Hi all I just joined. I love my plants and my family tolerates them well. lol. My children have plants of their own and are starting to learn different ways of propagation. We currently landscape with houseplants and do alot of shade gardening especially native wood plants. We have been working on ways to live greener then last year. One step at a time. My favs are hoyas, brugs, and philodendrons.

Hi there Sfishergirl,

Welcome to the funny farm :) I had brugs in Oregon (which I had sucessfully wintered over) but had to leave them as the movers wouldn't move live plants.

Welcome to the Wonderful Garden Forum where wonderful people Post!

Northern NY, never heard it called that *LOL I'm guessing that is UpState NY.
My Mom and her sister lives in Gloversville she was in Walton,my son lived in Syracuse(before his California journey to fame *lol) My younger brother and a few other family members live in Binghamton(sp?)

Are you from there?
I'm from Brooklyn and still miss the friends I had there.
I have not lived Upstate but went to visit family.
Im in MI now..long story..Hubby is from here and now I am.


How do you garden with houseplants in (zone 5-6)and what are brugs?
Im the curious one*lol
Hoyas indoor and out door? WOW! rather interesting ..Im No good at flowering houseplants I do not use fertilizers so maybe that is the reason for no blooms*Lol

Welcome ..Kale:)

If I can find it, I have a picture that DeeDee sent to me some months ago. Later she asked if I still had the photo. I think she may have deleted or lost what she had sent. I told her that I did have it, but I never got a response to that posting. Anyway, this is the photo and if DeeDee comes around, she can get her picture back. In the meantime, you get another shot of a brugmansia.

I have never been in a place where I could fish/catch northern pike. We do have walleye in the Columbia River system, but I wouldn't go out in that big river in my little boat. That's a fast running river.

Kale.
Western NY is Rochester and go west to the Niagara River. No one in the Buffalo/Niagara area would ever say they live in Upstate NY. Upstate to us is north of NYC up to like Albany and west to Syracuse. The area between Syracuse west to Rochester would be the Finger Lakes area. The area that runs along the bottom of the state Jamestown to Binghamton is the Southern Tier.
Lol, more than you wanted to know!:)

lol Remy you are right though I live north of of Albany/Syracuse area. As for fishing I wish I had a boat I only fish off shore. My favorite spot is at one of the local dams. I climb out of the rocks. I will go change my picture.
