I added something to it though for houseplants, "Flipping", (although it's really rotating, I needed a word that started with "F".) That's so I remember to give my houseplants a quarter turn each week. Just thought I'd share my silliness, but it works for me.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666139336819024637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-46475348376916200552009-03-20T19:02:00.000-06:002009-03-20T19:02:00.000-06:00Wait come back here...... what kind do you use? fi...Wait come back here...... what kind do you use? fish fertilizer...... time release...... miracle grow.....<BR/>That is a great idea...... what about hydrangeas....... what do you use on them?<BR/>Hugs<BR/>LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-17365660259715794952009-03-20T18:16:00.000-06:002009-03-20T18:16:00.000-06:00I just stopped by to say hello*!

I bought some bulbs and tubers a while back (canna's, dahlia's, asiatic lilies) and I was so excited about them, I left them in my dining room on the buffet. Anyway - the sunlight and warm air meant that they started to sprout. I've got a 4" plant in a bag! I already pre-planted my canna's and they're doing really well, but I'm worried about planting my dahlia bulbs and asiatics - since they can't be planted outside until the end of may. (Gotta love this weather!) So do you have any advice? Do I plant the ones that have already sprouted? Will they die if I don't?niartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328154164462941199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-31645713464819183932009-03-20T08:03:00.000-06:002009-03-20T08:03:00.000-06:00I put ironite on the lawns yesterday, I love the w...I put ironite on the lawns yesterday, I love the way it greens them up so well, and funny I was going to fertilize today anyway, kind of a first day of Spring thing!
