[john_ny]

Gotcha. When you said you job was done, I thought you were leaving the org, or something.

[oldhippie01]

No no, just a little quip. I use those occasionally just to see if anyone is paying attention, LOL.........Hippie

[ShearMe]

I just cant wait for spring break, when I can do some planting!

[oldhippie01]

I remember that feeling Zac. I Retired from David Weekly Homes, up in the North Texas area in Aug. of 2005. I sold my Acre and House up in Krum Texas and Bought down here in Central Florida, near the Grandchildren. My Peach Tree is in full Bloom, I have started easing my Bananas,( Raja Puri and Cavendish), out of Dormancy and planted twenty Thornless BlackBerry plants,( which are blooming profusely and putting on Fruit). I haven't put my Tomatoes out yet, but the Raised Bed is ready, with Soaker Hose installed, covered with a solid sheet of heavy Linoleum, to hold the moisture up in the Root zone in our Sandy Soil.
My Daughter still lives up in Krum, so I have been getting reports on your severe Weather. Order more Seed Catalog's,LOL...........Hippie

Howdy, Gang!!!


Hope you guys are keeping well. Been super busy lately but hopefully will have more time soon.


I bought an Aero-Garden grow light kit today and I might start a thread about it. It's still in the box and I have to read the instructions tonight but it looks pretty cool. No soil is used at all and the plants apparently grow twice as fast as they do in a medium. We'll see...


So Hippie...that was pretty funny, but only because I'm not from any of those places. If I was, you might have heard a thing or two from me, and in no uncertain terms either.


So ah, am I the only one around? I might post for a bit. Leaves are growing on my weeping pussy willow tree now!


It's freezing as anything here in London these days but lots of sunshine, thankfully.


Chat soon...

I think it won't be any better than growing plants in soil for you. You can only give a plant so much love without killing it. The reason hydroponic kits grow plants better is that it automates a lot of stuff. But a nurturing gardener like you probably won't get bigger plants because your plants are well cared for already.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Maybe I'll discover I never want to grow in soil again!


Anyway, thanks Tom! I'm looking forward to checking it out and getting the aero-garden planted. I'll likely be up have the night...gardening in the middle of winter!


I'll show shots soon but I still gotta read the instruction manual. It says it's easy and you don't have to know a thing about gardening. It comes with seeds and nutrients and everything to get it going right away. Too cool.


So how are things Tom? I've missed chatting with you guys.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Well Dean...I figured instead of replying to your pm, I'd just answer here because others will likely want to know too...


As to where I've been ???


None of your damn business!


Teasing of course, but the truth is I've been busy with many personal matters and wasn't around much to chat. Hope that will change now because I truly have missed you guys.


Yes Dean, it appears pretty quiet around here these days. Where is everyone?
Spring is coming!


Gonna go read about my new aero~garden system and set it up but I'll be around still. Likely be up half the night, truth be told!


Anyone have insomnia tonight?


Pop in and say 'hi'...

I've been bummed with this cold weather. I have cabin fever and am really crabby right now. I've got a lot of my plants damaged by this weather, and I am working on taxes. Bah Humbug!

Okay Sherry, truth is I have had to much coffee. So maybe a little insomnia tonight. Glad your still in one piece. What is an aero~garden...do tell more?

[Jananas Bananas]

I use Tax Act. I've stopped for the night because I have to dig through some files and just don't want to mess with it any more tonight. ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Ok check out my new thread Dean, and you'll see what it is...

Maybe I should have used that one, JaNan. Could have saved some $.

[Jananas Bananas]

I have used them for the last 7 or 8 years. I buy the deluxe version and do the taxes for several family members. I do recommend it. ~J

Hey Sherr, good to see you back! Yes, I know what you mean, but then I am qualified. I was Born in Louisiana, raised in Mississippi and having been in Construction most of my life,( with a few years off, to Drive 18 Wheelers), I have been to every State ,( Except Alaska). That being the case, it has been my personal experience that there are a "few" of those characters in every State, but without doubt more prevalent in the ones mentioned. As for "Alaska", while the Pictures are beautiful, I am NOT going anywhere that gets colder than "Fargo North Dakota", LOL. There is nothing between there and the North Pole but a two Strand, Barbed Wire fence, and the top Strand of that is broken,LOL. IF, however,( thanks to "Global Warming"), Zone 4, becomes Zone 9, then Maybe.

BTW, I'm 71 Today!! Wooo Hooo!!!

[drew leonard]

Happy, Happy Birthday Hippie!

[oldhippie01]

Thank you very much Drex, I'm just happy to have lived this long, it's been quite a Trip. All I want is twenty nine more them become "Fertilizer" for my Banana's, or Bamboo,( I haven't decided yet).........Hippie
