Wornhoff tapped to fill Cedar Lake council seat
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent January 29, 2013 10:22PM
Updated: March 2, 2013 7:02AM
CEDAR LAKE — Former Town Council President Greg Wornhoff on Tuesday was tapped to replace councilman Dale Poston, R-3rd, who resigned earlier this month.
Wornhoff was selected by a Republican caucus conducted at the Hanover Township Trustee's Office. Six of the town's 10 delegates were on hand for the caucus. Wornhoff defeated newcomer Nathan Vis by a 5-1 vote in the first round of voting.
Vis is a lawyer and was appointed to serve on the town's Redevelopment Commission in September. He will continue to serve on the commission and was encouraged by Wornhoff to seek the Ward 3 nomination in the 2015 Republican primary.
Wornhoff served four years on the Town Council, two of those as its president. He has also served more than 20 years on the town's Stormwater Management Board.
Both men agreed the town is on the cusp of development and careful planning must be put in place to ensure growth takes place beneficially. Wornhoff said it is only a matter of time before the Illiana Expressway is constructed and officials need to guide development connected with it.
"We need to be proactive and have a plan in place," Wornhoff said.
Randall Niemeyer, Town Council president and one of the caucus delegates, said Poston had to resign his position after moving out of Ward 3. He had been absent for a number of Town Council meetings prior to the resignation.
Niemeyer said while Poston's absence did not affect the town's ability to conduct business he is looking forward to having the full council seated.
"We have a lot of work to do," he said.

During pregnancy, every woman wants to keep, and maintain, that beautiful, healthy pregnant glow. But sometimes that glow can become a mask, an acne breakout, or any other common skin problem that many women find themselves facing.
Get that perfect pregnant glow
Here are three solutions to some of the most common skin problems experienced during pregnancy.
Pregnancy mask
A pregnancy mask, referred to as chloasma or melasma, is a skin pigmentation condition where the skin, usually on the face, develops dark patches. This is caused by increased melanin in the body as a result of higher levels of estrogen and progesterone.
The best solution for preventing and treating pregnancy mask is to use a good quality broad spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF15 and, ideally, SPF30 protection. Limiting your exposure to the harsh effects of the sun can significantly reduce the appearance of darkening skin spots.
For those women who have already developed dark skin patches, they can use a skin brightening product, such as Garnier's Dark Spot Corrector.
When that pregnancy glow turns into pregnancy shine, it can very quickly develop into pregnancy acne. The increase in hormones your body produces during pregnancy often results in your oil glands secreting more oil, which leads to breakouts.
There are two solutions for treating pregnancy-related acne. Firstly, women should stick to a regular self-care routine. This involves cleansing twice daily, toning and moisturising using mild products. Choose oil-free skincare and make-up products, such as Garnier's range of oil-free products.
The second solution to pregnancy acne issues is medication. According to the Mayo Clinic's Dr Lawrence E Gibson, the drug of choice for pregnant women wanting to treat acne is erythromycin or azelaic acid. These tend to come in gel or lotion form and are applied topically to the skin. Dr Gibson recommends pregnant women exercise caution when buying acne products, even over-the-counter products, as they can contain chemicals that can be harmful to an unborn baby.
Spider veins
Spider veins are those tiny little blood vessels that sit just under the skin and branch out like a web. They occur due to the increase in blood circulating around the body. Considering a pregnant woman has up to 50 per cent more blood circulating through her body, it is no surprise that this is a common skin problem during pregnancy. Spider veins most commonly appear on the face, neck, chest and arms.
The best solution for treating spider veins is to increase your intake of vitamin C. The body uses vitamin C to produce elastin and collagen, two important requirements for the body to be able to prevent or repair spider veins. Another solution is to maintain a healthy diet which is high in fibre. Regular exercise is another way to help prevent the occurrence of spider veins.
All pregnant women want to experience the joy of pregnancy when they feel fit, healthy, vibrant and alive. No matter what symptoms you may experience during your pregnancy, rest assured that there is a solution available to virtually any type of pregnancy-related skin problem.

I had casement windows. I attached the window boxes myself. It's hard to find something that will fit them otherwise. I'm sure they make some kind of bracket that might fit. But I just used that metal 'tape' with the holes in it. I wrapped the tape around the windowbox and then attached the tape to the bottom part of the windowsill with screws. I painted the metal to match the box. You need the box to be low so the window doesn't hit it when open. |

