Insomnia Thread...

I got 4 sunflower seeds in the ground and covered by bird netting for added saftey. I'm going to do the same with the sunflower seeds in a different area.

I think my neighbor is upset because I don't go around pulling dandilions. He mentioned we had a bumper crop. I told him well, they are edible.

They do look like mini roses Janan. I hope they survive. I got them for $1.25 at Lowes. There were also some pink and maroon hibiscus plants for 3 dollars

This was my second Berry. beare with me folks I need the pratice,LOL......Hippie

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Wow Hippie...congrats! Great shots.


Cam, I'd only need two small stubby short pieces of that sedum to make a plant. The cuttings root easily and quickly. Whenever you can spare a couple small pieces of it, I'd sure appreciate it. I love it!


So did you guys see my new plant I got today? I was so surprised to find it...








I guess I won't be needing that cutting from you after all, JaNan. I couldn't resist buying it, the smell was so amazing! My mom even bought one.


I also got some orange mint too but it's not that great smelling in my opinion. You can judge for yourself though JaNan because if you're interested, I'll send ya some.


Tom is closer to me than you guys are so this explains why he got his seeds first.


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sorry gang...I gotta go, abruptly. Be back real late or tomorrow morning for sure.


: )

[Willow87]

Ok Sherry as soon as I can I'll send you a couple of pieces.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It should only cost a couple bucks to send some small pieces but if postage is a problem Cam, let me know and I can send a pre-stamped envelope.


So how's everyone today? I just finished dinner and now I have a huge plant job ahead of me. I'll be back and forth, from bathtub to computer. I have to shower a bunch of plants and water some others. It's a big chore but someone's gotta do it.


I just finished re-doing the xmas lights on my trellis with new ones, because the old ones were done. Nice to see it lit up again.


So I got the chocolate mint re-potted into a chocolate colored pot I bought just for the purpose. It looks great...and the smell is so nice. I could hang out by it all night. Can't wait to have enough leaves to dry them for tea.


Anyone get any seeds from me today?


: )

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry. How are you today? I planted a couple of plants today and I still have a empty spot in my flowerbed. I still havent received the seeds yet but I guess I'll wait to see when Janan gets hers and I should get them a week from her I love mints, all of mine died LOL. I'm going to try to get some bee balm from a friend. She has several plants that randomly popped up in her yard

[Jananas Bananas]

I got MY SEEDS!!!



I'm going to have FUN tonight! Bwah HA HA! Thank you Sherry!!!!

Cam I was actually thinking the same thing yesterday, that if I got mine you would get yours about a week later. You would think you lived out in the boonies at the end of a dead end mud road! Geex!

~JaNan

[The Hollyberry Lady]

So cool that you got them, JaNan. Hope you have lots of fun with them and enjoy. YAY!!!


Keep in mind that you'll be getting some more when I collect more seeds from my growings this season. Plus in later May, to early June, I'll be sending you some cuttings and plants.


I'm just taking a break, but the job's not even half finished! Some plants are draining in the tub and then the next bunch will be showered when they're done. I at least want to get all my living room plants done tonight but the rest are smaller and easier.


I can tell today that a couple of those Aloe Polyphylla seeds really are beginning to germinate, because I can see green!!! This is the Aloe that spirals in two different directions. I had five seeds total. Hoping the others come up too.


Ok, gotta go shower a few more of my babies. Be back soon...


: )

[Willow87]

I'm so glad Janan! See I knew you would get yours before me again. I live on the border of Plano and a small town so I guess I'am in the boonies LOL. Oh well a week from now I should have the seeds lol. I'm so glad your aloe is germinating Sherry, are you going to take pics? I keep looking at you and Janan's aero gardens and I may ask for one for my birthday LOL.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I just finished now!


Wow that was a lot of work, getting everything showered, but I'm done nowl. I like showering my plants at night or on overcast days so the sun doesn't burn them while they're wet.


Tomorrow I'll do the rest of the plants in my other windows, but that's enough for tonight. I'm tired now.


I suppose Tom & JaNan are off sowing seeds somewhere.


Yup, I will show shot soon Cam, of the Aloe Polyphylla. It's just that they're so tiny so I know the shots will be blurry, and without a memory card it'll take too long to get it right.


Speaking of which...I'm gonna send my camera back soon so I'll be without a camera for a bit, unless I just can't stand it. If that happens I can go buy one, but I also have a webcam that takes a decent pic. Just remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I'll sure love getting a new one soon. I'll takes a hundred pics when I do!


So what did you sow, JaNan & Tom?


Cam, I sure hope you don't have to wait a solid week to get yours. I know you're patient but it would still suck. We'll see.


Trina, I'll get some seeds off to you soon. I have your list.


: )

[Willow87]

So when does the aloe start spiraling? Is it a fast grower? I hope I dont have to wait a week either but its very possible that I will LOL. I looked outside today and in my pot of sea onions I found 2 Texas mountain laurel sprouts. I threw the seeds in the pot when I thought they wouldnt germinate. Well they did after 3 months LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I think they begin to spiral within a year, Cam. I can't wait to grow them and see what they're like. I guess they're nearly extinct and only one guy in California grows them. I feel pretty special to have something so cool like this. I hope they grow well for me.


My mom just called but I'm off the phone now.


: )

[tbaleno]

I've sown the marigolds and sunflowers so far. So many packets it is so hard to decide which to plant next.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sorry if you're overwhelmed by all the seeds, Tom.


I just didn't want them to go to waste, but you don't have to necessarily sow them all this season. They're all fresh so you can plant them in a 2-5 years even, and if you store them in a cool and dry area...likely even longer.


Did you sow the white kind, as well as the dwarf french petite mix? You'll just love those white ones, Tom. They are one of my all-time favorite flowers. Just wait until you see!


JaNan has a pair of them growing in her aero-garden. The foliage is stunning too Tom, not just the flowers.


: )

[Willow87]

Wow a year is quick. I'm excited for you
