The zucchini plants have been pulled but now I see squash bugs on the melon vines!!! Have they just gone from one thing to another & not plant specific? -M |
Follow-Up Postings:
Melons are important members of the same botanical family as your zucchini...Cucurbitaceae. The squash bugs ARE feeding on types of squash....called melons. Makes no difference to them....it's the same family. |

so what .... how big is the population .. and how much season do you have left .. a few bugs are not going to generate a killing population.. before mother nature takes down the plant.. and if so.. what need be done???? i dont know NM ... so i am just throwing out a variable.. w/o an answer ... maybe rhiz will now.. if you give us the facts .... ken |
Thank you! I guess I have been lucky in that the squash bugs just kept to the squash- & not the melons- in previous years! The melons are about finished so will not bother with the squash bugs this Fall. I have had some success with planting the zucchini seeds late-. June 1- & not having any bugs (supposedly by June the eggs have been laid & bugs gone to older plants?!) but it hasn't always worked! Bugs, bugs,,,(!!) : been years though since I have seen a tomato horn worm ... even now that we no longer have chickens that loved them! |
Control of these pests now is as important as control in the spring since the adult Squash bugs do overwinter in the garden or nearby. Some will tell you to clear out all plant debris from the garden which will then eliminate hiding places for these pests, but that also eliminates places for any beneficials to over winter. |
Here is a link that might be useful: About Squash Bugs
kimmsr: I see that 'stink bugs' can resemble squash bugs? Am sure I have squash bugs but they too smell awful when criushed! Guess I shouldn't be layering leaves in the Fall on the garden unless I can mulch them in well? |
any chance of pictures? |
FYI.......lots of insects stink to high heaven when killed or even touched. |
jean001: The squash bugs may now be gone as the temps. have fallen & I have pulled up most of the melons & all of the squash plants already; if I do find some of them, I will try & get a photo to send on this site! |

After Kitty Norville revealed her secret identity as a werewolf on her popular radio show, Kitty and the Midnight Hour, life hasnt been the same. Part of the cost of going public was being subpoenaed to testify before a Senate Hearing Committee in Washington DC where (Kitty Goes to Washington) events rapidly deteriorated into a major showdown. Kitty decides to take some quiet time in a remote Colorado cabin where she can sit and work undisturbed on her book. Between dealing with a massive case of writers block and finding ample evidence that someone is attempting to curse her, Kitty begins having second thoughts about hiding in the back woods. Her self-doubts are acerbated by the discovery of a radio show rival moving in on her turf.
When werewolf hunter Cormac Bennett shows up with mutual friend and lawyer Ben OFarrell in his arms Kitty couldnt be more surprised or challenged. Recently attacked by a werewolf, Ben wants nothing more then to die and holds Cormac responsible for not making good on an old promise. Its up to Kitty to ease Ben through his first full moon and find a reason to continue living while tracking down whoever is behind the escalating carnage showing up at her front door. What Kitty and a powerful medicine man uncover is far worse then anything they could have envisioned, malevolent magic has drawn an unspeakable evil to the small town. Only by banding together with the same townspeople who cursed her, can they hope to defeat the evil force and no one could foresee the haunting cost.With holidays like this, it might be safer to stay home! The further character development of Cormac and Ben, a mix of skinchanger and werewolf mythologies along with small town knee-jerk reactions to the unusual, Kittys latest adventure is the best yet. Doses of humor lighten up the dark tone and Kittys witty observations keep the story rolling forward at a brisk clip making for a thoroughly enjoyable escapist read.

