Insomnia Thread...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, they were yummy, Cam. :goteam:


No one bakes like my mom. Lucky for me too, she only lives next door! :ha:


: )

[drew leonard]

Sherry,

That bad boy is happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drew

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Do you mean my tomato plant, Drew?


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

I would say judging from the points and the position of the bloom that it is the Schlumbergera truncata Thanksgiving Cactus. I'm just going by the information in that link though. Mine is actually a Thanksgiving cactus also. ~J

[Willow87]

Wow Sherry that's convenient lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It is convenient Cam...especially at dinnertime! :ha:



Well damn it Janan, they lied to me! :eek:



I suppose it doesn't matter much because I love it so, but why do they tell people things that aren't true? For four years now I've been believing and telling people it's a Christmas cactus. Shared cuttings and everything.


I sometines don't always get email notification everytime someone posts in this thread. Weird, eh? That happen to you guys? Not all the time for me, but just sometimes. Janan's post didn't come though, but Cam's did. Weird.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

You know sometimes I miss many comments on threads I'm subscribed to, then I will read a recent post and think how did I miss all these. I don't know why. It's probably something on my end rejecting them or something.

Did you see the statement right under the "Thanksgiving" title?
Thanksgiving Cacti
The plants most often sold in Canada as "Christmas Cacti" (by which name they sell best) are Schlumbergera truncata cultivars.

Is your specialty nursery there or did you get it online out of country? If you do a lot of business with them and you want to, you could mention it to them. The guy that published that article is a member of the Epiphytic Plant Study Group (epiphytes.co.uk (http://epiphytes.co.uk)) in England. ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It's not really a nursery I frequent, but it's right here in London and I told them I wanted a true Christmas cactus. They assured me it was.


I really think you and Alex are right though and I'm kind of pissed about it! Not that you guys are right :ha: but that they misled me.


Boy, they'll say anything for a buck. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif


I really just wanted a snow white one and they were the only nursery that sold them. I do love it, so I won't be too disappointed but I just like to know what I am growing.


I can even throw a couple cuttings in for you too Howard, when I send the Beautyberry cuttings later...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

You're right! It's all about the money. They may truly not know the difference. If they did though, that is pretty bad.

I just went to look if my tags were still on mine, and they are - It just says Zygo Cactus Wrap Mylar. Which is pretty generic I guess. But the zygomorphic would be referring to the asymmetrical flowers of the Thanksgiving Cactus? ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sorry about that Janan...I was just starting a new thread. ;)


I think most of them honestly and truly don't know what they are selling and I've even educated a few of them on things they didn't know about the plants they had.


One nursery didn't even know that they needed to sell female Holly shrubs with their males in order for people to get berries! :eek:


I bet there were a whole lot of disappointed people that Spring with no Hollyberries on their female shrubs!


Some of them too, don't even know what they're selling and you ask if they have something and they tell you they have none at all, but when you go, there's a whole section designated just for that plant! :ha:


It's to the point now that I don't even ask because most of them are uneducated donkey's! :ha::ha:


I gotta catch some Zzzzzz's soon....

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia145-1.gif Y'all!


It's a cool & crisp November morning here and we're covered in thick frost. :coldbanana:




Hope everyone's has a great Wednesday. Here's some funnies...




http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia177.jpg


Received this one last night and thought it was ridiculously comical...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia178.jpg

:ha::ha::ha:



: )

[PennyG]

Its gorgeous, even in the fall!!:08:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Penny! I'm sure loving it. :waving:


How are the rooted cuttings I sent you, doing?


: )

[PennyG]

They are doing great, I'll take a pic later and post it for you.

I lost a couple of the smaller pieces, but other then that....so far so good :08:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Wow...I'm so happy to hear that, Pen! :08:



Remember the roots are what's important and with them being inside, you're pretty much guaranteed success!



It's getting cold in Ontario, eh Pen? I'm not looking forward to snow. :(



Here's another cartoon funny, because everyone needs a laugh...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia179.jpg

:ha::ha::ha:



Too ridiculous! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif


: )

[drew leonard]

Yes Sherry,

The tomatoes looked wonderful in the picture. To have them fresh so late in the year is awesome!

A few years ago we had fresh tomatoes from my garden for Thaksgiving.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/autumn4.gif



Thanks Drew. I'm pretty thrilled about them too.



Just busy posting some information in another thread, but I'll get back to your pm momentarily...



So how's everyone's day going, anyway? :waving:



: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Well Drew yes, I agree that there are a lot of donkeys :ha: working at nurseries that really don't know diddly squat about nothing! ;)


In all fairness though, some are quite knowledgeable. ;)


Thanks for your pm..


This summer I was told by some guy at a nursery that geraniums only bloom in Springtime! :eek:


I said "really"? and acted like I had no idea! :ha:


I was just floored at the "information" they were giving to poor unsuspecting victims. I think they should have to take a course or something but they're likely only getting minimum wage and their knowledge is just general. I just do my own research so I know what I'm getting.


So many plants are mislabelled too, which can confuse things even more.


Plus too, some of the prices at nurseries are outrageous! :eek: To spend the kind of money they ask for and to not even know what you're getting is even more outrageous! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif


That's why I love to grow from seed...and plus there's more selection & variety with seeds, as opposed to nursery plants. :)


What do you guys think? Drew, any nursery horror stories to tell? :ha:


: )

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry and everyone,
I looked and 3 more loquats sprouted, so I have 9 total. I forgot I left my Thanksgiving cactus outside and it received a lot of rain so it looks better. When it dries up a little I'm going to repot my Little Prince banana because 2 of them are crowding each other and both have a couple of pups under them, but the pups arent receiving enough light.

[Willow87]

Here is a picture of the basjoo. I lost one pup and I dont know why it died. It was barely above the soil and it just died. Luckily it has a new leaf growing

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=38118&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38118)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks for the shot, Cam. That's likely why your pup died...not enough light.



Here's some of the brownies my mom made...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSCI3992.jpg


She makes the brownies and the frosting with real coacoa! They are just to die for...and those are walnuts on top! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif




http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia180.jpg


:ha::ha::ha:


Hope you guys are having a great night! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/avatar_1303.gif


: )

[Willow87]

Wow Sherry those look good.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

They really are yummy, Cam. Thanks.


Guess you couldn't get a shot of your Christmas cactus?


Drew, what the heck happened to ya? Thought you wanted to chat about unhelpful "help" at the nurseries...


Janan, you around? :waving:


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yep I'm here. Why don't you go up to the Chat room? If you have a fairly decent internet connection you can type in real time there. I'll join you there if you want to chat! ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I have excellent wireless internet connection, but I never use the live chatroom. :(


Once in awhile when you feel like it though Janan, please feel free to chat here too...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia181.jpg

Too funny! :ha:




My mom gets free internet from my wireless highspeed connection. We both have laptop computers. :08:


I was debating whether I should plant some more seeds tonight or not. Thanks to Bob though, I have so many things growing here already! :ha:



Pop in and say "hi" if you're around...



Phone's ringing. Brb...


: )

[Willow87]

Hey Sherry I just finished looking at this nursery website that had these different passion flowers. I'm going to try and get a few next year. I think only one maypop survived. It has a little growth on it so I'm at least happy that one survived at the moment. I ate another prickly pear and I'm saving the seeds for you. They contain too many seeds for me to really enjoy it LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks, Cam! Nice of you. ;)


I can send ya a few seeds for "Caerulea", "Taxo", and "Incense". Sound good?






