Blossoms for the whole summer, and not having to wait 120 days?-Morning Glorys?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I am planning to start my Morning Glorys from seed now vs buying plants in spring. I want to have them blooming early and all summer vs waiting until well into the summer months.

Last yr our deck was such a “happy place” due to the many various birds feeding, bathing, and I think maybe stopping by to visit!! All this was from the security felt due to the coverage the birds had and not having the deck as a wide open space.

My plant zone(s) is 4-5. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, is there any reason why this would not be successful? I plan on transpanting them to the container which they will be in all summer out on the deck, as well as the necessities for them to start climbing inside until it is safe to put them out re: frost. We keep our temp @ 68 in house but I will have grow lights for them.

I welcome any thoughts and ideas for this.

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

the problem i am having is that i am trying to find this one childrens book. i must have lost it moving or something. well in this book this girl and her younger sister are on this boat. on this boat there are tropical birds and plants i think she got some of her food from the plants and fished for the rest of her supper. i remember her feeding her younger sister and taking care of her. kinda like playing mommy. then this storm ends up hitting and she is trying to bring the boat out of it. i am pretty sure that the next thing you know she is back in her own bed at home. if anyone out there knows what book i am talking about please if you would help me. i remember reading it when i was little and now that i am going to have a little one of my own i would love to read it to him. any help would be great! thanks
i know that it is a little book, something you read to a young child

I’m so weird, I save all little things, such as insects, small birds that I feed with my mouth and I want to pick –up all street animals. My dream is, to live on a farm and have lots and lots of animals, pigs, ducks, horses, sheep, cows and chickens and much more! I have the greatest respect for plants! So weird! I even save ants…

Trying to identify the bird that ate my tomato’s?

Posted on September 7, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I live in New York City (Northern Manhattan) and I planted some tomato’s in a large flower pot and put it on my fire escape. They sprouted and were growing strong but one day I caught this group of black birds with yellowish dots and a yellowish pointy beak eating my crop. They have a nest inside an electrical box under the 1st floor fire escape (I live on the 2nd floor). They look like crows but just smaller and the sparrows and pigeons don’t even mess with them. What are these birds? Is anyone familiar with them. I’ve always seen them but never thought about what they are until they robbed me of my plants. On the internet the only birds that they look like are Grackles but they don’t have a purplish head.
YESSS!!! Its the the European Starling I just a pic of one. Thanks!!!

Posted on January 28, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I have two bird of paridise plants, that are 3 ft tall and I want to plant them outsite somewhere. Should I plant them in full sun or shade? They do better in shade because when I place them in full sun the leaves curl up. What about soil and feeding requirerment? I live in zone 8b
