Backside help
Updated: November 23, 2005, 1:44 PM ETBy Chris Broussard | ESPN The Magazine
You can't know what drove him until you listen to the bars that rip over the hard-core, dirty South track his brother has laid down. You'll think it was ego or money or desperation. Or you'll think pride and perseverance were all he could call on when John Lucas ran him mercilessly, when doctors offered disheartening prognoses, when his own doubts pounded like drumbeats and hollered like fright in his head.
Let me give you the evolution of the Ford family tree. It started off with my daddy before it was me or L'il T. The bad times seem so long ago now. On this fall Friday afternoon in Milwaukee, no one in the Bucks' plush team lounge is thinking about feeling numb, getting hurt or being scared. Full-figured hotties gyrate in music videos on the big screen. There's chicken parmesan, pasta and chocolate cake for the taking. And more pressing matters to discuss. "He blames it on the coaching staff," assistant Lester Conner says playfully, rubbing the point guard's shoulders. "Y'all should've told me," T.J. Ford insists. "I can't believe y'all didn't tell me." Player and coach are in mock debate over what could have been Ford's first career triple-double. Grabbing one more rebound is all Ford didn't do a few days earlier in a season-opening 117-108 OT win in Philly. In Allen Iverson's grill like Tyronn Lue with some offense, Ford went for 16 points and 14 assists to go with those nine boards. Most important, he split three defenders before hitting Michael Redd for a three with 1.6 seconds left that tied the game.

I won't say that things in our nation couldn't be worse because they could be, and God forbid, will be, if we as a free people don't wake up from this comatose condition we now find ourselves in.
Is Michael Wheeler's July 19, column, "Food prices forecast to rise worldwide" a modern day prophesy?
In light of the proposed expansion of gambling here in Georgia, I would like to know exactly what will be done with the funds generated. Will it be used to replace funds currently allocated from the state budget for education, therefore allowing those funds to be used elsewhere?
I am really confused. Several Hall County commissioners talk about not raising taxes and a flat tax rate over the last eight years.
The Colorado movie kids' accused killer had purchased the weapons legally at three area gun stores in the last 60 days and bought 6,000 rounds of ammunition online, including a 100-round drum magazine for an assault rifle. Thank goodness buying a 100-round magazine is legal and raises no flags. Nice work writing law by the NRA and the gun manufacturers.
Our beloved nation once more must take communion from the bread of bitterness and the tea of sorrow. Another name is engraved upon the roll call of evil as Aurora is added to Tucson, Fort Hood, Virginia Tech and Columbine.
Is there misleading information regarding T-SPLOST?
Ten reasons to vote "no" on T-SPLOST
We do not need more roads; we need fewer cars.
The merits of the additional sales tax are understood because the need for improvements with roads and transportation are easy to see and understand. Can we believe this is the fix?
The argument for the transportation sales tax is based upon expediting much needed projects to be funded rather than the source of the revenue. The traditional approach for funding road work has been an excise tax on fuel, which is a user tax.
A letter in the July 20 issue of The Times contained a curious statement. The writer said, "Is it any wonder that the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, with it's staunch record of opposing any tax increase, is squarely behind T-SPLOST?"
Like the rest of us, I have seen many articles discussing the need for various transportation projects, the jobs and economic development that might ensue, the return on investment for our country and the absolute calamity that will befall us if T-SPLOST does not pass. What I have not seen discussed is the basic tax structure as proposed.
I am supportive of the proposed one-penny transportation tax known as T-SPLOST for many reasons. But as a physician, I have a personal insight into its potential to positively impact access to health care for patients throughout Northeast Georgia.
The big push to try to educate (sell) the voters on the virtues of increasing taxes as an investment has begun. Slick TV ads and testimonials from a lot of business people and elected officials tell us about this great investment opportunity we cannot afford to miss. They really want you to agree to pay an additional $200-$400 yearly for the next 10 years.
Several weeks ago, we looked back at the historic march that began in Selma, Ala., in March 1965. This event was a painful time in our nation's history, but a time that we can all gather great strength from.
Many people are like sheep concerning buzzwords. One participates and the rest follow the herd. Eventually, a buzzword becomes annoying, trite and ready for banishment.
The front page headline Sunday in The Times read "Where have all the voters gone?" Let's go back just a few months to the fall of 2014 when midterm elections were in the news. Recall The Times writing about how politicians in Hall County were concerned that SPLOST VII would not be passed by voters for a seventh time if SPLOST VII was placed on the November 2014 ballot?
I read with concern the two recent items in The Times regarding alleged bullying at Myers Elementary (March 7 article, March 19 letter to the editor). Quite honestly, I was confused; I thought perhaps I had read the name of the school incorrectly, and even more confused when I read the principal involved in the articles. I started shaking my head, thinking,"Are you kidding me? Are they really accusing Beth Hudgins of dealing improperly with a situation so potentially hurtful?"
I am writing in response to the article, "Bullying incidents test school policy in Hall County, Gainesville" of March 7. It saddened me to read such negative words about Beth Hudgins.
I recently read in The Times, and I was not really surprised, what sweet idea America has now: Tens of thousands of immigrant children are allowed here, in the good old u.s.a. via Florida.
Amidst the horror and grief of Selma and Ferguson, I heard a tender story that I would like to share with our readers.
Mary Drummer is right on about Georgia's senators being wrong to have sent a letter to Iran. They are certainly overstepping their place and proving once again that they, of the Republican party, are incapable of sensibly leading this country's government.
I am writing in response to the article from March 7, "Bullying incidents test school policy in Hall County, Gainesville." As a parent of a child in elementary school, the subject is concerning to me. However, I am not worried at all because my child goes to Myers Elementary School. I'm not worried because I have 100 percent faith in my son's teacher and his principal to do the right thing for my child, and those in his class.
There have been some recent headlines about home sales falling. Those headlines are misleading. Housing sales look different from one month to another and from one quarter to another.
On more than one occasion, I have taken pen to paper to offer my criticism of your newspaper. It is expected that we subscribers will do that. When a newspaper does something that I feel is commendable, I will also offer my praise as well as extending my subscription another quarter.

