Insomnia Thread...

Sorry about that. It's rather rude of me if I do say so myself. But if I don't answer the phone, the person keeps calling back incessantly, like a desperate individual.


So um yeah, I was gonna get a shot of the bulb and the seedlings soon.


It took about 2 weeks for the marble seeds to come up. Looks like I've got about 10 sprouts.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Well see now Jordan is gone. He must have gone to bed.

That's OK Sherry. We can figure it out!

10 that's great! You may have to put a couple of fresh seed in my seed request packet since I can't seem to get ANY to sprout. Maybe I should try again in starter soil.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Do you mean marble seeds? I have lots if you need some. They are the ones that are just coming up now. Very fresh and viable.


I sent some to Tommy also.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yes.

I have been trying for two years to get them to sprout without any luck. I even put a paper circle over the last three I started in an AG slot to try and prevent the algae growth. NADA!

Hey did I tell you I am going to try a watermelon in one!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Don't mean to laugh Janan, but nope, you never mentioned a watermelon before! Omg that is too hilarious. What kind will you grow?


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

It's those small round ones, they call them "personal" size here. Shoot I grow trees in them so why not?

[tommyg]

I am trying to grow my pepper seeds in three ways. Just a small experiment.
I have two in growing soil on my bathroom window sill, one in soil in my sunroom and one in 70 percent water and 30 percent soil in my kitchen. I've been using warm water on all of them. I'm hoping something starts to grow in a week. We'll see what works best.

[Jananas Bananas]

Morning!

My pepper seeds in general pop fast in the AG. I think in seed starter they took about two weeks. Are you talking about the Marble seeds from Sherry? They are beautiful plants Tommy. You will enjoy them I think!

[jreidsma]

I'm back

It's not rude to answer the phone, I do it all the time

Except when it's those annoying "toll free" or credit card people. And if I do answer them they don't call back for a while
"Hello, would you like our new credit services, they offer a bunch of crap you don't care about"
Me-"no would YOU like MY credit card services, I offer nothing and you deal with it"
(The conversation continues until one of us don't talk any more and give up)

And then when we have the people that keep calling, but never answer. My mom calls them back and tells them off

I should be generous and send you 11 marigold seeds

Hi Jordan!

Where is Cam? He must be busy on a project or something.

My project for today is tearing down two of my AG's and restarting them. My phlox in one has basically turned into a weed and that is the only plant that is still growing in that one. And the other has my spoon tomato in which will be a little more work because that plant is a monster. I will probably mess it up and it has just started to bloom. It has made such a mess in that corner though and I have to get it cleaned up for the holidays.

[jreidsma]

Good luck with your projects

I am going to plant some pachypodium seeds in a couple minutes. That's pretty much all I have planned for today.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good afternoon!


Hope everyone is having a good day. I was loading some shots of one of my plants that has started to bloom in the last couple days. The fragrance of the blooms is so incredible. I'll post it shortly.


I insist on only 10 seeds, Jordan! I would't want to take advantage of your good nature.


The iPad is on it's way! OTAY!


I was thinking about going downtown this week to get those shots but kind of been procrastinating because I'm nervous about going downtown with my camera. There are a lot of desperate people around and you never know. Maybe I'll wait until my mom goes with me. Two people are better than one. Women have been attached and even shot and killed in downtown London, so it can be a scary place if you're not careful.


Boy am I enjoying that iPad. It's just fabulous. I like when I send emails from it and at the bottom of my note it says "sent from my iPad". I guess iPhone, iPod, and iPad can send imessages to each other. I think we can see each other with our cameras too, if we talk. That will be handy because my aunt likes to webcam and I think she has an iPod.


Ok shots are loaded. Gonna go post them...


: )

[jreidsma]

I haven't used my messaging thing yet on my ipod. I do have text for free and stuff similar though.

There's also a free phone app thing. It lets you call from your ipad and ipod.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

You mean I can make actual phonecalls from my iPad? Now that would be cool. Then you could see the person while you talk to them!!!


I'm just loading iBooks right now. Thought I had done it already but I guess I hadn't. I would love to use my iPad to read books when I'm on the bus or waiting at the doctor's office. It will be really convenient.


The touch screen is really amazing. It weird not having an actual keyboard but I'm getting used to it.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Sherry you should try some audio books. Just stick your earbuds in like you would if you were listening to your music. It is GREAT!

Got one AG soaking in the hot soapy and bleach water now. Two more to go! I decided to do another one while I was at it! I already have the plants in them planted outside. One for sure (the tomato) will have to come in tonight - but it is in the 70's right now going up and nice and sun shiny!

[tommyg]

The stop n shop next to me has cilantro plants for sale $3 and they are 10 inches high. Thinking of buying one lol should I?

[jreidsma]

I have textplus for free texting, and nettalk for phone calls. If you have WiFi you can call and text people, even on real phone!

Just got done planting my Pachypodium Horombense:

I put all the ones that got crushed a bit in one pot, the 2.75" and then of the ones that looked ok, I put them in their own little tiny pot. Those tiny small pots might be 1"?

[Jananas Bananas]

I had a chance to watch the blind kitten videos you posted Jordan. That is remarkable!!! I was watching with tears in my eyes. What absolutely wonderful kitty parents that family must be to adopt a physically challenged animal baby. WONDERFUL!!!

[tommyg]

sorry it wasn't cilantro, but basil. They seemed very healthy and hardy. I might pick one up after work still thinking about it.

[jreidsma]

Hope you possibly new basil plant is nice and healthy

Yes, that is one great cat and kitty parent(s)