Ready for a laugh, you guys?...




http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia182.jpg

:ha::ha::ha:




http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif

[Willow87]

Thanks I would love to grow those. The prickly pears have several seeds in one fruit and I still have 3 more fruits lol. I;m cleaning them off and letting them dry first. I'll try to eat at least 2 more tomorrow LOL. Then I'll let you know when I can send them.

Cam

[The Hollyberry Lady]

No worries, just whenever you get around to it. The growing season's done here now anyway...at least the outdoor growing season is. :ha:



Rae, you around? Stop in and say 'hi' if you are...



So I decided to transplant some succulents tonight and gonna post a bit more info in my new "Face your Mistakes" thread...


I'll be around still though. :lurk:


: )

[Willow87]

LOL thats true Sherry. Even my banana plants are still growing well indoors. I have the passionflower seeds in my room under a floor lamp. It looks like a greenhouse in my room LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I know the feeling, Cam. :ha:



This is how my living room looks most of the time...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/072.jpg



Actually, currently, it's even more crowded than that! :eek: That pic was taken last year but I know what you mean by "greenhouse".


In my bedroom I have an HID light system in one corner of the room, so it can be greenhouse-ish in there as well...


When does the plant insanity end?! :ha:


: )

[Willow87]

Wow Sherry, your plants are gorgeous!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Anyone still up?



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny161.jpg



:ha::ha::ha:


: )

[saltydad]

Hi all, still up myself tonight nursing an aching back after digging the nanaers up.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hope you feel better soon, Howard. :(


What's your weather like there?


We're cool tonight at 4°C...39°F. Think we're getting the white stuff very soon...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia189.gif


I'm not ready to stop outdoor gardening yet and wish it could continue. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia190.jpg


:eek:

[saltydad]

It's been down to low-mid 30's at night and 50's in day. Hope this ends soon with a bit of warmer weather. We're also supposed to have rain in the few days; great....after I dig out my naners!
Off to try and sleep....thank G-d for muscle relaxants.

[drew leonard]

I was just exhausted from all the gardening I have been up to since Saturday.

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry and everyone,

My internet was down all day so I couldnt post anything. I separated my Little Prince bananas and the corm was huge. I cut right through it and one plant has 2 pups and the other has one pup sprouting. Hopefully they will recover.

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=38145&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38145)
http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=38144&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38144)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I think your pups look great, Cam! Just make sure they get lots of light. ;)


No problem Drew, I figured you got busy.


: )

[Willow87]

I saw the pups and they were shaded by the adult plants, so that's why I decided to separate the plant. I just cut the corm in half. It was nearly the size of a football which I found strange because its just a small banana plant lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hope it works out for ya, Cam. ;) Thanks for sharing your shots.

Be back in a bit...


: )





Wouldn't this make a great poster?....



Look Boys & Girls...Here's what happens when you take drugs...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny178.jpg

Here's someone who takes multi-tasking, very seriously...

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/clap.gif






Chat soon...


:waving:

[Willow87]

Thanks Sherry. Those are hilarious LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia150.gif





It's a cool crisp Autumn morning here in London today...http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/autumn1.gif





Going for a bikeride in a bit...





Yeah Cam, those are just hysterical. Glad you appreciated them also. :goteam:





This picture illustrates the reason why people should avoid using crack, at all costs...





http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia189-1.jpg

:eek:






I think in this one, the word "BUTTER" is meant to be abbreviated, but could you imagine ordering this flavor? :ha:






http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funnya.jpg

: o




Hope everybody's having a fabulous Friday! :waving:


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I got your pm, Cam...but I've just been busy today, on & off...


Easier for me to chat in this thread, than in pm's, especially if it's just casual chat. Do you know how many pm's I get from week to week?! :eek: It's crazy.



Just leave me alone, damn it!!! :ha::ha::ha:



Teasing of course, but let's chat here as often as we can. Glad you like the funnies, which you mentioned and also yeah, no worries about the seeds...we'll exchange at the end of November or beginning of December.


Not like I don't have enough seeds already. My mom jokes that there's more seeds in my fridge than food! :ha: And that's saying something too, because my fridge is always well stocked.


So what's everyone up to tonight anyway? :waving:


: )

[Bob]

I thought this was an insomnia thread and it goes on all day long? Do you ever sleep or just type this from inside a coffin lined with your native soil HBL?:ha::ha::ha:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sure you're not just jealous, Bob? http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif



: )

[Jack Daw]

I thought this was an insomnia thread and it goes on all day long? Do you ever sleep or just type this from inside a coffin lined with your native soil HBL?:ha::ha::ha:
No, she taught her plants to type and post replies, so when she's out, her plants post 24/7. :ha:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

You think you're joking Jack, but some of my plants actually do look like they could type if they wanted to! :ha:





Anyone for an Ice Scream?




http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funnyb.gif

:ha::ha::ha:




We're getting snow tomorrow! :eek:

Oh joy, oh bliss! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif




: )

[ShearMe]

personally, I'm enjoying the cooler weather :D

[Jack Daw]

We're getting snow tomorrow! :eek:


Well, at least you'll spend more time getting warm with your b/f and less time taking care of the outside patio. ;) :ha:
Oh joy, oh bliss!!! :bananas_b

[Willow87]

I'm enjoying the cooler weather too Zac. We are under a freeze warning here, but I dont think it will get that cold. I covered my plants just in case

[drew leonard]

End of the growing season is a hard road to hoe when you are a tropical gardener in a temperate climate.

It took almost a week but the job is through.Everything is inside even those 4- 200+ lb. banana trees that were 12''-13'' in diameter at the base. . . They were a bit%h.

I'll be glad to get a greenhouse. Hope everybody has a great weekend.

Like your comment Jack Daw... wish I could teach my plants to type!

HAPPY GARDENING!

LATER!

[ShearMe]

It was 4 degrees Celsius this morning, and though I can't speak for the plants in my yard, I loved it.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, snow and cold weather sure puts me in the mood for cuddling with my boyfriend http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo4-1.gif...he'll be here later. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo9.gif



Right now we're sitting at 1°C...32°F, but we'll be dropping even lower as the night wears on. :eek:



How's everyone's Friday going so far?



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/aa59.jpg



I just finished some salad with pumpkin seeds, whole cranberries, and feta cheese in it, a little while ago. Mmmmmmm, it was so good. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif



Zac, did you see that pup on my plant you gave me? Totally cool, eh? http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/aa6.gif I hope that thing flowers for me next year! It's one amazing plant. I think you commented in the thread but I'll check later...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/winter19.jpg



Hope you guys are having a good night...


: )

[ShearMe]

I'm NOT having a good night... Computer Science labs are extremely difficult when then resources your professor and TAs give you don't work. >:|

Your salad sounds scrumb-didly-umptious, can't say I ate as healthily. :p

Oh, yes i did see it and comment! :D

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sucks you had a crappy night, Zac...but glad you saw my pup! I'm pretty excited about having two of them now! :08:


So what are your plans this weekend? I'm just chillin' at home mostly, I think.


: )

[ShearMe]

Well, I gotta try and figure out this program for starters, haha, then some other homework, but nothing too serious. I might tear into my truck some more and try to fix a fuse box issue to fix my radio.:drum:

Plant-wise, I might piece together a cage to fill with leaves later when the trees in the front yard go dormant. I'm planning on using all my banana leaves for a huge cookout when the time comes; our first experiment with wrapped fish was THE best cooked fish I ever had.

Basically, chillin' at home, just the same. :ha:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Mmmmm, that's sounds so good Zac! I haven't tried using my banana leaves in cooking yet but likely will next year.


I have tons of plants to shower tomorrow morning...likely take me an hour or so. Gotta run a few errands tomorrow too but nothing serious.