This sounds great! However, in the past it was difficult and unpleasant to work with the people at the M-A PAC. The manager was not very welcoming and extremely inflexible. Hope that gets fixed because it's another reason for the low interest in using the facility.

Wonderful! The performing arts center needs to be a central place for all...Adults, families and especially our youth.

Who sets the rental rates? Why can't these just be set lower? The result is the same, no?
Is this yet another example of really poor financial analysis and negotiations on the part of city staff? We taxpayers foot the bill for many years but the city didn't negotiate a deal that allows local performing groups to have ample time or reasonable rates without a subsidy? This stinks. What is really going on?

The Fieldston Lower Library is run by a staff of three: Patricia Davitt runs the circulation desk; Joan Arrowsmith is the pre-K-2nd grade librarian, and Barbara Sacharow is the 3rd-5th grade librarian. We are available every weekday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm to assist students, staff, and parents.
Please join us Wednesday, April 1, at 6:30 pm in the Student-Faculty Center at Feldston, as we explore "The Art and Science of Mindfulness" at an Assembly After Dark. RSVP to email@example.com.
Earlier this week, fifth graders at Fieldston Lower held their annual ballroom dance performance for family, faculty, and friends. The theme was "Around the World in 80 Days."
"Where Are the Girls on the Money?" asks a video pushing for a new U.S. bill featuring a woman--and the stars are Ethical Culture kindergartners.


text: Hi I'm Annie. I have been to Disney one time this past March. My mom passed away the beginning of February and a couple of weeks later my dad decided he wanted to go see his sister. So we took an impromptu trip to Orlando where she lives. We had been there for a couple of days when I decided I wanted to go to Disney. My dad and I picked Epcot and went the next day. It was an amazing day for my dad and I to just get away and escape reality for a little bit. As we were walking out that night I already knew I wanted to come back, little did I know my dad was thinking the same thing. We realize that this spur of the moment is not the best way of doing things I need to do a little planning this time. My dad and I are planning to go back January 2nd through the 7th as a last little vacation before I start grad school. My brother and his wife were going to go with us and we were going to stay at Art of Animation in a Cars suite but she just started a new job and can't get any time off. So now I'm planning again. As of now I think we are going to stay Port Orleans French Quarter but that is still up in the air. I am pretty much planning this trip on my own. My dad really doesn't care where we stay or care much for planning at all so I'm hoping to get lots of good ideas here. I have been lurking for a couple of months and have already and already found lots of good information. Can't wait to join in the conversations.

Comments about Extreme Cape Cod Pen:
I like the coop but it needs two things changed. It needs a window on the back side of it to allow more light in and the hardware for keeping the doors closed is too small and flimsy. I added some heavier duty clasps to ensure nothing can get in and that chickens rattling the cage won't jar them loose. Would prefer it Made in U.S.A.

Which exterior paint is best? BM or SW
We will soon be painting our new siding, it is LP Smartsiding. We are having a hard time deciding which brand of paint to go with. I have never used BM, but I have used SW interior paints a couple times. I used Duration and discovered their "satin" is closer to semi-gloss and shows every imperfection. I also was disappointed with their cashmere. Goes on great, and looks fine. I was just not aware that wiping it off (a year later) will take the paint off the wall. Not impressed.
Yet everything I have read, says they are both good paints. Any advice?
As with most online discussions of brands, Jaimie, I don't think you're going to get a satisfactory answer here. Both are solid brands, and both have good, better, best lines of paint, so any comparisons need to be between comparable grades of paint.
I've heard Sherwin Williams has good sales, so that might be a factor for you to consider. Or try Benjamin Moore since you haven't yet. My advice in this situation is to go with the store that has the better service or location. You don't want to run out of paint and have to drive 2 hours to get more (I've done a lot of reluctant color matches for people who didn't plan ahead and ran out of the brand they started with).

have: have: 2010 spring mag swap haves list
2010 Spring MAG Swap: Plants you Have List
Saturday May 8, 2010 from 10am to 1pm
at GardengrammaÂs Gorgeous Encampment
DIRECTIONS for the HAVES list:
- If you're new to the swaps, please take the time and have the courtesy to read these posts. They're here to help everyone have a good time.
- Yes, you can come if you don't have any plants. Your assignment will be to bring brownies food. Anything chocolate that you'd normally bring to a pot luck will be fine. Food & other contributions can be discussed under the MAG SPRING SWAP FOOD thread. Please chit-chat about it there, not here.
- Post a list of the plants you HAVE on this thread, ideally with Latin names as best you can to avoid confusion, and cultivar names if they have them.
This thread is not for your Wants. :) That's what the MAG Spring Swap: Plants you Want thread is for.
- Yes, Please also list other garden stuff, such as seeds, tools or books, or all things Garden that you wish to swap or give away. Another man's trash....
- Read other people's lists. If you see things you want and would like to swap or trade for, e-mail the person directly to arrange it. Do that via private email by clicking on your person's name at the top of their post.
Do NOT arrange the swap or trade on this thread, please.
- Do update your posting here and your member page with your Haves and Wants; feel free to link your post here to any Plant Exchange page you may have.
- This is important:
When you bring your plants, MARK RESERVED PLANTS (i.e., plants for which you have a pre-arranged swap). LABEL your plants if possible. We often forget which was what by the time we get them home! Popsicle stick, plastic spoons, or other "plantable markers" are great, as they can be popped right in to the ground along with the plant.
At the swap, please do NOT take anything that is labeled for someone else, or is NOT labeled "Free" or "Please Take." Ask. That's all you have to do.
- Questions? just include them in your post here, but please don't ask something addressed a gudzillion times. If you're asking and the answer is here, I'm going to know you've not appreciated my epic work.
- Have fun finding new homes for your surplus plants and discovering new plants you didn't know you needed!
Did I forget anything? Of course! So, let me know so I can fix it!
Wishing everyone a great swap! Happy gardening,
Thanks for getting the ball rolling, avoirgold!
For this year's spring swap, I will have the following to trade:
Salvia uliginosa - rooted offsets (6 or 8)
Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko' - rooted offsets, very small (5)
Viburnum of an unknown species, likely either carlesii or juddii. The mother plant is quite large. Rooted offsets (2). I will try to get a real identification before the swap.
Assuming the winter didn't kill them all, salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue' - rooted offsets (6).
Salix something-or-other 'Hakuro Nishiki' - rooted cuttings (7). These probably need to stay in a pot and be watered regularly until autumn.
If they root, rose scented geraniums - (10)
I will certainly bring:
Aloe vera
Black currants (5 or 6, varieties Minaj Smyriou and Hilltop Baldwin)
Dianthus 'Agatha' (1)
Iberis 'Purity'(3 or 4)
Yarrow 'Snowsport' (3 or 4)
I will bring, on request:
Echinops ritro seedlings
Walking onions (from Vlad)
Garlic chives
Geranium macrorrhizum 'Bevan's Variety'
Hay-scented ferns (from Vlad)
Rosa virginiana suckers
Right now I know I will have
Blue monkshood (about 7 new divisions, if you got closed out last year when I ran out, let me know in your email)
Celandine (wood) poppy
Obedient plant (warning can be invasive)
Lemon balm (is invasive, good as a pot plant)
Ditch lilies
From this year's winter sowing
Blue thimble plant
Apricot daisy calendula
More to come as the spring warms
KimKa (best to email me at my work email email@example.com
So far, I will have gardening magazines to give away (the good Professor gets first dibs on Fine Gardening), and two CDs my brother gave me - "A World of Plants" and "Herbal Guide." If all goes well, I will also have lots of tomato seedlings, which I hope some of you will grow and take to MAGTAG 2010, our tomato tasting festival in August.
I downsized my garden last year, but bulbs like daffodils, grape hyacinths, and wood hyacinths keep popping up.
Henrietta, are you still looking for rambling roses? Because I have one called Fiddletown Pink that I plan to dig up - I simply don't have the room for once-bloomers.