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Shannen, how did Brenda wind up being the drama teacher for West Beverly's Spring Awakening production?
SHANNEN DOHERTY: We talked back and forth about Brenda having been in London and now she's a really successful theater actor. The successful part I thought was nice. I'm glad she's not a burnout. The most important thing for me was that she evolved that she didn't come back as the same person. She has no hang-ups about the past. It was really important to portray her honestly we all evolve. We all grow up. We all change. Sometimes TV wants to keep people exactly the same, and that's not always true to real life.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What do you think of your new costars? Does it feel like you're watching yourselves from 18 years ago?
JENNIE GARTH: They are savvy. They know what they signed up for. They have all this knowledge about the business.
DOHERTY: They're far more prepared than we ever could have been. And they're amazing.
GARTH: It's risky what they're doing, but the payoff is so much bigger. The fans have expectations, but I keep telling them, ''Let us take care of the old fans. Just do your own show.''
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The other day you had your first scene together in 14 years. When did you last see each other before the scene and what was it like shooting together again?
DOHERTY: [Laughs] Oh, God. When was it? Ten years ago? I don't know. A long time. I can only speak for myself, but being with someone I knew made it easier for me my first day on set. At least for me there was an appreciation that we'd been through the first 90210 together and now we're going through it again, but in such a different way because we're both adults now. The only weird thing was while we were trying to catch up everyone was watching us. Every single eyeball was on us. I don't know what they were expecting. I was more interested in talking to her about Dancing With the Stars. I thought she did an amazing job.

Let me say that I have been trying to grow these plants for like 5 years. Every year I would pray they would come back after winter and usually would have to replace a few of them using the guarantee of the nursery. One year I got no blooms at all due to a late frost. Even when they come up, it seems they are not growing very vigorously and not getting very full or tall. My 3 healthiest ones are about 2.5-3 feet tall. I have 7 now in total. The 3 best ones flowered nicely but have not bloomed again since early summer? I even cut off the old blooms to promote new ones. The other 4 are just puny and sickly looking and look more like little flowers than shrubs? They flowered a little also, but are just so pathetic looking. i used a slow release fertilizer in may and again in early August (for acid loving plants). I also used aluminum sulfate to make them blue. anyway, how can I get these to grow big and lush and secondly how do I get them to flower repeatedly? When you buy these at the nursery they are lush and full of huge blooms. I had read not to expect those full blooms and lush plants for a few years after planting because it is a marketing ploy of the nurseries. This past Fall I cut the stems to about 6 inches and then buried them in mulch and leaves, and that helped to ensure all of them at least came up and didn't die. As a result I also got talled shrubs this year than last. It seems that if they do not get a jump growing in the spring before the summer hits they just stunt their growth. That is tough when we get these late frosts up until May (central ohio). |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some people have complained on the forum about ES in Zone 5 and have had to winter protect it; I bring that up for you to consider. When winter protecting, wait 2-3 weeks after your avge date of last frost before removing the winter protection. Also, review how the shrubs are doing in the middle of winter. If winter protecting with leaves, add more if settling has occurred by mid winter. ES is remontant. It will bloom, take a break (4-6 or more weeks) and bloom again if the weather cooperates. If the weather becomes hot, the shrub may put off blooming until the temperatures go down. Deadheading should trigger ES to bloom again; it just does not occur right a way though. Over here, most shrubs stop blooming when the temps are regularly above 100 so expect ES to take a break should things get hot in Ohio too. Go easy on fertilizers. Once in June is probably fine provided your soil has no mineral defficiencies. Some sun is also nice; about 2-3 hours would work well and help produce quite a few blooms. Too much shade will result in fewer blooms. Luis |
While overwatering can be a problem, I find that most beginner hydrangea growers fail to water enough and water regularly. So, yes, check near the rootball as Luis suggests, and if the soil is not moist, WATER! You'd be surprised how much better hydrangea perform with sufficient water. Kate |

GT182, I am not an ES expert and have only been growning ES for 2 years. Based on my experience, location and sun exposure are the primary reasons for the robustness in growth and blooming. For my ES (all orginals), The more shade (particularly afternoon shade) they get, the more flowers and robust growth they have. Here are my locations: Location 1: mostly shade with only ~ 1 hr morning sun. Two ES have been doing great and bloom started in mid june, and still going strong with average 6-8 huge flowers and several young blooms at any given time. These two were planted last fall (late August). no winter protection. no prune until late May to remove dead stems only. This year I only need to water them once a week during the hot/dry August. Location 2: Shade in the morning, but ~ 2 hr afternoon sun. Two ES planted in early May this year. needed to water almost every 3 days. have a few flowers and new blooms, but not as robust as in Location 1. Growth is lower too. Location 3: shade in the morning, ~ 3-4 hrs afternoon sun. Boy!. ES do not like this location. need to water every other day. Get only a few blooms early in the season, a few on going now. very slow growth. flowers fade quickly into the green/brown-red color typically seen in the fall. So in my experience, definely location and sun exposure are very important. In your Zone 5, you need to avoid afternoon sun as much as you can, Good luck with your ES, |

Today Show spends week highlighting Hispanics
Hispanics are 15% of the U.S. population and with the 2010 Census upon us, the government wants to find out how exact the current figure is. Planning for schools, roadways, and other big ticket projects, depends on accurate census data, not to mention the organization and growth of political districts. The Census Bureau believes the Hispanic population will triple by 2050.
Today's el diario is fully dedicated to linking you over to the Today Show, which is focusing on Hispanic Americans this week . Today show national correspondent and co-anchor, Natalie Morales, wrote a blog post about why the popular morning show is dedicating so much of the airwaves to Latinos. Morales, who is Brazilian and Puerto Rican, explains:
"We hope to explore these defining parts of culture, as well as the wide-ranging issues facing the Hispanic community, in next week's series called "We the People." Why cover these issues now? Because we recognize the profile of who we are as America is vastly changing."
If you click on over to the series page, "We the People," you'll see videos, stories, even recipes.
Here's the opening video segment on the census data and changing America.

