Hope that it proves to be good therapy for. I've missed you. Although we've had a heat spell this past week and my flowers are lush and beautiful, I know that tomorrow is the first day of fall. I printed your tips on what to do. What a great idea to photograph what you like and what you don't like! This information came just in time! I so appreciate this because I know your days are complicated, to say the least.

I'd love to ask you a few questions.......Hey there! I'd love to ask you a few questions....do over winter geraniums? I read that they are slow to bloom after being overwintered. Do you bring impatiens and begonias in for the winter? I hate to lose them. I plan on bringing in some asparagus fern and golden creeping jenny, I know the fern will do fine indoors, but not sure about the jenny..I just love the look of it, so I'll try. Oh yeah, and some coleus is coming in too. I'm going to run out of room, but this being my first year with more than a hanging basket or two, I just can't part with these "babies" that I've raised. (remember, all my gardens are in containers, but I still have to take them up and put them in different ones.) When you first started were you like that? <BR/>Okay, last question, what do you use for aphids? They got at my petunias, I tried some soap spray, it helped some. It's weird though, my pot of mostly white ones got them bad, the pink pot, not so much. I think they got whiteflies too, but they are on the top side of the leaves, not the underside.<BR/>Thanks to you I really have the gardening bug, I'm loving it. I applied to the Master Gardener program and waiting to see if I get accepted. There were about 35 people, and they can only take 15. I should know by tomorrow, (Friday), keep your fingers crossed for me please. And again, thanks for the inspiration.<BR/>Take care of yourself.<BR/>ReneeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-47720317754593446952008-09-17T22:41:00.000-06:002008-09-17T22:41:00.000-06:00Thank you Beddow!

I have been looking at compost bins, those big things that you are suppose to turn everyday. The soil always looks good in the picture.<BR/>If you do would you recommend getting one?<BR/>Thanks for all your great tips and for always answering our questions no matter how silly they may sound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-22066788352506780562008-09-16T20:56:00.000-06:002008-09-16T20:56:00.000-06:00Hi Tootsie, Girl, I admire YOUR talents!

Well, I will ask you a question, and I don't expect you to asnswer it unless you have time or feel like it.<BR/><BR/>I have a bald spot in between me and my neighbors yards...between two large Mexican Sunflower bushes...I need a no-water perennial that will bloom a color other than yellow, that will grow to about 5 feet to fill in the bald spot. Zone 10 (South Florida).

You asked if I was from RMS earlier-yes I had pics there-I left when the rest did. I am sorry to that you are going thru some rough times having been thru many myself (a husband leaving for a co-worker,being left by my parents at 15-those both took 2 years of counseling! Then a loss of a child)Just take your time to grow through this and it is okay to feel down at times-its part of the yucky process-in time you will come around-trust me!!! I will lift you up in my prayers and pray that you feel loved!<BR/>TressTresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622327194945080167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-35731411954801501702008-09-16T10:28:00.000-06:002008-09-16T10:28:00.000-06:00YAHOO!!! your back Toots..don't know who said what...YAHOO!!! your back Toots..don't know who said what to you but THANKS LADY who ever you are for bringing back our Toots..

Glad I am not the only one that has a hard time accepting fall, I keep watching my impatiens knowing they tend to not tolerate the cold and am watching for the signs of glob they will become but hey so far...not! So I continue to be positive that I have some more time and when it happens I will wonder why I planted so many impatiens this year instead of something more cold tolerant!<BR/>Have a great day!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633044181280150455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-19674131979225025922008-09-16T07:33:00.000-06:002008-09-16T07:33:00.000-06:00Hi Tootsie, I have a question for you! :) I saw ...Hi Tootsie, I have a question for you! :) I saw that you suggested to take inside plants out and spray them of to dust them! Great idea, but will they get to wet? If there anything special I need to do or care when spraying them? Please let me know, cause I desperately need to do this! :) Thanks for all the tips!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I got the head planter about 3 years ago from Homegoods.
