Checking in to save my spot.
Hi LK. I do hope Sooze posts again sometime. I miss her. and I hope everyone has made it through the ice and snow okay.
Has some thing bad happened to Sooze?
She is on Facebook. She never mentioned anything.
I am here too.
I Think The SOOZE Your Chatting about is FRUITY Yes I 'm still around also
Thanks for checking in everyone.
Ok, you are here, and now we need Fruity and Faye, and Nener, and Carolyn and...let me see I know we have friends trading and swapping something, so I am going to post some pics of some things ya all can see if you want any of seeds, or the plant. I am needing to get rid of duplicates. Also, has anyone started a windchime swap yet? Or the Rock swap? This is some red IOCHROMA. It already blooed twice. I have cuttings rooting of it already. oh and where is Kathy?

I'm not on Facebook. I don't think anything bad has happened to Fruity. She just isn't on DG anymore. At least for a long time.
Glad everyone is finding the new thread.
Which Kathy do you mean, Debra?
Beautiful plant Debra. What color is it?
Kathy is going to open the windchime swap sometime in February.
Have not heard anyone mention a rock swap yet. Feel free to open one if you want.

I'll check back in later today off to town for blood draw if i can get out of the drive brothers car is Sunk in the yard :) BBL
Red lochroma
How does Iochroma grow for you. I got one maybe 3/4 years ago and have tried it both in pots and the ground. I overwinter cuttings in pots, but it is a disappointing plant to say the least. It has a few anemic blooms fairly early and then grows poorly the rest of the summer. What am I doing wrong? Is it too hot here? If that is true, why does it not grow better in the greenhouse in winter. Any suggestions welcomed.
Sorry Kris your not feeling well. Get some rest!
So can you believe it no snow for two whole days here. Our driveway actually stayed clean. Tuesday 5 to 8 more inches. Boo. We worked for almost two hours on sunday cleaning the driveway and parking spots. The roads are clean and dry. The sun has been shining today too. So bright outside. Was zero when I left for work at 530 a.m. now it 21. Hope you feel better kris. My dad is sick again maybe double pnumonia? Spelling.
Oh it could be that kris. Hope not for your sake always takes so long to get them.

Cindy has the birdhouse swap open.
Yikes. The snow is so deep on either side of our driveway that would be easy to do. Almlst did it my self several times. Hope he gets out susie.
gee, hope your headache goes away, and all of your family and friends stay healthy and get well fast ya all.
My Iochromas do well for me, they get as tall as a brug does all summer long and then I cut them back.
they sent us home early from the snow.. glad to get it we need the moisture...
It is still snowing and will the rest of the night, that is okk with me too.
Joe shovels the drive and the guys at work bring my car in to deforst before I leave so I am spoiled.
now to get someone to drive me up rock road in to wichita while it is a sheet of ice all the way in the morning..
Do you still have snow on the ground?
Naa That's all gone. Crystal doesn't want to go on a train ride... whaaaaaa. So I guess I will try to get Ralph to go. Did you know it is only about $400.00 round trip to go from Birmingham to San Antonio?? Very affordable. For some reason it is mutch cheaper if you route it through New Orleans. Like I would hate that...lol Maybe we should all try to get together in New Orleans. I have never been there, but I would love to see the city!!! Plus go on the ghost tours and all the gardens ..think May or even late April.
I have only seen New Orleans as we drove through. Never stopped there.
Love N'awlins. :)
Thanks for the info, Debra. I must try lochroma one of these days. My brugs are tucked away down in the garage right now.
No snow here ... a little black ice. I just hunker down when there's black ice. There's not much of it but if you happen to hit a slick patch you can go scooting.
Beautiful bird pics.
Hello Carole!!! The mountain has been removed!! I now can spend more time on DG visiting other sites without being kicked off!! I know you've been hosting this.. and because of my 'ineffiecient' internet service, I have to forego many due visits.
Sorry Carole.. LK.. you too. Time for me to resume yours too and heavens.. the sewing ones!
After almost a year of seeking help, they sent the top senior serviceman, and he came without warning. Guess he didn't believe it's the HQ's fault!! Now I got FULL speed at the max, instead of the usual troublesome 1!!
Blessing in disguise it's fixed today!! And I get to visit.. and there you are talking of my fav. subject New Orleans!! That's my favorite big town. I had lived about an hour's drive from there for 25 years!!!
Kris, if you go to N.O, you must make a tour of some of the gardens, especially the Longview House. I think you can see it online too.
LK, don't stop... stay there for a couple of nights. It's like no other city. The sounds, the sites and the food. Joie de Vivre all around!
Kel and I are supposed to go down to Louisiana next year. Hopefully I can show that boy more of New Orleans!
Black ice is bad, Carole! If you don't have to get into a vehicle, don't. As for Iochromas,.. I killed them!!
Smile Debra!! You know I'm bad with plants!
Hi Ronna!!
Waving to all!!
~~~~Waving back at you, Jaye. So happy about your good 'puter news (I know that has been very frustrating) ... good to see ya. And everyone else that's here.
Carole, thank you for that gregarious wave!!
I had so much problems downloading stuffs, and especially Youtube, with intermittent hiccups! You can't imagine no more frustrations, seamless viewing and I've been catching up on family videos!
Were you affected by the cold weather, snow and ice that headed up the coast recently?
Yes, it snowed for 2 days. That's 2 days too many!!
Only one indoors cat braved outside. Marley anyway is part Maine Coon so its not a threatening environment. The others when they put a paw out were fast to put them back in!! lol.
I thank God, that there were no power failure.
This is crazy Marley.
Hehehee.. normally I had to wait five minutes if a pic is included, before something posted!!! Not anymore Thank You God!
