Hi , no flexeril does not make you gain weight.
This is odd , one of the many side effects is loss of appetite, you have not changed your routine, you are not hungry, but you still eat or is there a lack of appetite?
Because if you have a lack of appetite you should contact your Doctor ASAP.
I do not have all the answers, I think no one does, now with regards to your weight gain problem I must say it could be water retention.( I am guessing) I am not a Doctor.
I suggest the following:
Tell your doctor about any UNUSUAL or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Contact your Doctor anyway and explain to him/her what you are experiencing... from a caring individual.
i would say there is possibity of it because its sedative i used take but now cant since iam going through withdrawl but when i take made me tired of course if u take it through out day thats y your gaining wait you dont want move around on it just sit and eat .
Nicole I am truly sorry you are goin through withdrawal..been there ..I understand what you must be feeling
Contact me anytime... if you want ... my door is always open..ok
Not until you smoke a joint buck!

Xanax makes you gain weight and its like a muscle relaxer so does soma these both work really well with your appetite and helping gain weight. Are you trying to gain weight? whoever gave you flexaril to help you gain weight does not know what they are doing flexaril is not to help weight gain at all.
16 Sep 2010
if your eating habbits have not changed its not the med itself but the side effect of the flexerall relaxing your muscles. Which is making you sluggish and tired. its relaxing your muscles therefore making you tired and probably taking away whatever motivation you had before you started taking it., away. Does this make any sense to ya ? Hope this helps

Eve returns to Adam having eaten the forbidden fruit.
Acrylic on canvas. 38 × 36 in.
this picture is a collaboration with fellow bubbler Jeff Schauss who painted a loose background on canvas so that i could then see what images would appear from the textures. neither of us had any pre-conceptions of what the image should be, letting the work develop into its own form was a breath of fresh air from my usual pre-planned assaults from sketches and notes. and so an image of eden emerged, in that critical interjunction between the fall of eve and the fall of adam, and the changing of humanity forever.
Incredible colours- really nice- wow

Avondale City Council Appoints New Mayor
June 04, 2014
Avondale has a new mayor: Kenneth Weise assumes the job, to finish out the term of his predecessor.
Weise will serve as Avondale's mayor until the end of 2016. He takes over for Marie Lopez Rogers, who resigned last week to run for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. She's trying to win the seat that was vacated by Mary Rose Wilcox, who's running to replace retiring Rep. Ed Pastor.
Weise is a native of Illinois, and has lived in Avondale since 1995. He's been on the city council since 2007, and served as Vice-Mayor between 2008 and 2010. His colleagues on the city council unanimously voted to appoint him mayor.

Customer reviews
By Lauren 12 Sep 2010
This was a beautiful book and so easy to read. It is written in a really unique way, from the perspective of Christopher who has Asperger's Syndrome. I loved Christopher's story and was left wanting to read more once I had finished the book. A truly wonderful book.
Review quote
"Haddon is to be congratulated for imagining a new kind of hero, for the humbling instruction this warm and often funny novel offers and for showing that the best lives are lived where difference is cherished" -- Carol Ann Duffy Daily Telegraph "The clash between Christopher's view of the world and the way it looks to the rest of us makes this an extraordinarily moving, often blackly funny read. It is hard to think of anyone who would not be moved and delighted by this book, so the decision to publish it simultaneously for older children and adults is certainly well-founded" -- Jill Slotover Financial Times "Brilliantly inventive, full of dazzling set-pieces, unbearably sad, yet also skilfully dodging any encounters with sentimentality, this isn't simply the most original novel I've read in years ... It's also one of the best" The Times "A stroke of genius, as the advantages of having a naive, literal-minded boy in the driving seat are manifold ... We do learn what it might feel like to have Asperger's Syndrome" -- David Newnham TES "The book gave me that rare, greedy feeling of: this is so good I want to read it all at once but I mustn't or it will be over too soon" -- Kate Kellaway Observer

NEWBIES: stay out of your garden
I KNOW YOU HAVE THE FEVER.... the hardest months of the gardening year.. are the transition from winter to spring... YOU CAN DO SO MUCH DAMAGE..
just put down the tools... and walk away ....
clean up fallen sticks.. fallen leaves.. AND MAKE PLANS .... but do nothing for another month or so ...
and try to stay out of that fluffy moist soil... you have better odds of turning it into adobe by summer from repeated compaction.. than any good you can do walking thru sodden soil ...
whats your zone.. and when is your time to start ...
the above perspective come from the great white north .... where the soil will most likely remain frozen solid for 2 or 3 more weeks ... so how goes it in the warmer zones ????
PS: the only exception is the transplantation of trees/conifers/shrubs and established perennials.. and they are moved.. with rootballs in april ... in my z5 .... warmer zones.. whenever.. as long before leaf sprout as possible.. and in z4 or 3.. in august.. lol ... thats when the snow melts ..
I am so proud of myself! That is exactly what I told myself today when we had temps in the 50s-felt like spring almost (except for those few patches of snow lingering here and there). I did notice a bunch of broken branches on many azaleas and my magnolia from the snow we had (56" total this winter-wow). I think I will wait a bit to really investigate all the shrubs and trees. Or, should I go ahead and tramp around in order to prune the damaged limbs?
I do see the daffodils coming up. JOY!
It's funny you should say all this ken, because I just got done thinking I would go outside tomorrow and prune off the dead leaves from last seasons heucheras, and then I thought to myself, NO! Leave them alone! There are still several freezes and warm ups to come and I will kill them!
Thankyou for reminding us "grasshoppers" to have patience! I will put down my tools and walk away from the gardens, at least for another month! lol
I am going to temper Ken's advice by saying what to do when depends entirely on where you are located. In my location, right now is an ideal time to do just about anything in the garden - pruning, planting, transplanting, preparing new garden beds, weeding, cutting back old foliage, cleaning up from winter, mulching - you name it, NOW is the time to do it.