I know that irises must be replanted at least 6 weeks before frost time, but how soon after blooming can irises be dug and replanted? TIA |

Most people say it's nice to wait a month to six weeks. You want the new plants to be nice sized so that they will take off well. I do it when I have the energy :D Renee |
We moved onto 5 acres in SW VA a little over two years ago. Only recently did I spot a "treasure trove" of irises. Only a few of them bloomed this spring and I have attached a pic of the bloom. I want to identify this bloom. I think that I have two other varieties based on the swords. I dug them up´┐Żthey were along the edge of the road, but on our property. I´┐Żm planning to put some out and dry others. Any recommendations? I have 235 or so. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. I know very little about irises, but am eager to learn. |
Sorry. I'm not able to upload the pic. |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 0:48
Hi Lily! Uploading pics here is a PITA. Do you know what kind of irises you have? Some really hate to dry out at all, and others will last for a while in a cool spot, but are better planted right away. The easiest thing to do if you have a picture is to provide a link to your photo in the box below the message. If that doesn't work, you have to upload the photo to a service like Photobucket, then save it, then hover your mouse over the photo and copy the html code. That is the only code of the four that will work here on Gardenweb. After you copy that html code, you can paste it into the message box here, and a bunch of code will appear. Preview your message, and the photo will be there. |
Thanks so much for your reply! You answered my main question, which is whether to put in ground today or dry out and wait til later to put in ground. We have a raised bed that my husband is constructing with lots of rich, organic stuff. It is 4 x 10. Would it work as a holding area for 235 irises? I know that it doesn't meet recommended spacing, but could it work until next spring? I'm hoping to get them out today. Please offer any advice or a link if that works better for you. Many thanks!!! |
I have a website under construction. I will try to get pics on there for id of one bloom. From the swords, I appear to have at least 3 different varieties. I think that the one that bloomed this year is a Siberian, but not sure. My immediate issue, however, is to get the rhizomes in the ground. Are the tops of the rhizomes actually supposed to be at surface level? How short can I cut the swords? |
Hello! I decided to let my rhizomes soak overnight and put in ground today. Any suggestions...please! I am putting them in a 4 x 10 raised bed, spacing about 5 inches on center. I know this is too close, but I am expecting to just overwinter them here and transplant in the spring. I will be checking my email for any advice. thanks. |
Hi Lily, I'm in northern VA, near DC. My soil is heavy clay so I plant bearded iris with the top of the rhizome exposed. I've had neighbors who buried the rhizome and it rotted. When I transplant iris, I cut the fans back to about the size of my open hand, that way they don't fall over and the garden looks tidy. Hope this helps. |
Hi, Cecily! I was relieved when I got your reply. I had harvested about 235 rhizomes and found advice on the web--one said to cut to 3-4 inches; the other said 6-9 inches. I split the diff and cut to about 6. Then I read that you should leave as long as possible. Yikes!!! I was afraid I had ruined the whole batch through my "diligence". We are having a major storm here so I probably won't get to continue until tomorrow. I'm about 20% done. What do you think about my using the 4x10 as a holding area until next spring? I don't have space prepared for them for a permanent location. Thanks again for your helpful reply. And, yes. It helps! |

Lily, the Siberians, Japanese, and Spurias cannot be allowed to dry out at all. I'm not sure, so check on this, but I think they need to have the rhizomes buried. I believe Siberians and Japanese irises like richer soil, but I cannot grow them here so I really don't know much about them or how much foliage to trim. Bearded irises (tall bearded, standard dwarf bearded, arilbreds, etc.) should NOT be soaked in water because it causes them to rot. If you are soaking bearded irises pull them out of the water now and let them dry off in a cool shady spot. They should be planted with the rhizome tops at the surface of the soil, because they need good drainage. They do not like rich soil and should not have high-nitrogen fertilizer applied to them. For tall bearded irises you should leave as much healthy foliage as you can when you transplant them, but most people cut off the top of the foliage because it causes them to flop over and come out of the ground. You're fine with 6 inches. Three inches is awfully close to the rhizome, and I would not recommend it. Instructions are at the top of this forum under FAQs, if you need more info. Your holding area is a good idea. It will work just fine. Good luck, that's a big project! Renee |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gardenweb Iris Forum FAQs
I opened your email last night. I immediately went out and took the remaining irises out of the soak. We had a huge rain and windstorm starting about 3PM. The 20% or so that I had already got in the ground are so disturbed that I'm going to remove them and start over. I very much appreciate your additional information. I will be absolutely crushed if I lose these wonderful plants! I'll get them all in today and hope that they stay put. It was quite a driving rain/wind so I don't think I'll have a problem this time. The soil is quite light with lots of organic. I don't know if it is naturally high in nitrogen, but I'll be sure not to use a high nitro fertilizer. Thanks. It is a big project, but I am glad that it is finally in process. I spotted the irises in the spring and have been waiting for the appropriate time. I didn't want to wait any longer because they are on the edge of the road, and they get run over by road work. Thanks for the information and for your encouragement! |
Finally got my iris pic uploaded to my in-progress site. I'd like anyone's opinions on what type of iris this is. There was a log cabin on this property; then a farmhouse dating back to the 1930's. I suspect the irises have been in place and neglected for many, many years. this was the only bloom that I got, but I have three different types of swords. I guess I won't know until the others bloom. (:-)))) |

