ty I am an amateur botanist..but still fungi ID is difficult even for pros at times

plaintiger: 5. Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten raw or in large quantities, since they are difficult to digest.

Would you class the ones in my yard as being wild??
they arent farmed....I bought mushroom compost and spread it around and as it still had spore in it when it rains now they grow...what i do with the first 1/2 dozen or so is break them up and spread them around the lawn again....keeps them going LOL

BerniceC: heehee...i'm sure i don't know, Lady! :D

i guess they're not exactly free-range, if that's what You mean...

plaintiger: hahahaha....well there wont be too many left later today as Im going to mow the lawns but after the next rain....hopefully LOLOL

BerniceC: heehee...just please be sure not to pick and eat any LBM's by accident!

plaintiger: hahaha....we have what we call "gold tops" they are very dangerous, but you would be surprised at the number of people that get poisoned by them....they look much like a real mushie, but have a gold tinge to the top.

BerniceC: nasty! good You know about 'em though!

Wow, I am beat. I spent 5 hours in the garden today, cleaning out the beds, adding some topsoil, pruning and preparing for planting. I can't wait for May 15!

ajtgirl: well I guess so!! LOL you are as bad as me and my mother.. we bought I don't know how many rose bushes about 2 weeks ago.. not waiting to plant them! LOL

We don't plant around here till the end of May.Were at a chilly 39 now.

We got a heat wave here in North Texas. S'psed to be in upper 80's today.

Foxy Lady: we usually don't put in veggies til about mid May.. but, I think we can do the rose bushes by the end of this week hopefully..

ScarletRose:
What kind of roses did you buy?
Scarlet you can probably plant roses if the ground is pliable and warm. Make sure they are sheltered by a wall or an arbor if you wish them to live. Roses grow very slowly, especially tea roses, and are extremely delicate. The PH and water has to be perfect. They are victims of fungus and bugs.

May I recommend: a CLEMATIS! In place of roses you'll get so much more beauty with way less effort.

* * * edited by plaintiger to add hyperlink * * *

ajtgirl: I just adore Clematis

Eriisa: 80 lordy were still running heat.

ScarletRose: I'm not having good luck with my rose bush at all.My peony bushes are peeking thru and my lilac are all budded.Even my daffys have bloomed but our nites are cold still.Its not safe here to plant veggies until after Memorial Day.Oh our garlic is up.

Foxy Lady: daffys. how cuuuute! =) (i've never heard them referred to that very cute way before. =)

hehe.. I live in dessert.. and actually.. roses do very well here in Wyoming.. so do Lilacs.. we don't often see much fungus.. maybe in the climates with more moisture..??

We bought all different kinds.. I know there is one Peace Rose for sure.. (my favorite).. next time I go to the garage I will write down all the types..

plaintiger: Because i forgot how to spell them

ScarletRose: wow - what dessert do You live in, Lady? lemon meringue pie?

sorry. chose not to resist.

Foxy Lady: well Your loss of memory is our gain.

plaintiger: hehe.. I didn't even notice! LOL I think coconut cream!

ScarletRose: mmmmm!

plaintiger:

You are one handy man to have around!
How do you link a web site to this message board?
Do you just type in the url?

ajtgirl: well thank You, Lady! :)

You *can* just type in the URL and it will turn into a link, but if you want to make a word or phrase into a link like i did with "CLEMATIS!", here's what You have to type. i'm going to put each part on a separate line because if i don't, it'll do its thing and You'll only be able to see the result and not how i got to it...but what you actually do is type all of this together, with no spaces except the one i indicate:

<

a

(this is where the space goes)

href=

" (that's double-quotes)

the URL You want to link to

" (that's more double-quotes)

>

the word or words You want to make into a hyperlink to Your URL


<

/

a

>

and that's it.

now You try! :)

(oh, and by the way, this looks all complicated, but if You memorize it and then use it often enough, You'll remember it. i don't know but a very few very basic things about HTML (and i have a lousy memory), but i manage to remember how to do this. :)

It didn't work, not because your information was faulty...I guess I am not allowed to send the url for AHRC anywhere.
But this is great news for me.
I'll try it again.

HappyEaster

I'll experiment more tomorrow, if you all don't mind.

At least I have the instructions saved!

Good night all!

ajtgirl: You're very welcome, Lady. i'm glad to be of service.

i don't know what's going wrong, but i see when i mouseover Your links that the URLs they're trying to go to all say "http://brainking.com/en/" where they should say "http://www."

so i don't know what's up with that... :/

good luck with it, Ma'am, and please let me know if i can be of any further assistance. :) and goodnight!

plaintiger: LOL my daffys are doing quite well.

Foxy Lady: lol! i'm delighted to hear it, Lady - both because it's good news and because it's so cuuuuuuuuute!!

plaintiger: lol i'm hitting the hay all my games are played cept 6,i had 64.......nite

Foxy Lady: wow - good job, Ma'am! You *deserve* some sleep after that!

'night!

ajtgirl: Greenhouse

best way to do this is to put *a href="*paste the Then">http://www.linktowhatyouwant.com*">Then what you want to call it</a*> and take out the stars.. so your link looks like this..
<*a href="*http://www.ahrc.org/*">Greenhouse</a
*> just take out all the stars..

ScarletRose: ooh - well done, Lady! thank You for giving another (and likely much clearer) explanation.  

Ms. ajtgirl, i tried to redo Your "happy easter" link like Ms. SR just redid Your Greenhouse link, but it just took me to a login page for an email service or something, so i un-redid it.

plaintiger: I get to this page.. when I play around with the addy..



Go ahead.. click on the rose! LOL The.. Scarlet Rose..

plaintiger: I just added the http:// to her link but, it brings me to the same page.. it must be a password protected site.. :)

Similar to this site.. it would be like linking a fellowship message board to someone who is not a paying member who also is not a member of the fellowship..

ScarletRose: yes, that's the page i get to too. what She wishes us to get to is likely somewhere behind that authentication page, as You say.

cute trick, making a smiley a link! i never thought of that! :)

At last were having some nice days,kiddies were out most of the day.Laci picked my daffys lol before i could grab her.

lookwhatigot

It worked!
TY Scarlet and PT

It is true however that I am itching all over. I went to the doctor this morning, got the shot and the pills and the ointment. I am so allergic it's a wonder that I am actually a gardener at all. I'll have it twice more before the summer is over.

Keep an eye out for the nasty stuff, everyone!

ajtgirl: I take it you mean the plant, not a horrible rash.

Foxy Lady: aww! :D did She pick *all* of them??

skipinnz:

No I have both! Poison ivy has grown in a certain section of my garden and we've had it killed last summer by experts. But it is so tenacious that it came back again this spring and even though I didn't see it, it saw me. I have the rash on my hands my thighs and my neck.
I think that the more you get it the worse it is every time. That's my homegrown theory, anyway.

ajtgirl: Sorry to hear that, can you get the experts who supposedly got rid of it to come back and try again?

skipinnz:

Immediately!

It's a tough plant to kill and they only gave me a one year guarantee.

ajtgirl: i'm glad the linking business helped, and sorry about the ivy!

ajtgirl:Good luck, I know how hard it is to just kill off normal Ivy.

ajtgirl: Good for you girlie girl!! OOOooOOPppSss not about the rash.. but the link!! yeehaw!
