Oh, I love to play golf! The last time we got to, we were celebrating our anniversary (the company DH was working for at the time had golfing priviledges at several courses). We only played 9 holes then went and got new tattoo's.....lol Congrats on getting to go for free - I just hope we don't...

My mom collected rain water every chance she had. I can still hear her calling me to help haul out the buckets to catch the water. For her it wasn't about saving on the water bill, it was about the rain water being SOOO much better for the plants. I don't think she ever even gave the shingles a...

Nice find! The ones I bought in the spring were $10 each from Wallyworld! And all 3 croaked :/ I wish we had a Home Depot closer so I could go check out their clearanced stuff but perhaps it's good we don't - we are already broke enough without me spending money we don't have....lol

Joe, my door is always open for you and Eby too! THAT would be a fun day too, if you and Eby can as well as Beth :D

Ohhhhhh, OK I see where you're at now. You're more SE than straight east (I was thinking off I20). Hey, you're not THAT far from me! Maybe one day ya'll can plan a weekend get-away....come up here, camp out, BBQ, you and I can act like silly schoolgirls and go giggling over all the garden stuff...

For those of us getting some of these seeds, here's a site I found that tells one way to propagate them (I love Google!) http://www.wildflower.org/expert/show.php?id=1823

SO where in east Tx are you that you're looking at Houston temps? It would be cool if you were only a few hours drive from me! In Texas, that's practically next door! :lol:

No, wishing I had known so you could include them with the stevia (which has arrived but I haven't had a chance to plant) and save the stamp.... I would like to try some seeds. I still need to think on what I can send you as a "housewarming" gift.....

:th You just HAD to put it in words......lol

I'm afraid a pothos would freeze to death here....I know the English ivy stuff does ok tho I have heard it's pretty invasive. But I say give the pothos a try - worst it could do is croak and ivy's are pretty easy to replace and you will have learned something new. If it survives then you have a...

If nothing else it is an interesting-looking plant. Kind of reminds me of a kohl rabi. Until this year I had never tasted a kohl rabi, now I'm trying to grow some. So perhaps next year I will try the fennel as a landscape thing and if it tastes good, well that's even better ;)

The ones I have growing are tart-sweet. Pretty small with only 1 big seed inside. The skin doesn't seem to be much different from a commercial grape. Folks in these parts make jams and wine with muscadines....

Dang, I wish I had known you were going to offer these. Suprisingly we don't have any redbuds growing here. Our main tree is the hackberry and mesquite :/

When ya'll are making your own soil, what do you do with the earthworms that have moved up into your compost? My compost area is a square area about 4x4 where I take the goat's hay droppings, stuff that I muck out of the chicken coop plus where I dump the barrel that gets all our kitchen scraps...

WOW, what cool finds! I don't think we even have a place like that around here....

:yuckyuck I agree, Joe tho my chill level is about 40-45. I could not imagine living where it gets into the teens (and lower) then STAYS THERE..... :th

Was sitting here thinking about plants that are NOT frost hardy no matter how much mulch is used and made me think of your jacaranda. How're them cuttings doing?

OHHHHHHHHHH! THAT tomato! :th

OK fine. I will sell ALL our animals, pack up the whole horde of critters....er....FAMILY and we'll just stay with you and Eby until our current place sells then we'll by the Chinese people's house right next to yours.... I can see it now - cook-outs, lots of recycled glass thingy's.....OK...

Either way, that plant ROCKS! :drool I can't wait to see it bloom. The foliage looks very lush and healthy.....
