Brrrr ... Do you not know what cold is?
I am jealous I am looking at 6 inches of snow and it does look cool.
I can only dream about next year. You guys are still gardening

That is why the universe made house plants and forcing bulbs a way to
keep the thumb green . And visions of growing plants danced in their
heads a corruption of course. Hell with the sugarplums )

House plants ?????

That is something I have have not thought about. Perhaps house plants
are of feminine in thinking. Where outdoor gardening are more masculine
in thinking. To think of it, all of the outdoor garden shows that I know
of are all males are the host. Victory Garden - male, Gardening Smart -
male, cultivating life -male, P. Allen Smith - male (well maybe half
male). House plants, hmmm... Martha Stewart?

I have always viewed Winter as the time for learning. Spring is the time
for cleaning. Summer as the time of doing. Fall is the time for
preserving. Winter is here, I am currently on chapter two of "Gardening:
when it counts, by Steve Solomon" and "Anathem by Neal Stephenson
(SciFi).

House plants - it maybe possible. First I will have to look very very
deep into my soul and search and look for that feminine side if it is
there

Hey, I represent that remark!

Just you wait until we get Bungadora on the line. She's from Calgary.
You could of told her how tough you've got it, but I think you've gone
and poisoned the hole now.

I am a professional at poisoning holes and stirring up hornets nest and
running from them So is this thread better under "brrrr"? Canada is
only a ten mile drive from my place to Sarnia Canada. I can relate to
the Canadians and cross the border to the Casinos once in a while.

Picked my green tomatoes today and set them out in front of windows.
For some reason my "Stevia rebaudiana - Bertoni" is in full bloom. It
should have done that in June or July. It's acting as if it were at
home! Anyone have any experience with these things. The Sun is below
the tree line, and the temp went to 29 F last night (Yes, I know it's
unfair but there you have it. I'f it makes you feel better, we are
predicted to
have rain from the 19th until Christmas. Oh, there you go again :O) In
any event, Mom Nature is trying to kill my little buddy. As a result,
my little buddy has become a house plant by night.

I have no hopes of over wintering it (not enough Sun). I just want to
get some seed from it. Does anybody out there have an idea (relating
to the above problem)?

Snip
Dan seems to be very competitive with his adversities ;O)
Me thinks that we need a gardening report from bungadora to
put him in his place, otherwise I fear that we will soon be reading
the account of his upbringing,

Now as for my upbringing life story This could take Gigabytes At
age five, 110 stitches across his face from an accident. At school
scarface was my nickname. At age 13 went blind, after removing pituitary
tumor could see again with corrective lenses. After surgery, hormone
drop off. Migraine headaches lasted for 15 years before finding right
treatment. For those good reasons at thirty became an Atheist....

Anybody sad yet truth or fiction?

Enjoy Life ... Dan
