A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2621...

All fresh and new.

We got a nasty lightning storm last night, I hope the rain we got was enough to keep any fires at bay.

Looks good to me...nice and roomy !

The sun is shining, it looks like it will be a nice day. I am heading out in a few minutes to plant some lupine seeds. I have had them soaking in damp paper towels for a week....some have already started to sprout.

We planted Hollyhock and 'forget me not' seeds the other day. I love getting seeds from people from their gardens and having then re-sprout in mine.

They sound lovely, Sunny.

Tuesday I plan on a lot of yard work. I think seed planting will be on the planning list as well.

What will you be planting Junie?

I have some coneflower seeds from home. I want to see if they are still viable

They probably are. I always soak my seeds for a few days in wet paper towel in a plastic baggie. It speeds up the germination.

We did get rain today. Lots and lots. I'm not complaining though.

Glad that you got.rain, Sheri...Lots of rain is a.good thing.

I leave my 7 gallon gardening bucket out when it is forecast to rain. Then I strain it into gallon jugs to use on my houseplants.

Ok I will soak my seeds as you suggested.........Thanks a lot, Sunny.

Goodnight everyone. Sweet Dreams.

If we could only share our rain with Tina.

It is supposed to be a hot day here because of the incoming hurricane, I have the air conditioner set up to cool down the house. This is the last week of school for the grands...one is happy, the other is not.

Sorry for the hurricane. I hope all goes well for you.

Wow! Not.happy about.school ending. I like to hear that.

Right now it is in the low 80's..in a few hours it.is supposed to be in the high 70's..I will believe that when I see it.

We just get the tail end with wind and rain....it is supposed to hit 96*F today, strange weather for this time of year.

I just noticed that I have deer tracks in my flower bed.

Omg ! Deer tracks...I hope this does not become a habit.

96*F ??? OMG !! I hope you get your outside chores done early.

Hi all,

Junie you are warmer than us! only 92* here today, it is strange weather... .... we went out for a late breakfast today..was first time in months... hopefully won't be last... people in this state are not getting vaccinated .... will never understand their rights to risk others lives ... just me thinking love thy neighbor is just lip service for some people....

Just finished paying bills and now need to clean this office up some... file the pile of crap on top of my file cabinet and dust... always something to get done I guess...

We did go and see kids , good thing too cause they are all now working at the store... well the 3 still at home.. oldest got back to work for the mines... he like physical labor and being outdoors... still have trouble believing youngest is old enough to work... 16 , time flies !
Well off to get my vacuum and dusting stuff out... have a good afternoon all...

Nana

Hi Nana, I can't believe the youngest grand is 16 already....time really does fly.

There are bad thunderstorms on the way, they have some rotation in the clouds about a four hour drive from here they stated. Hopefully nothing touches down from it.

I can't believe he's 16 either. How can that be right?

We got 3 inches of rain yesterday but it was hot and dry today. Rain is supposed to come back tomorrow though and then maybe into the 80's for a few days. I'll be glad for the cool down.

We need rain but the humidity is causes is awful on the elderly/sick...wearing masks as well is difficult for them. It is so humid today that I plan to hide inside, well I'll have to feed the calf later but that will be it.

I am still waiting for my flooring to come in at the hardware store so I can finish fixing my bathroom.....leaks cause the worst damage. My bathroom is a total mess at the moment.

My bush beans have broke ground.

We keep passing each other like ships in the night, Sunny. I see you were just in when I come here. Yay for bush beans.

Today the weather is in the 70's. I will take advantage of the low temps and work outdoors...when the coffee is gone.

Have fun outdoors.

I am waiting for an email so I will be in and out on here a bit today....my ship shall be passing you by again.

Next time we pass, Sunny, I will wave.

Look for me.

Good afternoon. My internet broke down late Friday night. Only took them 3 days to fix it. I am catching up.

I am so sorry Tina. I noticed you were gone, and was hoping you were ok.. Glad to see you back.

Goodnight everyone. Sleep.well.

Sweet dreams all.

Welcome back Tina.

Good morning !

Sweet dreams all.

Good night, Tina sleep well.
I know I came in here, saw that Tina had posted goodnight and I responded...so this is take 2.

Good night Tina, sleep well. I will "see" everyone tomorrow. Sweet Dreams.

I'll be mowing weeds today, it doesn't look like a lawn.

Yea, here too. We have mainly bermuda grass( yuk) water grass and clover...

Today is another work outside day....or at least morning

And I have no coffee

I just spent 5 hours outside working, I am beat and the flies have chewed me up...why were we waiting for Summer?

That us a very good question, Sunny...But I am thinking we were wanting to get away from bad roads and the bitter cold....But this heat is almost as bad.....and of course, your flies. I am so sorry for you.

I was out about that long yesterday and the day before....at my house...then around 2-3 hours at my DD's picking berries between last night and the night before. night
Then another 2 hours this morning here. Hopefully another 2 or 3 hours outside tomorrow will have me caught up here.

We are to be triple digits the next few days. And maybe that through mid Sept or beyond. Teddy is going to spend some time in a cool bath for awhile, I think.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. I'm going to fix a few cold things to eat.

Good morning. Sorry for the heat, Tina.

I will be baking chicken legs tonight. DH won't notice the heat...he stays out if the kitchen.

Only in the low 80's here so far. But unless I need to water, my yard work is done...for now,.......so yay !

Tina, I'd be sitting in your fridge with those kind of temps.

Well, then I couldn't keep my ice cream frozen. And Teddy and I are both so fond of lime sherbet.

You could get another frudge/freezer, Tina..LOL

Watching the Daytime Emmy's. And washing short people's clothes....

I always enjoyed washing short peoples clothes.
Sweet dreams all.
