I have WONDER EGGS!!!!! Split them up into 2 pots and 8 peat pots. I have about 15 up right now.
What the heck are Wonder Eggs, Patti?
Have a great trip, Elfie, and I'll see you at our Round-Up! Can't wait to meet you and my favorite Fairy family :)
You live close enough to come too, Amanda. What gets me are so many plants I lost over the Winter that slowly withered away and am chalking it up to heating with a wood stove again for the first time after several years. I watered every other day or so, maybe I should have watered twice a day?!
Inquiring minds want to know..... what are wonder eggs?
Egg Gourds? Egg Shaped Eggplant? Those plantable eggs they sell at Lowes? LOL
Wonder Eggs make you wander what they are???
Elfie, do not worry bout me, I have more than I can handle, please take a chill pill for us all. Everything will be just great for you!
Ohh, cute lil seedlings!
Wonder Eggs are the plants seeds I got Crit for the Easter Suprize swap. I belive they are related to the eggplant family. and they grow it be yellow and white egg looking fruits.. Hard to explain. We will all just have to watch Crits plants as they grow!!,,,heehee.
So I have 3 more days to get everything done. That includes getting the house ready for me to be gone for 6 weeks!! Then I will be home for a week and then gone for 3 then home again for a week. and that is my schedual for the next 2 years!!
The RVV was delivered today and I am in love with it. I overdid things today and am in flat out pain!! Have lots to do tomarrow,, going to bed in a few,,,
Huggs to all
Elfie!
LOL .... it is a plant, similar to egg plant, that elfie got me for our Easter swap. It's called a Wonder Egg and the fruits are edible. I'll let you know and post pictures if I can keep them alive to be a real plant. ^_^
Cute little plant. Amazing.
I've seen pictures of those, they are pretty cool!
I know it's not related to eggs but it is related to ornamentals and holidays but have you seen Pumpkins on a Stick? I want to get some for my best friend for Halloween ^_^
Pumpkins on a stick? Have any pictures, Ang?
Park Seeds has a photo: http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/51648/
They are an ornamental egg plant ^_^
They are sooooo cute!
Wow, Ang...that is really different and cute, too! I've never seen anything like that before - I'm going to have to get some of those seeds. I've seen the Wonder Eggs plant before that Elfie was talking about and they are really neat looking. Have fun growing those, Crit. I hope you post pictures as it's growing.
Thanks plantsforpeg for my box of plants. I am sorry I am so late posting. I have been in a tailspin for several weeks. I got the box last Friday or Saturday and took them out and got them in soil. I did not realize till I was reading through here that I should make a picture, but it was a great group of plants. This past weekend my daughter was visiting. She came to help me with a birthday party I was giving my sister on Sunday. It was my sister's 75th birthday and about 60 people came. You can imagine... I am not used to this kind of entertaining and well....Maybe things will settle a little now. I want to play with my plants more.
I got
Peach colored kalancheo (Did not have that color)
ornamental Cuban oregano (my daughter wanted to know if it was edible. I said I doubted it)
strawberry Begonias (I planted right away)
string of bananas (Never had this before)
Ghost plant (my mother-in-law used to have a giant pot of this and it lived outside in South Alabama)
jasmine vine (will this live outdoors-I do hope I can get it to grow.I put it in a pot for now)
Thanks so much for all the nice surprises! I look forward to doing this again.
I can see I need to check in more frequently than I do. Can anyone tell me how to bookmark this and keep up with it? Each time I have to go back to the original email and go through all this to get to the most recent end. I will be on the fringes till I can get a handle on how to keep up.
Goldhill,
look at the top of this thread and you will see some options at the top. One is "WATCH THIS THREAD" Click on that and everytime someone posts a comment it will pop up at the top of the home page.
My box is going out tomorrow, I gave up and got a triangle box from the po......nothing is tall enough I can find.
Gotcha wondering don't I...rofl......
Still terrible cold in the morning here. Hate having all this nice weather thru the week. I need it on Saturday for our plant sale.
I need to start some of those pumpkins on a stick that would be cute for the planter I take care of in our Master Gardener group this fall.
Crit keep us posted on the "wonder" of it all...rofl...
you can then click on skip to new at the right side just above the first post and it will take you to where you left off
I will be sure to post pics of the the Wonder Eggs. I hope they keep growing and I don't kill them all! Don't have real good luck with seeds a lot of the time. Surely at least one or two will make it to adulthood!
Mud-Elf, that would be great! sorry you are having to go thru all this moving. This is the worst thing that can happen to a plant person I think.
Gagirl, thanks for the tip, and you, too,Crit
Well I have to tell ya'll this. Ralph and I have been together for 27 years and we have never lived alone for the entire time we have been together. I told hem the other day that we might find our selves on a extended honey moon with this move,,,,, or,,,, we may decide we do not like each othe any more!! He just looked at me like I was absolutely going out of my mine and told me I was a silly little girl,,humf,, at 54 I am definately not alittle girl!!! lol
shhhhhh, don't tell how old we are. ^_^
It is quite possible that you will find it pleasant. He may feel the same. Space is good. You both might regain or gain a feeling you had lost . Or you might find out it is an adventure you do not want to repeat. At any rate, there is no doubt that keeping on the sunny side will help keep everything better. Being brave is hard, but sometimes we have no choice. Good thoughts going your way.
Sorry I've been so lax and quiet! We were out of town over a weekend and our friend/house/dog-sitter accidentally broke our shower and we're working on retiling that as well as redoing our master bathroom...so we have no functional shower right now. Yuck! And then it's off to Houston this weekend...*sigh*
I know I owe Char a picture of the plants in the planter (they're looking soooo much better now) and I still have to send out side-trades. I did update my list with everything that I lost...but will be sending everything else out Monday/Tuesday.
Elfie you take care of yourself and enjoy the time with your DH!!! I don't think anyone can outgrow 'little girl' status. :)
Ang I love that pumpkin on a stick too! It is too cute!
Yo gotta go to a hotel to take a shower!!! Lord, I do know that feeling . ☺☺
It's o.k. Elfie.
I was cleaning up the table where I had all my swap goodies and seed packets spread out. I found a bag of seeds left of people that weren't in the seed swap and I was going to mail out. So, if I owe you seed, you probably will be getting them soon. Careyanna, I know I saw your name.
If I owe anyone any side trades, better tell me now, cuz this wekend is the weekend I am doing up the last of trades for this spring, and then in the fall I will start up again.
Hi all,
I haven't forgotten that I need to take pictures, but I am having camera issues right now. Neither one of my cameras are working and the one that I ordered to replace them isn't coming anytime soon due to the disaster in Japan. Hopefully I will be able to get one this weekend. I have potted up everything, thanks again Roxxanne, so the Konjac bulb will not be seen, but as soon as it rears its lovely head up I will take a picture then too.
Tina
Debra,
I had a couple of your brugs not make it. I'll have to look again and see what they were. I know one was Cupid's Blush. If you don't have any left, that's fine. Maybe next year. Will let you know tonight.
Thanks!
Ok,,,, ok,,, It is better than ok!! I am doing the happy dance here!! Found out that they have AT&T so I can have my DSL there!!! Also can have my puppy Mooch and the lot is huge and I can plant all the plants I want and they will even loan me any tools I need to do the gardening!!!!
Very happy little Elf here.
Wow! Terrific news!!
I knew it would work out!!! Good for you, Elfie!!!
Wow, Elfie - that IS great news! See, it's all gonna work out for you, I'm so glad and so happy for you!
