Jungle Growth

Category: gardening from scratch | Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2009 2:11 am

I went with mom the first time we got new plants and she was telling me about this new planting soil called Jungle Growth.

When I used it to put the new plants in the grow, it was awesome!!! The shock of the transplant was cut down to about 1 day....2 at the most.

The roses loved it...big and small..all the vines and bulbs are just taking off. My whole yard is already looking great.

Yall have GOT to try this stuff. Its go everyting in it, from growth hormones to plant feed in it, mom said. After seeing what it does, I so beleive her.

NEW PLANTS!!!!!

Category: gardening from scratch | Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 2:26 am

Im so happy. For the last 2 mornings, Ive been getting up at 630am til 1030 am (til its too hot) and planting my lil heart out.

Mom and I went to the different plant places and she bought all the plants and flowers I picked out. We spent hours just looking and looking. I was in heaven.

Ill try to remember all the plants we got...Im sure Ill miss some.

To start off we picked out 4 roses. FREAK YAY!!! (does happy dance)
A beautiful Love rose. Its hot pink with a lil white at the center AND IT SMELLS LIKE HEAVEN.
A heirloom soft yellow rose (didnt have a name on it) and smells like rose heaven.
2 climbers
America climber and a Jacobs Coat.

We got 2 small Bougainvillea. A hot pink and orange and I planted them together. Ive never seen the orange one before and am thinking about trying to grow one from a cutting. Ill get back to you on that.

We got Surdiva Scaevola
4 beautiful coleus
Gardena (think I spelled that right)
3 Mex Petunias (well contained)
6 Moss roses
a Black Knight and Purple Emperor butterfly bush
Wondering Jew
and about 10 other plants I dont remember the names of.

YAY!

The last 3 yrs

Category: just life | Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 2:45 am

Well the last time I had been on here was Dec 06. I had found out Rob had carried on with another woman so I kicked him out and started the divorce. I moved and had to give away all my plants and roses :( I miss gardening. Its my passion...well it was my 2nd passion. The first was my painting. I havent been able to paint or plant since I kicked him out and moved. Still cant paint (some kind of painters block.)

BUT I GET TO PLANT!!! YAY

Anywho, 2 yrs ago, I meet an amazing man. I didnt mean to get into another relationship...but he somehow got me. Weve been together 2 years now. Hes in OK at the moment for training. Hes Army and has been in for almost 20 yrs. Hes getting ready to redeploy sometime this year. We will know in July when hes leaving. But this time its for 2 yrs. So hes there and I just moved to FL to be with my family during this one. The last one was harsh...I was all alone.

My divorce from Rob was never completed. He died April 1, 08, by his own actions. DUI and not wearing a seat belt. It had no affect on me what so ever when he died. Saved that I was kicked a tree and made the comment, just like him to die AFTER I paid 1400. for a lawyer. LOL

But now, Im back in school and just living.

I missed you all and thought about yall often. How is so and so doing? Hows that grandbaby? Hows that new rose or tree or whatever? LOL

Im back cuz I got a huge front yard and back yard just waiting for me to dig in :D