Bethesda 2001: A Revised System for Reporting Pap Test Results Aims to Improve Cervical Cancer Screening
- Posted: April 23, 2002
A revised system for reporting the results of Pap tests, published in the April 24, 2002, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)*, will change the way laboratories communicate with physicians about the 50 million cervical cancer screening tests performed each year in the United States. Known as the 2001 Bethesda System, the reporting system conveys laboratory findings that help physicians and their patients decide what to do about the abnormalities found on Pap tests.
The 2001 Bethesda System does not itself include guidelines for managing these abnormalities. However, it serves as the basis for new management guidelines that appear in a companion article in JAMA. The guidelines were developed under the sponsorship of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) in tandem with the 2001 Bethesda System.
Publication of the two papers is considered a milestone in efforts to improve cervical cancer screening. "Together, Bethesda 2001 and the ASCCP guidelines should provide more uniform, evidence-based care of women with cervical abnormalities," said Diane Solomon, M.D., who has coordinated development of The Bethesda System at the National Cancer Institute.
Bethesda 2001 updates the earlier Bethesda System, first published in 1989 and revised in 1991. The 2001 version reflects the most current knowledge about the biology of Pap test abnormalities and addresses new screening technologies that appeared in the past decade. Key changes include:
Sample adequacy : The Bethesda System has always required laboratories to evaluate the adequacy of cervical cell samples based on a standard set of criteria. The 2001 Bethesda System incorporates criteria that are specific to the new thin-layer, or liquid-based, cell collection method now used by many doctors.
New term (ASC-H) to denote atypical cells at higher-risk of association with precancer : The older Bethesda System grouped all cells considered equivocal -- atypical but not clearly precancerous -- into one category known as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or ASCUS. Bethesda 2001 adds a new category for atypical cells at higher risk of association with precancer: "atypical squamous cells - cannot exclude a high-grade lesion" or "ASC-H." By highlighting such cases, the new system should help physicians detect and treat precancerous lesions more rapidly. In addition, the term "atypical squamous cells favor reactive" has been eliminated in order to focus attention on women at higher risk of having an abnormality.
Benign Cellular Changes identified as "negative" : The previous version of Bethesda included a category of "benign cellular changes" to communicate findings due to a variety of factors (e.g. inflammation). However, this approach caused confusion at times for clinicians who questioned whether this term indicated negative results or the need for follow-up. Now such benign changes are more clearly identified as "negative."
In other changes, Bethesda 2001 recommends that laboratories report the use of computerized scanning of Pap test slides and the results of molecular testing (such as tests for the human papillomavirus).
The 2001 Bethesda System is the product of a workshop, sponsored by NCI and numerous professional societies, which took place April 30 - May 2, 2001, in Bethesda, Md. The workshop included more than 400 participants. Even broader participation in the revision process was made possible through a dedicated Web site http://bethesda2001.cancer.gov, where more than 1,000 individual comments were received on the draft recommendations.
More than 90 percent of laboratories in the United States use The Bethesda System, as do laboratories in many other countries. To date, more than 20 national and international societies have endorsed Bethesda 2001.
* Solomon D, et al, The 2001 Bethesda System: Terminology for Reporting Results of Cervical Cytology, Journal of the American Medical Association, April 24, 2002, Vol. 287, No. 16, 2114-2119.
NOTE: The ASCCP management guidelines will be presented at a press conference sponsored by the Society. Call ASCCP/Wallapix Media Relations at (914) 238-7197 for more information or go to the ASCCP Web site at http://www.asccp.org.

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings

From wharves to hydroelectric dams to mass-transit systems, heavy infrastructure construction has held its own during the economic downturn and should see even stronger growth through 2017, according to a new market forecast.
The $44.1 billion heavy infrastructure sector has fared better than most of the construction industry since 2007, squeezing out a 0.5% annual growth rate fueled by public investment in water, sewer, transportation, conservation and development services, according to Heavy Infrastructure Construction in the U.S.: Market Research Report, just published by market analyst IBISWorld, of Los Angeles.
The industry currently employs more than 179,000 people in more than 16,000 businesses and experienced "solid growth overall" in the last five years, despite declining revenues in 2009 and 2010, the report says.
More Growth, Tighter Profits
Although profit margins are likely to remain tight, the industry has already seen an uptick in demand this year, and growth is expected to pick up in the next five years.
According to IBISWorld industry analyst Kathleen Ripley, about 32.5% of annual revenue comes from work on transport infrastructure projects such as marine transport, mass transit, and railroad and highway infrastructure.
Other important areas include conservation and development projects, such as land reclamation and soil detoxification; marine infrastructure construction; and recreational infrastructure.
"Looking forward, continued improvements in the U.S. economy, private-sector development, and state and local governments' infrastructure funding will boost industry performance," Ripley says.
Room to Grow
The industry is fragmented, comprising many small-scale contractors that service narrow regional or niche construction markets. The largest industry firms include some of America's leading construction companies—Bechtel Group, Kiewit Corp., URS Corp., AECOM Technology Corp. and the Walsh Group—but none of them accounts for a significant share of industry revenue.
That means there is room for market newcomers, according to IBISWorld. Although large-scale contractors generally transcend several regional markets, new competitors can generally compete effectively on smaller-scale, local contracts, especially maintenance and repair work on municipal water storage facilities and sewerage treatment plants, the report says.
The report covers a wide range of infrastructure projects, including athletic fields, dams, dikes, docks, drainage projects, golf courses, harbors, parks, reservoirs, canals, hydroelectric plants, subways and other mass transit projects. Establishments include heavy construction general contractors, design builders, engineer-constructors and joint-venture contractors.