I think that may be either a Louisiana iris or a species iris. This sort of iris does not like to be dried out. The foliage of bearded irises is pretty distinctive. It is usually a blue-green, the leaves are about 18-24" tall, they are wide with no ridges, and the rhizome is not striped yellow and black but is a plain brown. See the link below. Louisiana iris foliage is tall, green to yellow-green, and the rhizome is long and looks sort of striped. See this site: http://zydecoirises.com/Culture/Propagation.htm Link to tall bearded iris rhizome photo below. Someone with more knowledge may chime in. |

One of my 3yr old Protea repens is blooming. See a couple photos on my Blog.
Anyone else have any Protea blooming in the Northern Hemisphere now?... Ross |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lots of Protea blooming now at our California latitudes, I have Protea 'Pink Ice' in full bloom for a month or so already, and I have seen several other species such as the King Protea in bloom at nurseries, as well as various Leucadendrons and Leucospermums in bloom already. In southern California, the Leucospermums would already be blooming for a month or more. Plus, in upland more temperate areas of Hawaii, the season is even earlier than here in California, and they furnish the cut flower Protea market nearly year round. |

HIGH POINT, N.C.–The Made in America Pavilion is returning for the upcoming Spring 2013 High Point Market running April 20-25, and will feature 44 new exhibitors, including a 7,000 square-foot presentation of companies from the Authentic Home Furnishings Association. The Made in America Pavilion showcases a total of 66 exhibitors in 40,000 square feet.
"We are thrilled with the success we have seen in the Made in America Pavilion, which has continued to grow as consumer demand for domestically produced products has grown," said Julie Messner, vice president of leasing for International Market Centers, which operates the Suites at Market Square.
The Made in America Pavilion, once again located on the first (top) floor of the Suites at Market Square, showcases a diverse mix of domestically produced product, including case goods, upholstery, rugs, wall art, decorative accessories, and more.
"The diversity of product styles is what is really amazing," said Messner. "Made in America no longer means one distinct style. There are options for every style and region of the world."
New to the Pavilion this market is a 7,000 square-foot display of ready-to-finish goods organized by the Authentic Home Furnishings Association. The AHFA will hold an Open House Reception on Tuesday, April 23, 5-8:30 p.m.

Hey there, Cheryl, I was wondering if I was the only one here! I can bring you some Turk's cap, Cashmere Bouquet, & pigeonberry if you like; I can use a couple of flower pots for the things I was supposed to have had in clay pots all these years. |
I should be back this year, just trying to see what I have left after a move in July. I sure wish you could edit the post on here so I could add things to the list as I collect them. Mike |

Not sure what pidgeon berry is, I'll have to google it. Also I'm going to need some roses, if you have any rooted cuttings that would be fine. I have had NO luck (as in zero, zilch, zip, nada) rooting cuttings. I'll be sure to bring some good sized painted clay pots, I won't have very many this time though. Mike I'm really glad you're going to be able to join us again. Cheryl |
Cheryl, No luck with the roses? I thought you were the rose queen. I will get with you on my hush hush way of rooting the little thorney beast so get some getting ready and I will get the other stuff to you in a day or so. Thanks for the welcome back. |

Cheryl, I know I have white Lady Banks, Martha Gonzales, & Betty Prior, & I'll look to see what else is out there that hasn't lost its label! |
OK, well, maybe I'm just the queen of store-bought, and catalog-purchased, already rooted and growing roses. My mother and grandmother could both root roses, but for some reason I have had no luck with them. I can root lots of other things. And I tried the rock-wool-in-the-dark-with-the-water-spritzer-and-gel-rooting-medium way and got a lot of dead sticks. It was so depressing I cried myself to sleep for a week, but that didn't help so I switched to a daily dose of chocolate and 10 mg of Lexapro and that works much better. hehe |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Sat, Oct 2, 10 at 14:28
Cheryl, I'm intrigued: please give detailed instructions on how to root roses with chocolate & Lexapro. snork! found a Mrs B R Cant. |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Sun, Oct 3, 10 at 17:14
They're small due to the extremely cold winter & the extremely hot & dry summer, but they did root: White Lady Banks |
Well, those sound lovely, I'd like to have them all. I'll bring you some painted pots, I might have a plant stand or something else you need. I also go though digging forks like a kid goes through tennis shoes. I'm really hard on gloves too, especially the right ones. I have a pile of gently used left gloves. Guess I ought to bring them in case we have a southpaw who could use them. Need any society garlic? Do you like Glass garden totems? I have a few that I recently made. And here's how that lexapro and chocolate works: you take the lexapro and it makes you happy, then you eat the chocolate and you don't care if the roses don't root. You just take more lexapro and eat more chocolate. And buy bigger pants. |

