We used to grow scented geraniums outside but did not bring them in.
They come in a myriad of scents.

Actually they come in myriad scents... there is NEVER "of" after
myriad.

You know you are desperate to grouch at somebody when you pick on a
stranger
over a fine point of grammar and get it wrong.

If you want to use obsolete form go right ahead... only a transvestite
freak hyphenates their name. Who's yer daddy... you haven't a clue.

LOL. You really can be silly at times Sheldon.

Not obsolete according to the dictionary, Shelly. Remember to engage
mind, before letting the clutch out on your mouth (keyboard, whatever).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriad
In English, the term "myriad" is most commonly used to refer to a large
number of an unspecified size.

In this way "myriad" can be used as either a noun or an adjective.

Thus both "there are myriad people
outside" and "there is a myriad of people outside" are correct.

English is a hard language to learn, good luck ;O)

You could plant jasmine or honeysuckle under a window and grow it on a
trellis. If the air outside is fairly still and warm, the air will be
heavily perfumed and you'll have the option of closing your window if
it gets to be too odiferous for you.

and "Breath deeply", right?

Insecticide is a subdivision of biocide. Guess what? You are a
subdivision of "bio".

If you need more poison in your life, insecticides are for you.

If you want indoor plants, try hyacinths from bulbs. It's a bit late this year but you could put it on the list for next year

Anybody out there use grow-lamps?

Hi everybody

I'm new to these forums but I've been lurking for a while and they look
really informative. I live in the Cairngorm Mountains, in Aberdeenshire,
in Scotland, so the gardening conditions can be challenging, to say the
least

Because light levels here aren't great in the spring, I've always
started my seedlings off under grow-lamps. Does anybody have any
experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual
high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights?

Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received!


I have no experience with the new LED lamps. However,

I use low 15W T-5 grow lights, just two feet long, cost $15 per light. I
have eight lights. I have one 72 cell or two 48 cell trays for each light.
Seems to work very well. However, I have not tried other higher powered
lights. I also have southern facing windows. I have notice my plants grow
better with the lamps over the windows alone. In spring I only get about 10
hours max of sunshine though the windows. Many days in the spring it is
very cloudy restricting the sunshine even more. So far I see no need for
the high powered lights. I just put the lights closer to the plants. I use
a small chains with small hooks to manually raise and lower the lights.

I use F32T8 fluorescent 2-lamp fixtures, just a few inches above my
seedlings. They work great until the little plants outgrow them.
I'll start my first peppers in about a month, and tomatoes about April 1.

For big plants, I currently have a 400W HPS security floodlight in my
basement on a timer for about 12 hours a day. The plants do OK, but
it looks ugly and uses a lot of juice. I'm about to replace it with a
4-lamp F54T5HO fixture that I can hang from the ceiling and adjust the
height.

We're approaching the season when red spider mites appear out of
nowhere and kill half my big plants. Got my fingers crossed...

I have two 400W HID lamps, one high pressure sodium and one metal
halide. In the fall I bring my non-hardy potted plants indoors and
place the flowering plants under the hps (more red wavelength light) and
the vegetative ones under the mh (bluer light). I also have a board
with 4 twin 40W fluorescent fixtures bolted to it which I use for
starting seedlings. High output fluorescents with horticultural tubes
are excellent, but hid lamps are far easier to manipulate, take up less
space and are, I believe, more electrically efficient.
