New from soaked North. CA.

Since it's too wet and muddy to go out and play I thought I'd stop in and say Howdy. Been roaming around the site and having a blast. Love the pictures and added info. Well Howdy again off to roam some more. Lauri

Hello, and welcome to Davesgarden. I spend a lot of time here and will never get to read it all. Tell us a bit about yourself. Today I am getting part of the same storm you have, only mine is white and several inches deep.

Hello and Thanks, My husband spent some time in Baker when he was younger. We have an acre here and are still re-doing parts and moving things even after 12 years. On the to do list is a paver patio with a fire pit in the middle, and maybe a bar-b-que on the side and a water feature in the back yard. We have a raised bed vegetable garden, a few fruit trees and lots of flower beds. This year I'm trying winter sowing for my pereninnals and the vegis, hopefully it will work out. I enjoy feeding and watching the birds and the squirrels and just being outside. But not now as we're still getting lots of rain tooo much as all the beds are under water and now high winds. This is such a fun site and I am still reading when I don't get side tracked and roam off else where on here. Lauri

Hello and thanks again everyone, Love this site and tried to join the chat room but am having problems posting, ahhhh my life story.. I've discovered a new passion here.... Brugs, now I've got to have one or three :) Lauri

LOL Lauri, that's what happened to me, only a couple of months ago, I actually had a dining room! Gave it up for Brugs.. no regrets at all..

Hi Lauri..Are you still having fun??I think I'm also getting hooked on Brugs...I think It's a good thing,right??!

Loretta..

Hi Loretta, I'm having a great time!! Brug addiction is a GOOD thing, At least I hope :o) Lauri

lauri--Add my welcome to everyone else's. Great to have you on DG. Don't just stick to the Brug forum--stop by and visit perennials, bulbs, wintersowing, and all the others, too. With an acre you have a lot to play with and talk about.

I am trying to figure out where Anderson is without looking at a map. Any clues?

Have a great day. t.

Hi and thanks,I'm about 10 miles south of Redding or 4 hours North of Sacramento. Oh I lurk in many of the forums and am taking copious amounts of notes, LOL if I can read them later, that is another story... Lauri

Lauri ...I heard your getting alot of rain again..I hope all is well with your plants..Do alot of them die on you with all that water or float away?

Loretta..

I had to edit for wrong spelling..

Hi Loretta, some of them got flooded out so I just started over on maybe 6 containers. We're going to get 3 days with just chance of showers so I'm happy....Lauri

Did you plant anymore?Hows that winter sowing going,did you get it done yet?? ;o)))

Loretta...

101 pots. I used all my 6 packs and then all my 4" pots then ran to dollar store and bought a gillion plastic cups and finished. Several are sprouting . The cleome look like grass, I think I may have gotten them a little thick. :o)) How are yours coming?

Lauri a little thick I would say so...Mine are in the ground waiting for spring,and they do come in thick,I just pick and toss,because no one wants ANYMORE..You must have really been busy..What kind of soil do you use? :o)))

Loretta...

Welcome to Daves!! :~)

I used to live just south of Red Bluff in the Richfield aera, ---it you want some Angel Truppet starts --I have White, Pink, Peach,Apricot, and yellow, ---Welcome--,from N. Florida,.---Michael

Loretta...

Lauri I heard your getting more rain,so you better get your floating plants under cover..! :o)))

Loretta...

Yep rain is heading this way and the floaties are all ready to go. Been out thinning out the cleome, now it still looks like grass only not as full. Was looking at Dori's gardens and they are beautiful.=0))...Lauri

Loretta...

Lauri I just asked Rosie if the two of you got lost I have'nt seen you post..! ;o(((

Loretta...

Yea I'm always lost....I've been looking up stuff and then I get to reading something else and then forget what I was originally looking for. Have you seen the mini AV's yet??? I've gotta find some of theose they are so cute. Mine are big grocery store rejects...=o))).Lauri

I have'nt seen them yet,guess I better check the site out..The few I have were gifts and are really pretty,so I guess their keepers...

Loretta..