Hey guys, we did a lot of garden clean up this year and are starting over. Since we are planning to move in the next year or so, we are wanting to cut down on supplies and plants. I have a lot of pots and compost that I need to give away or trade to people who could really use it. Haves - This weekend I am going through everything and should have a better list next week... Nursery Pots of various sizes all less than 5 gallons. Flats with 4 inch pots. Lots of 4 inch pots. Trellis Scraps of shades and sizes. Homemade compost almost ready to use. needs to site in the compost pile and cook for a few more months to sterilize any seeds that may have gotten into the compost. about 40 lbs I think. Wants |

Element, please do not bring trellis scraps or other trash. |
- Posted by element321 8 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 5, 10 at 23:21
Sylvia, I wasn't planning on it unless someone wants some. Some of them are actually pretty large and can be used in a Container garden. Only reason I mentioned it on my list is because, someone took some from my scrap pile last month. As for trash, I wouldn't dream of bringing any... |

Is the Autumn Swap already over? If not, when and where? I never seem to find the link to the calander. Thanks! |
It's coming up on 30 October, just 3 weeks away. Time to starte getting ready. Element, how large are the trellis pieces? I have some small turks caps, and might be interested in some bits of trellis if they're still sound. Cheryl |
- Posted by element321 8 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 7, 10 at 16:50
Cheryl (seamommy) they are all sizes, they range from almost a full sheet down to two feet wide by four feet wide. If you can give an average size you want, I will go out this weekend pull them out and see if I have something close to what you want. If I have something you want, then trading for the turkscap(s) will be great... |

Is this an open event? If so, where and what time? I'm busy that morning, but free later on. I have lots of Century Plant babies. My mama century plant is very prolific. I just bought a new house and can't identify a lot of the plants here, but might be interested in giving some of them away. I also have a groundcover at the old house that I'd provide to anyone interested, but not sure what it is. I really like variegated plants as long as they don't contain yellow, different varieties of Sage shrubs, hostas, hydrangea, and hardy hibiscus. My most recent favorite is pyracantha. |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Sun, Oct 10, 10 at 15:40
Welcome, armbarangel! The FW Swap is something of an institution here; There are several other threads on this page that spell out details such as location & directions, suggestions & hints, etc. I'd love to have some century plants, will be happy to bring you anything on my list that you'd like. |
I also have some hybiscus, Red Texas Star and another that I think is called Sunset. Texas Star is hardy and the Sunset re-seeds itself every year. They both do equally well in sun or shade. Armbarangel, if you bring some cuttings or good clear photos of the plants you can't identify we might be able to help you figure out what they are. Cheryl |

- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Wed, Oct 13, 10 at 13:04
Darlene, is St John's Wort hard to grow? I tried it once & failed, but I do love that plant & would like to have some if I can grow it. Please see what I can bring you! |
- Posted by dcarpenter z7 DFW/TX (My Page) on Wed, Oct 13, 10 at 17:16
Hi Sylvia ~ Actually, I dug up most of my St. John's Wort and took it to one of the swaps about two years ago. I was hoping to have gotten rid of all of it, but it seems that didn't happen. I will be happy to bring you some. I'll dig it this weekend, so it may look a little puny on the 30th, but it should spring back to life. I would like some of your cashmere bouquet if you have extra. If not, any of your mints would be fine. Thanks. Darlene |
I can bring any of the following: Asarina 'Bridal Bouquet' I'm looking for: Daylilies NAMED only - 5" or larger (not solid yellows) |

Welcome, running gardener! What kind of things are you looking for? If you don't see anything on my list above that you like, I can bring blue mist flower, which takes full sun & is a genuine butterfly magnet. |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Sat, Oct 16, 10 at 16:36
If you have enough oakleaf hydrangea, I'd like a couple of small ones, or cuttings, or whatever. When my co-worker Jane & I went on a garden tour last spring, we both were smitten with oakleaf hydrangea. |

Sylvia, If you have the mauvy pink 4 o'clocks, I'd like some of those. I have a blue mist plant. I'm looking for flowers and/or shrubs that can tolerate the miserable summer we just experienced. What is the location and time for the event on 10/30? I'm running a 5K in the Trinity Park area and hope to be leave there by 10:00 am. |

Do I have 4 o'clocks, snicker. I am the *Queen* of mauvy pink 4 o'clocks! We'll be at the pavilion in front of the zoo; Go south on University to the entrance to the zoo, seems like it's Colonial, but there's a post on here somewhere with exact directions. Turn east (left) & follow the trail around a few curves. We're at the back of the parking lot in front of the ball fields on the right. Creative artist Cheryl always posts her very nice Plant Swap sign where you need to turn in to the parking lot. |