It may be appropriate to wait in colder zones for much of this activity but as with everything else associated with gardening, there are very few absolutes, so let your location and your climate be your guide.
FWIW, I've been doing all the above chores for the last month or so. YMMV
I did find a lot of unwanted tree seedlings and chopped those off - hopefully they will not resprout. And got rid of some unwanted blackberry brambles... That is all. Stayed out of the "fun part". It looks like I have some black canes on the roses this year though:(
I don't normally get out too early to start cleaning up. So what is it about getting out too early that is the problem? I know you aren't supposed to walk on wet soil because of compaction, but at my h*ouse, we've had very little snow and rain this year and I suspect it is not that wet out there. Is there also a concern about pulling back mulch or trimming dead foliage because of late frosts?
Ken, don't have to tell us in Iowa to stay out of our gardens, heck, we can't get there, the snow is up to our calves. I took a walk out to the shed to find some pots for seedlings. Passing by my Miss Kim Lilacs, I see the rabbits have decimated them. Also a beautiful tiger eye sumac which was beautiful last year given to me by the park board on which I had served for many years. It was a gift for my husband's funeral and I am so sad to see it completely girdled. Will it grow back from the roots? Mary
Agree with GardenGal.
I have a day off this week, and I'm probably going to get out there and prune my rugosa roses. I normally do this chore sometime in March, weather depending, it's one of those things I like to get out of the way.
So, yea, I think it's okay to get out there and do things that won't have you trampling through the beds, compacting the soil.
check out the link ....
anyway.. whats with the 'tempering'.. or sniping.. i specifically asked the following:
whats your zone.. and when is your time to start ...
the above perspective come from the great white north .... where the soil will most likely remain frozen solid for 2 or 3 more weeks ... so how goes it in the warmer zones ????
as to mx ... perhaps you are not a newbie .. and perhaps.. you know how to deal with it all ....
my point was simply .. for those who might not know better ... that perhaps .. creating cement in their garden is not the best thing to do.. no matter what the level of spring fever ....
regardless.. you all have a great day... and do whatever you want...
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Ken, you addressed your post to "all newbies" - I merely added to your advice that where you are located will determine what can/should be done when. For many newbies, that time may be NOW :-) As to the 'frozen north', latitude is not the only limiting factor - I am located considerably more northerly than you are yet seldom experience any of the winter conditions you may. Here, it is spring and time to get busy!
As with a number of other subjects, it's all about location, location, location :-))
Yeah, down here in the south winter SHOULD be over. We might get a little frost between now and the middle of April, but that won't keep me from pruning old growth, removing mulch, and even planting a few tough perennials.
If we wait too long down here, it will be a struggle to keep plants alive once the heatwave hits in May!
Yes, the only thing I'm doing this time of year is shovelling snow ONTO my garden! The snow starts melting on it too quickly, and I don't want any of my more tender perennials getting a big cold shock later this month, when Saskatchewan will probably head back into the deep freeze. Plus, my dwarf evergreens fair so much better if I keep them snow covered as long as possible.
Last year was a DISASTER for the garden in spring. We had a new deck built, right by our big flower bed, and the guy who built it didn't have it done on time (before spring thaw) and he was still tramping around when the ground got mucky. I was literally ripping out my hair! I wanted the deck done of course, but it was practically tear-inducing to know what kind of compaction I'd be facing later in the year. Lots of my tulips and daffodils never did come up where he walked.
I admit, I did walk around - gingerly - to check how much winter dieback I have on my shrubs and roses. I won't need to check for "signs of life" for probably another month, quite possibly more. Stupid zone 3.
Since this is in a perrenials forum I am thinking staying out of the garden is in reference to tending to perrenial clean up?
Otherwise right now is the PERFECT timing for pruning some trees and shrubs.
In my area there is a thin layer of snow and the ground is still frozen...yet its fairly mild out. You don't want to go out there in 2 or 3 weeks when the snow has completely melted and the soil is fluffy, this is when damage can be done to the soil structure and/or grass.
The situation will be different each year...you'll have a window of oppurtunity otherwise you wait till late April.
Although this is the perennials forum we have people posting from many zones and location really does determine when things should be done in a garden.
There's very little blanket advice except for perhaps things like technique: how to divide, etc.
I clean up in the fall each year without any problems. Sometimes I leave a few sticks so I know where things are, but that's it.
I avoided this forum for years because I thought it belonged to the Northerners in a cliquish way...so perhaps I'm sensitive to this type of topic.
Ken's advice is great for those in his location!
Good overall advice for the zone 3 - 6 crowd but the one exception ( as Whaas pointed this out) is dormant pruning of trees/shrubs. That's what I've been doing for the past week and half. The window on this (at least in zone 5) is closing fast and will be gone after mid March. I've just been extra mindful about the amount of walking back and forth on the newly frost heaved soil and have tried to keep it to a minimum.
I prune my apple tree about now by thinning out branches that are crowded, at bad angles, crossing and/or damaged plus any water sprouts - the blossoms and thus the fruit (if I get a fair amount of pollination) form on buds formed from the previous year. If you have to aggressively prune your tree because it hasn't been done in a few years you may have not have as much fruit as a previous year. This is why I do it almost every winter to balance out those branches I'm keeping (which I hope will bear decent size fruit) and those which have to go. If you leave too many branches the fruit tends to be smaller each year and then you end up having to radically prune so it is a chore best done every winter or early spring.
Oh boy. I have to laugh...
I cut my heuchera leaves back yesterday. I KNEW I shouldn't be doing it, but couldn't contain myself.
