81?!!! Wow, that's warm!


Not to worry Tommy...your strawberry plant will be ok inside too. Bet you can't wait for fruits.


See my Venus Flytrap?





I've kept it going for three months now. Two of those months it was at the cottage. It's even caught a couple gnats. It's sending up new traps from the center of the plant constantly.

LOL yes its unusually warm here, I'm ready for the cold weather. Your venus fly traps look great. I had one of those a few years ago and I killed it after a couple of weeks

Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

Thanks, Cam. I sure hope I can keep it going over the winter too. I kept one alive once for over a year. I give it nothing but spring water.


Wonder if a venus flytrap plant would thrive in the A-G since they naturally grow in bogs. Now there's an idea. I'm afraid to kill mine though so not sure if I'll try it until I come across a 2nd plant somewhere.


Glad I stayed home today because it's raining now. Tomorrow is supposed to be super sunny.

It is pretty happy right now, that's for sure. I have it in a deep glass vase with a lid over half of the top. It's such a cute plant. I try not play with the traps too much because they die quicker if you do and it takes a lot of the plants' energy. It's caught a few gnats I noticed a couple times though. Must be why I never see any around.


I'm reading my camera manual and loading pictures...

I saw some for sale at Lowe's the other day. I need something like that by my houseplants because I'm starting to see gnats again. I read that peroxide and water kills the larva in the soil so I'm going to try that to see if the gnat population declines

Those blasted gnats are giving you trouble again, eh Cam? Good luck with the peroxide mix.

That's my blog.

I keep going to your blogs but I can't find how to subscribe anymore. The bar on the top of the page is gone and under the followers there's nothing....

Setting up a blog is actually pretty easy. There should be vieos about it also, maybe youtube it and see what comes up.

It reached about 45 degrees at 4PM today

Ok I think I figured out how to follow a person`s blog. Go on their blog and click `join this site` at the bottom. Then it asks if you want to follow. I just joined Tommy`s blog.


It`s easy Cam. I knew nothing either. Just click on my blog and then I think it gives you the option to sign in and create a blog of your own.


I just finished releasing a new post on my blog.

Sherry, my Little Blue is only an inch and a half tall. Should I pinch off those buds? Surely it cannot make peppers that tiny can it? I am so worried about it, since I have really had to struggle just to get one past the sprouting stage!!! It hasn't grown taller though it has put on a few more leaves.

That Venus Fly trap is very cool. I have had them before but I always kill them.

I believe it got to 89 here today. We are actually supposed to get some rain tomorrow!!!!

ya you can't post unless you sign in. That depends on the blogger's settings.
On my blog below my picture it should say join this site.

Making a blog is simple with blogger.com Everything is setup for you as templates, but you can also go and edit the code if you want so it is very flexible.

Sherry, make sure to activate google analytics so you can see when you get traffic, from where, what times, where they are viewing ..... It is a google product. So you use the same login as you use for blogger.

The first blossoms may fall off anyway Janan, so don't worry. All pepper plants get buds on them when they're "too small", so don't worry about it and just watch the show. The plant will continue to grow and get more leaves, branches and buds. It sure is a cutey, Janan.


Oh I thought you were on the same sight as Tommy and I are on, Jordan. I find it pretty easy and straightforward for the most part. I'm just new at it but I'm learning as I go along. I like how easy it is to post shots too.


Ok Tommy, I'll check it out. Not sure I know exactly what you mean yet.


Cool that Bob posted in the aero-garden thread today, eh? He's growing all of my hot pepper varieties I sent him. I gave him one called Fluorescent Purple, Janan....but I lost track of it. I'll get some seeds back from Bob for us. You'll love it!!!

Google analytics is a powerful tool to see how your site is viewed in cyber space. Blogger has its own tracking service which is probably good enough for most people.

I myself am learning SEO, Search engine optimization , and finding ways to create more traffic to my blog and my website.

I'd say disregard my google analytics idea unless you are trying to make a business or money from your blog. Sorry about that.