Who's the dahlia expert? Mine all dried out when I wasn't looking.....
I see that a number of people are planning to bring tomato seedlings so maybe I won't bring so many this year. I will bring peppers and eggplants although by May 8 they will be small and not ready to plant out. I have a number of Triple Crown thornless blackberries that have tip rooted that I can dig if someone wants any.
So far I have extras of these to bring to the swap. Most of these were on somebody's wants list, so let me know and I'll put your name on them.
celandine wood poppy
vinca minor
yellow foxgloves
orange ditch lilies
virginia bluebells
green and gold
new england and new york asters
Phlox divaricata
Sedum ternatum
DH and I have made a pact - if I reduce the number of gardens I have, he will mow and trim. So, I should have plenty of goodies this year. Offhand, in addition to the things I've already listed, I should have bearded iris, variegated solomon's seal, possibly japanese kerria, daffodils, variegated-leaf vinca minor and purple-flowered vinca minor (rather than the more common blue); wood aster, white joe-pye weed, various roses, and who knows what else. Keep in mind that I am not swapping - I'm giving things away.
This is what I have this year:
- solomon's seal (plain green)
- pulmonaria (unnamed, old variety)
- pollia japonica
- siberian iris (purple)
- virginia bluebells (limited)
- hay scented ferns
- giant parsley (limited)
- daffodils (yellow, early)
- native columbine
Seedlings (of which I'll pot a bunch together)
- great blue lobelia
- hellebore
- foxglove 'alba'
Hi, everybody-
Here's an update on my HAVES
I'm all out of the variegated solomon's seal. I've emailed the folks who I'm saving some for. Don't worry; I'll have more next year - it grows like a weed in my garden.
I've also decided to keep the trellis.
1. Peegee hydrangea (Hydrangea Paniculata grandiflora), Mine is about 3-1/2 ft tall and pruned to look like a small tree. JanetM says she will take it if nobody else is interested.
2. Summer Snowflake -Leucojum aestivum. Pretty bulb that is blooming right now - white bells; each petal has a green spot.
3. Frederic Mistral", a pink, very fragrant, blackspot-resistant hybrid tea that can be grown as a climber.
4. Tall Bearded iris - It hasn't bloomed yet, but I believe it is "Immortality," reblooming white variety. If not, it's probably a once-blooming light blue that my sister-in-law gave me. Perhaps it will bloom before the swamp.
4. Slender Deutzia (Deutzia gracilis), a short shrub that has white flowers about to bloom right now.
5. Dwarf crape myrtle that I grew from seed. It is the classic watermelon color, and doesn't get taller than 2-3 feet, although it might if you let it.
6. Oenothera speciosa (pink evening primrose). Very pretty, but invasive. It has lovely pink flowers, and the leaves turn red late in the summer.
7. Grape hyacinth - always have too many of these!
8. Various gardening tools - my in-laws always give me tools for Christmas and I have some duplicates.
I have the following to share:
Sea holly eryngium planum
Zebra grass Miscanthus sinensis
Fountain Grass Penisetum setaceum
Japanese anemone pink Konigin Charlotte
Hosta plain green leaves, purple flowers, Potomac Pride
Rose Campion Lychnis coronaria
Red Hot poker Kniphofia uvaria
Japanese maple seedlings Acer palmatum
Tall white garden phlox P. paniculata
Lambs ears Stachys lanata
Let me know by email what you would like me to bring for you.
I also have a lot of stuff that everyone else seems to have!
I have a few of each of the following for trade:
Dianthus Siberian blues
Sedum Angelina
Baptisia blue (seedlings)
Sedum Variegated
Hen and chicks NOID
Lupine purple or pink
phlox a mix of varieties 1st and 2nd year starts
Cherry Bells
Seedlings started from winter sowing:
Leucanthemum crazy Daisy
Leucanthemum Snowdrift
I will also bring some extra plants.
This list will probably grow.
So far, he's what I have:
Yarrow (pink/white flowers)
Chocolate mint
Mexican Evening Primrose (warning -- spreads, but has pretty pink/white flowers)
Cranesbill Geranium
Lambs Ears (Helen von Stein, no blooms, nice large fuzzy leaves)
Columbines (mixed colors -- pale pink, deep magenta)
Sedums (assorted)
Liatris (blazing star)
Coreopsis (goldfink) - (limited have a couple)
Cleome seedlings
Here's a start:
Strawberries: not sure of variety, but they have flowers already
Columbines: These came up in the compost pile -either I tossed some seedlings or some seeds. Possibly A. alpina (blue) or maroon. I should know soon.
Peonies: named varieties in pots. Smallish, but will be fine in the long run. Crinkled white, Sword Dancer, Nippon Moon, Pink Lemonade
Yarrow: Summer berries
I finally got a chance to take stock, and here's what I know I have so far (I'm sure this list will grow):
- Japanese Anemone (pink, possibly Robisitussima?)
- Anemone sylvestris
- Purple lilac suckers
- Echinacea (mixed clumps of purple and white)
- Agastache (generic anise hyssop, and Golden Jubillee)
- Lilly of the Valley
- Blackberry Lillies (Belamcanda chinensis)
- Siberian Iris "Caesar's Brother"
- Cherry Bells Campanula
- Various mixed potted Hostas grown from seeds I got from trades
- Tree peony seedlings -- the parents are either dark pink (almost red) or light pink
- Oregano
- Orange Thyme (small seedlings)
- Tarragon
- Cilantro
- Basil (Thai, lettuce leaf)
- Valerian officinalis
- Egyptian Walking Onions
- Unknown dark fruited fig (potted, should be hardy to this area with winter protection)
- Unrooted fig cuttings (Brown Turkey, Dessert King, Golden Celeste)
- Hot Peppers: Jalapeno
