clueless Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nice to hear he looked for you. Quite a few years ago I was parked on the Main St in the small town my parents live in. I walked into the post office and by the time I had walked out my driver side mirror was in the middle of the street. No one around that saw anything. I was surprised. Really surprised. Thank goodness. Purcellville is a small town with nice people. The car keeps me sane. Just put money into it and I am looking forward to warmth to remove that top. For me that would be 50 degrees...

mattie g Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You grow pumpkins at all? I tried growing one last year but I started too late and he got powdery mildew fungus.... I did manage to get one small pumpkin out of him though. What sucked was I finally got him starting to produce what would've probably been several good pumpkins, then the first cold snap of November came. This year I'm going to try growing several instead of just one... my hill out back will look like a little pumpkin patch! I had a volunteer pumpkin two summers ago. I originally thought it was a cucumber, but within a couple weeks I knew it was something different. It must have been a viable seed from the pumpkins I put in my compost bin that prior fall. The thing took over my whole fence, and I ended up with two good pumpkins (one of the green varieties). The problem was that it took up most of my cucumber space and it also attracted cucumber beetles - it was able to withstand them, but they ravaged the cucumbers. It got a little powdery mildew, but overall it was a really healthy plant. I don't have enough space to grow them on purpose, as well as other things, so I have to depend on store-bought pumpkins in the fall. If you're looking to grow them, I'd suggest sowing a couple seeds every few feet sometime in April, and then thin them out once they start vining. And then keep them very well watered - they drink a ton! As long as we don't get early frosts, they should be ready to go by Halloween. Good luck!

mattie g Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nice! Sounds like you've got a really good garden going. If you have the space and enjoy them, I recommend adding green beans to that...they are so easy to grow and you get a great yield. We have a patio with flower beds (black-eyed susans, annuals, and a hydragena) but no vegetables. When we sell this place eventually and move into a SF home with a backyard, I plan on really getting back into growing vegetables. Growing up I always had a pretty sizeable garden that I helped my dad maintain. Oh, I do green beans, too. And peas. . Actually, I often have too many green beans when all is said and done! Nice. You work with what you've got, so if you're space-limited, then you can only plan for the time when you have the room. In the meantime, you might be able to grow herbs in small pots - at least you can use some hkme-grown stuff in your cooking. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 So who ya got in the SB? I am going 26-20 SEA. I think their secondary is too talented and physical, and their D-line will do enough to make Brady feel uncomfortable. Wilson will play a relatively mistake free game, and make the plays he needs to, and M Lynch will run for 150 and win the MVP...and say nothing during the post game interview. Marshawn Lynch, you just won the Superbowl, what are you going to do next? crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm debating starting to root for 70F and sunny. I am pretty much there. Frozen brown is kinda ugly. And now more rain on top of frozen ground again...look forward to more ponding of water. Hopefully this time temps warm rapidly into the low 40s instead of hovering at 33.

CAPE Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Really neat to go from a low of 20 tonight to 14 Monday night, with heavy rain in between. How many times have I seen that this winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'd be there already but I'm holding onto a little snow pack still. Not much longer though. Do people around here track that stuff? We don't really track it as much as those of us warm lovers simply root for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm debating starting to root for 70F and sunny.Unfortunately we have months of cold/dry Warm/wet then a month of 55 and fog/drizzle before we see any real warmth. I love cold/winter, but I'm even starting to get sick of the horrible winter. Meaningless cold is getting boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have no more ****s to give. Meltdown? Unhinged? Yup, and it's great. I'm in the process of trying to buy a house and as stressful as it is....all these papers and offers, counteroffers, this, that...it's now a great distraction. I don't care anymore. It aint reverse psychology, it just is what it is. I'm free and have no vested interest anymore after tomorrow's kick in the nuts. Sure, I'll sign on and if something looks like it's going to hit 24 hours before, of course I'm gonna be excited...but 4 days out? 3? 2? I swear on my kid's life, I've not checked a single model since yesterday at 18z. I need to take a break too, because I'm getting way to snippy with interlopers. <end rant> I hope your new house gets more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
