We had freaky huge hail storm this afternoon.
Love your box Susie. And that hat, best hat I have ever seen. My box hopped off today so if you hear ribbits, you might want to check the front stoop.
Darn, Cindy, I hope your house and vehicles are OK.
Yea they are but I'm afraid my plants are going to freeze. There is nothing i can do now to protect them. Had no idea this was coming
Freaky weather indeed, Cindy, for CA. Ugh! I lived there almost 40 years and don't remember even one hailstorm where I was. And I was up in Nor Cal in Redding (fairly close to where you are) for 17 years. :(
Susie, I'm glad you liked everything. (I almost kept the hat - oops.) If ya'll don't eat Swiss Chard and Cardoon, they are quite hardy and make beautiful ornamental plants around the yard and gardens as well.
^_^
Me too on the chard, Kris. Love the stuff. I think you'll want the Cardoon even just for the ornamental value and they are perennial in your zone and heavy reseeders (can get out of control at times). This variety can get 6 ft. tall and will grow in clay soil without much supplemental water. I can send you some seed once you're ready for it. :)
OH MY 6 FT Really carol ??? not for me though right. if so i will plant it out inn the flowerbed so i can make shade for other plants :) way cool won't have to plant a tree ;) yes i love the swiss chard also , but with being on coumadine i'm nnot allow to much green foods .
I Have lots of HORSERADISH PLANTS anyone want any ? the leaves get about 3ft tall & they are pretty as a back ground plant .
well back to my rocks
I think that tall for you too, Susie. But may not be perennial there like it is here. I just don't know.
Yes, you have to watch some things if you are on blood thinners, for sure, I know. I grow the Swiss Chard as an ornamental plant as well ... in a perennial border or wherever it can be tucked into the landscape. It is so pretty with the red stalks. Very decorative. It will tolerate some shade but not full shade. That variety is super hardy and will be perennial for you too, I think, until it bolts to seed (usually 2nd or 3rd year here). I hate to say for sure in different climate zones. YKWIM.
THIS IS MY HORSERADISH BUT IT GETS UP TO ABOUT 3-4FT TALL PENDING ON THE WEATHER WE HAVE
can anyone tell me what this plant is ??? pic 2
Ralph got a small bonus check so we get to eat this week...lol I am still shell shocked at the price of deposits for utilities here.
Susie would love some horseradish,,, maybe later??
Sure thing on the Cardoon seeds too!! I will be tilling up a bed in about 3 weeks I hope. I need to plot a layout for the beds too. So much work.. wish ya'll were close by,, sure could use some help!!
Kris, just holler when you're ready for the seeds. Or I can go ahead and send them, if you'd like. :)
Look at all those hoppers going crazy here in the 'Garden'. So cool love them all. The tree frogs here are already driving everyone nuts. I think I'm the only one in the area that sits outside to listen to them.
How do you cook swiss chard? I've never had it.
Susie, doesn't horseradish get out of hand for you? I heard it does, so I've never planted it.
roby as far as mine it has not the roots will travel to china so don't grow it by a house but i have it out in my back yard it dose great . eah year i do have a few more sprouts but them that is ok for i share it every year also.
well super over brother is home so off to the outdoors to move plants around before the rain tonight .
Hop, Hop, Hop,
Just can't Stop.
Hop, west, Hop Fast.
Hop, Hop, Hop.
Here I hop, Save me bugs,
I'll be hungry when I get there....
Hop, Hop, Hop
I'm gonna wear My hopper out.
Carol .... does well in clay soil you say? I'd love some if it does!
DJ .... I'd also like some horseradish if you have enough. What is it's light requirement?
Cindy ..... so sorry about the hail! Hope your plants pull through!
Great boxes you girls have received. I think I can get mine finished up tomorrow to mail Monday!
We got 1 3/4" of rain last night. I'm so glad we are having a wet spring. We sure needed it after last summer! At least the ponds and lakes will get filled back up, I hope. And not have the flooding we had a couple years ago. More chance of rain tonight, but nothing showing up on the radar right now.
We had our "Family Day" today. Cooked out burgers and dogs. Everyone brought stuff. Sooooooooo good! DH took the 3 yo DGD for a ride on the donkey. Everyone was following her around taking pictures and video's. It was like her own little entourage. sp? She is the only grandchild/neice so far on his side of the family, so she is pretty spoiled, but very good. Then I was saddleing the horses so his sister and I could go ride, and she wanted to ride my horse too. So I put a little pillow in front of me and she went riding with us too. She loved it! And of course, so did I!!!!!!!!!
DH and I are going to work on my new flower bed out by the road tomorrow. Have to gather up some more big rocks for it. Sure hope not too many people help themselves to a bouquet now and then. lol I don't mind sharing, as long as they leave the plants and some for me. tee hee I'm really not worried here in our little 'family of neighbors'. Everyone would share anything they had!
Been offline for several days and a bunch more posts to read up on. Can't wait to see the froggies land in their new home so we can see!
ROFL @ Charleen!!!!!! You are a hoot!
Crit, the cardoon seeds are what you want?
The Frog swaps are my favorite swaps.
What an incredible picture. He is soooo cute and so tiny.
Working today at the office, but did manage to get my buddies package for the frog swap Friday evening, sorry you are going to get only one frog but I had to get it..... now how to mail and hope it gets there in one piece....this part I hate, I always have regrets when I get ready to mail on what I have bought....it is never easy to cram stuff in a box.
Winds are horrible here....but nothing like the tornados the folks got....
Nothing wrong with one fine fat frog. :-)
Yep, I have mailing anxiety too. Just about every time. You'd think I would have resolved that by now. Not. :-D
It was very windy here this morning but died down now. Maybe your wind means we'll have more in a little while. :(
Me too. I never know if package is going to be in one piece or many pieces...
So We got to Think good thoughts when we mail our beloved frogs out to the new owners...
I have learned to NOT put FRAGILE on the package. For some reason when you put fragile on the boxes it encourages the idiots to play football with them. But I do make sure it doesn't rattle either!!!
I played it safe.. I bought something made out of METAL for my buddy .. ^_^
Chris you are a smart woman...rofl...
Good thinking. :-D
