Good night Sherry. Have you eaten miracle fruit Janan?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good Morning!!!


How's everyone's Friday going, so far?


The sun is coming out here and it's looking like it might be beautiful day. All my plants are thriving, and I've got them all showered and cleaned recently. It's a big job each week, but someone's gotta do it.


I was gonna take a shot or two this morning. I'm sending my camera back on Sunday or Monday, whenever UPS can pick it up from me. I bet it will only be a couple weeks I'll be without one, so don't worry gang.


I've never eaten a miracle fruit before but looking forward to trying them. Not sure how long the plant will take to produce fruit when it's grown from seed. Guess I'll find out...


: )

Good Morning Sherry. I mowed my lawn today and foliar fed my plants. I'm covered in mosquito bites though lol. I hate those things, they are already bad, especially since it rained. I even have bites on my scalp, they made it through my little hair lol.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

You should really wear some protection like "OFF" or something, Cam. You don't wanna contract west nile virus from those disgusting things!


Great you got some stuff done. I just have one more plant to feed and then everything's done. Now it's just packing, which I intend to do this afternoon a little bit. If I keep at it everyday, I can get it all done in no time.


I sure miss my mom being gone. I can't wait to move near her again. We're close and spend lots of time together, so it sucks being further away for awhile. I'm going to try to get a place right in her building though...which means I'll have either a groundfloor apartment with gardens, or a huge enormous balcony to grow stuff on in containers. It a terrific place for gardening.


: )

[Willow87]

I have some OFF but I hate spraying it on me because the smell stays on me all day. I have some with no fragrance but I have to look for it LOL. My yard has always had lots of mosquitoes. I sprayed three times last year and it only helped for a little while. Plus I'm a mosquito magnet. I sat outside with a friend by some citronella candles and they didnt bother him at all, they just bit me.
I'm happy that your mom moved from that place but its sad that you cant be close to her now. So the balconies are large? That would be so nice. When I lived in an apartment the patios and the balconies were small but the groundfloor patios were large enough for me to put several houseplants in and build a mini flowerbed.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

These balconies aren't just large...they're HUGE!!! The run the entire length of the apartment. I'll even be able to enjoy hanging baskets too. Plus there's a pool they said I could put plants around. There's three elderly ladies that do the gardening for the building there, so the place is really nice, with potted plants and gardens everywhere.


Sucks about the mesquitoes really taking a liking to you, Cam. All the more reason to get that unscented OFF so they don't bother you. Plus the itchy bites must really be horrible.


I'm hungry. Gonna have some greek salad with feta cheese for lunch, with a Portuguese bun...


: )

[Willow87]

Thats amazing, I've never seen an apartment balcony that huge. Its neat that they will let you garden around the building. Sounds like a really nice place.
Both me and my mom attract mosquitoes. Dean said that I should eat more garlic and that should repel them for the most part. Alot of the bites are painful and last a for a couple of days. I remember Zac came over to my house and we were talking outside and when he got home he emailed me and said how bad the mosquitoes are in my yard and how they leave nasty bumps.

I'm eating some Jalapeno carrots that my mom made yesterday. I dont even like carrots and these are really good. Its a mix of sweet and spicy.

[Willow87]

I got the seeds today Sherry! I'm going to start planting now

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I didn't know that you and Zac were friends! Him and I have traded lots and my Orinoco banana plant came from him.


So cool that you got the seeds finally Cam! Hope Dean gets his today too. I think his garlic suggestion is great, and garlic is also really good for you. If you've got any girls around though...be sure to brush your teeth.


What are you gonna sow today, Cam?


: )

[Willow87]

Yes Zac lives in the neighborhood that I use to live in. He isnt that far from me, and I've done a couple of trades with him. He is very nice. I havent heard from him in a while though.
I definitely love garlic, i want to try roasting some in the oven, I like eating it raw too lol.
I just got in and I have everything planted and labeled. Thanks so much Sherry i really appreciate this. I saw that you gave me the variegated pepper, I really look forward to that and the Jerusalem Cherry I put poisonous on the the label, so I will know. The black Pearl peppers that were damaged are standing up.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes, I think Zac is just great. Miss him these days, but he could be busy studying for exams.


So I got some packing done this afternoon and tomorrow I'll go at it some more.


Trina, I intend on mailing your seeds off by Sunday night. Let me know if you want anything else, other than the list I have.


So I was trying to get a shot or two but they're coming out too blurry. I'm gonna try to get a shot of my dinner...making pork loin shish kabobs with garden salad on the side. It sucks my mom's not here to have it with me though.


So what are everyone's plans this weekend?


: )

[Willow87]

Its good that you got some packing done. When the battery to my electric weed eater finishes charging I have to finish the yard. Your dinner sounds so yummy, save me some LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

No problem Cam...if you have to go get some work done. I understand.


Yes, I hope dinner turns out as well as I plan. Might make some garlic bread to go with it.


Still trying to get a few shots while I make the salad. Be back soon...


: )

[Willow87]

I love garlic bread, its been a while since I've eaten some. I had a good salad earlier in the week, with sunflower seeds in it

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Mmmmmm, I love nuts in my salad...and cereal too!


I took a shot of my dinner tonight and posted it in the dinner thread, if you wanna see Cam. I actually had two kabob's but there's only one showing in the shot. Boy am I full. No room for the garlic bread...or dessert!


So yeah, I was thinking about taking a few more shots for the aero-garden thread, if I can get them right...


: )

[Willow87]

Wow Sherry that looks so good! I had a hamburger for dinner but I wish i had one of those kabobs instead, and that salad looks so yummy! I was looking through the dinner thread and I saw so much yummy food. Maybe when I have peppers I'll make some stuffed peppers.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Cam! They were so good. Wish we could share the food we post. That JaNan's a heck of a cook!


In fact, if she were my neighbor, I'd be finding a whole whack of excuses to knock on her door at dinnertime!


If I had any ripened hot peppers, they would have been on the kabobs too. Soon I'll have lots of them.


I love stuffed peppers, Cam.


If you make them, be sure to take pics. I make mine differently than most people do. One day I'll show shots and give out my own personal recipe.


I'm still waiting on some pepper seeds, but they didn't come yet. I was going to post in my new thread called "what new seeds did you get". Maybe next week.


Not sure how much longer I'll be with you guys. Going out with a friend for a bit but hopefully be back later. Where's JaNan these days?


Not sure just yet when I'm leaving but if I sign off abruptly, you'll know why.


: )

[MissStress]

Thanks Sherry! I totaly look forward to playing in the dirt! How do you think cuttings would fair in the mail? I am not sure what I am looking for.. was just wondering about that...

Plans for the weekend include, packing, cleaning, new owners are coming for final walk-thru and we're seeing off the Monster-In-Law tomorrow. So much to do!!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've had success with cuttings that came as far away as Turkey and they thrived for me!


A couple years ago I was mailing sprouted seedlings to the US and they made it to everyone alive and well!


Sending cuttings and seedlings in Canada is too easy.


So I hope the move goes well and you and your husband arrive safely in British Columbia. Are you moving to Vancouver, Trina?


: )

[Willow87]

I was playing a computer game with my mom a minute ago. We both love the hidden object games. Janan's food did look very good. I've never made stuffed peppers before but i really want to try. A friend of my mom's made some stuffed jalapenos
