pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 20 Jun 09

Bulbs of mine

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 16 Apr 09

I recently transplanted a bunch of my Asiatic Lilies. This photo shows two of the bulbs I transplanted. The large one is maybe 2 or 3 years old. The small one is a shoot from this one as well. Lilies spread like weeds and need...

Climbers

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 16 Apr 09

This photo shows another area I've dug up for more garden items this year here in Minnesota. The area with the white fencing will be my pickles more than likely. They will climb up the fence. (hopefully) The area along the fence...

hildas I have just planted a climbing rose and two clematis. I bought two wooden frames to train hem up. I grow my sweet pea up an obelisk. I really want to grow some vegetables this year also, so you can give me a few tips on how to start. I guess I need to dig...

Here I am suffering from insomnia

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 19 Feb 09

And I'm not going to ask what you do when you get insomnia or how often you get it, because I see that's been done a few hundred thousand times. I thought I'd see who is on at this time of night, where you are from and if this is...

hildas I suffer terribly with this. I cannot sleep until around 4.00am. I think it's my medication though, but its really annoying. I think there is quite a lot of people that suffer with this. Sorry you cannot sleep either.

hildas Lol. I can just imagine the smell off that. Yuck!. No I have never been in a cow patty fight thank goodness. I have slipped in it once and that was enough for me. I do not think I could pick up the stuff either. Maybe for money, but nothing else.
