Hi everyone, sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. I've been busy for the last few days, and I'm helping my mom and sister bake and cook a few things that can be refrigerated.

Glad nothing bad happened

I am watching videos of Maru the cat

[Willow87]

No I'm alright. I didn't mean to worry everyone.

Hi,
I got your stuff today Sherry Thanks again

You sent me little blue peppers, marble hot peppers, dwarf marigolds, microtoms, and the sponges. So I put marble and little blue peppers in my AG.

Hi Guys!

Gosh Cam you had us a little worried - but I guess turn about is fair play right? I remember now that you told us you were going into major cleaning mode and major cooking mode for Thanksgiving. I know that is exhausting!

Great you received your stuff from Sherry, Jordan. She really gets mad at her postal service sometimes. Hope your peppers do as well as in your AG as ours have done!

Cam did you ever start any of those Mexican Bird of Paradise? I just started a seed in the AG this morning. I hope I have as good of luck with it as I had with the last one. I moved the last one outside since it grew so large. It has lost it's leaves but the stem is still very green so I think it just did it out of protest. I think they lose there leaves in the winter anyway. Guess I will know this coming Spring if it made it or not. I started one of the palm seeds too! A palm tree in an AG! How about that?

Hi Janan. I just got back from the grocery store because my sister wanted some red wine to go with Thanksgiving dinner. We finished the cheesecakes, 2 other cakes and now the buttermilk pound cake is finished. We still have to bake the apple pie and the lemonade pie and then tomorrow will be the rest of the food for dinner.
I did start the Mexican Bird of Paradise, the seeds are swollen but none have any roots yet. I remember an old friend had one growing in her yard and it actually came back every year, she lived a little further north. I still havent seen any signs of life with the palm seeds. I can't wait to see a palm tree in an AG

I am making chocolate peanut butter balls

The mail services here are really taking a dive to the worse end also....

JaNan,
In response to your post 4 days ago. Most of the stuff in my basement is dead again. I still have a few garlic plants alive, the dragon fruit is doing well, my SDC is still alive. What I should do is make an office down there so I go down there every day. I tend to only go to my basement once a week or so.

I've been busy with video games the last month or so. Now I think I can finally spend more time here.

I really miss everyone here there is generally always good conversation gong on.

[Willow87]

I love peanut butter, but I'm the only one in my family that likes it.

[Jananas Bananas]

Ummmm.....chocolate peanut butter balls, do they taste like Reese's Pieces? Lemonade Pie sounds yummy too. Does it have a bite to it like Key Lime Pie? Datura seeds take a loooong time to germinate, so if you haven't given up on them yet - give them more time!

I've got to make some stuff this evening too. We will be taking a bunch of stuff over to my daughter's house. This will be her first year to host, they all usually come over here. Greg's making two pumpkin cheesecake pies and the Waldorf salad. I will be doing the sweet potatoes, pea salad, and stuffing.

Tom that might be a good idea, an office there so you can keep an eye on everything. Are your kids going stir crazy yet, or have they been able to get outside a little bit?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving! I'll post in my thread from last year shortly.


Got some shots today that I'm loading now...


Your Palm seed sounds great, Janan!


Cam, so great to 'see' you again. Sounds like you guys are putting on quite the spread! Wish I was coming for dinner.


Jordan, I can't beleive you got the seeds from me!!! I thought it would surely be another week yet! It's near Christmas too so they're usually extra slow. So glad you got them and that you sowed a "little blue" hot pepper seed!!! Oh boy you're gonna love it. Enjoy!


Nice to see you too, Tom. Great to hear you'll join us more. We sure miss ya.


Tommy, I haven't got your seeds yet, but don't worry. Snail mail takes forever!


Did someone mention peanut butter balls?! Omg I love them!


Chat soon...


: )

[Willow87]

I may make the lemonade pie another time. Everyone is tired and we still have to make the rest of food tomorrow. The buttermilk pound cake tastes really good . pumpkin cheesecake sounds really good. It sounds like you are going to have a nice dinner Janan. Me and my family usually have dinner without any relatives., though we do get invited to a few Thanksgiving dinners. Its just too stressful to drive to relatives houses

[Willow87]

Sherry I didn't see your post. My mom and sister are tired already so we are going to wake up early in the morning to cook the rest

[jreidsma]

The peanut butter balls are exactly like reeses peanut butter cups! I love them, can't wait to eat them later

I already have mold on my AG I sprayed the heck out of it with peroxide

Are the "little blue" the little blue pot ones you sent me a year or so ago?

I have tried black marble peppers, if they are similar also to what you sent me. That was a couple years ago also though.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Um, what's your address again, Cam?!


Check out my street photography shots. I'm loading more now...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

You might want to cut some circles out of paper to block some of the light from the sponges, the algae will be next and I hate the algae! At least the peroxide makes the mold go away immediately (though it comes back fast).

Yeah we will have a big spread. We are going to have fried turkey this year. That's why we aren't having it at my house. We don't have a turkey fryer and that is how my son in law wanted to try it.

Sherry that is the only reason you and your Mom didn't get an invite this year - not having it here!!!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh and Jordan, they could very well be but I can't recall offhand. Sounds likely though. They're super colorful. Check out my blog sometime and you'll see shots of 'little blue'.


: )

[jreidsma]

I'll check it out soon

You sent me aurora also they where colorful also

Posted about peanut butter balls

EDIT:
Just checked out your blog post, I have never had little blue peppers before Something else new for me to try out

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh you're gonna love them Jordan. They are just too pretty...like Janan's "Marble" variety.


I'll check out the dinner thread now. Sorry I'm so slow. Have a few things on the go here.


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh an check out this thread from last year too. I just posted in it and you might get a chuckle...


Happy Thanksgiving, America!