Humpback Whale photos
, pictures and photography
Humpback Whales - Megaptera novaeangliae
The magnificent Humpback whale is a favorite animal for
whale watching
tours and is renowned for its impressive leaping displays and for the mysterious 'singing' of solitary males. Humpbacks can grow to over 45 feet in length and weigh over 30 tons. The robust body is blue-black in color, with pale or white undersides. The flippers may also be white and are the largest appendage of any animal; reaching up to 15 feet in length. On the underside of the mouth are 12 to 36 throat grooves, which can expand when filtering water during feeding.
Humpback whales
have characteristically knobbly heads, covered in many raised lumps ('tubercles') and barnacles.
There are two blowholes on the back and the spout of water can appear very bushy. The spreading tail flukes have a distinct indentation in the middle; as the whale undertakes a deep dive it usually arches its back (hence the common name) so that the tail flukes are raised above the water and clearly visible. The pattern on the underside of the flukes is unique and can be used to photo-identify and track individuals. Visit the

The congregation of pilled sweaters gathers. The least of them my brethren, their terrible feet unpeel from comfortable shoes. They come to be healed by my fatherthrough my father who kneels before them with a bowl a monk threw on a potter's wheel near the rocks of the Dry Salvages. Among the fusty velvet pews, timelessness collides with time incarnate in human weakness, raw skin, yellow corns. Here, among us, there are so few strong among us,so many reeking needs, such fervent despair,I long to bare my baby teeth, to lunge at the wretched. God save us from those who wish to be saved in this suburban church,its reenactment intended to puncture timewhile the hollow chime of tennis balls from the next door courts rings with the sacrilege of a Sunday plough.

Music sharing startups are popping up all over the place. A lot of them would qualify as "a dime a dozen" but that's not the case with Florida based Muzime. Joel Fenelon tells the FloridaTechnologyJournal that while he was in college his studies pivoted from business to music. After that he studied and became a conductor, eventually leading to an offer to conduct overseas.
While building up his musical repertoire he realized that his works were his and filled with emotion. He also realized he didn't want anyone else to own his music, he wanted to own it, perform it and share it with who he wants to when he wants to. That tiny idea eventually evolved into what today he is calling Muzime.
Muzime is a familiar idea, a music sharing platform ala the newest iteration of MySpace and of course social music powerhouse Spotify. However those comparisons just about stop after the "shared music" anomoly.
What separates Muzime from the Spotify's of the world, is that the platform is entirely about indy artists and musicians, like Fenelon, who hold onto the rights of their music.
The service is free to sing up for both artists and music buffs. Artists can create a profile page and share snippets of their songs on their pages. In fact they can upload as many songs as they like. From there, Muzime charges $.89 for the user base to download songs. Of that, the musician gets $.69 while Muzime holds onto $.20 from each track, to keep the servers running .
One of the great features about the site itself is that music lovers can stream each song two times. After the second time they can get a :30 clip of the song or download it for the $.89.
Muzime catalogs the music by artist, title, genre and mood. If you're feeling happy, sad, angry or any other mood you can select music that way as well.
Muzime has a wide variety of music from just about every genre. We checked out "Jam Bands", Hip Hop, Jazz and Classical all offering a good sized list of songs and artists. Also each song and artist have their own page where you can get lyrics, read stories about the song and artist and interact with the artists. Muzime is an incredibly robust platform especially considering it's made up of just independent artists.
The real beauty behind this innovative Florida startup is that Fenelon is not just looking to expose new artists to more people, he's looking to help artists monetize on their works, which is obviously a win-win for everyone involved.