- Alpine strawberries
- Honeoye strawberries
- Cucumbers: Sumpter, Sweet Success
- Tomato: Cherokee Purple Potato leaf
I have a caryopteris I will dig if someone wants it. It is languishing under a maple at my house.
I've also got a good-sized clump of geranium macrorrhizum I transplanted last fall just for the swap and forgot about! This plant doesn't transplant particularly well, so I hope the clump will do OK for someone since it's had months to stabilize after being divided.
Forgot to mention:
the hardwood cuttings of 'Madonna' sambucus are leafing out, so they probably have some roots. They're available! This is a big shrub. The mailorder plant descriptions say it blooms and sets fruit the way regular sambucus does, but I've never seen this one with flowers. Maybe mine isn't old enough yet (it's three years old).
lamium--variegated with a yellow flower spike
Japanese ferns--limited number
yellow corydalis--limited number
hellebores--traditional colors, one is a a burgundy color and I can't remember the other color--white, green, or pink
chives--regular and garlic--limited number
Please contact me if you want to trade for any of these.
Blackberry Lily (Belamcanda chinensis)
Fringed Bleeding Heart (Dicentra eximia) (one year-old seedlings)
Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata) Common pink
Perennial ageratum (Eupatorium coelestinum)
Sedum ÂAutumn JoyÂ
Rudbeckia fulgida ÂGoldsturm (close variation since this does not come back true from seed)
Lily of the valley (good supply)
Ostrich fern (good supply)
Yellow flag (huge supply)
Common orange daylilies (huge supply, barerooted)
Mahonia japonica seedlings
Cleome seedlings (huge supply)
Feverfew seedlings
All my anemone have been spoken for.
I'll throw some composted manure in all the holes when I dig them up for the swap and I'll bet we have 20 new plants to share next year!
I'm so excited for the swap. I already have more than 20 people bringing plants for me and I've agreed to bring more than fifty plants to trade.
For labels: I'm using old plastic mini blinds that are cut to the right size. I still need a good idea for containers.
Many thanks to the Granma for hosting and the other organizers!
Have added a few more plants. I'm reposting my entire list rather than having the news things split from the original list.
Spreads by seeds:
Blackberry Lily (Belamcanda chinensis)
Fringed Bleeding Heart (Dicentra eximia) (one year-old seedlings)
Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata) Common pink
Sedum ÂAutumn JoyÂ
Rudbeckia fulgida ÂGoldsturm (close variation since this does not come back true from seed)
Yellow flag (huge supply)
Mahonia japonica seedlings
Cleome seedlings (huge supply)
Feverfew seedlings
Lemon balm
Golden ragwort (Packera aurea)
Spreads by runners; relatively easy to control:
Lily of the valley (good supply)
Ostrich fern (good supply)
Common orange daylilies (huge supply, barerooted)
Dwarf Comfrey (Symphytum ibericum)
Spreads by runners; can be aggressive (but worth growing I think)
Perennial ageratum (Eupatorium coelestinum)
Euphorbia robbiae (lime-green flower)
I should have these, mostly in small quantities:
Agastache 'Blue Delight' (similar to 'Blue Fortune'), 3.5" pots
Aster frikartii, 1-year plants, quarts
Aster tartaricus 'Jin Dai,' divisions, quarts
Brugmansia, name forgotten, shell pink blooms turning more gold as they mature, rooted cuttings (parent plant stayed compact & bloomed very early last year)
Digitalis (foxglove) ÂFoxy, seedlings, 4-packs
Geranium ÂBiokovo, small divisions, 2" pots
Helleborus x hybridus (Lenten rose), 1-year plants, 3.5" pots
Persicaria ÂRed Dragon, small divisions, 3.5" pots
Pulmonaria, seedlings of Mrs. Moon, 3.5" pots
Salvia guaranitica, divisions, 3.5" pots
Salvia urica (upright form, supposedly reaches 5-6 ft), seedlings, 2" pots (probably not hardy in z7)
Sedum 'Autumn Joy,' ÂBlue Spruce,' 'Acre,' divisions dug by request demand
Garlic chives
Peppermint (divisions, quart pots)
Here is what I'll be bringing in small quantities. Some of the perennials were given to me by my MIL a few years back so I don't know exact varieties.
Lambs ear (1 or 2)
Heirloom tomato seedlings (wonÂt know which varieties until that day)
Raspberry canes, possibly everbearing.
Sedum cuttings (likely Autumn Joy)
Yellow evening primrose (i think?, in 3.5" pots; can bring 10-12)
Rudbeckia, Irish eyes (3)
Vinca w/purple flowers (3-5, in 3.5" pots)
Variegated ribbon grass (green & white stripes; looks like Phalaris arundinacea 'Picta')
Clivia (tropical, orange blooms) (3) Houseplant but can go outside for summer.
yes i am back from Washington State. You once again will be thrilled by my attendance at the swap.. Not much of a cook. would it be ok to bring couple tubs of KFC. Or a big lasagna and we could reheat there. What do you think. Have some big pots.
.named daylilies, no Stella
may have some dahlia tubers.
if anyone is going to use upside down tomato cages for plant stakes bring them with you i am bringing bolt cutters to remove the legs. Steve S
An acquaintance of mine is downsizing from a house to an apartment, and she invited me to check out what was going to the curb. I stuffed the car full.
I'll classify this as "Useful plastic junk that's a PITA to buy but is great to get for free".
Gardengramma gets first pick, Janet M gets second pick, Professor Dirt gets third pick.
After that, it's up for grabs.
In addition to the upthread stuff, I've got:
snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) bulbs
Heliopsis (perennial sunflower) 'Flore Pleno' divisions