I just hope if we do get snow, it's just flurries, and they're not here to stay quite yet. I hate snow too because it puts an end to my cycling. :(


Here's why I no longer ride the city bus...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny22-3.gif

:ha::ha::ha:




I heard it might not be too bad of a winter, but they've "predicted" that before and it was baloney. Guess we'll see soon enough...


: )

[ShearMe]

Ahhahahahah! I've seen somethings in/on public transportation, but this takes the cake! The look on their faces is just... i don't even... :D

How does snow end your cycling, you don't have all-terrain tires?

Weather predictions should only be listened to if you're also crazy enough to visit a psychic, because they two are equally composed of non-sense. "You'll just get a drizzle tonight" can mean a tornado is on the way, and "Lite showers for the rest of the week" has meant a constant, week-long downpour of lions and bears.

We can sometimes go through all four seasons in a single day down here. :D

[The Hollyberry Lady]

LoL, Zac! ;)


Nope, you'll never catch me riding in the snow...no matter what tires they try to sell me! :ha:


Yup, our weather is the same here too Zac...summer in the morning & winter by mid afternoon! :eek: It's just ridiculous. I just look outside now, instead of checking the weather...it's far more accurate.


If that honestly happened to me on a bus...and some guy belly bopped me :ha:...



I'd fricken flip out! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif


He'd be running the other way if he did that to me!


So Zac, what banana plants are you growing now?



Cam, you still up? :03:



: )

[island cassie]

Well Sherry - here you all are!!

[island cassie]

or not!!! Almost as bad as the chat!! night all!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi Carol! Nice to see you made it. :08: Yup, here we all are. Feel free to chat and post anytime of the day or night.


Unfortunately, I have to go now because my bf's here...but I'll be back tomorrow. Have a great night, y'all. :waving:


Maybe someone else will be around to talk with ya for now, Carol. ;)


Chat soon...


G'night. :03:


: )

[Jack Daw]

Yup, snow and cold weather sure puts me in the mood for cuddling with my boyfriend http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo4-1.gif...he'll be here later. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo9.gif

You see how you're twisting my words? I wasn't talking about cuddling! :ha:
But I guess you will have to go trhough the hugging, cuddling, kissing, petting... and other forms until you get to what I meant. But, just because I care for you, I fear that you won't make it in time this winter and that cuddling phase will just be too long for any warm effect to be appreciated. :bananas_b

Btw. it's 72/55F here (day and night). A new, never broken record. From my own experience, the warmer it gets before the winter, the more drastic winter will come after that. Sheesh.
Went out, enjoyed the weather though...

[ShearMe]

So Zac, what banana plants are you growing now?


Just the ice cream and maurelii still, though willow did trade me a dwarf blue prince.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Very cool, Zac! I hope you know you are welcome to pups from my banana plants anytime you want...just ask. I think you said you didn't want too many more though?


I tried some of your Loquat jam and mint-chocolate tea again recently Zac....totally delicious! :08: I even shared some with my mom and she enjoyed too. ;)



Now Jack, you know I cannot discuss these personal matters in a public post! :eek:


Besides that, I never kiss & tell. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/kiss.gif


You better be careful though, Mr. Daw, because my boyfriend sometimes reads these threads and he might have to threaten to kick your Salsa-dancing, Slovakian arse!!! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/laugh.gif


Teasing, of course Jack, but subtlety is sure not your best quality. Then again, it hasn't always been mine either! :ha:



However, let's keep the private things that I may or may not be doing with my boyfriend, out of this thread, shall we?


I thought you would agree. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/aa93.gif




Alrighty then, changing the subject to something more pg13...


So how's everyone's weekend going? Mine's going ok, and no snow yet! Yipppeee! As a matter of fact I was out cycling this morning, in the sunshine! Took some more shots of my Beautyberry shrub today as well...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSCI3999.jpg


I'm kind of excited because my girlfriend is dropping me off some apples from the orchard today!!!! Yippeeeeeee...it's apple time again!


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny201.jpg


"Mutsu" apples are my most favorite! They're a pale yellow-ish green color with a blush of red on one side. To say they are sweet & delicious, is putting it mildly. They are just fantastically superb and I can't wait to get some!


Here's what a "Mutsu" apple looks like...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/MUTSUAPPLE.gif


Anyone else get some good apples, this season? What's your favorite kind?




By the way Cameron, I took a shot of my "Caerulea" passiflora vine and how it looks today...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSCI4003.jpg


It's still surviving our frosty temps but I'm bringing it into the sunporch tonight. You'll be getting seeds from me for this type.


: )



Hope everyone's having a great weekend! :waving:



Gotta go for a bit but be back later...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny199.jpg


: )

[Willow87]

Sherry thats so beautiful! My Incense isnt looking too well. I might just trim it back and try to root the cuttings in water. I'm still waiting for the Caerulea to sprout. I think one maypop made it

Hi Cam! :03:


Yeah the "Caerulea" seeds take about three weeks to a month, to pop. If they don't germinate however, I'll be sending you some of my fresh seeds.


Wonder what's up with your "Incense" plant? Sucks it's not working out for ya. :(


Here's a shot of one of my Holly shrubs. This one put on quite a bit of growth this year for such an extremely young shrub. You can see part of one of my Beautyberry shrubs as well...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSCI4000.jpg


I'll be around tonight if anyone wants to pop in and say 'hi'...



: )

[Willow87]

Thanks Sherry. The leaves on my Incense are turning yellow. I really hope it makes it. I'm going to look for some other plants next year. I saw an online nursery that had a lot of varieties and free shipping so I may try them next year.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Describe the conditions your Incense vine is in, Cam? Is it a seed-grown vine and how old is it?


Have you ever fertilized it?


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Zac, thanks for the link for the mint-chocolate tea in my other thread....so you're allergic to
apples?! :eek:


What happens if you eat them? Never heard of anyone being allergic to apples before...


: )

[Willow87]

Well i got it through a trade and the person who had it before me bought it from Lowe's. A lot of the older leaves are yellowing and its not growing much. I have it in a mostly sunny area and its well watered

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I think what's happening is normal, Cam. ;)


Last winter my caerulea vine was dormant but when Spring hit, it began to grow new sprouts and leaves everywhere.


Give it a shot of some fertilizer...it will likely enjoy it. Mine did.


What size pot is it in & how big of a vine is it? My Incense vine is outside in my garden, but buried deep, & in a sheltered spot. It's an experiment to see if it returns in Spring...


Yippeeeeeeeee if it does!!! :goteam:


: )

[Jack Daw]

Now Jack, you know I cannot discuss these personal matters in a public post! :eek:


Besides that, I never kiss & tell. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/kiss.gif


You better be careful though, Mr. Daw, because my boyfriend sometimes reads these threads and he might have to threaten to kick your Salsa-dancing, Slovakian arse!!! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/laugh.gif


Teasing, of course Jack, but subtlety is sure not your best quality. Then again, it hasn't always been mine either! :ha:



However, let's keep the private things that I may or may not be doing with my boyfriend, out of this thread, shall we?

Honey, there are several grammar mistakes in your post, but I won't go into it just yet. For the record, Slovak. ;) Not Slovakian. This is not some Asian country ending with -stan (Afghanistan, Kyrgysztan, Uzbekistan...), so we can't end on -an (Afghan...). :ha:

You know, I would actually wanna see your boyfriend try (or just see him). It's difficult to say the outcome,... but I know, where the odds are good and where they're less than satisfactory. :ha:

Sure, we don't know what big girls do with their boyfriends. Funny. In your post,... we were always taught that one refers to a girl-friend as girlfriend, when there's sexual subcontext in the relationship.
In other words, the relationship is... well, you know, what I mean. :ha:

Always great to learn something new.

