Nibbs XXVIII (Page 32)

FYI-I learned a while back that plants that are lit at night have a much more difficult time preparing for winter.  The artificial light overides the daylength change and the hormone changes are not triggered.  Not as relevant for you, but my parents new house has a couple of spotlights on the front that light the entire cul-de-sac...and the front yard.  I need to swap them for motion sensitive lights-which means more time in the attic... I am so thrilled.

Are there pictures?? I always found fish ponds fascinating!

Technically yes, but most people don't look favorably on you taking cuttings from their plants.

You wouldn't even need to graft it-many plants can develop roots from their undeveloped buds(but don't quote me on that). 

Hey there  

I am planning on getting some pics from the garden I visited-but I need to ask around(I forgot my camera...again) 

Alright Nibblets-I need to head out.  Lots to do and not much time to do it in. 

'see' you around 

Yup get the cuttings, put it in water for a bit to keep them happy and then you can get cutting mix stuff to add to the water and transfer them to a small amout of soil (old milk cartons are great) or mix or Ive seen it done with cotton wool (but Im not sure what you put on the cotton apart from water) and they start to develop roots

When they get strong you can replant them and off they go!  Of course you remove most of the leaves initially so they dont suffer from too much water loss...

oh-

something frightening is happening to me-I am actually enjoying running.  

Terrifying - dont say it too loud

Oh... I missed Kendra  

Hi Emily! Hows yoru day going?

I had a frustrating start to the day but some music, caffeine, and chocolate have smoothed the rough edges.  How you doing?

Looking forward to a day off working out tomorrow... and catching up on some sleep over the weekend.. 

I love weekends just because I know I'll be able to take a nap.  I *heart* a good nap.

Me too - wish i could kick out the flat mate for a weekend... that woud be sooo relaxing!!! 

Im just really run down - there have been some colds/flus going around the office and I wonder if Ive picked up the edge of one which is why Im feeling a bit icky but not sick as such. 

Id like a low stress, low hassles weekend!  

I had to use the computer lab on campus today.  I sat down and could hear all these people sniffling and coughing.  I looked at the keyboard and mouse and almost didn't want to use them.  I am not a germaphobe, but I could practically see the piles of germs on those things.  Ick.  Cold and flu season is no fun.   

Hi, Kendra!

Im ab it like that... not that Im a germaphobe i guess - but I really really need to NOT get sick because with my stomach condition anything that causes my immune system to ramp up and fight something seems to get my tummy playing up... 

No fun! 

Hi Kendra!