Actually, I went out there to cut back my clems, fine for this time of year. I also cut back my Annabelle Hydrangea, which should also be ok. Picked up sticks. Cut a couple stray stems from my grapevine. Planted some spring blooming bulbs that somehow didn't get in the ground by last November.
I cut back my Carefree Sunshine rose shrub...I know, I know...it was covered this winter in blackspot. But, I'm tired of the rose maintenance and figured, if I lose it, I won't be heartbroken. It was fine in the fall, got blackspot, or at least VISIBLE blackspot over the winter.
I'm assuming also, I should refrain from feeding a systemic 3-1 to treat the blackspot until April as well, fertilizing now probably not a good thing. Still, I'm tempted.
Thanks Ken for the warning. But I'm not a newbie, just a garden addict. LOL.
I have to prune the peach tree mostly because it gets too tall to reach the fruit, which tends to be on the topmost branches. I try to keep after it, but I usually think of it later in the season. It got out of hand (or out of reach, more accurately) back when it was really young, so there is a limit to what I can do now. The center is open and there are no crossing branches, itÂs just keeping it in bounds vertically.
So...I'm a newbie, practically in zone 4 instead of zone 5, and I just spent a few hours outside (:-0!!! I inherited a garden with good beginnings but recent neglect, so even though this is my 2nd full summer in the garden there are many things to do. And...I've never done "real" gardening before now. So, I was just outside trampling over everything trying to see what's growing, I cleaned up the irises and lilies, trimmed the tangly hydrangea, trimmed the mint (oh, if only early trimming would tame the mint a bit and I'd trim it in January). I thought I was being such a good little girl scout for not letting it all wait. I've never heard of compacting soil!
deanna, you might want to read up on hydrangeas as trimming them or cutting them down will cause you to loose this years blooms depending on the variety you have. Also Mint is an aggressive plant that can and will take over your yard. I would keep it planted in a container in the garden.
I trimmed only limbs off the hydrangea that I don't want to grow back. Several unsightly suckers had reached trunk proportion. I majorly shaved the thing last year and husband was shocked at how much I cut off, but it needed even more. (When I say my garden suffered from recent neglect, I mean true neglect!) I'd like for the growth I cut off to stay away. However, I didn't know hydrangeas were like azaleas. I thought they could be trimmed early summer. Thanks for the heads-up on that. I'll be sure to read before I go trimming the part I want to stay.
And, the previous owner planted the mint...in the ground...and did I mention the years of neglect? You can imagine the size of my mint problem. I will say that my first 50 weedings were highly fragrant, though. Mint makes every weeding day reming you of ice-cream!
(At first I thought the previous owner didn't realize mint should be contained. Then I found out she planted it at her previous house also...in the ground. Not sure what she was thinking!)
Thanks for the tips!
I've had a note in my calendar for 6 mos to feed my lilacs with Epsom Salts in March. And since I didn't feed my rhodies and azaleas last fall like usual, its ok to toss some Espoma on them. Other than that it is really tempting to get to the hellebores I can reach and trim away the old leaves as they are full of buds right now.
We will have temps in the 50s and 60s this week with sunshine so it will be really nice, not just 38 and sunny that looks good from the opposite side of the window.
It occurs to me that this would be a good time to whack off the big grasses too. so why am I sitting here.....?
At the dire risk of compaction, I spent several hours in the garden the past couple of days cutting back all my large ornamental grasses and a few other perennials. I had a couple of days off, the weather was beautiful, and if I don't do the work when time permits, it winds up May and there are lots of other things to do. The beds will recover from the weight of Gardenersaurus.
I also put in 12 feet of snap peas today - possibly the earliest I've ever gotten any spring vegetables in the ground (this was in the best-drained portion of the vegetable garden).
Sometimes you've just got to make hay while the sun shines.
Eric - Pea sowing was on my mind, too, I just never got around to picking up the seeds at the store over the weekend.
I have to send DH out there to cut back the ornamental grasses. If he doesn't do it by the time he and his buddies decide golf season has begun, then fuggedaboutit, he's not going to do it. I wrote myself a Post-It to remind him to do that chore this weekend.
I've been fluffing mulch, cutting back vines and trimming trees and generally looking at the bulbs poking through. I really want to sink a pretty large bamboo into the ground (its not happy about spending this winter in the house, the dog hasn't been nice to it).
Tomorrow I will cut back the ornamental grass and keep itching to plant that bamboo, but I will wait until after April 1st (i'll have more time that next week than I do now anyway).
Yep, it will be 70 degrees here tomorrow, too. I am hoping most of the ground has dried out enough, but I really will have to get out there for a bit just to renew my spirit! I promise I won't tramp about too much, Ken! And, I'll stay out of the lower yard which I am sure will still be soggy.
You aren't suggesting that people stay out of their gardens in April are you Ken? I will have to respectfully disagree. It may be too early for the northern climates to plant out tender plants but this is the perfect time for planting hardy perennials and by now most garden cutting back and tidying should be done.
fwiw, my late April flowering plants have flowered already. In New England we seem to be a good 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I feel like I am way behind in spring tasks based on plant stages. Cleaning out the beds is so much easier when perennials are barely up. Not so this year!
And my damp side of the yard will probably have to wait til June or July for cleanup after our record-breaking rains! I did a lot in the fall knowing that sometimes it is too wet to work there during Spring.
i start getting really PO'd in february.. when all those braggarts in z8 start telling us they are going outside.. into spring ....
while i will be trying to dig out of 12 to 18 inches today ... [i am hoping that if i keep complaining.. the storm will miss us ]
One good thing about all the snow is that it was a good time to drop seven red maples whose roots were competing with hostas. I figured the snow would cushion my stomping around the hostas while bucking up the trees. There was one big snarly 20' tree that had me concerned; not only as to placement, but was worried that squirejohn wouldn't end up as "flatjohn". All came out fine however- WHEW!