Btw. just noticed my naners today, they are growing happily and some of them have put out 3 leaves since putting inside (1 leaf/5 days in some cases).
:woohoonaner:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh well pardon me, Mr. English professor! Personally I thought "Slovakian" sounded far more comical. :ha:


You'll find out how "imaginary" (which you stated in your pm) my boyfriend is when he becomes a member of this site! :eek:


Of course I'm just kidding with you Jack so don't get your Slovakian temper going! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif


Yeah well maybe in your country the word "girlfriend" has perverted implications, but here it just means a female chum. :)


So Cam, about that Incense vine...


: )

[Willow87]

I think its in a 3 gallon pot, maybe a 2 gallon. Its not too tall but its kind of bushy. Would it be too late to give it some fertilizer? It was kind of unhealthy looking when I got it, so hopefully in spring it will come back stronger

[The Hollyberry Lady]

If it's not well Cam, do not fertilize it. I just wondered if it could feel Autumn in the air and maybe it's just dropping some leaves like mine did too.


The pot size sounds good so no worries there...


If you are able to show a shot of it one morning, that'd be cool! :08:


I have seeds for "Incense" too, so I can include a few for ya later. ;)


What else are ya growing, Cam?


: )

[ShearMe]

Zac, thanks for the link for the mint-chocolate tea in my other thread....so you're allergic to
apples?! :eek:


What happens if you eat them? Never heard of anyone being allergic to apples before...


: )


It's not the apples themselves I'm allergic to, there's some compound that's also in bananas, peaches, pears, loquats, green beans, almonds, walnuts, and other untasted edibles. It makes my throat and gums itchy, but nothing that's gonna kill me. This magical unknown compound disappears when the food is cooked, and also vanishes when a banana ripens on the counter, so I can eat all sorts of baked goods luckily.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

So Zac, you can't even enjoy your loquat fruits whole? Is that why you made the jam?


By the way Jack...


Yes my bf is a gardener, which you also asked about (in pm). Could you see me with anyone that wasn't? :eek:
I would drive him insane! :ha:


Hoping I get to go for another spin on my HEAD tomorrow :ha: ...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSCI3850.jpg


...so pray for no snow!!!


: )

[ShearMe]

Ha, that's a sweet bike! ;)

Before the loquats ripen (when they're extra sour) they don't itch much, and I taste a few sweet ones despite the itch because they're so darned tasty, but yes, that's why I made the jam. :08:

[Willow87]

ok thanks Sherry. I'll take some pics of it in the morning. It may be the autumn air at least that's what im hoping. I saw one passionflower called Sunburst that I want to get next year, the only problem is the flowers stink lol. My plumeria is going dormant now. it grew quite a bit despite it almost getting broken lol

[ShearMe]

Oh, since you're on cam, I'm not so sure the two other pups i dug up are gonna make any progress over the winter. Hows the third one i gave you doing?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Zac! ;)


A lot of men really seem to like my bike and they compliment it. It must be because a man a picked it out and bought it for me...my brother. :)


Cam, I'm really interested most especially in growing passiflora types that may prove to be a perennial in my zone. Apparently, Caerulea is one of them but you have to protect it inside for one year when the plant is young...much like Basjoo.


Be right back...


: )

[Willow87]

Hi Zac its just now starting to turn yellow lol. i thought it would grow but it didnt oh well LOL

[Willow87]

I've seen so many interesting looking passion flowers and there are quite a few that are hardy here. I cant wait to plant mine in the ground and watch them thrive

[ShearMe]

Ah, well, I'll try my hand again in spring. ;)

[Willow87]

that would be cool.

[Jananas Bananas]

Have any of you guys tried Hot Pepper jelly? If you haven't you should try it. I have made myself hungry looking at all these jelly recipes.

Sorry you have those food allergies, but I am glad you found a way around them Zac.

Cameron I think you passion vine will come back in the Spring, so even if it turns all yellow and loses it's leaves - don't throw it away. Mine always die back to nothing and come back with a vengeance then.

Oh yeah, and there is a mint (chocolate mint) that makes a wonderful chocolate mint tea - you just pick the leaves off and steep them in your hot water, and sweeten to taste. It is yummy and it smells really good too!

~JaNan

1. You MUST post the link to that hot pepper jelly recipe. :bananas_b

2. Chocolate flavored mint plants?! I want. :08:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I got my Mutsu apples, by the way!!! I was crunching on one earlier.


Yeah, I hope to acquire a few more types of passion flower varieties too, Cam. They're easy to get addicted to, eh?


Zac, do you think you might want an "Orinoco" pup back from your mother plant you initially sent me? I'd be happy to share. That plant is totally cool and it grows like a charm!


Yeah, Janan, Zac sent me some of that chocolate-mint tea and I steep it for five minutes. It's so smooth and delicious!


Yup, I've tried hot pepper jelly before. Mmmmmmmm! ;)

: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

See Cam, what Janan said about your passiflora vine? I told you there's nothing to worry about. It's all cool! ;)


: )

[ShearMe]

I could always make room for another nanner. :)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

One definitely has your name on it, Zac. ;)



Thanks to Bob, I also now have a Siam Ruby and a Viente Cohol plant.



Next year, he's giving me a Jeff Earl California Gold (and I'm the only one he's ever sharing that with one with, by the way! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif) and an Ae Ae!!! :eek:


Yup, I'm bragging! :08:


Past that I don't think I'll want, nor have room for much more. :ha:


: )

[ShearMe]

Those will be fun to deal with in your climate. :P

I really just want my maurelii to grow bigger (and redder), it's not been doing so well.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Alright, there's two more I want...


A real super red Maurelii & a Zebrina. I've got a thing for red plants...but not red flowers.


So what's up with your Maurelii, Zac?


: (

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Janan, have you ever had or made hot pepper jelly?


I like it with meat. :goteam:


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yes - I've had jalapeño pepper jelly drizzled over cream cheese on butter crackers. YUMMY!!! I've also had some hot pepper jelly on made from scratch buttery biscuits, also YUMMY! :2126: ~J

[Willow87]

Thanks Janan i hope it can survive the indoor climate lol.

[ShearMe]

I don't know what's up with it. Bob suggested that I've been keeping it too wet over summer, so I let it dry out but it never made any progress. It gets a maximum of 4 leaves before they die, and the stalk always dies before the leaf itself.

It is shorter than when I first got it from Bob.

I repotted it when I sensed something was wrong, but it wasn't root bound when I took it out, and it hasn't done better since. The only thing left I can think to do is drench it to see if I haven't been giving it enough water, but I'm hesitant to do so over winter and indoors.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh it'll survive indoors Cam...it's outdoors you have to worry about. Just make sure it get's some light, but like Janan said it'll come back in Spring, Regardless.



Yes - I've had jalapeño pepper jelly drizzled over cream cheese on butter crackers. YUMMY!!! I've also had some hot pepper jelly on made from scratch buttery biscuits, also YUMMY! :2126: ~J



Oh Janan, I'm drooling! :eek:


My aunt makes it homemade but I am such a hot pepper freak, I really should just make my own. :ha:


I wanna make some Cayenne hot sauce next year.



Zac, I'm sorry to hear that your plant isn't doing well. :( I sure hope it improves for you soon...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sorry to be abrupt you guys but I gotta go now...bf just showed up.



Don't forget to turn your clock's back tonight. Nice chatting and hope to again soon...



