Sounds like another great government program. ;)

We need an even bigger government and more taxes to add to the regulations

and have an inspector come and check the analysis of your compost tea. :hihi:

They haven't pushed food prices high enuff yet. :doh:

good luck with it raven . you will do fine and enjoy it .

LET there BE LIGHT
 

thankyou kindly Chris L

ok you want pictures of progress on todays little project... OK

well i am a little tired now....but feel like i accomplished something...

my very sweet wife helped me install that heavy S.O.B
and so... it went in pretty easy actually.

We did some major renovations to the ole Barn

we were tired of how dark it was facing EAST so

I grabbed the skill saw and saws- all and cut a big old hole

and installed a Free vinyl window into that wall for much more light for a transition and over flow space.

the truck you see outside is just an antique body and is my super funky :agree:
water tank...thats got a 500 lb chunk of ice floating in it
at the moment....lol

oh but i do
 

i do live right down the road... Paul

it's just a very LOng road,,,, ;) and with the price of

gasoline these days ... a trip you'd have to finance....

heh heh heh...

Congrats Raven and best of luck

Raven, Paul, anyone...Spurge, Euphorbia. Are you familiar with the perennial?

I have a bunch of clippings from it and was thinking about soaking before planting. The plant likes drout. any suggestions? thanks

looks like hens n chickens?

That's what I thought.

-spence

i have never seen it before sorry...

but if it likes drought try just

a plastic bag over it...

in a succulent soil mix...

use very little water or it'll rot.

Paul might know

Never seen Hens and Chickens that tall, that is not to say that it is not. It is a very common plant in gardens and rock gardens and die back a lot but reproduce readily. Where did you get it? Can you see parent and how does it look like it spreads. Looks like a succulent though.
Could be a spurge
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:E...myrsinites.JPG

If so it should be very easy to root as most are. I don't think I would soak it though. Are there any roots at all? Might just stick into some moist soil in a pot and see. It is an outdoor plant right? Really not sure what you have there.

Thats what it is, the plant in your pic is the same. What I know about it is...its invasive, Euphorbia's can give you a rash and is milky when broken like poinsettias. They do well in gravel paths or near stone steps but I seen them everywhere else too. I wasn't sure where to start the root system in water or soil. They're long shoots drape on the ground, some plants has 5-8 shoots like in the pic.

for me
 

i just want to kick the living B out of that plant
and then i'll be one with the universe

:hihi:

Goose...Keep the clippings small (only about three inches or so) Cut right below a leaf node and carefully remove the leaves from the bottom inch of the cutting. Stick themalmost up to the last set of leaves in a tray of sand (you can dip them in rooting powder to urge them but I doubt you will really need it) wait a few weeks and carefully remove them from the sand as to not break roots. Then pot them up!

also the best sand is not to fine or course (like the white sand you can buy for kids sandboxes) and keep it warm and evenly moist not soaked or too dry....but you probably knew that already!

awsome Jenn. thanks everyone. wouldn't it great to have a yard thread;) instead of hi-jackin

all though they grow anywhere they are not suited for all gardens....it going in my gravel patio, it'll loook nice on the edges.

If that is spurge then watch lawn fertilizer with weed killer as it is designed to kill spurge.

Just read this thread ??/best of luck Bud ><><><:wavey:

there he is
 

A Clammer siting everybody..... wooohooo http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...lammersign.jpg


HI CLAMMER Buddy :wavey:

That and purple loosestrife

Rav is the weed Nazi

Yard thread would be great. We could stick to the thread and then no one would know how strange we are.

a play on the word
 

without the B it becomes euphoria

hitler never smoked weed - that A-hole

which is why he was trying to conquer the world

never insult such a peaceful plant with a NAZI reference

thats just so sacrilegious.....and wrong...:hang:

i have none... but the door of perception
got kicked down...so now to cross over to cosmic
(artistic) thinking is easy as pie...

Good luck Raven. I have the farm bug a bit myself, but right now it is limited to a fairly small garden and a tractor. If the bass weren't so far, I would probably end up back in PA on a farmette. You also bought in a great area. I tried to convince my wife to find a job so we could live in that area when we were in grafton during her tufts days. Those were the days. She studied and I spent my time split between disc golf at buffumville dam and night runs to the canal.

Thanks Zimmy
 

i have paid my dues so to speak and now what most people would consider to be back breaking work

is pure play to me... so thats the "key"

love what your doing!!!