I'm a bit confused. Is the point mainly to stay out of the gardens as the soils still wet and thus compaction?
Or is it that cutting back dead growth from perennials willl NOT help protect them with upcoming frosts?
If it's the latter, I don't understand, as some people in fall cut back all their perennials down to almost earth. ??
Sticks, rocks, weeds.. yes, that keeps me busy at least. Cutting back ornamental grasses (the dreadful task), that can't hurt, can it?
Sorry if I'm naive!
mx is correct ...
just because YOU HAVE THE FEVER ... and want to get to work ASAP ...
does not mean it will be good for your soil.. or your garden ...
turning your soft thawing soil .. into the soil equivalent of concrete can make problems in the long run ...
now.. if you have walking paths .. and can work without actually stepping into the growing area.. knock yourself out ....
;) I have been gardening for six years now in my own garden and spent many years side by side with my parents in their garden. Many of us ever stop being "newbies". I don't think perennials in particular are all THAT delicate. I haven't killed very many in the years that I've been gardening but each year I proceed to move them around and divide them with hesitation. Right now my garden is full and lush and I'd hate to kill everything and start over! I do agree though, tromping around in soft wet soil will create a real pain later, and I appreciate your reminder on that! Though, to be honest I will probably still go out there anyway. :) I truly don't think you can do THAT much damage unless you start putting out tender annuals this early. The old rules of thumb are for "best results" purposes, but they aren't really do or die. As others have said it is really a fluid everchanging due to circumstance and general rule to say hold off for a few more weeks...good general advice but of course it's different everywhere for everyone, so, proceed with caution, use common sense, and when it doubt, wait. :)
Well, apropos of this very problem, I have not been tromping around much in my garden, but we had work being done in our house all winter, including a new backyard deck and patio constructed, and there was lots of people, junk and construction material where it shouldn't have been. Now they're about done (though still occasionally tromping around in what were or are to become planting beds), and I'm pretty worried about what damage they might have done, and wondering how to fix it. Are there gadgets or techniques for re-aerating compacted soils, especially around tree roots, that can be hand-operated and used in a small space?
i used to take a stout garden spading fork ... stick it in.. and just pull it backs ... it puffs the soil.. adds drainage holes ...
like the one at the link.. but you can probably get it at bigboxstore .... the key to a long life.. is a metal handle.. i have broken at least 2 with plastic handles .... pay a little extra and it will last you a lifetime ...
the lazy way .... just go around the empty spots ... and fluff ...
the best way.. dig out every single plant ... set them in the grass .... double dig the whole bed.. and replant ....
once you use this.. you will probably not go back to a shovel ...
i really think you ought to copy/paste your question into a new post.. and then i will do the same... too many peeps might just not see this buried down here ... and of course.. you dont allow email thru your members page.. so who knows if you will ever see my reply ...
Here is a link that might be useful: link
I am often so busy with work and family that I can barely get enough time to put into the garden. I have tried hard to be efficient and do only what is necessary.
Currently, I am merely wandering around the garden and observing what is coming up.
When would be a good time to start working in the garden here in zone 7B? Actually, we're now zoned as 8A, but I still stick to 7A/7B to be on the safe side.
Should you start after the last frost date? I've found several dates for our area ranging from March 26th to April 6th and even April 20th. I usually don't start gardening and bringing out indoor sown plants until late April to early May. I do prep beds in late March/early April about the same time I plant out gladiolus and lilies. Is this a mistake?
hi jeff..
there is no way for us to tell you.. when your soil can handle you walking on it ....
all i am trying to do.. is make you aware.. that if you compact the soil ... you may regret it later ....
now if you are just walking thru.. thats one thing.. i am talking about standing there.. digging.. standing there... etc ...
live and learn dude .. lol ..
i have sand .. you have been to a sandy beach.. remember standing just before the water line.. and rocking back and forth.. and water started squishing out.. that would be bad in the garden.. because you are compacting the soil under you .. and when it dried in august.. it would be adobe ... thats the best example i can give you ...
how it all works on your soil.. in your zone.. i can not predict ...
good luck .. you got the fever bad.. dont you.. lol ..
Yeah, I was bit pretty bad by the spring fever bug. I can't wait to get everything done so I can start planting out the who-knows-how-many plants I have yet to start this year.
I guess it's safe for me to work in the beds... lightly. The bulbs are up so I don't have to worry about walking on those. There's a lot of work to be done, so I'll just tag aeration and soil fluffing to that list.
Ken, I was going to take advantage of the beautiful weather and clean out the leaves from the garage flowerbed..I tried to rake them but that was a lost cause, so I started stepping where I thought it was bare and as I reached around to put more leaves into the required county yard waste paper bag, I almost fell and as I was trying to balance myself, I saw where I had been stepping and it was compacted and I looked down again and saw all these tiny green leaves of some flower and I head your voise. "Newbie..stay out of your garden!" I saw immediately what you meant. Thanks for the advice.
Tell that to the 4, 5gl. bucketfuls of Shotweed I pulled out of the beds and borders over the last two days. There was no way I could sit back and watch that stuff bloom and go to seed. Not that it's going to help ALL that much as I have the stupid stuff growing in my lawn nearby the gardens. And it grew ontop of the mulch by the way and in between the pavers of the courtyard.
I already pinched my mums and removed last year's stems. They seem to be doing fine though. They were already 6-7 inches tall when I pinched them, but I left the mulch around them. I was going to transplant some of them this Saturday, 3/24/12, to fill in some gaps, but maybe I'll wait.
Anyway, thanks for the information.