G'night! :waving:



: )

[ShearMe]

:O completely forgot about daylight savings! Thanks!

[Jananas Bananas]

I would like to try and make some Tabasco hot sauce, my favorite is the garlic flavored. The ingredients are simple enough but I believe it has to ferment - and that is the key to getting the flavor right.

You should try some jelly, it's fun and you can give it as gifts. Hey you could give them a pepper plant or seeds with the jelly. Wouldn't that be a nice present! :) J

[saltydad]

I have the Incarnata passiflora all over my garden, so now I'm thinking of getting into those that I have to bring inside and don't have to worry about them taking over my yard. Ruby Glow is definitely one I'll try. I've always wanted a red passionflower.

[ShearMe]

Tabasco peppers, salt, vinegar, and aged for 3 years in white oak barrels. Also, all of Tabasco's pepper plants are grown from seeds out of the closely-controlled pollination off the Avery Island grown tabasco peppers to make sure they don't lose that unique flavor. :)

[Jack Daw]

Sigh, looks like somebody's been up all night...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia210.jpg


That sucks you've been up all night, Jack. :( I sure know what that's like. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif


Cool Zac & Janan...I have seeds for Tobasco peppers. :08:



Yeah Howard, that Ruby Glow is just stunning! Hope you get if for yourself...so you can share it with me! :ha:



Did you guys remember to turn your clock's back? I did. Weird because it feels like it's nearly 9 am here but with the clock's going back it's only 7:55 am!!! :eek: What am I doing up this early?! Funny because even when I'm up late, I still get up early...even on a Sunday.



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia148.gif



Actually I'm more of a tea drinker myself and hardly ever drink coffee. Hope everyone has a great
Sunday. :waving:


Thanks for mentioning that great idea for a gift for people, Janan. I know this lady that gives little hot pepper plants as gifts to people for Christmas, already ladened with fruits. People just love it and it really cheers up their dark December days.


Anyway, gonna check some other posts for a bit...


: )

[Jack Daw]

Yeah, the Interview with the Vampire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110148/) was on and I had to see it. Again, for the 10th time, it's our anniversary. :08:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm ashamed to say, I don't think I've seen it! :eek:

LOL, it's from the time when almost nobody of the main characters was so popular... Antonio, Brad, Tom...

[Jananas Bananas]

Good Morning Insomniacs! :waving:

Zac, I don't think I will be aging anything in a white oak barrel for three years, but I might give that a try and see what I can come up with. Greg will eat it - he's like Mikey - he will eat anything! HA! HA! :ha:

Howard, Lady Margaret is a pretty red passion flower and it is a tough one. It will grow side by side with Incarnata. You probably wouldn't have to bring it in unless you just wanted to.

I love giving living gifts to people Sherry, but unfortunately not everyone is good with plants! They can kill a cast iron plant or a ZZ! I always like giving something I would like to get! And homemade or home grown are my favorites. Here's one I made for gift giving. It is a mini fairy garden:

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=38233&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38233)

This particular one I liked so much I kept it, so it was a prototype! HA! HA! :ha:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'll have to check it out sometime, because horror flicks are my absolute favorite. :)


So what are your plans today, Jack? Did you like my pm, last night? http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif


Going for a quick spin to the grocery store right now but I'll stay logged on. Won't be long,

(even if there's Firemen there! :ha:)


Janan, that's so terrific. Thanks for the shot. How creative of you! :08:


We'll chat more when I get back from my spin..


: )

[Willow87]

Good morning everyone. Janan that is a beautiful little garden :)

Don't know. I got way too many PMs y-day. Most of them from your b/f. He wanted me to give him my address, so that he can come here and get beaten up for trying to beat me up. :ha:

OK, enough of jibba-jabba. Let's focus on the coming winter dormancy period.

Btw. if your girlfriend is just a friend, who happens to be a girl at the same time, is your boyfriend just a friend, who happens to be a boy? ;)
These terms are quite clouded now...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

What a beautiful day it is here today! Sunny & kinda warm. :)


I picked up some organic carrots, whole wheat bread, and some portabello mushrooms. Having a t-bone steak tonight for dinner, and Bob gave me this cool personal recipe of his own to make carmelized onions, so I'm going to try it with my steak. :woohoonaner:


Janan, that is just too cute & adorable. I just love that little "Fairy Garden"!!!How did you get into doing something like that? I bet people go nuts when you give them as gifts? So creative and different. Tell me more about it please, and how you do it? Do you get stuff from the craft store?




Jack... how ridiculous! :ha:


My boyfriend is more than just a friend, but my girlfriend and I's relationship is strictly just platonic. Is it clear now, Slovak boy? ;)


Oh no, my bf wouldn't waste time with silly little pm's Jack...you'd just hear a knock at your
door! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif



Then you'd hear the shot! :eek:



Anything else clouded for ya, Mr. Daw? :ha:



Good morning, Cam! :waving:


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Thanks Sherry and Cameron! Posting it here gave me the idea for a gifting thread which I just started. I need some fresh ideas from you and everyone else for some Christmas gifts. I am working on some new stuff now.

All of the stuff in the actual garden are plants I already have. I used a lot of small petaled succulents. They are hard to kill and are so cute in a mini garden. I mist them every other day and give them water MAYBE once a month. The little house was just a Dollar Store tree ornament that I embellished. It was a lot of fun to make (and actually quite easy really!) and I was very pleased with how it turned out.

I will take some pictures of some other projects I've made or am making as I go along. ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh what a great idea, Janan! :goteam:


I will look for your thread and love your idea. That little fairy garden is so cute and I like how you've incorporated real live plants into the scene. Very cool. ;)


I think gifts like that are more meaningful than store bought ones anyway and fun to make. I have some ideas too that my mom and I did a couple times for Christmas gifts and people loved it. :)


Looking for your thread...


My mom told me today that they're calling for extremely warm weather next week. Indian Summer!!! Yipppeeeeee! :D


: )

[Willow87]

One of my friends is going to give me some red yucca seeds he collected. I love those plants, especially since they are drought tolerant. He collected 50 seed pods and I think he is collecting more

[Jack Daw]

Then you'd hear the shot! :eek:


Honey, this is not America, this is an advanced, millenia old society living on the most (culturally) diverse continent, not some sort of militia based society created from slaves, murderers, religious castaways and optional lumberjacks and minor labor work (that's not what I say, that's actually what they teach kids in Europe ;) )... We don't have, carry or allow weapons, let alone allow some fella from another continent (say yours) carry and get a gun here...

Besides, I think it would be easier to just break up with you, than to travel to Europe only to return... well... that's the best possible case, return... :drum: :ha:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Mr. Daw...


I should have known you would get back with another drawn-out answer, and that you would further grace us with more of your deep thoughts and views...


It was a joke anyway Jack...my bf would never shoot anyone. He'd just do some rearranging of your facial features that might actually be becoming, depending on the angle! :ha: :ha: :ha:


I suppose you're not just a Salsa dancer, but trained in Karate too? http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif


On and on about guns and murderers, when I just wanted to chat about sunny skies and doing crafts! :08:


Are we the only two around?


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh, hi Cameron!!! :waving: Didn't see ya there at first...


Too cool about the red yucca seeds! You'll have to let us know how those work out for you...

I've don't think I've seen that plant before but not too sure. Maybe I'll google it...


: )

So you can quit being afraid now, Jack!!! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif




So Mr. Daw, what special powers do you have as a moderator? Does this mean you can spy on people and screw with their accounts?! :ha:


I am astounded that someone actually made YOU a moderator!!! :eek:


How is this possible? http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif




Seriously though, I gotta make a quick call to my grandparents. Be right back...

