Foxy Lady: r u joking?ants are cool,but they usually are not a big problem in the garden.do more good than harm.but if you really want to discourage them rather than murdererered them:

Turn ants away from your home by locating the place of entry and squeezing a lemon onto it. Then leave the peel. Ants will also retreat from lines of talcum powder, chalk, damp coffee grounds, bone meal, charcoal dust and cayenne pepper.

Q : What do you get when you cross a cheetah with french fries?

you might be an aunt someday

Lamby: LOL we also got slugs in the garden.
A good laugh is good for ya once in awhile.

nobleheart: I am a Ant=Aunt already.lol

I never seen so any bugs since my grapevine got really growing.


Hey Bernice where are ya?

reliant = an ant you can depend on
adamant = the 1st ant
debutant= a young ant
submergant = a skin diving ant

but I will take it to the joke board

me here LOLOL me here.

We have meat ants in Aussie...If you stand still long enough they will eat ya. TRUE....will look up a link for all

My advice is attract them to something else...put down a container and fill it with sugar....they will like that better than your grape vine let me tell ya :)

Darn....cant find anything that says they will eat you if you stand still long enough hehehehe....but they do have a nasty bite...so perhaps i could be wrong :(...OH well try the sugar filled container FOXY and good luck :)

BerniceC: I got the ants from putting down sweets to get the bugs away from the grapevine lol.Yes in Fla they have red fire ants and they hurt when they bite.A 2 yr old fell into an anthill a few years ago and they lost her do to the bites.

The buggies are gone,so are the slugs.lol.......My garden looks great.Yippieeeeee

Cindy is giving up her membership so i'd like to wish her luck.

I'd like another Mod on here so here's your chance.PM me and i'll give ya a try.

I've added Rose as co-mod.

Hi Rose!!!
with a name like Rose, you're a shoo-in for the Gardening board

.. hello also to everyone.. Hi baddessi.. good to see you tonight..

ScarletRose: hi- I need help- the house I moved into has lily garden on either side. They were planted years ago and neglected. those things are huge now. I wanted to just dig them out, but my husband seem to think they're great. So, being a beginner, I'm not sure what to do with them...My neighbor told me that they have to be dug up and seperated every year. Who knows about lillies- they are pretty, but they are out of control!!!!!

baddessi: what kind of lillies?(I know I'mnot Scarlet..just curious)

bwildman: I know you're not- I was saying hi back at scarlet-
Anyone who can help me with lillies is greatly appreciated. I'm kinda a beginning gardener. There are two kinds in my gardens. Day lillies and er.....the other kind? I'll try to find out what they are..I just know that no one has touched them in years and they are HUGE! I'm off to work now, but I'll find out what they are and let you know when I get back.Have a good day

baddessi: orange w/black stripes? those would be tiger lillies.
this fall you can dig them up and seperate the bulbs.share them with your friends and neighbors,and plant i the spring the ones you wish to keep.
you getting any rain down there? we are in a drought here.

When i added Rose as a Mod somehow i by accident changed it to pawns couldn't read or post.Sorry about that.

baddessi: Yes.. I would dig em up.. separate them.. and even replant the bulbs in fall.. Some wait till the Spring I suppose but, they start blooming earlier when they are preplanted.. :O) just whatever your preferences are..

sorry so long to answer.. I am here in the West so I am not online at 5 am as you all show to be.. Yawn.. hehehe my time that is! LOL

Thanks everyone...I'll dig them up and seperate them...the bulbs I've pulled out are HUGE- never seen anything so big- someone planted them and left them there unattended for at least 6-7 years.....I don't think they are tiger lillies- but those sound cool! I may have to get some of those...there's two kinds, both green, one set has really long green leaves, low to the ground, and the other ones (which I think are day lillies) are taller with leaves coming out of a tall stem...the flowers look about the same...and the flowers are huge too and bloom from the beginning of spring right through the end of the fall..they are pretty flowers, the beds just a mess- way overgrown...thanks for all the help everyone!
And hang in there Bwild....we had a long draught and it was finally broken..if you read your music page a week or so back, I had some good ideas for draught-breaking!!! LOL

*typos, typos, typos!!*

ScarletRose: Ok i have a question,when you dig up the bulbs do you dry them out, or put them in a cool place like the fridge?

Foxy Lady:I know I'm not rose, bulbs usually just put in with sawdust or woodshavings and kept in a cool place is usually good enough. Tulips are the only bulbs I've heard of being put into the fridge

skipinnz: Im not Rose either LOLOL....but you only put them in the fridge if you live in the tropics as I do :) it lets them think they are asleep and they will sprout as soon as you put them in the ground. NZ (not the alps where there is snow) could be either in the fridge or in dampened sawdust/woodshavings :)

Not necessary where it is cold weather/snow etc

Lamby: Thanks for the pics on day lilies. I planted 4 lily plants last year and only one set came up of tiger lilies. Imagine my surprise this summer when all 4 flowered and I have bright yellow one, peach coloured ones and bright reds along with the tigers.. I had no idea I bought a variety. They are gorgeous!

Rose: They are my favourite flowers! I love 'stargazer' lilies, their scent is wonderful! I usually have them in the house......beats any air freshener! :o)

lamby ty for the links re day lily pics I love them

nobleheart: Thats very interesting,where in the world do you find all this stuff you post?

I use as a search engine a customized version of copernic pro.
I can zero in on any boolean search idea fast.

I wonder where this was filmed?? can anyone tell me..???

I think it is Ireland

ScarletRose: Nice. It's hard to hear especially at the end so I'd suggest turning up the volume. Whereever it is, nice landscape. Car's nice too.

ScarletRose: I can't get it unless i transfer it to the PC.I'll have to wait till hubby comes in from work.

Foxy Lady: okay dear.. :)

ScarletRose: Here hold Laci for awhile .

Foxy Lady: Is her diaper on?? *Smiles and remembers her beautiful art work she had heard about the night before*

ScarletRose: It is right now lol........Boy it's been hot but cool at nite.

Anyone know whats with the little red box in the corner? That wasn't here yesterday.

ScarletRose: Yes thats on all the boards from i gather.

Foxy Lady: I have posted on Gen chat and also BK board and asked Fencer :)

Foxy Lady: the RSS box..mmm.rss is Short for RDF Site Summary or Rich Site Summary, an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information.
maybe they are planning one.

ScarletRose:
Could be Ireland or Wales, maybe even Scotland, some beautiful scenery in those places.

nobleheart: I clicked on it and it gives all the messages posted on each board.

nobleheart: Hey Purple has a Checkers Tourny for Pawns prize is a Membership join up.