Crazy is just so much fun to watch...like a train wreck that you just can't your eyes off of.
Victoria Jackson doesn't want to meet at her house. "The Nation of Islam wants to kill me," she explains apologetically in her inimitable shrill voice. Instead, she picks up a reporter at a Miami-area strip mall. Her weathered Honda Civic is adorned with "Nobama," Marco Rubio, and Tea Party bumper stickers, and inside, it smells like it's been fumigated with sweet incense.
She hurtles through intersections and down side streets, holding a Flip cam to her face with her left hand. Steering with elbows and the occasional pinkie, she opens a Bible inscribed with her name and quotes Scripture. Then she turns the camera on a reporter riding shotgun, whom she suspects is a socialist. "Don't you think that some people are on welfare from cradle to grave," she demands, ploddingly, "because the government is encouraging them never to work?"
"Leaving on a Jet Plane," her ringtone, blares from some unknown recess of her purse, and she's suddenly burrowing through loads of makeup cases to find it. "What if we crashed and died on video?" she says, laughing wildly. "That would be the most viral video of the world! You'd be dead, but you'd have a really viral video!"
Video: Victoria Jackson, Before and After
At age 52, Victoria Jackson bears little resemblance to that lithe and sweetly dopey girl with the grating voice on Saturday Night Live. And you wouldn't recognize her from those eight mostly forgettable '80s and '90s feature films such as I Love You to Death and No More Baths. These days, she cuts a more snowman-like figure. Or as Howard Stern recently put it, she "looks like she ate Victoria Jackson."
Her comedy career, which took her from Johnny Carson's stage in Los Angeles to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, long ago squeaked its last breath. She's a Miami-area suburban grandmother and wife of a buff local cop with a Bad Boys-esque career full of shootouts and commendations. And to some Christian conservatives, she is a seer of truth. The daffy actress — about whom the Washington Post once mused, "If you opened her head, it would be filled with cotton candy" — is now a bizarrely riveting semiregular political pundit on Fox News.
She's no Keyboard Cat. But videos uploaded of her — on cable news programs, on her online talk show, or filmed by her own erratic hand — have in just the past few months amassed more than a million page views. She has strummed a ukulele while harmonizing that Muslims "like beheadings and pedophile weddings." Even Bill O'Reilly laughed at her when she compared Barack Obama to "Castro in Cuba, or the guy in China, or Saddam Hussein." She has declared, in protest of a gay kiss on Glee, that homosexual children need to "pray the gay away" and that there's a "spiritual war in America."
But calling her the lunatic fringe is at most half right. Victoria has been invited to the office of Republican Florida congressman Bill Posey, who commiserated when she said Obama has "the fakest birth certificate I've ever seen in my life." She has gained a sympathetic audience with nearly every GOP candidate of the 2012 presidential campaign (excluding the guy she calls a "fake conservative," Mitt Romney). She rode the Tea Party Express bus with Herman Cain and joined Michele Bachmann at a D.C. rally where the crowd chanted, "There's a communist living in the White House!" If not the captain of the S.S. Tea Party, she's at least the screeching mermaid strapped to its bow.
Marlene Jackson pulls out a throne-like seat for a male visitor to the family's modest Miami Shores home. "That's the master's chair," Victoria's mom declares cheerily. "The man is the master."
Then she delivers cookies and Coca-Cola in old-timey bottles, just the way Victoria's dad likes them. Eighty-three-year-old Jim Jackson is a strapping and boyish former gymnast in thick spectacles. A squiggly triangle of pale flesh, left over from a melanoma graft, mars his left cheek. Along with Victoria, who is barefoot with cherry-red toenail polish and recording video as always, the little family gathers around a high-top table.
Soon, Jim begins with booming recollections of his youth as a champion gymnast. "I'm homophobic," he announces while describing why he doesn't like to strip in male locker rooms. "I also don't like fat people. Every time I see a 300-to 400-pound lady or a man sit down to stuff her face, I want to say, 'No, you fool! You're killing yourself!'"
Then he adds for good measure: "Our son is 300 pounds."
Marlene and Jim met around 1950 in Chicago, where he was raised and she was studying to be a nurse. Victoria's mom was from a family of Baptist zealots near Windom, Minnesota, a plains town about three hours southwest of the Twin Cities. During the Great Depression, the whole family went door-to-door preaching the evils of alcohol, caffeine, movies, music, dancing, dice, and cards.
Marlene's much-adored sister, Angeline Rose, had developed schizophrenia as a teenager and died in a state hospital. Marlene blamed God. In revenge, she married the happy-go-lucky gymnastics-obsessed Jim, whose only religion was Fred Astaire and Burt Lancaster movies. They moved to Miami in the early '50s, partly because Jim was inspired by Clark Gable's Mutiny on the Bounty.
Crazy is just so much fun to watch...like a train wreck that you just can't your eyes off of.
And I used to love watching her quirky weirdness on SNL when I was a kid, but hearing her talk I swear she should thwack Jesus Christ in his holy marbles for giving the brains of a jar of olives.
After getting this small but telling glimpse into Victoria Jackson, I came away with much renewed hope for the future of liberal Democrats.
thats typical... kelsey grammer,a known pedaphile is a closet conservative ... soubnds a lot like haggert!