You know, I actually help people or direct them where they can solve their problem, when and if it occurs. I do not have a spying or messing button, unlike in your dreams. ;)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Ok Jack, good to know you're not reading my pm's! :ha:


Or else then you'd get to read all the stuff I've been saying about you! :eek:


Cool that you help others. I like to help people too and share what I know.



Had to call my Gp's briefly, to ask them about something but I'm mostly free now. ;)




Try not to drool...



I make my own beef jerky in my dehydrator and I have to cut the beef really thin before marinating it for 24 hours. I make it with inside round roast...



Here's another thing I love to make with inside round, and what I had for dinner a few night's ago. I took the shot just before I put it in the oven...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSCI4004.jpg


It's a beef pinwheel made with ham, red and green sweet peppers, spinach, and swiss cheese. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe it! Yummy.


I also made a big batch of mushrooms, to go on the side.


So what are you guys having for dinner? What kind of food do you eat in your country, Jack?


: )

[CoryS]

Jack's fun and I want a spying or messing button! :D

Hi Blake...nice to see you made it! :03:


Nope, it's not supposed to look like anything but a damn good way to prepare inside round roast! :ha:


My moonflowers are dead now Blake but you gave me lots of seeds so it's cool. I didn't let my plant go to seed at all.


I saw your banana pics and commented on some of them in your album but yes those look awesome, Blake. You must be thrilled!!! :goteam:


Hope you'll stick around and chat sometime...



Cam, thanks for the link. I have a "Sapphire Skies" Yucca Rostrata from Bob and it's in my garden. It survives our cold zone well and is a perennial. Tha red one looks awesome too.

They are not my banana plants, but I took pictures for other to see my trip. :) I was thrilled though to see that someone a couple min away got there bananas to bloom. The blooma were soft to touch, but when you squeez them they are hard, the best thing that I can compare them to is a 5 pound minie football! But it was verry cool to see his bananas, and even better to see blooms... and fruit!! :D

Well your friend's plant is totally awesome, Blake! :woohoonaner:


Are you going to try to get one of your banana plants to bloom? I am.

[Blake09]

Well your friend's plant is totally awesome, Blake! :woohoonaner:


Are you going to try to get one of your banana plants to bloom? I am.


: )

Yep :goteam:

Ime hoping in the future that my bananas will look like that! :bananas_b

[ShearMe]

Ime hoping in the future that my bananas will look like that!

We ALL do! :ha:

[Willow87]

Thanks Sherry. I have read that yucca seeds can be similar to passiflora seeds. I have read one site that stated that they can take a couple weeks to a year to germinate. I hope its just a couple of weeks LOL. I've seen it all over around here and the flower spikes are tall.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting tired of looking at other people's bananas...and want my own, damn it!!! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif



:ha::ha::ha:



Maybe next year...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Cool Cam! :08:


Bob sent me a Yucca seedling from the nursery and it's supposed to get more blue as the years wear on. It's gorgeous in Winter.


: )

[Jack Daw]

Ok Jack, good to know you're not reading my pm's! :ha:
Even if I could, do you really believe that a person like me would want to read all those hundreds of PMs you produce every night, Miss Insomniac? :ha:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

A person like you?


I'm too busy posting to have time for pm's! :ha:


: )

[Willow87]

Thats so cool Sherry. I've never seen a blue yucca plant

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've never seen a red one before either, Cam! Very cool. ;)


Just finished typing out some more information in my 'facing your mistakes' thread.


Now I'm just making my dinner & listening to some tunes...


Gonna start a new thread...


What are you guys up to?


: )

[Willow87]

Sherry I think I'm going to try growing bamboo next year. I've always wanted to grow some, and I was trying to figure out what i could plant for a quick growing evergreen privacy fence. Do you know of any reputable online stores that sell bamboo besides ebay LOL.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I don't know much about Bamboo, Cam...but many others in this thread do! Not sure of where to get it but why don't you just try to trade with another gardener?


I hear it can be invasive. :eek:


Is this true?


: )

[Willow87]

Thanks Sherry that's a good idea, but i dont have anything good to trade right now for bamboo. I love the black bamboo and its hardy in my zone. There are non invasive varieties but alot of bamboo is really invasive. I've seen it growing wild around here and there is a whole field of it a few miles away, but I'm afraid i might get arrested trying to collect it LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

If it's growing in the wild Cam, I don't think you'll be arrested for taking a small piece of it.


If so, I'll give my number and you can call me to post bail...


Cam, the Bamboo Swindler!!! :ha:


: )

[Willow87]

LOL I guess I'm more afraid of trespassing. But I would need someone to bail me out if I get caught LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah I wouldn't suggest trespassing in any restricted areas, but is it restricted or could you just act like you're taking a walk?


: )

[Willow87]

Its a field that is for business zoning. its right off a busy street.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh, I see. Well I guess it depends on how badly you want it then, doesn't it Cam? :ha:


Do they still let you have internet in jail? http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif



Please join my new thread sometime & let us know what kind of grub you're all eating?



http://www.bananas.org/f9/whatcha-havin-dinner-12902.html



Gotta go eat now but I'll stay signed on and be back shortly...


: )

[Willow87]

I wouldnt survive a second in jail LOL. It would be funny if one of the inmates asked what I was in there for, and my response would be because I was digging up bamboo LOL. I dont want bamboo that bad. Take care Sherry and enjoy your din din LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hey Bamboo Bandit! :03:



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny121.jpg



That's just hilarious what you said about the inmate, Cam! :ha:



Well, dinner was good but I got busy with my mom for a bit...she lives right next door to me.


So how's everyone's night going?


: )

[Willow87]

I'm the bamboo bandit now lol.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, that's what I'll call you now! :ha:



Are you gonna live up to the name though? Get loaded with a few pals one night and take a little walk with a small shovel! :08:




What's wrong with this picture?...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny123.jpg



:eek:

[Willow87]

I dont think i want to live up to that name LOL. I put a posting on GW to see if anyone locally had any that they wanted to get rid of. Of course the most commonly grown bamboo around here is invasive. I need a fast get away vehicle just in case, and i'll have to do it in the cover of darkness LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh my gawd that is just hysterical, Cam! :ha:


I'm picturing you running through a field of bamboo with a stalk in your hand and police dogs on your ass!!! :ha::ha::ha:





WTF?


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny122.jpg


:eek:

[ShearMe]

WTF?


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny122.jpg


:eek:

I saw this on TV once, it's a religious thing.

[Willow87]

i would also be worried about the various critters hiding in that bamboo clump LOL.

[CoryS]

That food sounds fabulous! Please post it here too...


http://www.bananas.org/f9/whatcha-ha...ner-12902.html



Cam, I think you'll be more worried about the dog's on your trail than the bugs in the
bamboo! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/laugh.gif



: )

[Willow87]

Thats true Sherry LOL. I'm out of shape so I wouldnt be able to escape fast enough. Maybe i could use the bamboo like dog bone or dog toy and maybe that would divert the attention away from me LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Too bad I wasn't near you or I'd go get it for you myself!!! :ha:


What time is it there, Cam? It's 11:03 pm here...


: )

[ShearMe]

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Ok, g'night Cam. :waving:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup I did Zac, but isn't this California time on this site?


: )

[ShearMe]

Uh, no... it shows you the time based on your time zone. What's your time zone?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm still trying to figure out this stupid program for Comp Sci...

