Ooh--I love all this garden talk (furiously taking notes here :lol: )

I have a couple plants that I stick with--the ones I can't kill. ;) I'm in the process of putting in a perinneal garden--trying to anyway.....any thoughts on varities that grow well in full sun?

I was considering a muumuu and a wide brimmed hat for such purposes, but was thrust back to reality to me jeans and t-shirts B)

Why is it that when we think of gardening, we always picture a lovely woman in a breezy sundress, with a sweet straw hat? When I garden, I'm in my grodiest old shorts, holey tank top, and am covered in dirt and sweat from head to toe. <_<

Irises and lillies both do well in full sun, and come in every color you can think of. Dianthus and poppies are good, too... although poppies are SUPPOSED to be perennials, I can never get them to come back personally. <_< Lots of roses love the sun. Daffodils, of course, and Hyacinth.

Also don't forget about flowering shrubs and bushes... Crepe Myrtles are very pretty. I like the type with the smooth, graceful trunks, not the spiky ones. Forsythias are wonderful when they're well-kept (they grow wild around here a lot, and the wild ones get big and spiky, and not as nice.)

Gladiolas can take a lot of sun, but I've found they do best if they get a little shade in the afternoon. Tulips also do well in the sun, but both of these are a little higher maintenance-- in PA you probably would have to dig up the bulbs in the fall and replant them at the very beginning of spring. In NC, as long as they're well-mulched, I don't have to do this. ^_^ Also, glads can get VERY tall, and may need to be supported.

Although I like to buy local when I can, the big mail order companies like Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link can't be beat for the variety they offer. You could do whole gardens of lillies with all the varieties available.

Sigh... I want more flowers. :lol:

Ridgewalker Contributor
I swear I have a black thumb.....I have even killed a cactus....and those are so low maintence its not funny!

I have, too!!! :lol: I think it's because they're so low maintenance... you think they just don't ever need water at all, and then... OOPS. :lol:

Ok I am going to ask you guys a question and if you feel the need to get mad at me please do....

But do all of you guys buy organic? I still buy reg. foods.....just wondering once I hear your answers I will tell you why I asked...

Like Patti, I buy organic if I can, but definitely not all the time, or even that much. It's too darn expensive! I bought a couple bags of organic carrots the other day, since they were only a few cents more than conventional.

I know a lot of people on these forums buy all organic, but I could not possibly afford it.

I try to do vegetable gardens, where I can control what goes on the produce- and you can produce huge amounts of food for super cheap. But I wasn't well enough to do a garden this year. :(

Hey! I wanna see some tattooed grandmas!!

1st thought same. 2nd thought "ack why would I wanna see that?!"

Sarah, there IS a little giddy thrill from something so simple as another possible restaurant, isn't there? :)

Jess - as a matter of fact, no, I do not know how expensive those things are. :P

Hmmmm Knick's phluids . ..post count just over 2450 . .. ..thread post 17165 .. ..member #3991 .... hmmm I'm stuck .. .maybe I should check the temp in London ....or just multiply all the above numbers by 9/5ths and add 32?

BRB

Composted manure is the best!!! I use it in my beds, too... horseshit everywhere around here. (<giggle> That does sound funny.)

Had to augment a tad to join the giggles <_<:D

Organic - I don't go out of my way for it either.

Vanessa Carlton plays The Park tonight. How can I NOT go? Hmmm wonder who the opener is .. . .

Mygawd....all this talk of successful gardening and organic eating. I'm outta me league.....

I have lots of tiger and day lilies scattered all about, and scads of evening primrose (yellow is my coloUr). That's about it. A big rose bush, and climbing vines that have taken over the back of the house. I LOVE rocks....the bigger the better, so we have some incredible boulders out front that I love to sit on wif me cats. The dogs will not scramble upon them, quite oddly....

Rocks are the way to go. No watering, no pruning, no dying.....fascinating, delicious coloUrs....... :rolleyes::D

I don't buy organic. it is really too expensive. I just wash everything very well, and I buy local. Guess I should be growing my own....organic AND local!

Sarah--

Thank you!! :D I copied all of your suggestions down--I'll bet I can get everything here--we have a fantastic garden store, the nicest one I've ever been to, and it's like 5 minutes away!

Maybe if it looks good enough when I get it all planted (I started this spring, haven't done anything lately with all the heat), I can take a pic for me av) :D

And you can't just order them from the internet. Every manufacturer has a slightly different cut so you have to try them all on.

Pataughmn!!!!!

Look down at the prices! Stop gazing at the pictures!! :lol:

Very true--it can be a pain in the wazoo!

And finally

Why is it that when we think of gardening, we always picture a lovely woman in a breezy sundress, with a sweet straw hat? When I garden, I'm in my grodiest old shorts, holey tank top, and am covered in dirt and sweat from head to toe. <_<

My idea of gardening is looking out my window thinking "hmm, I should get someone to get rid of all that weird viny stuff in my yard." Or I ask my neighbor if I should keep some particular thing or not. Or, I go by the old standby, if there is more than one of them, it must be a weed.

Is that an order, Mistress Jess?

Where's that scary :ph34r: avatar you had?

The most flattering tend to be the underwired, slightly push-up dynamic, Ptaoughmghmn....and go for the gel straps! Easier on the shoulders....... :lol:

My idea is quite similar: look out window, and think, "hmmmmm, there's a spot that could explode with flowering weed....must put another boulder down".

Hi, everybody.

I don't go out of my way to buy organic. Some of the specialty items we buy because of their gluten-free status also happen to be organic, but it is the gluten-free attribute, not organic, that drives those buying decisions. I'm just not convinced that the extra cost is justified. My opinion, yours may vary.

So far, there has been no rain since I got up this morning. It has been a while since we have had such a day in these parts. Toronto has already set an all-time record for rainfall in the combined months of June and July and there is an entire week still to go.

The 'attitude' of a poster in the warn box thread was hysterical. Peter (and Lisa) handled it very professionally.

Yep......what a team..... :D

I need them to come over and diffuse my home situation.... . . Jack is yelling at Sophie that she has the fattest behind he's ever seen, and she's screaming back something about his bovine aroma.

:huh:<_<

I can not imagine Jack and Sophie yelling at one another....

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