HI folks! Apologies if this is the wrong spot, I have searched for 'newbie' and 'beginner' and this seemed like the best place. I am a complete and total beginner who knows zero about gardening. I am also a first time homeowner (living in Los Angeles, near LAX) who cooks a lot and has a toddler. Our back yard has one apple tree which apparently gives very tasty little apples, and one large tree of some kind that we're keeping. Everything else can go. My goals are to be able to grow some things I can use in the kitchen, to have a little patch where my kid can play and learn, and to have a nice looking yard generally.
I would love any tips on where to start. I already have the Sunset Western Gardening book and have read it, but I am a bit overwhelmed by it. I would love a reference to an ULTRA ULTRA beginner book. Like a cookbook that would teach you how to boil water, if you see what I mean.
I don't want to load up the page with a bunch of images if this is the wrong spot, but I have some if they'd be helpful.
Many thanks in advance!
I would love any tips on where to start.
well.. you could start your own post .. so that an email like this came to your address rather than mine ... and i dont say that to chide you for posting in the wrong place...
you will get much better info.. if you post things in the right place ... and dont be shy about posting EVERYWHERE .... we need and like newbies.. they keep the forum running thru winter ....
a lot of herbs are annuals.. so you could try that forum
some are perennial.. so try that forum ...
and i wouldnt be surprised if there isnt an herb forum ...
for your first post.. i would suggest something.. along the lines of BUILDING A NEW BED FOR HERBS ...
if you start by building a good soil to grow things in.. it will be a lot easier.. rather than doing it years later ... i will be looking for this post ...
good luck and have fun
ps: now i have to go read my own answer in my in-mail folder .. whats that all about.. lol ...
I am a Central Texas Zone 8b gardener and it is TOTALLY different down here. No snow, no rain , no compressed soil. The winter is our main time to plant perennials. We like to get them on the ground with roots established before the big heat strikes. Especially with perennials. I do most of my tree planting by early November and I stop planting perennials by the middle of April. Really by now , if I had my act together.I will plant Agaves and xeric plants a little later. They like the heat and rot can get started in the roots if it gets cold and wet. I am seeing lots of seeds popping.
Winter is the time that I also spend cleaning my woods and doing land restoration activities on the back canyon. I wouldn't exactly call it a garden. I have to clear 1.7 acres of underbrush ( Mountain ashe Juniper) and create swales to control the run off. I then protect the unusual trees that I find with the felled brush. I found three Madrone trees this weekend, and a bunch of evergreen sumac and agarita. The agarita is going into bloom as we speak. a Nice yellow on the glaucus green holly like leaves. Later I will have berries for jam.
I end up making the "bones" of how you perceive the space. It gets carved out of the inpenitrable thick brush and ends up with varied structure of the space of the woods. I find that process exciting. It does have the bad haircut look. Definite garden by reduction by chaisaw and loppers.
I took a bunch (shopping bags) of seeds from Eupatorium havanese, liatris, snake broom weed and bluestem grass and adzed it in to the land in select places. I pray that we get some rain. Seeds sometime take years to get that right combination of events to sprout here. Sometimes never. It is an act of faith. I just finished today.
Strange advice in the OP.
n.a. here.
It would perhaps be best to go to a reliable nursery or ask someone in your area what to do or when to do it if you lack experience. Most people are more than happy to answer questions based on local conditions. There are so many factors involved that vary from one region to the next, even within state lines.
A bit of common sense is always good. If your boots are getting caked with mud, its too wet to be in the garden. If you can make a ball of soil with your fist that holds together and it easily crumbles, go to work. Or, it might be a good way to check your soil texture because this is a good time down here to work on your soil, if that ball doesn't crumble, its too much clay.
Personally, I can work in the garden a day after a good rain because I have sandy soil and live on a slight slope and often I garden during a light rain, like I did Saturday. We are very dry here.
I know some other people in your situation wantanamara. They strongly advise using dynamite.
Down here, it would be bad advice to wait another month. We plant mostly in fall and late winter, not so much in late spring, thats really too late.

I should correct my statement to no danger of compressing soil. Most has been compressed by millions of years under a sea bed . When I have mud it is nothing like Mud Seasons of my childhood in the foothills to the Berkshire and springs in NH. Mud is a thin affair that is localized in puddles and the soil drains in almost minutes. I sink a inch into the caliche mud after 5" of rain.It is a soft dunn colored velvet between my toes. Not gunky or sticky. Quite pleasant and rare. With this drought, mud is a vague memory.
Depending on the words of a plant nursery about when is to late to plant is a chancy affair. They are known to thrive on that spring time gush of cellulose junkies into their aisles. They keep selling strong when it is already past the time that it is good to plant. They might not tell you the truth. High Summertime in Austin is our second winter. Plants go dormant and hang listlessly waiting for late September for their second spurt. This year is promising an intensifying drought so I am planning to curtail my planting this spring and keep it to a few tough characters this weekend.
I do love that these forums give voice to different people in different conditions.
wanton, you may have something about some of the nursery's at that. We're pretty lucky to have a family owned one thats been around since the 1920's. Those people are a goldmine of information from bugs to plants. There's also a family group at the farmers mkt. that's been raising plants and selling produce for generations. They wouldn't sell a person wrong either. Pretty plain talking people, the kind you sort of just trust.
Just realized this was from years ago! Well here in NW Illinois today we can finally see the ground. Most of the snow has melted and it is amazing that the grass is green! It snowed (and snowed for months) before the grass could turn brown. Yes, walking on the garden beds is not going to happen for a couple of weeks even though I am so anxious to get out there and do stuff.