[CoryS]

Comp sci!? :eek: sounds scary! Is it Halloween again!? Why not? :) They had a totally awesome 4th of July fireworks show here last night! :D It was the best one I've seen!! :D But not too many guyz with firecrackers. I had mine though!! :D
4th of July Fireworks and Operation Oklahoma Rescheduled | City of Norman, Oklahoma (http://www.ci.norman.ok.us/parks/4th-july-fireworks-and-operation-oklahoma-rescheduled)
I hope they have Halloween in January! That would be awesome!! :D

Oh, good luck with the Comp sci thing. :) Is that as tuff as trigonometry?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny140.gif


Sorry I left rather abruptly last night but it got kind of late and I was tired, for a change! :ha:


Busy day today but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Monday! :waving:

It's harder than trigonometry (that might just be because I think trig is easy), but mostly just because we were assigned to use processes we didn't write and I have no idea how they work or what they do. :/

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Going to make some dinner soon but thought I'd say 'hi' to you guys. :waving:


Boy, it gets dark real early now! :(


What's everyone's plans tonight?

[Jananas Bananas]

Going to watch some TV, play some Bejeweled. post here in a couple of places. Hey, how come the waving banana isn't waving anymore? :waving:

~JaNan

[The Hollyberry Lady]

LOL, Blake! :ha: Too funny!


Yeah, it'll soon be dark at 5 pm here, but right now it's night at around 6pm. :(


Cool you joined the thread, Blake. Hope you'll pop in and say 'hi' more often. Love your shots and images. ;)



Janan...


LOL!!! :ha: It still waves...you just have to watch it for a bit longer. :waving: See?


That jewelery you made is so beautiful, Janan. :) Do you sell it or just give it to friends and family as gifts?


Thanks, to some of you for participating in my new "what'cha havin' for dinner" thread. I'm curious and (ok downright nosey) want to know what other people are eating for their supper...even if it's a can of spam! :eek: :ha:



Hope you guys are having a good night so far...




http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny178-1.gif


Ok, not too crazy!!!


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention...


Thank you Tony, for your suggestion about changing my time zone in the settings...I didn't realize I could do that. Very cool because now the time is correct on my posts. :D


Thanks again, Sunfish! :03:


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

It's not waving for me!!!!! :waving: All the others are dancing :2791: and jumping :bungejumpnaner: drinking beer :bananas_b, but this guy is just looking at me....and kinda creepy at that!!!!:ha: I may have to change to this guy :hiiiiyanana:

~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

That is very weird, Janan. It still waves for me.



I was beginning to think nobody wanted to chat with me! :(



I'm feeling like I'm in the mood for a snack...like maybe one of those Mutsu apples my girlfriend got from the orchard...


Wish it didn't get dark so early now...it's depressing and reminds me that winter is coming. And so is snow....ssshhhhhhh! :eek:


Not this week anyway, cuz this is our Indian summer...the last hurrah! :08:



What's your weather like these days, Janan?



About that apple...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Very, very beautiful! Upper 70's in the daytime - 50 ish at night. We did have a frost warning the other night and I brought everything in or covered it up. I did uncover everything but the ones I brought in the house are still here. We are supposed to get back into the 80's later on in the week. That could change though, it usually does! ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm sorry I asked! And I'm seething with jealousy! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif


I'm planning on getting the last of my gardening work done this week to prepare everything for winter. Hard to believe another season is over. :(


Hope winter passes fast and I'm out planting in my gardens again soon...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

We have decent weather here. Fall is my favorite time of year, I just love it! But our summers are horribly hot. I found a couple of pictures I will post to your winter thread tomorrow (because I have to find them again), but they are from last year and not a very common site around here. ~J

[CoryS]

That is very weird, Janan. It still waves for me.
I was beginning to think nobody wanted to chat with me! :(
Wish it didn't get dark so early now...it's depressing and reminds me that winter is coming. And so is snow....ssshhhhhhh

SNOW FTW!!!!!! :D
Just saying, lol! Btw, that's For The World, not the other, double lol!
Strange. The bananas in Janan's posts are waving at me too.
Sherr! :) I always like chatting with u! You can chat with me here, on Yahoo IM, on the school bus, on the deck, well, anywhere you wanna chat!! :D

K. The "beautiful"s are still here, i'm just too lazy to type them.
Well, we had bacon cheeseburgers and homemade curly fries! :D Oh, and pumpkin pie for desert! Couldn't get photos though cause nobody gets in the kitchen while it's cooking and when we get to the table, everybody's ****ing around so no way to take any photos. :(

Oh, weather! :D Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! I want snow i want snow i want snow i want snow... 50's but getting up to 70'sF tomorrow but dropping back to 60's and too cold if we dont get any snow! :eek:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

You're so lucky to have such nice weather, Janan!


Cool Cory. I like chatting with you too. :D I'll try to take more shots of my dinners, now that I've started that new thread...


Hope you will participate in it too Janan, because it sounds like you eat pretty well also and I'd be nosey to know what you're makin' sometimes. ;)


Cory, your dinner sounds good. I used to love curly fries...with chili and cheese on them. Mmmmmm!


You can have all our snow when it lands. I'd gladly send it your way in one quick hurry if I could. ;)


Janan, looking forward to your shots tomorrow in the winter thread. Just not looking forward to winter. :(


I had my apple, by the way. :D


: )

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry and everyone. How is everyone tonight. I got my red yucca seeds. I'm going to soak them in the morning. I also got a cast iron plant which I really enjoy growing. My lamp isnt working so now I have to figure out where i can put my passion flower seeds now. Its always something lol

[Jananas Bananas]

Eating well! A little TOO well! HA! HA! :ha: I don't usually take pictures of dinner unless it's really pretty or a holiday, but I do love taking pictures! It's a hobby that I really love. Sherry I think you, I, Ante, Mitchel, and Tony, are the picture taken est group! HA! HA! Blake and Cory are slipping in there. We know Bob doesn't take to many! And Howard is playing catch up because he broke his. ~J :woohoonaner:

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi, Cam! :waving:


Cool you got your seeds! Good luck with them. Please show a shot of your cast iron plant sometime soon?


LoL, Janan!!! That's too funny, the way you described the picture takers. :ha:


I must say I love Ante's shots...and Mitchel's are superb too. I love taking shots as well and want to get a super fancy camera. Might soon...


Yes, pics aren't required in the dinner thread...just if members want to, they can.


Sorry, I was busy taking a call for a few minutes but free now...


;)

[Jananas Bananas]

Just got a message from my broadband internet provider - they are going to be replacing a router tomorrow saying we will be down for a couple of hours, which probably means a couple of DAYS! I hate it when that happens. Soooo, if you don't hear anything from me for a couple of days you will know why. :(

I love seeing everyones pictures!!!! I love looking as much as I love taking! ~J

[Willow87]

Ok I'll take pictures of it in the morning. It was on clearance.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

That sucks, Janan. Hope it won't be down too long for you.


I feel the same about pictures as you do Janan but wish more people would take them. Wish too, that some members wouldn't hog the picture bar so much, and maybe allow other members who hardly ever post shots, to display their peeks way longer. ;) I always enjoy commenting on the pics and rating them.




Sometimes those can be the best kind, Cam...plants on clearance! I bet you're glad you got it at such a good deal.


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny300.jpg


:ha::ha:

[Willow87]

Yes unfortunately i could only get one, but there were at least 10 more left.

[Jananas Bananas]

I love catching the clearance table for plants! Where did you find it Cameron?