The Lonely Pacific is Not So Lonely Anymore
Serious action on the ocean today. At breakfast, a German man who boarded in Honolulu and has been selling duty-free diamond jewelry down in the gift shop at, he tells us, quite a discount, pointed over the railing and said, "Look, there is a ship." (The German gem dealer, incidentally, is one of the best-dressed people on board.) No one stirred. No one, that is, except me, because I have been left dumbstruck and agog--flabbergasted, really--by the shocking lack of ships out here on the Pacific.
Sure enough, the German man was telling the truth--about the ship, at least. Way off in the distance you could make out the silhouette of a freighter. The body was long and low and at the very back was a tower. I downed my porridge and headed directly to the front of the ship, so as to put myself a few hundred feet closer to the alien vessel. Its course was perpendicular to our own, and for a while it looked like we were going to get close. We did not.
Ahoy there! How's the shuffleboard? |
Bob showed up a few minutes later. Bob is the kind of inveterate world traveler you only ever meet while traveling the world. The last such character I bumped into was on an overnight train from Geneva to Barcelona in 1996. His name was Bill Braun and he was 90 years old. He spoke 11 languages--nine of them fluently--had crossed every continent save Antarctica several times and had a wooden leg, which he'd earned fighting the Germans in World War II. Bill left me with one piece of advice: "I'd rather be glib than be daft." At the time, I didn't know what "glib" meant.
Bob is a similar kind of person. He grew up in Seattle and when he was a young man, he and a buddy drove across Africa in a Land Rover for the simple reason that they could. Bob has crossed the world's oceans countless times and has a story for each journey. One time, when he was crossing on his own boat, Bob took the remainders of a leg of lamb that he and his family had enjoyed at dinner, wrapped it in steel cable and then threw the whole package overboard, just to see what would happen. The next morning, they awoke to find the cable frayed and only the barest nub of bone left. "You'd have to figure it was a Great White," Bob said. You'd have to figure Bob is right.
Bob's first ever cruise was on the original Queen Mary in 1937. His most striking memory is the food, which he says was a lot better on cruises back then than it is now. There is an important lesson, here. We assume there is constant and uninterrupted progress in the world, and that the arena of hospitality is included in this. Everything, after all, is vastly improved compared to 1937. Transportation is better, refrigeration technology has grown by leaps and bounds, farm yields have quadrupled, and we now know what mesclun and yuzu are. And yet, cruise liner food is worse now than it was almost 75 years ago.
Bob identified the alien ship as an oil tanker. "It's on its way from the Persian Gulf up into Asia. Probably Japan." We watched it pass, which took about an hour, distantly aware of the tanker's hulking significance.
Can anyone identify this bird? |
When it was gone, we began watching the birds. The birds were white with black markings, like seagulls but with a much better sense of style. I'm not sure if they were gulls, terns, or some member of the albatross family-likely none of the above. They seemed to have joined us out of nowhere, though we did swing close to the Northern Mariana Islands on Sunday.
This is how the birds spent their day: The would fly to the front of the ship, then start to glide. When they would lose a little altitude, they would flap a few times and glide some more. It would go on and on like this for several minutes, and this was in itself entertaining.
Every now and again, however, something fantastic would happen. Scanning the ocean below, a bird would see a flying fish skip over the surface and would pull into an insane swoop, turning 90 degrees in a fraction of a second and accelerating towards the ocean's surface at an alarming rate. Sometimes, they would pull up just as they were about to hit and snatch the flying fish out of midair, which was exhilarating.
More often than not, however, something yet more exhilarating took place: The birds would tuck their wings behind them and bring their legs up landing-gear style and torpedo into the water at top speed. Even from several hundred feet away, you could see the arrow of bubbles shoot down into the water for several feet, and it was evident that the fishes' chances were dismally low. Seconds later, the birds would bob up to the surface, sitting there in the rubber-ducky position as though nothing special had happened, turning their heads left and right, perhaps enjoying an avian belch or two. A minute later, they would take off, assume their position at the front of the ship and it would all begin again.
I spent most of yesterday stringing together torpedo moment after torpedo moment. The birds, it occurred to me, possess so many of the skills wanting in people: patience, diligence, determination, focus, and, who can forget, the ability to fly. One of these birds, I thought, could do very well as a motivational speaker. By dinnertime, I had quite a sunburn.

I'm looking for some suggestions for my backyard planting bed. This area is in full sun most of the day, basically from 10 am till 5-6 pm. I know it looks bad right now but I'm planning on adding lots of compost to make it habitable for my new plants.
Even though I am a beginner at this, I am more than willing to learn and I want to try and experiment and do this myself (hopefully with some help from you guys) Also I have small children so I want to avoid any poisonous plants. Any suggestions will be much appreciated :) Sooma |
Follow-Up Postings:
Whoever put that hardscaping in didn't do you any favours as the bed against the wall is totally impractical. What I suggest you do is take out some of the soil and put down some landscaping cloth then cover this with pea shingle. You can then plant into terracotta pots plants of your choice. The 'gravel' will rid you of the soil stain allow access to water and whatever those utilities are and generally tidy up the area. |
Hmmmm.... you might not realize your dreams with this little spot. Tea olive is more or less a small tree (that meany people keep chopped down into a hedge...but it's large.) I don't know Chinese rice flower so maybe you can get a botanical name. But this area is very small. If it were mine I'd be looking at it like it's a nice window box and fill it with color. I think I'd start with a heat tolerant annual (of your choice, shooting for an 18" ht.) or shrub/perennial Ruellia 'Katie'. Some Caladiums would probably work in the warm season. Anyone know if Freesia would work in the cool season? I've never grown them, but there is no better scent. (It's tea olive-ish.) |

Oh you Canadians with your huge yards and wide open space. ; - ) Us Californians see this tiny strip of gardening space as valuable plantable real estate. You'll be happy to know that there are some great combo's that could fit in your area. Thinks small palms, salvias, succulents , anigozanthos, heliconias, cycads, cussonia, banana, bromeliads, bird of paradise ..... (OK, so the palm is a little big for your space but look what can be done in a narrow space )
made for the shade, but as you can see, we Californians SQUEEEEEZE in what we can in narrow spaces.

Good point about the soil stain on the stucco, Ink -- but exuberant zone 10 plants would hide it. Sooma, I haven't lived in your zone (Long Beach) since I was seven, and though I can think of plants I'd put in that bed, they don't fit your needs. But let me mention a couple of things. You'll want something that's tall enough and dense enough to hide the boxes (and if you're lucky, the hose), yet allows access to the faucet handle. So nothing with brittle stems or delicate leaves near the faucet. I believe your hose reel is the revolving type: if not, look into replacing it with one that turns (less contact between hose and plants). The hose guide on your hose reel is in the wrong location to keep the hose away from the plants in the bed. Another possibility would be a hose guide with a loop to keep the hose under control. I'd try it at the corner of the bed, but that might not suit you. The hose guide would need to be strongly anchored in the soil; once I'd definitely decided on the best location, a hose guide that would do the job well, and the best height, I'd consider anchoring it in cement. (The top of the cement would be several inches below the brick edging, hidden by Ink's pea gravel.) Examples of loop hose guides: You could also use a length of pipe and a loop of the type used atop cyclone fencing -- or anything similar from the hardware department; just be sure it's strong. (The Previous Owner of my house would have planted 4' of fence post at that corner of the bed and run the hose behind it; not exactly picturesque, but effective.) |
Another Canadian says... D-D, I think you have it. I would actually stay with those low succulents and companions in the vignettes D-D has shown and make sort of a tapestry on the ground. Yardvisor is right that going tall here is not going to be a good thing. Tall is inevitably wide, and will (a) rob you of shoulder space, and (b) lean out from the wall to get more light and thus rob you of more shoulder space. So think about covering the ground, and not about covering the wall, and I think you'll have lots of fun with the space. Although perhaps you can use plants tall enough to hide the boxes, personally I wouldn't worry about them. Once there is other stuff to look at I doubt the boxes will get much attention. Although MTO's points about actually using the hose are well taken. Lovely compositions, David. Karin L |

