Not sure what it is but isn't it pretty...





Yeah, Carrie is a good flick too.

It does look very similar to Burning Bush. The fall color hasn't reached me yet, though its mainly yellow or brown.

I will try Xubuntu when I get the chance.

Nice pot Sherry

Glad everything has calmed down now

Yeah, it might be a slower, however, on the plus side packages are created quicker for xubuntu. The plus of debian is it is more solid. So either way. If you get debian installed I wouldn't waste the effort of installing xubuntu.

Hi,
I tested the HD and RAM, both are fine.

I am going to try doing some different things with puppy linux if it will boot from it.

It won't boot from USB either, so I can't go about it that way....

Nice pictures

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Think I'm gonna hit the hay soon. Tomorrow is another day.


Hope everyone had a nice Halloween. Chat soon...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good Morning!


I was just showering all my aero-garden plants and changing the water basins, plus adding more nutes. I find when you change the water regularly, the plants grow better.


So did you guys see my many strawberries in my aero-garden? Here they all are this morning...








Another is ripening.











Can't wait to eat them all! Wish Henry was here. I was planning to share them with him.

Make sure you have enough ram. I had that problem once. System crashed during the install. The system doesn't set up a swap partition until later on during the install.

I swapped the HD with a different 20GB I had. I installed puppy linux 5.3 slacko. And today I decided to give debian install another try.

I put in the debian xfce CD and went to the help screen and tried to find some info. I ended up pressing enter and it is now installing the distro on the computer I think! Hope it works, whatever I did.

Nice strawberries Sorry once again about Henry, he had have a nice life and one of the best owners one could ask for

[Willow87]

Hi everyone. Jordan I got the mother of thousand babies today. thank you so much. They are so cute

[jreidsma]

So I am guessing they arrived ok

Glad you like them Mine are growing a bit also.

[Willow87]

Yes they arrived fine. I have them planted in a community pot. Once they get bigger I transplant them. Thank you again. I showed my mom the babies and she laughed and told me was I going to plant all of them.

[jreidsma]

Hope you have enough room for all of them

Just got Debian installed on my ipaq, so that's solved. Will test it now.

[Willow87]

LOL I hope so too. I sprayed them with some liquid seaweed and water. Just enough to moisten the soil.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Jordan, about Henry. I sure miss that little guy something awful.


Hope you guys are having a good night. Heading to Wal-Mart briefly but be back shortly.


Gonna be eating this little berry tomorrow...





Chat soon...

[Willow87]

Sherry those strawberries look really good. Thats the next thing I want to grow in my aero garden

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm saving lots of seeds from this crop, to share. Alpines seem to do well in the A-G.


Just got home. Hope everyone's having a good Wednesday.


: )

[Willow87]

Do the strawberry seeds need cold stratification to germinate? A cold front is moving in and I brought in most of my houseplants. Friday morning we may see our first freeze here. I hope not. I'm going to cover the rest of my plants with blankets and hope they make it through the cold temps

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I germinated mine, outside of the A-G. Although no cold-strat was necessary I did sow them in cooler weather near an open window. I transferred the seedling into the aero-garden later. What a sucess it is. I'd like to grow another one.


Gonna gobble this one tomorrow morning...





What a treat to have fresh little berries like this! I grew them for Henry too and I was gonna share them. He would have loved them.


So I was just misting my aero-garden plants. The mites are after things and I want to keep them away. I've been cleaning like crazy. Mites hate bleach and cleanliness.


: )

[Willow87]

I think my room is still fairly warm but sometimes it can be the coolest room in the house. I bet Henry would have loved the berries. I've never seen mites and I hope I never will lol. I have had white flies and mealybugs before

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It's because I went away, and couldn't keep as on top of things as I would have liked, when it comes to putting the run to mites. I hate those little bastards!


I've actually grown strawberries for Henry in the past and he always loved them. I've also sprouted seeds and fed him the sprouts, for the nutritional value. He would have very much enjoyed these sweet little Alpine berries. They're really delicious. Wish I could share with him.


I bet you could easily get a strawberry seed to germinate in your bedroom, Cam. You could keep the little pot near the window until you see a sprout.


I guess I spoke too soon, Janan. You asked in email about my little blue plant. It's growing new branches that have buds all over them...some even open! Looking forward to seeing more of those colorful peppers. How's your little blue doing? I forget.


I was thinking of starting some more seeds in some empty pods in some of my A-G systems but not sure what just yet. I gotta go look through some stuff.


Here's an A-G pepper shot I took tonight of 'explosive amber'...