Dang it! I just found out yesterday that my son's pee wee flag football team made it to the playoffs. Not sure how that happened, being they only won 2 games! So, I'm going to have to back out of the swap. That's the same reason I didn't make it last year. I was so sure his last game was the 23rd! He's going to be disappointed too. Sylvia, I have already dug the St. John's Wort. Do you live anywhere near me? I live in the Mesquite/Pleasant Grove area? If so, would you be up for an in-person trade? If not, I would be happy to mail some St. John's Wort to you. If his first playoff game is in the afternoon, I might be able to make it early morning. I'll just have to wait and see the schedule. I'm so disappointed. Darlene |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Tue, Oct 19, 10 at 17:14
Dang indeed, Darlene, I'm sorry you can't be in 2 places at once! I'm probably about 25 miles from you, but I'll likely be in the Bristol area within about a week, so we can make the trade then. Just let me know. You can email me at email@example.com if you wish. |
Revised List: Light Blue Passion Vine Distinctive and Memorable Garden Junque: Wants: Remember, Brenda brings the refreshments in exchange for plants, so bring her something nice! I'll put out the signs at about 0900 for anyone who hasn't attended in the past. But if you want to get the best parking spot you gotta get there before ME!!! MWaahahahahah Cheryl |
Ruthz, I am interested in the luna moth ginger. Please look over my list and if there is anything you like for a trade let me know. Cheryl |
Not much on the list since I moved in July and things got a little crazy and mixed up moving plants into pots. It sure is hard to pack a yard in the middle of summer and move to a new place with no beds prepared. Seeds I have to trade: Plants I have to trade: Plants I am looking for: |
I have: 35 qt size Red Yucca plants (4th yr. from seed), Crinum (fall bloom), wood fern, med. ht. sedum, 1 gal starter Oakleaf hydrangea, Mexican Stonecrop sedum. I want: Bamboo Muhly grass, Bamboo Muhly grass, Bamboo Muhly grass; society garlic, John Fanick phlox. Did I mention Bamboo Muhly Grass?? Dorothy B. |

Revised list: Haves: 3 small Taros (elephant ears) Can be planted in the water or in a moist flower bed. Adora Brug cuttings - very small about 1 ft cuttings. I could pot them this weekend if you want, they might even be rooted by then. Trellis Pieces - I will only bring these if someone wants one. These range from almost a full sheet to ones that are 2 or 3 ft wide and about 4 ft tall. The smaller ones make great mini trellis' for container and new plant supports. about 40lbs of homemade compost. Its nice and black. A lot of seeds Wants: |
- Posted by element321 8 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 20, 10 at 20:14
Mike, I might be able to get you some Confederate rose cuttings for you. Call me or send me an email so we can talk more about it. |
Element, looks like I won't need those trellis after all, DH went out and bought new ones for me yesterday, sorry. I do have some hardy hibiscus, but they are yellow and orange, called Sunset. I'm bringing a few of them. Dorothy, I have a grunch of society garlic for you. I am looking for the plastic plant markers that come with plants that you buy from stores like Lowes, HD, Walmart, etc. I need the ones that have the pictures of the plants on them. Any size is OK, up to about 3". I'm doing an art project and could use any that you care to part with. If they are too old and brittle to cut with sissors I can't use them, but if they are only a year or two old, they will be fine. I will have a lot of miscellaneous small plants, pots and stuff to trade for them. Mike B, I wasn't going to bring the orange daylilies, but I will dig them if you want that color. How many would you want? I only have about 4 gozillion...and one shovel. Sylvia, I will have some special painted clay pots for you in trade for those roses. Is there anything in particular that you are looking for? Color themes are optional, otherwise I just paint what strikes my fancy at the time that I put the pot on the table. Cheryl |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 16:45
Cheryl, no color scheme in mind, but I do like greens & aquas & bright colors. Mike, I can bring pigeonberry & Turk's cap, both shade-ish plants. I like daffodils & iris, if you have enough. |
- Posted by barefoot_in_texas Texas Z8 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 17:58
Mike - could I please, please, pretty please get some Red Hot Poker from you? It has been on my wish list for a lonnnnng time. |
Bare Foot- I will bring you some poker. Sylvia, I will bring you iris and dafs, got lots of both. I have turks cap but would be interested in pigeonberry. Cheryl, orange is great as I love day lilies, I know you have explained a gozillion before but I don't have that much room so maybe 1/2 a gozillion. I have some of plant markers I will bring you. |
Daylilies it is, Mike. Sylvia, I love aqua too. I brought in a big pot last night and was looking at it and thought, this one would look good in aqua! Element, I would love an Adora brug cutting. I have a great houseplant that does very well in low light. |

The snake met a fatal accident so maybe next Spring they'll be back. I have seeds of Yellow an Pink 4 O'clocks,Cherry Cleome,Purple,pink White Larkspurs. for anyone who wants them. Just send me a address and what you would like. Have fun! |
Brenda, I forgot that you wanted frogs. I have tadpoles and have a lot of little frogs too. I'll try to catch some frogs if I can, but I know I can catch the tadpoles so I'll bring you some if you would like them. Cheryl |

