Oh, it's keeping me busy alright! Watering, detangling, and trying to figure out what they are and where they should be planted(but I still love them:-6). Norberto has a big tiller...he came over last year and did the area for us...I'm not sure if he's still mad at me tho. Yeah, you should ask him! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Yeah, the tiller is wonderful and I don't have a real large place to plant them in, but should be big enough to plant the outdoor ones. I'll hafta keep the ferns inside as my garden is in front of the house and gets a LOT of sunshine in the Spring and Summer. :-6 I don't even have any idea how warm it is day or night since I rarely go outside right now.

Yes, I have a lot to learn. :wah:

Al and Norberto are yours to command.. Al says they are just waiting for a peep from you needing anything.. he does say you should stake it out, don't ask Norbertos opinion, norberto is a vegetable man, not flowers and will guess just to make you feel better:D.



I know someone who runs a greenhouse... let's see if i can find out when we should do this...

I love those guys..:-4:wah:

I hafta wait til Al is back from AZ, which will be Mon. or Tues. I was actually thinking about growing a few veggies this year, so Norberto would be a good source for that. Of course we have lots of bunnies so Lacey would have a lot of snacks. :yh_rotfl

I looked up the weather and the days should be pretty nice and the nights will still be too cold. :-5

What do you mean zone? It may sound like a stupid question, but I don't have hardly any functioning brain right now.

you have to make sure you have a few weeks of well above freezing weather at night........or you will loose them, that is why I had said late May.

shelbell;1161702 wrote: Yeah, but I don't know what to do with them in the mean time.


just keep them watered when they get dry.

that's all you can do babe...if you plant them to early, you will loose them.

Mroning Nok!

Yesterday I went to Modell's with a $20.00 gift reward which means I spent loads of cash in the last year there and they reward you with $20.00 off whatever you buy as long as it's over $20. So, I ended up with a baseball shirt, a pair of sunglasses & a Dr. Pepper soda for .89 cents.:wah:

popped another 3 Ibuprofen.........



one day this will get better....stupid stitches hanging down and I want to cut them!

lol. The 7 cups of coffee I have had today haven't helped I think?

Nothing I can do about it at the moment. Need my BF to get home and kill the printer, then I can finish off the report. Didn't expect the report to take all day. Soooooooo much data! I am going blind staring at the laptop and at all the paperwork! Desk looks like a paper bomb went off!

I suppose I could go shopping for dinner (and wine )

"Hello, this is the Odie residence. Blah, blah, blah". (actually, that's from my answering machine:wah:)

If murder was'nt against the law.....:-5:-5:-5my son's family are trash. his father abused him so he can't see him. the aunt used him after her mother died. then she stopped calling back.everyone of them has deserted their children at on time or another. then recently we get 2 birthday cards; mind you they even say they can't remember the date. I threw them away pronto. Then the aunt sends a letter (no mention of birthday)whining about how she needs new tires(100.00 each) and nothing about never returning my son's phone calls. Thank-god we don't live near them. I also had had enough, we now have a new unlisted phone number.

"I sin, therefore I am taxed"

:-5 Ugh what a week for albertans. We just received some more taxes, yep

add an extra $3.00 onto our carton of cigarettes (now up to $40.00 per carton) NO I don't smoke but feel sorry for those that can't quit.

add an extra $2.85 onto our average 750 ml of booze

add an extra $1.30 onto 12 beer

AND....

WTF the newest budget says this is the first time in 15 years yes 15 years that Alberta is running at a deficit..... Just where in hades did our suplus go to....

Not to mention the Jack*** permier cut oil and gas royalties earlier this year.....

Crikey the **^%()%$# government is out to bleed this province dry just because we "HAD" money......

b - a - s - t - a - r - d - s

what next sales tax.... oh I expect it soon.

Now before you all tell me to quit my sinning.... Don't, my point is a poorly run government (provincial) takes the lazy way out of troubled times by upping luxury taxes. JERKS!!!!! JERKS!!!! JERKS!!!!! Ya better be taking this extra money and be putting it into programs to help the poor stop their addictions.:-5

thanks I feel better now.
