Good morning gardeners. Hope all of you and your winter gardens are doing well. Nothing but perfect Autumn weather here in Mississippi. We may be getting some needed rain the first part of this coming week.
If you are a gardener or you are just starting out and are in need of advice or just encouragement please feel free to join in and enjoy the friendly discussion. Our Freeper community is full of gardeners, each with varying interests and skill levels from Master Gardener to novice.
Ha... 100. No it’s not even sprouting unless it did it in the past 3 days. It’s in the greenhouse. We are having a late Indian Summer here on the north coast...
Yep. Yesterday I told you how to repot it, but yesterday you didn’t ask me about scoring the roots...and I remembered I forgot to tell you not to repot it if it’s currenly in bloom. :)
We’ll get our act together one day, LOL!
my two older bulbs are coming along...hope I get flowers....love the amaryllis at Christmas.....
Seems like in TX our Amaryllis always bloom about Jan 20th, we’re out of whack somehow. Maybe they should be put in the fridge to chill for a couple weeks in mid-November?
Mid-OCTOBER I meant.
My wife is arguing with HERSELF about the bloom date for ours so I sympathize with your paranoia but According to Flikr I took that photo on May 26th. After careful research I have come to the tentative opinion that perhaps, but not conclusively beyond a shadow of a doubt if I am correct and I have been wrong one time but that had very little to do with which way the wind blows on any given day because it may or may not be Minerva...
I agree. It could be Minerva, too!
Mountain Lions roam the woods and gulches here but we have never seen one. Perhaps a few well placed pumpkins would bring them out?
Bring them out? I’m guessing you mean for a lead sandwich?
Speaking of lead my 40 year old Sherridan 5MM pellet gun died so I bought a new one for 3 times the price of the original. I will use it to discipline those critters I trap in the garden. I am going to rebuild the old one when I find a source for parts...
Went outside in the dark this morning, turned the light on, there was a coon twisting around in an oak right in front of me. I have nothing it wants (yet), maybe it was after a birds nest.
Not ready to open fire, I bitched at him and he went away. He was in beautiful, healthy shape. I used to have a very small soft spot for coons until a couple almost killed an infant a few weeks ago trying to eat it.
This area had a spell of Rabies infested foxes early this year with a couple of people and animals being bitten. Skunks are also carriers. Did I tell you I hate to trap skunks...
That’s really neat! I wonder how often a tiger sees a pumpkin in the wild, though? LOL! Those cats look very well cared for!
My New Ronco Rotisserie arrived today and I will be trying it out with a whole 5 lb. chicken this evening. Any suggestions on seasonings to use?
How do you keep a chicken from flopping around on the rotisserie at the rear cavity? I thought about a small raw potato or a apple to act as support for the rod in the cavity...
That looks like the single drive rod with skewers on both ends which is what I used but as the bird shriveled it began to flop around especially the turkeys. I would have to stop the process and retighten the rear skewer and that allowed the bird to cool and slow the process.
Just pulled our first chicken out of the rotesserie! Looks beautiful and also tastes really good. Nice and moist. My ife qkeeps saying “This is really good”! LOL She is a chickenholic! Knows her chicken.