Our house/acreage is on the market (moving to a southern state) and it is just fine with me if it doesn't sell until I can enjoy my gardens for one more summer. Starting all over someplace else will be fun but I love what I have.
nothing like a good debate ... to stimulate a conversation ...
in rereading ..... another truism jumped to mind ...that newbs should put to memory ..... in that MICRO CLIMATES RULE
what i do is all about z5 adrian mi ... someone 5 miles up the road can be in a whole other garden world ... as to my topic ...
so a newb has to take it all in ... try to understand the basic comment... and give it a whirl .... there simply arent spot on answers.. to a lot of this stuff.. specific to your garden ... so wing it ...
time to bump this one up ...
do note.. it was originally written in regard to my MI .. where the soil freezes solid for winter ... which leads.. in spring.. to frost heave.. making the soil all fluffy .. though sodden ..... so i suggest.. you not go tromping in there.. too soon ...
obviously .. warm zone peeps do not deal with this phenom ...
Thanks for the reminder! This whole week has been crazy warm here and I'm getting impatient, looking for evidence of my perennials while the weeds (lots of speedwell this year) get a head start. Out near the street the soil is extra fluffy. If I were still a child I'd stomp all over it just to enjoy the squishiness.
Here in SC Kansas it has been 60 - 70 degrees and is supposed to stay that way for the next two weeks. The insects are flying, the weeds are growing, but I'm partially in my garden. The sedums have re-sprouted from their roots, so I cut off the old dead stems but that is all I have done so far. Well, that and spread Halts on my lawn.
lol @ rusty: I went out to do my annual "poo bomb" cleanup with the snow gone. Also cleaned up a lot of leftover leaves from the fall as my house is in a weird wind zone where all my neighbors' leaves tend to congregate on my lawn and against the house.
No, they won't disappear anytime soon. You just have to deal with it. We lived in Northern IL and had 2 large labs. I tried to keep up with the poo patrol but when it would start snowing every single day, it was hard to worry about the piles when the driveway/paths needed shoveling. So, every spring I had this enormous mess of melting defecation that was all slimmed in with the grass and daffodil bulbs starting to come up!
No easy answers but just think about the NYC streets today as the snow melts!!! I can deal with my own dog's s----tuff, but all sorts of dogs every single day -----NOT.
Each spring since 2010 this post of yours, Ken, pops up. I don't think about it till I see it, but I'm always glad to be reminded you are still with us,at least enough so you can find this old post and hit the keys often enough to bump it ¨current¨ status. That's not nice of me; Im the one who hasn't been here in five months.
It's odd how for some years there were no comments along the line of ¨you're kidding, we're swatting the bugs already¨.... glad we've increased geographical diversity . As March drags on and on and on I feel acutely jealous of people who get to play in their gardens now.
I disobeyed Ken today and was out in the garden - edging, weeding, trimming off some dead perennial stalks I didn't get to last fall and checking out the early sprouters. I did stay off the soil as much as possible.
It's good I took advantage of the nice day - some Hellebores are already in flower and the first daffodils should be opening within a week. My seed-grown Echium russicum has survived the winter and the Pyrethrum I put in last fall is pushing out fresh new growth.
Real spring is coming.
I get into my garden whenever I feel like it. I don't care what you "are not supposed to do." If something dies, I'll replace it. If I accidentally uproot something I'll put it back in the ground. If getting in my garden this time of year brings me joy, then I'm getting in my garden. :-)
If the soil isn't wet you can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you compress a couple inches of soil as you'll do so anyhow at some point. If you wait then next thing you know you get some flooding spring rains. Get out there as soon as its no longer soggy.
Its going to get droughty here pretty soon. There wasn't more than a couple inches of snow on the ground at any one point. The rabbits terrorized the trunks of shrubs likely girdling some since we had limited snow cover throughout the entire winter.
I transplanted a hydrangea and a couple Chamaecyparis that apparently just can'thandle winter sun in the upper end of zone 5.
Can't plant yet as everything I got was used to the super warm PNW.
Rusty - What area are you in? I'm in zone 6a and still have at least three quarters of my yard covered with snow. I have just noticed some crocus showing a bare 1/4 inch poking up where the snow has melted.
I get out in the garden when the first opportunity to start cleaning up presents itself, but I have arranged the garden so that I can work without stepping into any growing areas. I have walk ways and pathways along the edge of my borders and stepping stones in the borders. My vegetable gardens are raised beds.
Since Ken started this thread, I do remember it when I am out there and I'm more conscious of where I step. I stay off the lawn too, but I do have a LOT of pruning to do this year that has to get started very soon. Unfortunately with the deep snow cover this winter, it wasn't possible to prune while the ground was frozen.
A LOT of snow is melting and the ground has to be saturated, that is if it ever warms up enough to thaw. lol
I wouldn't dream of walking in my garden right now. My memory is so bad that I have no idea what is planted where and undoubtedly I would step on emerging bulbs and squish them.
I do however do some light raking of the front to clear out garbage/leaves to tidy it up, while standing on walkway.
Oops, I didn't realize I was in the perennial forum. Houzz sends the updates via email and it doesn't tell you what forum the comment is from.
I get the point with perennials especially with bulbs and those that cut their plants back in the fall. Don't get the lawn comments though, you won't effect its growth unless you have wet clay. Even though your limited foot traffic is not going to change the soil structure.
I'm in central Ohio.
The last of our snow melted 7-10 days ago (not that there's no chance of getting more) and the garden itself is only average moist to wet for the season, though the usual soggy spots nearby are tricky to navigate (some day I'll put in a bunch of Petasites in the seasonal swampy area near the fence).
One of the worst temptations this time of year is to overdo it cleaning up weeds and dead plant matter in the borders, and uprooting still-dormant perennials. If you delay, though, the weeds get too much of a head start and it's more difficult later on to yank them without also disturbing the valuable plants.
For now I'll concentrate on getting the indoor garden in shape to handle the coming mini-horde of seedlings, rhizome and tuber starts.
You are way ahead of us, Rusty. I'd say we have another couple of weeks before all the snow is gone here. I'm not surprised, that it's only average moisture. Although we got a lot of snow this winter, it was very cold and the snow itself was light and fluffy with a lower moisture content.