Oh, I guess I am a picture bar hogger! Sorry! I try to load them in groups for the thread I want to post them too or I forget. I have a swiss cheese memory sometimes. I have a private picture storage which is where I have my jewelry pictures stored, but I just use it for my sales shots. ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Well of course I don't want to get specific about names or anything but I certainly was not referring to you Janan...as a picture bar hogger!!! :ha:


It's ok to take the whole bar sometimes and I didn't mean that. Just if you are a very regular picture poster it might be cool to take a day or two off and allow others a chance to display their shots. ;)


You take many days off Janan so you're cool. :)


I look at them all and always notice the best ones. I like that you can comment on the shots too.


Not sure how much later I'm staying up until. Getting sleepy soon...


Are you guys tired yet?


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yeah, me too! Maybe I can get to sleep within the next hour or so. I have to close the computer up or I stay on it all night long. Soooo saying goodnight Sherry and Cameron if you are still here. Nite, nite! ~J

[tbaleno]

So verrry tired. I keep refreshing screens to see if there is anything new.

[saltydad]

So I guess I'm the only one up, eh?

[saltydad]

OK, I'm off to bed. Night all.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sorry I missed you guys last night, Howard and Tbaleno. :( We never get a chance to chat anymore! Hope we might soon...



Cam & Janan...sorry I didn't say g'night last night, but I got sleepy and just signed off. ;)



Just wanted to tell everyone this morning, to...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny127.gif



: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Good Morning! I've already been outside taking pictures of a pretty sunrise. If any of them are pretty I will post one.

~JaNan

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good morning, Janan! :waving: (hope it waves for ya :ha:)


Please do post a shot if you find a nice one. You know I love pictures like you and look forward to seeing more of yours in the future...


Gotta go get my tea and English muffin with strawberry jam...


: )

[Willow87]

Good morning everyone. Hi Janan I got it from Lowe's. It was $3. I'll have to take a picture of it

[Jananas Bananas]

No he still isn't waving at me. I probably need to do a cold boot on my computer.

Here are a couple of shots I took this morning of the sunrise. The first is about 6:30 AM and the second is a few minutes later. It was foggy and I really like taking pictures when it is foggy. :)

[Willow87]

Janan thats a beautiful sunrise. Its partly cloudy here. I wanted to post a pic of the cast iron plants. Its one of my favorite plants.
http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=38304&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=38304)

[saltydad]

Well of course I don't want to get specific about names or anything but I certainly was not referring to you Janan...as a picture bar hogger!!! :ha:

Hmmm Sherry, I wonder whom you can mean? I'm the most prolific kosher picture hogger of all!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Nope Howard it's not you! :ha:


Please don't make me name names!!! :eek:



Nice shots, Janan! Love them and sorry I haven't been around much but it's been a long & busy day and tomorrow might be the same...not sure yet.


It's super late and I admit I have insomnia tonight really bad, but also kind of tired so not sure how long I'll stay...


Nice shot, Cam! :08: It looks like a good healthy plant you've got there. Good for you. :)



Well, it's kind of late so I'll say g'night but just thought I'd pop in and say 'hi' to you guys before I head offline shortly...





Hopefully! :eek:



Have a great Wednesday, everyone. :waving:


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hey members! :waving:


Anyone around tonight, wanna chat for a bit?


I just finished watering, fertilizing, & showering my Super Dwarf Cavendish plant in my bathtub. It's draining now. :)


I've got tons more tomatoes ripening for me inside today and I'm so looking forward to eating more of them. They're just simply delicious. :D


So what's everybody up to tonight? I'm just posting and reading threads and listening to some tunes on headphones, getting ready to burn a new cd...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I guess all the insomniacs are in bed tonight...which is where I should be soon. I hope I'm not up as late as last night...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia223.gif



I saw your yucca seeds, Cam. ;)



: )

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry. I planted most of them today. I think over 130. I ran out of room so i have at least 40 seeds left

[tbaleno]

Hi there. Going to hang out in chat for a bit and talk to myself :)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi Cam! Cool you're still up. :waving:


I was beginning to think I'd have to continue chatting to myself...and my imaginary friend! :ha:


WoW...that's a lot of seeds. What will you do with all those plants? Good luck with germinating them. Let us know how you do with them...


Hi too, Tbaleno!!! :03:


I just finished reading this comical story...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia235.gif


OMG! :eek:


: )

[Willow87]

I dont know, maybe use them for trading LOL. I still have several seeds that I dont want to plant LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

That's gonna be a lot of trades, Cam! :ha:



I just planted a few more marigold seeds so I could have more January blooms in my windows. Love growing flowers in winter.


You guys are having Thanksgiving soon, eh? We had ours in October. Hard to believe Christmas around the corner...



So Tbaleno, what's keeping you up tonight?



Wonder where everybody is. Janan, you around too?





http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/insomnia237.gif


: )

[Willow87]

LOL yeah thats true, but that's if I can get them to germinate lol. I love marigolds, those are my favorite annual. I'm probably going to get some rest now. I'll be more active tomorrow lol. Take care Sherry

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah, I might try to get some sleep now too. Hope you guys have a good night. Talk again soon...



: )

[tbaleno]

Does anyone here have the stumbleupon toolbar? Thats a great way of killing time when you can't sleep.

You can find some really funny stuff that way.

For instance

http://175proof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/image001.jpg

[The Hollyberry Lady]

That's just hilarious, Tbaleno. :ha:


Feel free to post more funny stuff...I love it! :08:



So who's around?


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/funny236.jpg


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Boy, there must be a lot of really stupid people out there...

Good call on the last one! :eek:



I think my digital camera may have died tonight. Lord knows I've used it enough. :ha: It could work again though so we'll see, but if not, it'll be an excuse to buy a really super great camera next...


If you're around and you wanna say 'hi', feel free. :waving:

Hi!!!

This boy is going to sleep!


Hope you guys get some to.

Adios

I don't want to blow the horn (or a whistle? :D ) on this, but I would actually try the crocodile sitting thing. It's a one in a lifetime opportunity.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

That would be one opportunity (to die :ha:) that I'd gladly miss out on!!! :eek:



Happy Birthday again, Jack! :birthdaynana:





So who's all around today?

I don't think I'd choose being devoured by a crocodile though, Jack!!! :ha:


So did you end up doing anything special for your birthday?


Hi Blake! :waving:


Nice shot but I posted it too, awhile ago. http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo1.gif


So, what are everyone's plans this weekend? I might be going out tonight but not sure just yet...

It might be too cold, so I might not get all muddy anyway! ;) I know that I will finish storing up the bananas. I also need to think about what I need to do with the 7 pups I got too.

Hi Sherry and everyone,

How is everyone today? I looked and saw that a couple of my passion vine seeds sprouted. I hope the other ones come up.

Sherry's with her boyfriend - they are getting warm, 'cause it's quite cold in Canada these days. ;) :bananas_b

LOL ok :ha:

LOL ok :ha:
No, really, the lack of Holly can only be explained by her presence at the only place she doesn't want to use the internet. :ha:
Am I right, Holly?

Not as cold as you think it is here, Jack...

Hey Cam! :03:


Very cool about your passiflora seeds popping! :D What'd I tell ya? :) They're not difficult to germinate especially if the seeds are fresh.

The vines too, practically grow themselves...so you have no worries. ;)

I brought my Caerulea passiflora vine indoors now because it's just getting too cold at night for it to survive in a pot much longer. I think I'll put it in the ground next season.


Anyway...just wanted to say "hi" to everyone. Cool shot, Blake! :08: Hope you had fun 'muddin'!!! :ha:

Well it's a crappy, rainy, & overcast day here today. :( We're at 6°C...43°F.


Hope all your stuff's doing good, Cam. I've got some seeds popping right now too and looking forward to growing some seedlings over winter.


Sorry I haven't been around much lately but I hope everyone's having a great Wednesday. :waving:
