Enjoy being logged on while it lasts. We're a sinking ship, guys!

[Jananas Bananas]

We are all posting really short messages so we don't have to sit on them all day!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I know! I'm afraid to write my usual novels because we could be zapped at any moment!


I'm getting tired but not quite ready for sleep just yet...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

I just posted here and it did not post. I am not going to repeat it in case it shows up later! ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

JaNan, you're never up this late!!! Wtf?


Get to bed, woman!


I'm heading there shortly...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yeah, I do need to get ready for bed. I've been getting up at 4 or 4:30 every morning for a while and that sure isn't a lot to go on. Nite everyone! ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good Afternoon, People!


How's your Sunday going?


Mine's going good. I've got some soup on the stove heating, and I'm just kinda hanging around today.


Chat soon...

Hi Sherry and everyone. It was a nice day today. It was in the 70s and there's a nice breeze outside. I opened up all the windows

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I only wish it was window opening time here!


You're so lucky, Cam.


Nice to see you popped in to say hi...one of the few members left who's not invisible!


So do you still think my weeping pussy willow is nice, even though it's a stump now?!...





It was hard to cut it back but I knew it had to be done.


How's your Sunday going, Cam? Kinda quiet around here these days. So great you're enjoying nice weather!

Hi Sherry its going to be spring-like the rest of the week. I think it made it to 72 today and there a nice breeze. I think mid week its going to be 74. Alot my plants froze back from the single digit temps. My Cherry Laurels and my fringe bush were hit the hardest. Even my sweet autumn sage froze back. I'm going to trim alot of plants tomorrow. I just love that little tree, the catkins are so pretty and unique. I heard they are incredibly easy to root. It still looks attractive, and i love the new growth. My Sunday has been pretty good. I just went to the store twice, once to get groceries and the second time to get some Epsom salt for my plants. How has yours been?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

My day's been pretty good...mostly just hovering over my new aero-garden, waiting for sprouts!


I love the weeping willow tree too Cam...it's just so damn interesting and it's always doing something of interest. I am very excited to share it with others so we can all experiment and have fun with it.


I might try to wind a growing and rooted branch around a metal stake to train it to be a tree with a weeping top! How cool would that look?!


Good you got out today for a bit. I got out briefly too, picking up some milk. Now I'm deciding what to make for dinner...


Gonna be around tonight I think, for the most part. Might be sowing a few more pepper seeds and showering a few plants but that's about it.


Anyone ordering or sowing any seeds lately? It's that time of year, to sow your seeds and get your seedlings ready to be planted out this season. I am still growing things even though I won't be doing much outdoor gardening this year. I won't be completely without though and my new place will be great once I get there.


It's kind of mild here today and the snow's melting just a bit. I think next week might be warmer still.

I saw your aero garden on Plant swap. I have been curious about those. I think that would be so cool to see. I'm going to look for a persimmon tree this year. I'm really interested in growing one. My mom had one in her yard when she was a kid and she said the fruit tastes really good. I just love the fall color too

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm just listening to some tunes Howard & Mitchel posted in the music thread. I have a couple windows open. This song is French but it's kinda cool...


So yeah, I have seeds for persimmons and can send them to you!!! The fruit is an acquired taste and it's not really my thing but I'd be glad to give them to you, Cam.


I'm really glad I bought the aero-garden. I've always wanted to get into hydroponic growing, even if just on a small scale for now. I guess people who have had them say they are excellent so we'll see...


Apparently germination is guaranteed so if the seeds don't pop, they'll replace them. I'm hoping to see some little green plants coming up very soon. Cool you saw the thread on PlantSwap...there's one here too!


So I guess it's just us Cam. Did you have dinner yet? I gotta throw something together soon.


: )

[Willow87]

Oh wow how interesting. Wow what seeds dont you have LOL. I would love to grow some persimmons from seed, I'm curious about the fruit. I have read that the fruit tastes better after the first frost. I'm glad to see you got the aero garden I hope you are very successful. I may ask for one on my birthday lol. I had some grilled sausage and potato salad for dinner.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Mmmmm...that sounds so yummy Cam. Wish I had come to your house for dinner. I have a feeling JaNan is having something delicious tonight too.


So in the instructions the aero-garden came with, it says it's foolproof. I just hope I don't have any mold problems because someone mentioned on another site that they did. Things are very wet, so I take the lids off the pods daily for 10 minutes to make sure air circulates and discourages mold from growing. So far so good...


I hope you get one for your birthday, and JaNan too. It would be cool if we all posted shots of our growings in the aero~garden thread! What would you grow in it, Cam?


No problem about the persimmons seeds...I'm pretty sure they're viable too. I gotta get your mailing address in pm real soon...


It's very dry in here...I need some moisturizer. I get itchy dy skin from the electric heating. Gonna go find some cream for my hands and arms...


: )

[Willow87]

It was pretty good. I had made some sausage rigatoni the other day. I grilled the italian sausage and sauteed some garlic. Oh wow i didnt think of that. I dont know what I would grow in it, but I would love to grow something edible lol. I'll have to get your mailing address too. I'll send you mine in a pm. Its been incredibly dry here. My face and hands have been peeling alot. In need to get my plant mister and just spray myself LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Too funny, Cam!


Yeah, I really hate winter for the dryness and itchiness. I just put a whack of moisture cream on so I'm good for about an hour! That's about the truth of it too.


Ok so I threw some beef chunks in a skillet with some sweet onions...a late dinner but better than none at all. I'll make some rice and broccoli to go with it.


Growing edibles in the aero-garden is appealing to me too but I might try flowers sometime just to see how they do. If it really is as great as they say it is, I might buy a system for a friend too...or get another one for myself!


There's an actual aero-garden forum and some members have more than one system with many things growing in them. It's way cool looking at some of the pictures.

There's smaller more inexpensive ones also...mine isn't the only unit. There's also another one that's twice as big as mine is and it's the most pricey but still reasonable.


Good luck...hope you get one!


I'll send ya my address later on but thanks for sending yours for now. I'll write it down in the morning.


: )

[Willow87]

Same here, i have a humidifier but my plants are blocking the path to it lol. I love sweet onions. That sounds so good. The aero gardens I always see in the sales papers are too expensive for me, thats why i look over them lol. I didnt know there were inexpensive ones. I wonder if you could grow strawberries in one. I definitely will ask my family for one, if not for my birthday then for christmas lol. Thanks again Sherry

[The Hollyberry Lady]

You can grow strawberries in your aero-garden Cam, yes!


There is a smaller inexpensive aero-garden for something like 69 or 89 bucks. I think it grows 2 or three plants in it, but I can't be certain. Worth looking into though. I'd love the small one so I could add a tiny garden to some small dark corner somewhere. These things are way cool.


Yeah sweet onions are awesome. Do you have room to grow some? If so, I have a variety called "onion candy" that's literally as sweet as candy! I could send you some of them too.


Gotta stir the beef and onions and add the sweet red pepper I decided to add to it also...