Thank you all for the generous advice and suggestions! Inkognito, I wish I could just put some pea shingle down in that spot and get it over with, but I have small children and I would be forever fishing out pieces of gravel from my 20 month olds mouth :-D Yardadviser and KarinL, thanks for the input on the size of Tea Olive and the pointing out the problems I will run into planting it into that space. Chinese rice flower is Aglaia Odorata and I think I will run into the same problem as Tea Olive. I will research the other plants you pointed out! Deviant-deziner, the photos you posted are gorgeous...definitely something to aspire to, even if I don't get it right the first (few) times ;-) Adriennemd, wow I've never seen anything like those vertical planters before! What an interesting idea for an herb garden. Based on all the input, I'm going to re-evaluate my original plans. I'm just going to plop in some annuals in that spot for now, while I do some more research on the great suggestions. Thanks a bunch again guys! Sooma |

An easy peasy pie installation would be Agapanthus "Storm Cloud" variety. It is an electric bluish purple color. I did a narrow strip planting with them and it is a stunning look, especially when you look out the windows and see the large globes of flowers. ( can't seem to locate a photo of it ) - a google search will help with ID Here's another narrow strip planter bed - about 20 inches wide or less
9 months after
I would avoid planting a Brugmansia ( Angel Trumpet ) if you have small kids that put stuff in their mouths. All parts of it are poisonous. |
Sooma: good on ya for following up, gardening can be daunting but for anyone who has brought children into the world anything else is a doddle. And on that same note nature has a way with what goes in one end coming out the other. Go with your annuals because by definition this means you get to try again next year. |

Luna Beads: Make your orgasms better and tone your vagina
Lelo's Luna Beads have made headlines with their vaginal weights system called the Lelo Luna Beads. And, they became insanely popular thanks to "Christian Grey" and his love of spanking "Anastasia" while she wore the "sex beads" in side of her vagina in the "50 Shades" trilogy.
Ben Wa balls have been around for thousands of years. Ben Wa literaly means "internal use ball" and you can read all about the history of the ben wa balls all here on wikipedia. In some cultures, ben wa balls are handed down from generation to generation and kept clean and shared from mother to daughter. Probably not so common any longer, but they use to be treated like a family heirloom.
Ben Wa balls and other products like these LELO Luna Beads are designed to help with a few things. Many women, as we age, sometimes have issues with incontinence and sometimes find that we get a little leaky when we sneez or laugh too hard. Many gynecologists will recommend ben wa balls to women who have experienced child birth to help with vaginal elasticity and bladder control.
So what Lelo did is they took the ben wa ball to the next level. LELO.com is known for their innovation and their fabulous rechargeable sex toys. Their LELO Luna Beads are like really high tech weighted ben wa balls with a string.
The marketing description from the LELO.com website about the LELO LUNA BEADS is this: " LELO Luna Beads are the sleek and seductive take on the World's bestselling Ben Wa balls, bringing irresistible pleasures during foreplay and beyond. Perfect for wearing on a night with your partner, the inner balls respond to movements with subtle vibrations, enhancing your feeling for the pleasures to come. More than just building sensations, they also promise an array of health benefits and more powerful and regular orgasms in the future."
What I think is so fabulous about the Luna Beads is that you get two sets of weighted balls. One set is 28grams and the other set is 37grams and they have a silicone holder in which you can insert the balls and use that to insert into our vagina. And, the ball inside the ball actually moves around so you can feel a sort of vibration when you move. (Or are being spanked.) The silicone holder makes it easy to insert and remove the balls when you are done. (Many women worry about the standard ben wa balls getting lost... I should remind everyone that the vagina is a cul de sac. What goes in has to come back out.)
After I got my set of Luna Beads, I started with the lighter beads first and then worked up to the heavier beads. If you want to feel the vibration from the ball inside of the balls, you do need to move pretty rigorously. Use your imagination.... bike riding, dancing, or have them inserted while you are receiving oral sex or while having anal sex. If you are into spankings and bondage, you could certainly insert then before your kinky play as they did in the book.