And, for the invasives connoisseurs, a boltonia that's pretty in the fall but way too imperialistic for the place I have it. If anyone wants some (or a LOT), I'll dig it the morning of the swap.
I just checked my garden and I have a few more things to share:
money plant
Sunberry (Solanum Burbankii) - I like to grow different things and had high hopes for these (waiting for my blueberries to mature) but do not like the taste. Here is a description: SUNBERRY was bred in the early 1900s by Luther Burbank (1849-1926) and it is not at all related to huckleberry or blueberry to which it is sometimes compared. The fruit is purplish-black when ripe and the size of peas. The flavor is akin to blueberries but less sweet. But cooked in pies and jams it is yummy! The small shrub grows 12"-24" but remarkably can begin bearing fruit when only a few inches high
Unrooted cuttings I can bring (branches from pruning that I've done):
Jiro persimmon
Euonymus fortunei
climbing hydrangea
concord grape
azaleas of varying white, pink and red colors
Plants I can dig/pull at your request:
wild ornamental invasive strawberry (yellow flowers)
Asters (blue, exact latin variety; don't know)
Morning glory (invasive blue/purple)
chinese garlic chives
mint (spearmint, peppermint)
raspberry (red; variety not known)
yarrow (white achillea millefolium proa)
Shiso/Perilla (purple Japanese Aka?)
tansy (tanacetum vulgare)
Vinca minor (violet flowers)
Volunteer saplings:
Plastic plastic containers that purchased plants came in
Very old beer for snails
Old gardening tools (if you're good at restoration, they're yours)
A big pile of expired seeds (don't know how long seeds are good for, but I've kept them dry and out of the sun).
Hello everybody!
I have been so behind on everything that I finally get myself together to make this posting. I have not dug anything yet! If you find something on my Have list that you are interested in, let me know. Maybe we can make a trade? What I need the most are part shade plants for my backyard. Interesting shrubs and deer resistant plants are welcomed.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bugmagnet's trade list
Hi, Here is what I have, # of plants would be very limited, may have 1 or 2 only due to small backyard gardening practice. Won't be available for many, my apologies in advance.
.Mophead hydrangea, pink, big one, can easily divide to 2-3 bushes, will need to dig, bring only if anyone wants it. Mary gets one already.
.Hardy Hibiscus, Rose Mallow, Swamp Mallow
Hibiscus moscheutos
.Okra seedling or seeds
.fig potted, need to find the variety. from UC Davis cutting last year. Survived the winter with protection outdoor.
.Chive, garlic type, the one Asian use for cooking, have seeds too.
.Pepper seedling, medium hot long type.
.Beard iris
.(3-5) common lily, yellow or blue
.(1) One potted tropical Hibiscus, small but already flowered once.
H. rosa-sinensis' Full, Ruffly Double
. Asparagus roots, 5 to 7 roots available (from Mary, garden type, not house plant)
What I can get plenty:
.planting pots, usually the smaller sizes, 3", 4", 8", up to 1-2 gallon plastic pots that you usually get from nursery buying plants. Some slightly larger ones might be available too. Will bring larger ones only if someone ask for them and my car space allows. Let me know by Tuesday night so I can grab some Wednesday morning. Will bring some anyway. Anyone contacted me in advance get the ones reserved though.
If you have any that's on my wanted list, I'd love to trade. Please check out my wanted list :
OK, I have moved to a new house. This house has asphalt & turf. that's it. therefore, I have:
-2 Gillete Fusion Razors, new in their cases (come with 2 sets of cartriges.) You can use these to shave in the garden :-) If anyone wants one, I'll bring them to the SWAP to trade something. They are expensive, and a great gift item!
In addition to the trades that I've already set up I'm also bringing a bunch of WS tomato seedlings for anyone who would like them. There are about a dozen varieties - everything from Blondkopfchen yellow grade tomatoes to Great White and Kentucky Dinnerplate. I've also got some NOID silene which I think is pink.
Also found several small seedlings from my weeping japanese maple tree - since this is a graft I know the seedlings will not come true to the parent tree. These seem to be all green with deeply cut leaves. Let me know if you're interested and I will dig these.
Trades are getting slimmer. I've been weeding out the plants I don't want over the past few years and haven't got enough of the plants I like to be able to divide much. Hope that changes in a year or two!
I can bring:
My seed stash
1 black walnut seedling
Daylilies (unknown type but definitely not ditch lilies)
Mums (yellow)
Black eyed susans
Grape hyacinth bulbs
Lycoris bulbs
Small flowered coreopsis seedlings
Russian sage cuttings (roots easily in water during the spring)
Star of Bethlehem bulbs (can be VERY invasive and is very poisonous to dogs and cats but perhaps in a pot it wouldn't be too bad)
Hyacinthoides (wood hyacinth)-white
I may not get to dig all of these (time is getting short), so let me know if you want something and I'll make sure I bring it.
Diana Lynn
I'm very late to the game, but I'm planning to attend the swap. Here's what I can bring:
Tall perennial sunflower (Helianthus maximilian?)
Tatarian Aster
Rose Campion
Lambs Ear
Iberis - Candytuft
double purple columbine
light pink chrysanthemum
mistflower - Eupatorium coelestinum
Red daylilies
Culinary Thyme
Nandina - various sizes from 1 ft to 5 ft
I have a healthy supply of most of the above.

