little greenhouse. Something cheap but efficient.

A greenhouse up there would be nice, Tamara. Your growing season is so short.
I have outdoor working plans for my day.
