  • 14 days ago

    Ruth, Is Denton, TX really HALLOWEEN HAPPY????? They say Denton is the HALLOWEEN capital of the great state of TEXAS!!!! Give us the scoop....inquiring minds want to know!!

  • 14 days ago

    Annie, I don't. I used to have one plant and now there are lots of plants. I sometimes throw handfuls of seeds around. So that or the birds or just tons of seeds dropping on the ground is where they all came from. There are lots of seeds out there getting dry right now, so let me know if you need more. Also, you asked me once about the Fall asters above and I thought the seeds were sterle. Recently, I read this about them ( seeds can be collected in the late fall, dried in a paper bag for a couple of weeks, and planted thickly in spring, after the last frost.) so this year I'm going to save seeds. Let me know if you want some.

    (Is Denton, TX really HALLOWEEN HAPPY?????)

    LOL, first I've heard of it. I'll have to look into it.

    Asked hubby and he said the news media has been talking about it for weeks.

    Two houses up from us does hotdogs, hot chocolate, prizes and full size candy bars. And they post it on Euless Citizens. So the 50 kids we used to get trick r treating is way more now.

    Oh well, lights will be turned off at 8:30 or 9:00 or when the candy runs out.

    We used to camp at Lloyd Park every year when grands were younger. Campers go all out with serious decorations. Building sets like movie sets and some whole camp area sections will go with one theme. We don't go anymore. It got so crowded it just wasn't fun. Takes forever to drive thru and you have to stand in line a long time for the hayride and each one only does a few loops instead of the whole campground.

    happy wednesday everyone!

    i need one more for bingo :)

  • 14 days ago

    Great to see you again, Mandy!

    Ruth, Halloween over your way is quite the event.

  • 14 days ago

    Ruth ~ your coleuses are so beautiful!! I love coleuses. I am growing a few. I'll take pics tomorrow.

  • 13 days ago

    Yes, I love coleus too. I have 5 containers and they have done really good this year. I believe it's four different varieties. I like to mix them with my pots of begonias and impatiens. In a few weeks the frost/freeze will get mine. I'll cut a few to bring inside.

    Congratulations, Nicole. Multiple winners!

    Thought I would mention that I am the hostess for November. We are not going to do a swap but please post pictures or tell us what is going on in your garden or neck of the woods during November. We will have a heading and I will post it soon.

    One thing I will be posting is a photo scavenger hunt game with 5 things you will look for and photograph each week so all members are invited to stop by and talk and play the game with us. The person with the most items posted will be the winner and if there are multiple people with the highest number, I will randomly draw a name.

    Get ready for some November fun and Happy Halloween to all!

    Ruth here are the pics of my coleuses. if you ever have extra coleus seeds, please keep me in mind :) Thank you!!

    Jeanne ~ thank you for hosting November.

    Annie ~ thanks for hosting this month, appreciate it. Isn't October your birthday month, refresh my memory which is lacking of remembering nowadays :(


  • 13 days ago

    Congrats Jeanne and Nicole.

    Nicole, those coleus are beautiful. I normally keep the flowers pinched back on mine but will let them grow to see if they have time to make seeds before frost. I'll be happy to share. Do you have any tips for saving the seeds? I just pick the tops where the flowers are but never see anything that I can identify as seeds.

    I have two pots that are the small leaf trailing type. I'm not sure if I kept the names of the four varieties or not, but will look for them.

    Happy Halloween!

    Nice to hear from Mandy😊

    Take care everyone!

  • 13 days ago

    Amy, you are not to late.....call the B word!!

  • 13 days ago

    I love Colus as well. I have several large pots. And yes, i take lots of cuttings and grow in the house during Winter. I do not do well growing Coleus from seed. I will try again this year.









  • 13 days ago

    Im the late one calling Bingo!😂

    The coleus looks great I grew some for the first time in many years this Spring and it still looks good. I like the idea to bring cuttings in the house for winter.

    Annie, do you keep them in water all winter or eventually move them to a pot inside?

  • 12 days ago

    YAH Amy, you to are a winner!! Congrats!!


    Yes, everyone wins!!


    RE: Prizes....I will post here when I send.


    ******************************


    Amy, re:Coleus cuttings....I cut them, root in water and then plant in potting soil. I do put in nice containers around the house, treating them as a houseplant. I do put in a sunny window. They love it. Come Spring, I acclimate them outside and then plant away.


    *****************************


    Happy Halloween kids... be safe!!

  • 12 days ago

    Jeanne has a Scavenger Hunt going on for the month of November.....check it out!!

  • 12 days ago