Watercolour 36×26cm painted with artist's watercolour on Arches 140not paper.
Had fun making this country scene a little more festive with the addition of a holly bush in the foreground. I have to thank one of my students, Alan, for letting me use his photo for reference for this painting. This was during last year's snow….unusual these days for the UK. This year is even worse, with temperatures of minus7c here today on 7/12/10.
Beautiful work Ann.
Oui on voit à la télé qu'il fait vraiment très froid chez vous ! Ici il a fait -3° juste une journée…
You are the queen of the snowy scenes, Ann !
Merci Corinne….Eh oui, aujourd'hui -9c! Et on n'arrive pas a marcher sur les trottoirs qui sont couverts de glace.
– Ann Mortimer
Minus 10 c here right now – brrrrrr This piece is spectacular!!! The holly really sets it off.
Thanks Marsha. We were -9c this morning…we just don't do temperatures like that in England! Very beautiful though from the inside where it's warm!
– Ann Mortimer
Wow what a Beautiful painting love it
Thank you Maggie! Nice words!
– Ann Mortimer
Beautiful Ann, and yes the holly sets it off beautifully. You sure have had it cold over there.
Thanks Susan!

Fantastic piece, very well done.
Thank you Kostas!

Beautifully composed Ann, from the details in the foreground to the fantastic tree line in the background. Particularly like the colours in the frozen stream. Very well done.

Kitchen Faucet panic
I ordered this faucet after I read a review on it that it could be mounted with the handle in the front.
After receiving the faucet and looking at the mounting instructions I was unsure if I could do this. I have searched and searched but I can't find that review, and I'm now wondering if I was mistaken and it was for a different faucet.
I used the Q&A service seen on many of the internet shopping sites to ask if the handle could be mounted on the front. I have received 3 conflicting answers. Here they are:
"I took a look at the installation spec sheets for this product and based on how it installs there doesn't seem to be any reason why you wouldn't be able to install this with the handle in the front."
"The Vigo VG02001 can not be mounted any differently than displayed in the picture."
"The handle can only be mounted on the side."
The counters are being templated next week, and I need to let them know where I want the hole for the faucet to be. I may not have enough room with the granite backsplash if it has to be mounted on the side.
Does anyone here have plumbing knowledge that can look at the instructions and let me know for sure,or does anyone have this faucet who has mounted it in the front?
Here's the link to the mounting directions:
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.build.com/mediabase/specifications/vg02001.pdf
If you end up buying a Hansgrohe instead, be sure that the swivel is 360 degrees. The 150 degree swivel does not allow the handle on the front. They have both styles of swivel, under differing lines of Hansgrohe. I bought one on ebay thinking that it would be workable but it is not. I currently have an off brand faucet that I have had the handle in the front for almost 2 years and I love that feature. My off brand looks sort of like the Hansgrohe that Breezy has. But the thing is spraying weird so I thought I'd switch to a real Hansgrohe. Well I got fooled with the style of swivel I guess. Hansgrohe support told me that the handle can't be mounted in the front. I didn't ask why as I took the faucet apart while waiting for tech response and could see why.
So now that I have taken my new faucet apart, and see why it wont swivel, I am thinking of modifying it :) Don't tell DH of my plans. I might run the idea past my plumber first, then if he can't take it further apart to modify, I am going to get my tools out an make the fix!!! But thats just me. I never recommend others to follow in my wayward foot steps.
I don't really know the answer. I would assume that you would just mount it with the handle in the front and then swivel into position. I see where they say it is 360. Could it be that it is the flexible top that is 360? The picture would lead you to believe it is the post area. I would be interested in what others have to say. Do you have a plumber? That would be a great resource too.
Not the best diagram. Most give options for faucets that can be mounted more than one way.
Have you tried calling the company? If not, I would do that Mon. and only take the word of the manufacturer about what to do.
Having said that, the faucet swivels 360 according to the diagram so may be possible to mount the handle in front. That means you will pull the handle toward you to turn the water on, then swivel from left to right for hot to cold.
Meanwhile, to cover a worst-case-basis side mount, measure the length of the wand/handle plus the round part below it from the top of the wand to the bottom of the round part below.
That's the maximum possible clearance to operate the faucet with the valve mounted on the side but since the hot/cold action is a 90-degree arc (not 180) figure the hot/cold action as halfway back towards the 'splash and halfway forwards toward the sink.
But, a lot depends on the sink specs, too. In general, the important measurement is from the center of the faucet stem back to the surface of the 'splash for this.
The info linked may help you rough out the possible worst-case placement in your mind. Key numbers are from the center point in the faucet stem (wherever it will be placed) to the wall. If there's no tile or splash material, estimate how thick that will be more or less and count it in.
May be easiest to get someone to hold the faucet up for you in "pretend" space or do a paper counter template with the sink drawn on top and a hole for the faucet placed there too.
I'd have all the measurements handy if you call the company.
Here is a link that might be useful: Making Sense of Kitchen Faucets
That link is really great. I wish I had seen that article before ordering. I will take measurements and call the company on Monday. I had sent them an email but did not get a response.
One Q&A I read says you need 3 inches from faucet to backspash. My cabinets are 31 1/2 X 24 inches. The sink is 30 X 18 on the exterior and 28 X 16 on the interior. Does that sound like everything should fit if I have to mount the faucet with the handle on back? There would be an inch and 1/2 overhang on the counter making front to back of granite 25 1/2 inches to work with.
I hadn't thought about projection before reading the article. It says, "For an ideal installation, the faucet spout should line up with the center of the sink drain so that when the faucet operates, water flows into the drain."
Here's 2 pictures showing the projection:
In these picture the water flow is barley touching the edge of the drain and it looks like the drain is offset towards the back. My sink has a center drain in the middle. I guess I need to pick out a new sink right?
I never knew this part of updating would be so complicated.
The ideal is for the water stream to go smack down the center of the drain like ctycdm's pic above. But there's some wiggle room.
Sink diagram tells you where the drain falls. Then check the projection (your Vigo is 9-1/2"). With those two measurements you can tell where the faucet needs to sit on the sink deck -- ideally -- so it lines up.
There are no "rules" on faucet placement. If the counter is stone, they don't want the faucet hole drilled too close to the edge. So usually the set back is about 2" or so. About 3" is needed behind the center point of the faucet -- but if you have the faucet in the house you can measure the back projection -- push the wand all the way back and measure from the center to the tip with a ruler.
If the sink is 18" deep and the cabinet is 24" that leaves roughly 6 inches. If it's an undermount sink (and depending on the way the sink is made and depending on the cabinets) sometimes they can cheat it and scooch the sink forward a little to give more space in the back. I find it more comfortable to work at sink pulled as far forward as possible but that takes it off center from above and makes the stone thinner at the front edge which they don't like to do as it's harder to install.
In the top pic (black counter) -- there is no way that faucet can function. No idea what they are thinking using that photo. Second one, you're correct, the faucet doesn't line up very well. Again, not helpful.
But unless there's some quirk in the way the faucet is designed -- which they can tell you -- you may be good to go with the front install. For comparison you might take a look at spec sheets for the Grohe Ladylux faucets which can be front installed. Suspect all this is worst-case stuff but still useful to know.
Love the faucet btw. I have a similar set up.
I had a similar problem. My faucet lever would not recline all the way back for the hot water so my husband just twisted the round thing on the inside to recalibrate where it would put out hot water and it works fine.
You can see how close it is to the bar edge so that is why my husband had to adjust the insides of the faucet so that straight up is now at the hottest setting and all the way forward is cold. Took a little getting used to but solved a major crisis as the faucet was pretty useless until DH came to the rescue and fixed it. I didn't want it to the front as I have that middle divider in the sink and that wouldn't have worked so well, also I just like the way it looks better to the side. I love my faucet BTW. At first I was just ..meh, but I have really grown to love it. Hooray! One thing I like, I never seem to like anything after it's in, ha ha. Or it just doesn't look like I thought it would.
My sink will be installed as a flush undermount.
Thanks gr8day for the picture and everyone else who has responded. I don't have the sink diagram yet. I haven't been able to find one online. It is from Royal USA, and is the one that the fabricators offered with my granite purchase. I will try to get the measurements from the company tomorrow. It looks to me like I will need to get a new sink though judging from the pictures, since mine has a center drain.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