You're right, there seems to be just a small window of perfect timing. Waiting for perennials to show some life and not waiting so long to make the clean up more difficult. I tried to do more clean up in the fall last year, to have less to do this spring. We'll see how that works out.
Here in South-central Kansas the Bermuda grass is greening up, the Russian Sage is starting to break bud, and the mums have been pushing up new growth since February. The low temp this week is going to be 61. I just spaded up a section of my yard on the north side of my house and then covered it with pine straw mulch in anticipation of planting some oakleaf hrdrangeas in early May. I probably could have waited a little longer, but I was getting very anxious to start digging in the yard. With me its like an itch I have to scratch. lol
sam, its the same here in central Oklahoma with the bermuda and the Russian Sage along with Salvia greggii, Ninebark, Lavender, Apache Plume, Rabbitbush, Artemisia, Missouri Primrose, Sedums and Hardy Rosemary & Euphorbia are blooming. I just trimmed the last of the big ornamental grasses --switchgrass--because they are all leafing out at the base, its been a mammoth job so I do it in stages because of disposal. I've been at this grass trimming since early Feb. The last two big overstuffed trash containers will be on the curb this Tuesday, I think winter cleanup is now done.
I've been weeding, trimming and cleaning since January off and on so its under control and I did a lot of thinning annuals this weekend. The place is now clean, definitely greening up & looks like spring with all the old winter stuff cut back. We've been pretty dry but finally got some moisture last week, add that to the warm temperatures in the forecast and its going to start coming along quick. The garden centers we drove past looked like they were doing a booming business. We were tempted to run the AC indoors today and are running it in the car already because it gets hot by afternoon. Inside the house today the thermostat got up to 76 without running anything.
Yes the Pompas Grass is sprouting from the base for me too. I cut mine back in January. And the sedums are really going to town here as well.
Hey, Texas, when do your lantanas start to sprout from the roots? My Sonset lantanas are still dormant. I'm hoping to see some signs of life by mid to late April though.
I've got 2 kinds of hardy lantana I started 2 years ago from cuttings I got around here. One is a robust low growing but wide solid orange bloom type (?) and I noticed yesterday its just showing signs at the base and the wild Ham and Eggs type is showing a bit. Miss Huff and that commonly sold yellow ground cover cultivar hardy type I purchased are both still dormant.
I also have two other bush types that I'm not sure what type they are that I started from local cuttings off old established plants but I haven't even checked those yet because they are along the west side where I haven't been able to clean out yet, I'm waiting for the neighbor to be at work all day because its 100 times easier to clean if I can hop over there and clean from his side, otherwise I get real scratched up and sore. One is a large bush type thats got solid yellow flowers and the other is maybe Carnival? The flowers are light yellow and deep pink.
Last year Miss Huff didn't survive winter. This year maybe? I've got 2 cuttings I wintered over indoors just in case.
Texas, when will you know for sure that your Miss Huff lantana has survived? Is there a certain date by which you determine it has not survived? For example, if your Miss Huff hasn't resprouted from the roots by May 1st do you consider it dead? I'm asking because I have Sonset Lantanas, like I mentioned earlier, and they are supposed to be similar to Miss Huff in hardiness. If these lantanas haven't returned for me by May 1st, I may consider them dead, but I don't want to dig them up prematurely either.
sam, I don't recall the date honestly, it was kind of late compared to many plants, I think it was around Easter. I'd trim yours to the ground but leave the roots alone and just wait to see. Mine are all cut way down to about 4".
I checked them closely today and cleaned out that west side yesterday. The base of the Miss Huff plants are very firm, the 'skin' or 'bark' is not peeling or rotting away like it does on the non hardy kinds, if you know what I mean, the stems are pliable rather than just snapping into pieces easily. They look quite good and I'm going to be very surprised if they didn't make it. That unknown orange type I mentioned has green in the stems at the base of the plants with growth starting up on the stems themselves rather than just the base, if you scratch through the skin its green underneath going up about 6". I wish I knew the type, its a very nice plant and the heaviest bloomer I have. It must have a lot of 'Horrida' in its genetics but its a much smaller, prettier and finer plant, however its got some real thorns on the stems exactly like L. 'horrida'. I grew L. horrida from seed last year so I know. Gloves are a requirement.
I'll report back when the Miss Huffs start up, that is, if they do. Looks good so far.
I'm zone 7, what zone are you?
I'm in zone 6b. The bark on all my Sonset lantanas is peeling off to at least one inch above the ground, but I haven't cut them back at all so I don't know if there is any green in those stems down by the ground. If these lantanas don't return, then I will replace them with a combination of Russian Sage and Wirling Butterflies Gaura.
Well, I got all my paper work to my accountant and that means IT GARDEN TIME, Big Time. 80F , Turn over the green manure and Tomato and green bean time.. I have been hacking away at invasive this and invasive that. God it is tiring and ever ending. But I am seeing all sorts of penstemons breaking ground from TXrangers seeds that she sent down. I stopped at a nursery on the way back from town and picked up a Molly Iven's Salvia coccinea, 2 small 'ultra violet' salvia gregiis, and two winterfats, and a slew of other things like Euporbia myrosinthes, hardy(ish) echeverias. All I stopped fro was some bulk compost oops
My husband laughs at me because I am always squatting peering ever so intently at invisible tiny things in the dirt.
I cut my Sonset lantanas back to the ground last night. Only a couple of the main trunk stems had any green and I think that was because they were buried under 5 inches of leaves. The main stem of the plant isn't too wiggly though, so maybe that's a good sign. Only time will tell.

