Wow Jen! She must be very proud! Go Hannah!

Thanks. I'm a professional too... sort of... just darkroom trained as opposed to digital and I don't do it for a living except for the occasional wedding when word gets out. They didn't have digital cameras when I was in art school. Nor did they have computers so typography was all done by hand, penciled, outlined and inked in - back when we used our HANDS! -_-


We had some mist coming from down the street but that just doesn't sound or look as "romantic".

Yeah, memories of HS in the 70's and the darkroom teaching the underclass girls how to load B/W cans with 35mm film, lol! Of course we didn't say LOL back then either. My color darkroom is crated and in my the attic of a garage. I thought about seeling it all off but being a packrat... Digital makes it sooo easy. I have a full time pro photag friend that makes less money now because of digital. Everybody does it. I still have all my film cameras on display. Nice pics too! Send the rain my way.

Anyone have any carboys, or demijohns they want to sell? My 6 gallon carboy is full of tart cherry wine and I'm getting ready to shake the mulberry tree, then strawberry, blackberry, and apple. That should get me throught the winter. I'm going to make rhubarb too but that one might be, hmm, different.

I'm looking for glass ones in good shape. Thanks!

Nova sent you a PM.

So my fellow Michiganders with broody hen experience, would you try to give chicks to a broody who pecked at the chicks you tried to put under her 3 weeks ago? Or would you try the OTHER, equally bad-tempered broody first? I'd rather not have 12 chicks in my basement, and it's definitely warm enough for them to be outside. I don't have my lovely silkie mama anymore, or this wouldn't even be a question.

No idea if this is what you're looking for or not, but there have been glass cider jugs on CL for awhile up here. http://nmi.craigslist.org/grd/3889408895.html

oh i bet strawberry would go good with that rhubarb.. make a tasty wine..


Jen you must be so proud of Hanna.. Congratulations

scifisarah Its got to be soil or locations.. is there anyway you could transplant it.. make a whole where you want it to be.. and fill with composted manure. and some bone meal. and transplant it.. the thing is is if a plant has been stressed before planting it may not grow big lush like you want it to.. so if you buy another plant that should of been planted a month ago.. may do the same thing.
good luck.. oh and make some compost tea.. that always works for me.

That is what I thought, but after reading the "Height: 9 inches" I came to the conclusion that I had mistakenly bought a plant that was supposed to go in a hanging planter, where you don't want it growing straight up, but rather way out and down. I think genetics will keep it from growing any higher. Next time I will pay more attention when I buy my plants.