Henry calls on experience
ESPNscrum Staff
August 25, 2011

Anthony Fainga'a Jerome Kaino James O'Connor Radike Samo Isaia Toeava Dan Vickerman Sonny Bill Williams
All Blacks coach Graham Henry has recalled a host of stars for their decisive Tri-Nations clash with Australia in Brisbane on Saturday.
Captain Richie McCaw and fly-half Dan Carter return for the All Blacks among 11 changes to the starting XV that lost to South Africa in Port Elizabeth. Only prop Tony Woodcock, hooker Keven Mealamu, flanker Adam Thomson and lock Sam Whitelock retain their places from the 18-5 defeat.
Jerome Kaino and Sonny Bill Williams are the major casualties with neither even finding their way on to the bench. Isaia Toeava covers the centres and back three from the bench with Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith once again linking up in midfield and Zac Guildford and Cory Jane selected on the wings. Piri Weepu ousts Jimmy Cowan at scrum-half while Brad Thorn packs down with Whitelock in the engine room and Owen Franks joins Mealamu and Woodcock in the front row.
Queensland Reds lock James Horwill will lead Australia for the first time, becoming the 77th Wallabies Test captain, following Rocky Elsom's demotion. Horwill packs down alongside Dan Vickerman, who makes his first start for the Wallabies since August 2008, with Nathan Sharpe captaining the Australian Barbarians against Canada on Friday.
Radike Samo makes his first start since 2004 at No.8 while Reds team-mate Anthony Faingaa is the beneficiary of James O'Connor's suspension as he comes off the bench to start alongside Pat McCabe in the centres. Adam Ashley-Cooper moves to right wing.
Australia: Kurtley Beale, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Anthony Fainga'a, Pat McCabe, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore, Ben Alexander, Dan Vickerman, James Horwill, Rocky Elsom, David Pocock, Radike Samo
Replacements: Saia Fainga'a, Salesi Ma'afu, Rob Simmons, Ben McCalman, Scott Higginbotham, Luke Burgess, TBC
New Zealand: Mils Muliaina, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu , Zac Guildford, Daniel Carter, Piri Weepu; Tony Woodcock, Keven Mealamu, Owen Franks, Brad Thorn, Samuel Whitelock, Adam Thomson, Richie McCaw (c), Kieran Read

Hi: 13° Lo:3°
By Gary Smee Tuesday 19 February 2013 Updated: 20/02 11:16
TWO MEN charged with murdering an inmate at HMP Long Lartin have appeared in court via video-link.
Gary Smith, 47, and Lee Newell, 44, are both accused of killing Subhan Anwar who was found dead in his cell at the South Littleton maximum security prison last Thursday (February 14).
The pair have been moved from Long Lartin to separate jails and appeared at Worcester Crown Court on a split-screen television link.
This morning's (Tuesday) preliminary hearing only lasted a few minutes while both men confirmed their names and that they understood the charges.
Mr Anwar, aged 25, was serving a minimum of 23 years after being convicted of the murder of his partner's two-year-old daughter, Sanam Navsarka, in Huddersfield in February 2009.
A post mortem examination found the cause of death was consistent with injuries from a broken neck.
Smith and Newell were remanded in custody case until a plea and case management hearing on May 7.

