Only a gardener would - ask for manure for Mother's Day (I do every year!) - carry a small shovel and plastic garbage bags in the trunk in case someone offers to share a plant from their yard. - have to bite the inside of...

Yes, I think I will wait until spring to give them the best chance. Thank you so very much, you two, for the help and encouragement. I guess I am just going to have to hold my breath and jump! Happy gardening!

Thank you, Thistlebloom, you should see them in the spring when they have lots of new leaves and I have dusted them (which I just noticed from the pics, they need badly! :/ ). I am just worried because they are special to me. Have you ever separated these, yourself?

I love corn, but I can't grow it! If I get a chance to buy home grown corn, Trucker's Favorite is a good one. It's white and makes the BEST fried corn ever!

Oooohhh, lots of pics, please!

I probably didn't explain it very well. Here are the pics. The first is the narrower leafed one it is about three feet across and just a bit shorter than that. I put a quart jar in front of it for scale. Here is the larger one with the same jar. It actually has four individual stalks and...

There are 4 or 5 individual stalks in the larger leafed one. I am tempted to put each in a pot of it's own. I am not sure if it would look too sparse with just one but I am sure I need several of the smaller leafed ones to fill a pot. What do you think? The leaves are about a foot wide and...

Thanks Lesa, I can always count on you! That's what I need, first hand experience. In what way were the two ugly? Did they act like they wanted to die, or just not so full as to be as pretty? Anyone else have similar or different experiences?

That's awesome! Please share your method, do you have grow lights? Greenhouse? What flowering annuals work best?

The pecans do indeed rise to the top as the pie is baking. I use the recipe on the Kayro Suryp bottle and chopped pecans. It's not as pretty, but tastes great! Maybe you just need to use a deeper crust and double the recipe?

I have two beautiful spathiphyllum plants that were sent to me upon my Mother's funeral in Feburary of 2008. One is the large leaf type and the other is the shorter, narrower, more common variety. I think I need to repot them. I know that they like to be pot bound but both are using much more...

Years (and I do mean YEARS) ago, I was lamenting over things I wished I had done differently. It was during that time that I got into the internet. I came up with wisher as a user name on AOL and of course, it was taken. The 1000 was added to make it unique from the other one already in use...

When I was little, my grandmother called the fruit of the Passion Flower vine a "PawPaw." I have never seen (that I know of) or tasted a Paw Paw from a tree. I am sorry I can't help you.

There's only one thing to do..... slice, egg, milk, salt, pepper, cornmeal and fry!!! It would be a crying shame not to have a big plate of fried green tomatoes.

A green thumb? :D

Any similarity to actual persons, living, deceased or participating in this forum, no matter how accurate, is purely incidental - really...... If some of ya'll never been down South too much... I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that you'll understand What I'm talking about...

Okay, the southern girl wants to put in her two cents worth. I grew up eating polk salad (which is NOT a salad) "fixed" by my aunt (Mom was scared of it) with the cooked young greens and scrambled eggs mixed in. It is very much like turnip greens or collards, only not as good, sorta' bitter...

Maybe you will try what I do. Cover that area inside the frames with newspaper (wet it as you go so it won't blow away) 5 or 6 layers deep. Add a thick (3") layer of compost, another thick layer of browns, a thin layer of chopped produce, a thin layer of grass clippings, and another thick...

Mary, I put feathers in my compost all the time, don't have the time to pick them out! Now, Boggy will tell you that they have to be cut in half first, but I skip that part...

Where I live, that would cause all the schools to close and all the grocery stores to run out of milk and bread! LOL! We love snow here, because we only get one every few years. Last year, we got a quarter inch of accumulated sleet, does that count? ;)