Okay! I just got word last night that the Mesquite Pee Wee Football League made a mistake! We didn't make it to the playoffs after all. I get to come to the swap!! Yeah!! Okay, here's my wish list: Element: I'm interested in one of your adora brugs and some of your trellis pieces for pots. See my list above and see if anything interests you. Mike: I'm interested in your banana tree. Please see my list above and see if I can bring you anything from it. RunningGardener: I'm interested in your hummingbird shrub, eve's neckalce, and cowpen daisies. What are you looking for? Please also see my list above. Ruthz: I'm interested in your blue potato vine. Can I bring you something from my list? Thanks! Darlene |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Fri, Oct 22, 10 at 16:49
Yay, Darlene! I'll bring you a Cashmere Bouquet for St John's Wort! |

just a reminder... Please read the other threads about rules & etiquette. We want everyone to have a good time, & we do *not* want anyone to be taken advantage of. If your trading partner does not bring you what you thought you were getting or does not bring you anything at all (we've had trouble in the past with claims of total gadren failure by the same person for several swaps in a row), you do *not* have to hand over your nice plants. You can say sorry, no thanks. If the person wanted to be fair, he/she would let you know in advance & offer you an alternative, such as brownies or flower pots or tools. |
The key word here is brownies - I'm pretty sure Sylvia will trade you her car for a pan of them, and maybe some good coffee to go with it. And come to think of it, I'm quite fond of brownies myself. I'm really looking forward to this swap. I will actually have more painted pots than I was expecting to have. Should have at least one for everyone in attendance. I will also be bringing more plants than I thought I would have. Mike, I thinned my daylilies yesterday and filled a half-bushel basket for you. You may not want that many so I'll bring some grocery sacks so you can pick out the ones you want. I actually only thinned one 12' flower bed but they were very thick. You're gonna want to plant them about 1' apart. Need to start thinking about a door prize too. Remember you have to bring one if you wanna get one. I've noticed that the quality of prizes has gotten better each year. First couple years there were some dusty old macrame yarn plant hangers and embroidered owl pictures. Last year there were some really nice goody bags with balms, soaps, gloves, garden totes and small garden hand tools. Cheryl |

Chery - I would love to have tadpoles. ruthz - if you have enough japanese morning glory seeds, I would like to have some in exchange for lunch.

Sylvia - Ruben wants some choclate mint. Silly man loves that stuff. |
- Posted by dcarpenter z7 DFW/TX (My Page) on Tue, Oct 26, 10 at 17:57
Element, the brug cuttings sound good to me. I will also bring you the rock rose. Not sure about the green runner elephant ears. I just know they get huge and run like crazy! I need some trellis pieces for vines that I have growing in pots, so whatever size you think would be okay. I'm not picky. Mike, green runner elephant ears and salvia volcano it is! Thanks. Seamommy, I'll dig the ginger tonight and see how it goes. It's so pretty. Thanks. I also have the following to add to my list: variegated morning glories |
Mike, I would like to try the red hot poker (that sounds kinda naughty). I would also like some day lilies. How many brownies can you eat?? Everyone else, I'm still good for brownies and Lavender Iris'. I also have two tiny red buds. When I say tiny I mean they are about 3 inches tall. |
I have a couple of 6' Texas native redbud trees that DH wants to move or cut down. Not sure if we could dig them out but if we can I will bring them. Cheryl |
- Posted by running_gardener (My Page) on Wed, Oct 27, 10 at 9:57
dcarpenter, I didn't get the cowpen daisies transplanted before they got too big. I do have lots of cowpen daisy seeds. I will bring the hummingbird shrub and Eve's necklace for you. The Eve's necklace is 2 years old and is still very small. At this moment, I have no specific wants other than something that doesn't need a lot of TLC and can handle the heat. I also have some creeping phlox (blue), a native phlox that blooms in the spring - common name bouncing Betty and a guara. If anyone is interested I have some compass plant and liatrus seeds along with a few West Texas yellowbell seeds. If I can summon the strength, I can separate a couple of forsythia volunteers from the mother shrub if anyone wants them. |
- Posted by dcarpenter z7 DFW/TX (My Page) on Wed, Oct 27, 10 at 12:51
Running Gardner: Cowpen daisy seeds will be just fine. Everything on my list doesn't require a lot of TLC and can handle the heat. Just pick whatever you like. I think I would also like to try some of your compass plant seeds. Thanks! |