Artisan: Gulam Rasool
"I belong to a family who has a long relationship with the art of sculpting marble. I became interested in this rich work and started helping my father in his work. My father was an expert in marble sculpting and jali (openwork). He was honored with the State Award for Excellence in marble sculpting in 1979. I learned a lot from him and chose to follow his path.
"After working with my father for a long time, I ventured out on my own. I experimented with different designs and gave a new dimension to the traditional styles. At that time, there were very few tourists coming to India and all we got from a hard day's work were a few bucks from selling souvenir items made of soapstone. Over the years, however, things have changed as far as our work's popularity is concerned. More and more tourists come to India to learn about our exquisite art. And this has helped artisans a lot.
"After years of hard work, I was honored with a state award for excellence in marble handicrafts. Today, I am proud to mention that I have earned a name for myself in the art of jali work. The opportunity to work with Novica is unique and I am delighted to be associated with them. Now I can show my work to the world."

Acquired 3 different bulbs early....what to do?
I got a great deal on some plants, but am wondering just how good of a deal it will turn out to be.....
I purchased a bag of 10 lilium 'stargazer' bulbs. I've seen mixed reviews about this aesthetic appeal of this lily, I've seen forced, and garden kinds....I like them, and love the smell. Seemingly minor bulb damage and 5 of them have a stem starting.
Another purchase was 2 dahlia 'kogane fubuki' tubers (tubers, right?)...but they look more like 15 smaller ones making 2 greater ones. Always loved dahlia's, but am very new to growing them, can't spot any "eyes" that I think they need those to grow. Tubers are not in great shape, some smaller pieces are broken off and some others twisted where they meet.
Last was a canna 'Bengal tiger'. Looks like it will live to me. A little rot set in the stem parts and the tips of bulbs.
I can supply pictures tomorrow for some feedback on whether or not they look viable, but for now.....how do I go about storing them? The only cool area's I have is an unheated garage, a fridge, basement that probably stays around 60F and a room upstairs that might be a bit cooler than the basement. This winter has been pretty darn cold, I think the 20F below zero nights are over, but still getting single digit lows... so I'm not sure if the dahlia, and canna can be stored in there....maybe not even the lilies?
Sorry if this seems longer than it should be.....I'm so excited for spring I can barely think straight.lol
Get those lilies into potting mix asap. And watered. Lucky you. Since they've sprouted they will quickly poke thru the soil and need sunlight - does your cold upstairs' room have it?
The dahlias (typical with broken tuberous roots) can be held in their airtight bags, with whatever packing mix they're in, in your basement. If they are early bloomers and begin to sprout before outdoor temps. are ok, they will need indoor potting and sun. Don't worry about not seeing eyes. There are probably several.
If you have sulfer dust the canna with it. If you don't use Comet. That sound a little serious to me.
I'm excited too!! My half price hyacinths from Home Depot are blooming with tulips and daffodils. Love spring!
Thank Iris_gal :)
Im envious! I probably won't be seeing anything for at least a couple more weeks.
Here is the lily bulbs....The pic is the one with the largest stem. I was hoping they would survive the unheated garage until I can plant outside....gonna head to the store after this post.lol
Canna, where my thumb is, the stem is rotted but the bulb itself is still firm. Some tips where it looks like stems were are also rotted.
Did you prepare your lily site in autumn, with the usual compost and amendments?
Are you expecting any more hard frosts?
If the ground is soft enough to work now, can you rig frost protection over it such as thick mulch and horticultural fleece over some hoops? Whatever suits your site and climate.
If you didn't prep the ground - get some old, clean paint pails - 5 gallon size. Use a spade bit half inch to three fourths diameter (like you'd use for wood working) and drill out at least five holes through the bottom. You want excellent drainage.
You can use them for both the dahlias and the lilies. One dahlia to a pail and no more than three lily bulbs per pail.
Plant the lilies quite deeply. They'll put out anchor roots from the main bulb, then feeder roots above the bulb which is why they need to be set fairly deeply. (4-6") You can add some slow release granules and you might want to put a cane in the middle of the pail because the lilies can grow 3'+ when they are happy and settled.
Unless you are prepared to winter mulch and protect your dahlias, you are probably going to have to lift the tubers each year once they've been cut back by the first frosts. Which means - plant them where you won't have to battle your way past tree roots or other competition. Make it easy from the start.
For the canna - another pail. They prefer a rich mix that's also free-draining, and plant about five inches down. It's another one you might have to lift in autumn, depending on your local climate.
When your weather settles, and you can work your soil again, plant out your treasures with the least disturbance you can manage and firm them in without squashing the air out of the soil.
The dahlia and the canna will both appreciate being watered deeply in summer. And being fed/mulched, too.
So long as the garage doesn't stay frozen for days, and you get no worse than -5C, with the freeze lasting less than a day, all of those plants 'should' be fine.
Hope they're all glorious for you.
The cannas for public plantings here get started in a greenhouse, six weeks before the last frost date in the smallest pot that will fit the tuber. They get potted up or planted in the ground later. You can start yours early if you have a warm bright spot indoors and you're eager to see green.
I have "Bengal Tiger" and don't store mine at all, though I have other varieties I store dormant over winter. I started with a tiny tissue culture start in a 2" pot. The first autumn I worried the tuber wasn't big enough to survive a long dormancy, so I kept it as a leafy houseplant on a windowsill all winter. This worked beautifully. I'm doing it again this year. Bengal Tiger is gorgeous, you'll love it.
I have everything potted in large containers :), well......everything I had at time of posting. I got more things.lol. Dahlia 'color spectacle', 'penolope', and 'sky angel'. I'll pot them up as well.
I'm looking forward to Bengal tiger :) What other varieties do you grow? I was looking for some other canna's with dramatic foliage. I saw a 'cleopatra' last year, but did not realize the foliage had some chocolate in them. It was just showing the flower on the package.
