Insomnia Thread...

[MissStress]

Very kind and generous of you Sherry! I look forward to getting my hands dirty and posting lots of pics soon!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh cool, I'll look forward to seeing shots of your stuff growing later.


Yes, it's very cool that my mom's moved now. Her place is totally beautiful and I think I'm going to be moving into the exact same building!!!


It's rainy and dark here, so I don't think I'll be hitting the beach today. My mom and I were gonna take a shoreline walk today but it's just too cold and yucky out.


I'm hungry now and was thinking of making some grub. Not sure what yet...maybe soup.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Just got on here! How's everyones Sunday so far?

No Sherry, no seeds yet. I'm hoping tomorrow since my others came on a Monday. And I am SO glad you got a new memory card!!!

Trina, I have made moves like that, but add on a horse trailer and two trips with it because it was a two horse trailer and we had thee at the time that we had to move (and subtract the motorhome). Always an adventure!

Cameron, I've been seeing all your little babies popping! Looks like you are having great luck!!!

Tom, I love your wife's Mother's Day present! That is the "Spring" (AKA Easter) cactus right?

I need to load some pictures to my favorite threads. I'll be back! ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi JaNan!


I'm disappointed, but my camera wouldn't accept the new memory card either!


I'm getting it replaced but I could be without Camera for 4-6 weeks!


I think I might look into renting one until my new one arrives though because I can't go that long without having one. In the meantime, until they send me the shipping box, it's back to one picture at a time.


Sorry you guys, but that's how it goes sometimes. At least I'm not without a computer!


I just took a half decent shot I'm gonna post in aero-garden today...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh and Cam...


You mentioned in another thread that a couple of your castor bean seedlings croaked over. It could be damping-off bacteria at work, especially if the soil isn't sterile.


Glad for you that one is growing strong though.


: )

[Willow87]

Luckily I still have the one and they may be enough. I just hope I can seeds from it before the year is over. Once it warms up I think I'll plant my sunflowers in the ground. Some have 4 leaves on them now. Thanks Janan. I'm so glad it didnt take as long as my Blue Passion flower. I look forward to eating the fruit

Fair to middlin'!

We're going to look like the Clampetts heading south! Just need to make sure we add the rocking chair to the top of the motorhome.. heh heh

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm gonna grow one on my mom's enormous balcony and I can bring it inside if it's threatened by frost before it's completed it's seed development. I can send ya more later if yours doesn't make it, Cam. Good luck with it though.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Cam these are for you! This is my "Red Lion" amaryllis. I took a picture of it this morning and the flowers were all still closed. Went out a few minutes ago and one was near fully opened. Kind of late for Spring bloomers but better late than never! My camera doesn't do reds well with flash - it is a much deeper red than what is showing!



There are still three other buds:



Sherry that sucks about your memory card. Didn't you say your other one broke? What if there is a tiny fragment inside your camera preventing these cards from working?

The Clampetts! Too funny! Be sure and take pictures for us!!! ~J

[Willow87]

Those are beautiful pictures Janan! I just love amaryllis. Thanks again Sherry for the offer. Hopefully The one will survive

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Here are JaNan's mystery hot peppers today...





Wonder what they are, JaNan. I hope they're hot!


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Don't know, Sherry! They don't look like anything I've had! Would you consider them a dwarf or full size or.......? That color green is nearly neon - very pretty! You've got some sort of hybrid. They LOOK HOT!

Thanks Cameron! ~J

You got it on the nose!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It's looks like a real nice one, Tom. Be sure to show it when it blooms. Love the purple pot!


I think it would be a much bigger pepper plant JaNan, if I didn't have 3 of them stuffed into one tiny pot. It's not a dwarf plant though. The one beside it has identical fruits but they are a much lighter green color. I bet they'll be great tasting and super hot...just what I'm looking for.


I'll definitely have to freeze some of them because I'm going to have a lot of them very soon.


Well, I just printed the shipping label to mail my camera back free of charge. I can ship it back to them anytime but I hate being without a camera. Are there places that you can rent a digital camera from? If so, I'd like to go rent one and them ship this one back.


They said they'll let me know when they receive my camera, exactly when the gift card will be mailed out so I can go and "re-buy" a new camera to replace the old one. So weird to me, but I guess this is how they do it. I'm just grateful to be gettng a brand new camera. I don't even think there's anything wrong with this one really, but I think the little lock from the old memory card is stuck down inside the slot from when it fell off. Now the card won't fit properly.


Last night too, I bought a way bigger memory card and an adorable pink camera case that's the exact same color as my camera. Being a girly girl, I love matching stuff like that.


So how's everyone's Sunday evening going?


: )

Hey Tom, I have a Raja Puri that I nursed through the Winter,( outside) and didn't let it Freeze and after only five leaves it is rewarding me with a Fruit Flower, which means Ripe Fruit by August! My question is that while watching Video of a Commercial Plantation down in South America, I noticed that they placed a Plastic Bag over their Fruit Stalks that allowed air to circulate, but prevented pest to get at the newly forming fruit. I had a problem with that last year with my Cavindish, after five or six Hands the Honey Bees, Yellow Jackets and other Bugs showed up and the new fruit started dropping onto the ground. So, do you know where I could purchase some of those Bags, or where I might look?

Thanks, Kirk.....

[Jananas Bananas]

Just eating supper right now! Bratwurst sausage and roasted onion off the grill and baked potato with butter and CoJack sprinkle cheese. Forgot to take a picture tonight, sorry.

Oh, I see you have to send the camera to them. That sucks! So you think it is something on the inside too.

Sherry, the only tall pepper I've ever owned is my Black Pearl. Maybe it is a sport of that and the little chili pepper one. It looks like the fruit will be long and slender. It sure didn't get any of the purple coloring did it?

Hey Hippie, where have you been? We have missed you! ~J

[tbaleno]

I was sorry to hear that the new memory card didn't work and that you had to return your camera.

My weekend is going okay. One of my pepper plants seem to have sprouted

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Kirk...how ya doing?!


I was just mentioning you to JaNan the other day and wondered where you disappeared to. So great to 'see' you again and please don't be a stranger.


I haven't actually returned it yet Tom, and I'm reluctant to, until I can see if I can rent another one first. I hate that I will be without a camera for a bit. Makes me want to just go buy a cheapy one, for times like this when I might need it. Not sure yet when I will ship it, but I'll see what I can do first about still having use of a camera while I'm waiting for the gift card to go buy the new one.


I'll be so bored with no camera...it'll be no fun for me either. Hoping they'll be fast. Yes JaNan, I think something's jammed in there and that's why the card won't fit in the slot now. I can't get it out and the guy at the store tried to and failed also.


I'm gonna go take another picture...while I still can.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yep she sure did, were your ears burning hippie?

Sherry, I know we will all be bored if we can't see you pictures every day!!! I don't know of anybody that rents cameras, but you might try some camera shops. It never hurts to ask. Shoot some of those inexpensive cameras take better pictures now than my Professional Ricoh that I bought several years ago for a POTLOAD of change. That might be your best bet. You could always let your Mom or one of your friends use it after you get a new one with your gift card.

I think I would work all that out before I shipped it off too! ~J

[tbaleno]

Kirk, are these the bags you are talking about? 1.25 mil Food Bags at Lowest Wholesale Prices - Universal Plastic
