Teema: Spring is here

Yesterday was so beautiful. We had clear bright blues skys with not a cloud in sight. Warm air with an almost tropical breeze blowing. Spring is finally here in good old Virginia. All the trees have buds and the grass is getting greener each day. Its looking like today will be just like it.

Teema: Re: Spring is here

spicieangel: Oh i'm jealous were in the high 40's right now.Trees are budding and my lilacs have buds.We can still get snow flurries yet until the end of April.At least the snow is gone and we got some yard work done.

Has anyone started any planting yet? My Spring flowers are coming up finally.

Foxy Lady: I have foxy but unlike you I'm planting the last of my vegies etc before winter. Broad beans will be the last with my bulbs for next spring. Enjoy your fine weather.

nobleheart: Wow! *wonders if that is my first hubby's house* My daughters said he had a 20 thousand dollar tree he got from the rain forest to put in his foyer.. yet, he complained having to part with 350.00 a month for two children for childsupport.. go figure..

Teema: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

nobleheart: are you sure that is the Tassie tree fern? its trunk is a bit thin...
have a look at this site...it is fairly comprehensive and you will see what I mean about the trunks.

9. aprill 2005, 04:00:08

Teema: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

BerniceC: yes,it was a tas tree fern.maybe it was a little thin because it was raised indoors.

9. aprill 2005, 04:19:55

Teema: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

nobleheart: Being raised indoors does make trees,ferns etc have a whole new look.I'm raising a banana tree indoors from Fla, and it will probably never reach six ft.

9. aprill 2005, 12:45:21

Teema: Re: I would love to get some spores for the tasmanian tree fern

Foxy Lady: ah the joys of the southern hemi, I,m growing my banana out side it gets to 8 foot then the frost knocks it back every year. I dream of the frost free year then I might get bananas lol

skipinnz: we have just finished the Biggest bunch of Bananas we have ever had....we had to give most of them away in fact because as one ripens so do all the rest :(
Yesterday i made banana bread and Banana Jam...Ive never heard of Banana Jam before and Im not to sure if I like it....But my partner says it is alright so looks as tho he gets to eat it lOLOL

BerniceC: Banana Jam.. ?? I haven't heard of it either.. sounds interesting.. is it like mushed bananas?

10. aprill 2005, 07:51:10

Bernice toimetatud (10. aprill 2005, 07:52:00)
