Comments (0)Could someone help me get my cuphea to bloom. I brought the plant indoors last fall, cut it back and managed to nurse it through the winter battling aphids and white flies. I put it back outside this spring in full sun and the plant looks healthy and has alot of new growth but no blooms. I have a couple of plants I started from cuttings and they are blooming and flourishing. I have been fertilizing the plant regularly. Any suggestions? After battling to keep it alive all winter, I hate to think that my efforts were all for nothing....See MoreSubmental Potting Leads to Extra Baseball Bat
Comments (4)Karen, The newer leaf is growing through the S. suffruticosa (at the 9 o'clock position). The original plant is at the 11. Stush, I'm not sure I'll be able to hold off repotting it in February or so, but that will give it a few more months to grow.

Comments (3)The SF Giants recently sponsored "Stitch-N-Pitch" night. You bought a special Stitch-n-Pitch ticket, and along with the ticket you got a knitting bag, some skeins of yarn (in Giants' colors, 'natch), a pair of needles, and some instructions on knitting a SF cap. It was a fun event and I saw lots and lots of knitters at the game. Between one of the innings they had a "knitting contest" - it was totally staged but really fun. A couple of knitters competed against each other by speed knitting, knitting over their head, and finally, knitting with baseball bats. Very cute. My husband and I are season ticket holders, so we already had tickets to the game. I was able to noodle my ticket rep into getting one of the bags for me. I'm showing a photo below of the bag and its contents. FWIW, I knit at night games all the time and never need any additional lighting. I am careful to take items that can be washed, in the event of a spilled beer or soda. If I don't have something going that is washable, then I'll take cotton and do a little washcloth - I can usually get a cloth done during the ride down and the game - plus it's not too large to tote around the stadium. I saw those "flashlight" needles and didn't like the feel too much. But, I wouldn't mind having a pair for the novelty of taking them out of my knitting bag while we're camping or at an outdoor movie.
