New To Brugs - and ohhhh sooo confused
Comments (4)As far as fertilizing, it's probably not a good idea to do much of it during the winter. I'd wait until they go outside in the spring, although I have used a very weak solution before. When I did this, I had my cuttings in the house and they were actively growing in very warm temps. Once they go outside (after last freeze and frost), I fertilize about every 2 weeks, but once a week fertilizing would probably give me more blooms. Fish emulsion is an excellent fertilizer for brugs. Normally I like to alternate between organic and chemical fertilizers. I'm not sure where you saw "blue powder", but they had to have been referring to Miracle Grow or Peters, etc. If you wanted to stay organic, I'd think the fish emulsion by itself would work just fine. We get the same high temps here as you do, but most of mine are in full sun. I have an un-known ID white in full shade and some others in partial shade. For me, more sun=more blooms, but you'd need to keep an eye on them and make sure they're getting enough water. It also depends on what brugs you're growing. What do you have? I like to "harden-off" my plants outside for a week or two in a shady spot before planting them out in the spring....See MorePart One of Gomer and Margie - Story Using TV SHows
Comments (10)Good job Karen! I tried to search for the very first segment, but it must be bumped off the site now. So this is only the story of Gomer and Margie, which have had quite the adventures of their own....See MoreTwo books at once?
Comments (34)I'm like DiggerB, with the exception that if a magazine doesn't come in the mail or sit in a doctor's waiting room, I don't read it. Reading multiple books is a matter of matching my mood or how much time I have for a particular reading session. Alexander McCall Smith's Botswana books were great for reading in bed just before lights out, but unfortunately I got through all of them. I don't like to read anything too exciting or scary or that requires too much thought at that time. I generally have some non-fiction going, and more than one fiction book. There will be one or two beside the bed, another one in the car in case I am kept waiting somewhere or decide to eat at Einstein Bros. Bagels or some other place all alone. Another book at the kitchen table, and one in the bathroom. I also find it hard to go to the library and not come home with 5 or 6 books, or even more. Some books do fall through the cracks and get forgotten, but usually not permanently. Shantaram is one, though I was finding it interesting. It is just too big to carry around and didn't make good bedtime reading. Lonesome Dove is waiting in the wings, too. I'm sure I will get back to these two. Being a member of Paperbackswap.com also tends to make me want to read and finish the shorter books in my bookcase so I can post them and earn credits faster. Normally, if I like a book, I would prefer it to be long. But I guess it is too much to expect that all the books I like be long ones! lol...See MoreHappy New Year!