It is pouring again
penny1947(z6 WNY)June 4, 2011
I was trying to get the rest of my plants ready for the swap tomorrow and now it is pouring again. I thought we were only going to get a light shower today and then sunshine. Still keeping my fingers crossed that this won't last all day. Well I probably won't need to water anything!

I got my kegs delivered yesterday and after spending a lot of time cleaning and testing and sanitizing I was able to pour my first draft homebrew! I force carbonated it and poured myself a glass, I was thirsty. It was foamy and not as carbonated as it should be but it was only in the keg for a hour and I was shaking it before. It was cold though, I placed the carboy in the kegerator a day before. Now I'll just have to wait, but that first beer was a tasty brown winter ale with orange peel and cranberry.
I had a problem with one of my kegs though, there was a leak at the bottom of the gas in post. I had bubbles flowing from under the handle. Of course it was the best looking keg. I also had a gas disconnect that was deformed and looks like it will blow apart if I hook gas to it. I called the place where I got them and they are sending out another keg and a new disconnect on Monday. He said they usually don't warranty the used kegs but he'll send me a another anyway. Now if anyone is looking for kegs or anything else I gotta say give www.kegkits.com a try. They are in Huntsville AL and the shipping on 5 kegs was only $18 and my stuff got here the next day. The pin lock kegs were $19.50. After their great service I will surely purchase from them again.
The klop, klop of water under the bows of a small sailboat will cure most troubles in this world.
They don't happen to sell 5 gallon Sankes do they?

LinkedIn profile lists Addison as CEO, sole employee of Aberdeen Capital Holdings Inc.
Web security firm says 68 of 100 tech-savvy subjects followed links about new job alerts to potentially infected website.
Even people who know better fell victim to a social engineering test conducted by Trusteer, the company says.
Terrie Mavros, electronic marketing specialist at a New Hampshire credit union, found that a complaint on Facebook created an opportunity for some positive public relations.
Expansion into new areas like business services and new channels like P2P and mobile present new opportunities for credit unions and fraudsters alike.
Credit unions and social media seem to be made for each other, which is both a good thing and maybe not so much.
While it may be unclear if the two are connected, some financial advisers that use social media professionally are seeing higher revenue growth and larger client bases compared to advisers that do not use the network channels.
The very things that make social media so popular also make them a potential problem for credit unions, their members and those in charge of fighting fraud.
LAS VEGAS -- Fifth Third Bank's cool new ad campaign had gone viral, generating hundreds of thousands of views across the country by people amused by the antics of Kyle the clueless college kid.
Social media isn't just for kids anymore. It has become mainstream and we receive more questions about it from our advisers each year.

How? With a Universal Basic Income (UBI).
True, a UBI is undeserved good news for the idle surfer. But this good news is ethically indistinguishable from the undeserved luck that massively affects the present distribution of wealth, income, and leisure. Our race, gender, and citizenship, how educated and wealthy we are, how gifted in math and how fluent in English, how handsome and even how ambitious, are overwhelmingly a function of who our parents happened to be and of other equally arbitrary contingencies. Not even the most narcissistic self-made man could think that he fixed the parental dice in advance of entering this world. Such gifts of luck are unavoidable and, if they are fairly distributed, unobjectionable. A minimum condition for a fair distribution is that everyone should be guaranteed a modest share of these undeserved gifts. Nothing could achieve this more securely than a UBI. ….
Herbert A. Simon observes "that any causal analysis explaining why American GDP is about $25,000 per capita would show that at least 2/3 is due to the happy accident that the income recipient was born in the U.S." He adds, "I am not so naive as to believe that my 70% tax [required to fund a UBI of $8,000 p.a. with a flat tax] is politically viable in the United States at present, but looking toward the future, it is none too soon to find answers to the arguments of those who think they have a solid moral right to retain all the wealth they earn.'" See Simon's letter to the organizers of BIEN's seventh congress in Basic Income 28 (Spring 1998) [p. 8].
"Forum: A Basic Income for All", Boston Review, 1 October 2000. Philippe Van Parijs, "Opening the Debate".
Université catholique de Louvain professor Philippe Van Parijs (born 1951) is a left-libertarian Belgian philosopher and political economist.
The research of the brilliant Herbert Simon (1916 – 2001) spanned many fields (including psychology and computer science), even though his formal training was limited to political science (BA and PhD from the University of Chicago). In 1978 he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics "for his pioneering research into the decision-making process within economic organizations".
Past BIEN congress papers – and much more – can be downloaded from the home page of the Basic Income Earth Network.
I shamelessly take this opportunity to point out that a universal age pension is a UBI, albeit one limited to those older than a specified, mature age.

Installment of My 365 Project:
January 10, 2011—LP going 'round on the turntable, symbolizing the Twin Peaks soundtrack we listened to with lunch and a damned fine cup of coffee on this cold, grey, perfectly Twin Peaksy day. Actual soundtrack is a CD. Pictured record is The Golddiggers "We Need A Little Christmas." Seriously. Was the last thing we were listening to on the turntable. That's how Christmas music should be.

Woman sues Crookston diocese
CROOKSTON - A woman sued the Catholic Diocese of Crookston on Thursday for more than $50,000, alleging that in 2004, when she was 15, her parish priest in Greenbush, the Rev. Joseph Jeyapaul, sexually abused her.
It's an unusual case because the alleged abuse by the priest is said to have happened relatively recently and because Jeyapaul apparently fled the country in 2005.
Most cases that came to light in recent years involved abuse dating back 25 to 50 years.

Art Imitates Life In Same-Sex Superhero Wedding
By editor
It's wedding season for couples around the country, including superheroes. Marvel Comics, the group behind Spider-man, X-Men and the Avengers, recently released a comic featuring its first same-sex superhero wedding. Host Michel Martin discusses the intersection between the Marvel universe and politics with Marvel's editor-in-chief, Axel Alonso.
