It would be so fun to meet everyone. There's people here that I've been chatting with for a few years. I'm going to try and meet Bob as well. It's too bad that I look like a blowfish from all these damn steroids. lol Of all times to have a nasty side effect.

Karyn a blowfish what! I am so sorry for your side affects..I had a deer tick bite me last year and ended up in the hospital sicker than a dog with a black tougne from the medication...Al was teasing me said I had black tounge disease...Deers die from it...I thought I was dying..Lol It was awful..My boss at the time was a jerk about it and that is why I quit there...I was having heart problems (pains) and couldnt breathe either...And light just killed me... No more of that medicine...

I hope you feel better! You have had it so rough this year...Geez I am sending you my luck now... Catch it! Big hugs you lucky person meeting Katie and Bob...:)

Lucy My Plant friend..Lol You really make me smile all the time along with so many others..Never stop being you...By the way I am tired of you gardening while we sit here and wait for our gardens to un-thaw! Lol

Wow, I need to go to the post office. I sure need a "pick me up". LOL
Sorry I have been mia again, I took a fall and have been really sore. You would think at my age, I would be able to navigate stairs. LOL At least nothing was broken this time.

One of my brugs I left inground over the winter is putting out new growth, but 5 others are showing no signs of life.
I set everything outside except a few seedlings and the squirrels have wreaked havoc pulling my brugs and plumeria babies out of their pots. I wonder why they pull them out and just throw them down? In the case of these, they are not eating them, but pulling them up. I may have to build a cage around them. any suggestions, they laugh at red pepper!

You can make a spray that works well at keeping critter away. I have a terrible time with squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and deer. Take a 2 liter bottle and put in 5 or more cloves of crushed garlic, 1/4-1/3 cup veg oil and 1 or 2 raw eggs. Fill it up with water and let it sit in the sun to rot. It will take a while to putrify because it's not that hot out but during the summer it only takes a few days. Strain the mixture into a spray bottle and saturate the plants. It stinks but it works for me. It needs to be reapplied every week or so, more if it rains. I also have problems with squirrels and birds going after my fruit trees, especially my figs. Someone told me to tie CD's to the branches. I heard about that late last season but will try it early this year. I get plenty of CD's in junk mail.

Thanks Karyn, I think you may have given me that recipe before, but I must have forgotten it.

I have heard that CD's will scare them away, but here I wonder. They will sit exactly where I can see them through my windows and dig in the pots. Watching me ( to see if i will let the dogs out I am sure) watch them.
