What Do You Do When You...

I'm a caffeine/nicotine fiend. Caffeine doesn't seem to affect me as I always have a hot cup to unwind when I come in the door. May just be habit. I know smoking is bad but I know I'm not going to stop. I don't smoke in the presence of anyone...out in the garage with door open 12 months a year at my father's house. Lois, worst thing about it is getting all wrapped up in knots when this happens. That upset feeling when...

Butterfly Bush seeds collected!
Published (2009-11-13 14:24:00)
I did not know they were considered invasive. I have never had any volunteers. I have never seen any growing in the wild either. I always wonder about info like this and think to myself that some of these labled invasive plants that are so nice we want to grow them in our yards ... then why is it a bad thing to have them grownig all over the place just like the native plants? I am sure I am being short sited here but really I would rather see...

Should I be filling jugs now?
Published (2009-11-13 09:45:00)
It can be done, but your concerns are valid. I wouldn't want to have to dig them back out of the snow...which is why I use a giant rolling tote for my pre-moistened soil. As for 'did I sow in there or not?' that's an easy one: You obviously won't be 'sealing' your containers shut if you have no seeds in them (assuming you're filling them ahead-of-time), so once you've sown in them, you'll duct...

Published (2009-11-13 13:24:00)
Depending on the potting mix you're using it might, or might not be OK to fill ahead of time. Some mixes are difficult to moisten. I usually moisten the mix in a bin, stir and mix, add more water, stir and mix so that it's evenly moist throughout. Then I fill the jugs. Karen

Trudi: I can't imagine how you handle the flood of orders. I know this is seasonal and will drop off, but I'm so impressed by your aura of calm encouragement -- "You can do it. Here's how ..." Thank you!

Fear of Flying
Published (2009-11-13 09:51:00)
Thanks, Leslie - I will check into this. I am going to this event in NY; it's too important to miss. I literally spent hours trying to figure out if there was any way I could do this besides flying, but there isn't. DH, who unfortunately can't fly with me at this time, is a fearless flyer and has been trying to give me lots of encouragement. Kahlua & coffee sounds good, but these are both early morning flights, and I wonder...

Get you some plastic knives. Stick one in each container as it's sown. If you've got a place to store them filled, it'll be easier. When it comes time to sow, just toss your seeds onto the soil and close them up.

Chances are good that pollinators were still around when the flowers were in bloom in your zone. Otherwise, I don't think most would set seed at all. Just do a germination test if in doubt- try to sprout a few in a cup in your house. Karen

brier, I do put my pots outside over winter, but ONLY after they have had a minimum of 45 days warm moist first. Seeds from my own plants I'll sow immediately after harvest but for those seeds I buy that arrive dry, I soak overnight or until they begin to plump a little, and then put them in barely moist sterile sand or moist sterile vermiculite in a tiny zip lock and I leave that on my desk ...

Our southern shores are already hit hard. Here along central "shore" coast they're waiting for flooding. Surf was incredibly rough and turbulent today friend reported. Good luck riding out the storm. Hate these Nor'easters. I have my brand new "The Well Tended Perennial Garden" and a flashlight if we lose power here at my father's house. He's not in flood area so won't come to my ...

Drippy, if you haven't already researched this on your own, a good start may be to read this group of articles from Associated Content. Turns out it's one of the more difficult phobias to treat because it's a combination of many phobias to varying degrees as listed in main article at link. I have many of the phobias listed and currently don't "need" to fly so I just don't. Last time I ...

Yike, I was going to try to offer some help here, but not sure I can. Sounds like you have a much tougher "can't sleep" situation than average. Three weeks of not sleeping is something I would think the medical profession would consider a bit of a crisis - my last two doctors surely would have. They also took seriously my concerns about side effects of any medicine - so while this is going on,...

I had one container germinate out of 3. They were purchased from Park seed. The two traded containers haven't done squat. This fall, I'll direct sow them because other in the cottage garden forum say that's the best method for my zone.

Thank you from me too! Mine came yesterday and have already been "logged in" for 2010 planting. From the other thread I found out I needed tomatoes with 72 or less DTM and that is what you sent. Now if only the weather cooperates next year..... Thanks again.

Some of my favorites for selection: Swallowtail, American Meadows, and Praire Moon. I also order from Thompson & Morgan occasionally.

I saved my cat litter jug which is clear like a milk jug. I'm planning on using it. Its just like a supersized milk jug so I don't see why you couldn't but what do you consider "milky?"