Quoted from Jenny I found enoki mushrooms in Woolies yesterday. That was a good start for me. Possibly maitake are seasonal. Please let me know if you see any, anywhere, as most of my mushrooms are only neutral with the exception of maitake and enoki, and I really want to use them.
Quoted from C_Sharp Brazilian (Surinam) cherries are not related to regular cherries.They are in the Myrtle family (along with cloves, guava, feijoa, allspice, and eucalyptus).Cherries are in the Rose family (along with plums, peaches, almonds, and apricots).Given this I think you have to consider them as neutral (unrated) and not a black dot.
Quoted from Jumari Heres something that might be worth looking at team.Typebase Grouper - SERRANIDAE SPP.First of all I just found out that SPP is an abreviation for species (plural form)When I looked for Serranidae in the CSIRO spreadsheet I found all these matches of fish in the same family. We need to confirm with NAP whether they can be considered a type of Grouper, considering that the scientific name for Grouper on the Typebase is a generic one.Aus / NZ name Scientific Name....
Quoted Text The authors use "spp." as a short way of saying that something applies to many species within a genus, but do not wish to say that it applies to all species within that genus. If scientists mean that something applies to all species within a genus, they use the genus name without the specific epithet.
Quoted Text Serranidae is a large family of fishes, belonging to the order Perciformes. The family contains about 450 species of serranids in 64 genera, including the sea basses and the groupers (subfamily Epinephelinae). From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serranidae
Quoted Text Subfamilies Anthiinae, Epinephelinae (tribes Epinephelini, Niphonini, Liopropomatini, Diploprioni, Grammistini) and Serraninae (Ref. 39231)from http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/FamilySummary.cfm?id=289
Quoted from Symbi Aren't I silly, all that research yesterday and I was just confirming everything Jumari researched, sorry mate. Here's a quick easy, and not so long one. Our rockmelon = Typebase Cantaloupe
Quoted from C_Sharp Actually what you call a rockmelon is what I think in typebase and SWAMI terminology is called a "Musk Melon". Rock Melon/Musk Melon is Cucumis melo reticulatus, This melon is called a cantaloupe in the US. Type base entry is: http://www.dadamo.com/typebase4/depictor5.pl?255What is called cantaloupe in SWAMI and Typebase is a type of melon that is rare in the US but available in Europe. It is a Cucumis melo cantalupensis. Type base entry is: http://www.dadamo.com/typebase4/depictor5.pl?91They may seem to be similar but for me one is superfood and the other is an avoid.
Quoted from Squirrel Wonderful work folks!May I just add that grouper/groper is also known as garupa in Asia?
Quoted from Jumari ...Botton line is that if the scientific name on the typebase for Grouper is SERRANIDAE SPP and Serranidae SPP is a name used for a family, which includes all the fish I listed previously. Does this mean that all those fish on the list can be considered Groupers? Serranidaes are also considered as a variety of Rock Cods. See the CSIRO listing.
Quoted from Jumari ...One thing is for sure, if it hasn't been done yet. We should include Groper spelt without a "u" to the UK list, if it isn't already there.
Quoted from Cristina Hi Squirrel and thanks for droping in. We have a wonderful team working here and now includes you too. Welcome and thanks for your contribution!!We will include that on the table once we finalize the groping
Quoted from Cristina Closure on the Melons:Typebase Musk Melons = AU/NZ Honeydew and RockmelonsTypebase Cantaloupe Melons = AU/NZ Cantaloupe Melons
Quoted from Jenny , Maybe I should go back and study the last few entries, but which of the above would you say are commonly sold in Australia, as I have always used rockmelon/cantaloupe as interchangeable semantics based on geography rather than type?
Quoted from Cristina On the subject of fish, while groping around, I came across this very useful website particularly regarding ways to cook your fish to retain the most nutrients.Healthy reading:http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Fish back to groping in the dark ...
Quoted Text Ciguatera is a form of food poisoning. It is caused by eating those warm ocean water finfish that carry ciguatera poison..... What type of finfish cause poisoning.There are no specific rules that can be followed to detect ciguatera carrying fish. Fish that live in warm ocean waters are potential carriers of ciguatera toxin. Fish like chinaman, red bass and paddle tail have, in the past, been involved in a large number of ciguatera poisonings and seafood marketers sell little of them. Today problems are encountered with coral trout, spanish mackeral, red emperor, reef cods and others like wrasse, trevally and kingfish.http://www.vmrgladstone.org.au/ciguatera.html
Quoted Text Mackerel caught around mid October in Australia are a classic cause of the condition, as are some Great Barrier Reef and semi-pelagic saltwater fish including red bass, chinamanfish (chinaman cod), paddle tail, snapper, spanish mackerel, moray eels, wrasse, trigger fish, and queenfish. Even coral trout has been incriminated as an occasional carrier. http://www.fishingcairns.com.au/page8-2.html

Final Thoughts
Over the past few months it's clear that the driver updates from NVIDIA have really kicked up the performance of the GTX 260 with it managing to beat out the HD 4870 nearly every time.
With that said, the added speed on offer from BFG Tech helps kick up the performance numbers a little bit more. From a performance point of view there isn't a whole lot to complain about.
Like everything, though, the card isn't perfect. The bundle is lacking a game which is going to be disappointing for some people. The card also carries one of the higher price tags on the market. With that said, 24 / 7 technical support for particular countries, a lifetime warranty that carries very few conditions and a good overclock do make the card good value.
While some people may find themselves buying the cheapest card on the market, overclocking it themselves and then selling it in 12 months time, people who can't be bothered overclocking and want to keep their card for an extended period of time will find the BFG Tech cards a great option.
