    Bob, I don't honestly know whether the data was corrupted. All I know is that he moved to another server, and I suspect it became necessary to use a dedicated server. The site went offline for an hour or two, and then when he brought it back up, all the content was gone. Ron had worked...

    Ron, I am not sure that we needed to call it quits the first time. But over the course of the past year, we've had so many site outages or crashes, and lost data, got it back and so on.......This time, I honestly don't know. It looks like the only remaining stuff there is from the end of 2007.

    Ron, I guess I'm just going to have to bug you here to get you to post thousands of those gorgeous gazania pictures. What are we drinking for that toast? Gloria, do you have any moonshine you can share with us?

    Welcome from the GardenForums Staff

    Dasiemae, Epsom salts aren't the same thing as regular salt. Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate. It's a mineral. For elephant ears and cannas, using it more liberally and more often seems to make them real happy. I also use it on my hibiscus, Rose of Sharon and several other things. If you want...

    Wes, I was completely serious about needing a stiff drink -- even if it is early in the morning. I guess I'll have to settle for some very strong French Roast coffee. Bob, the biggest issue at GH was the instability of the site and the continual loss of content. I don't mean a little bit of...

    I think Dasiemae is adorable! I have some elephant ears, too. Come spring, they go wild. Mine are not plain green, but they have some black or purple in them. If you want yours to get real big and healthy like your mom's, give them some Epsom salts about every two weeks. Feed them about 1/2...

    What have you bought or ordered this year so far?

    I lucked out big time today. I was at the grocery store and they had some spectacular bromeliads there. They had knocked the price down to $3.99 from $8.99, so I looked through the collection and found a beautiful specimen that has two pups starting to form, and the flower is a big beautiful red...

    Oma, you're in good company! Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or whatever, and join in! Come to think of it, maybe we need a stiff drink to deal with all those frustrations! Welcome aboard!

    Kitchen Tips

    Used fabric softener sheets are GREAT for other purposes, too. Use a used dryer sheet to clean the screen on your computer or the screen on your television. Use used fabric softener sheets to clean the leaves of your plants. By this time, any chemical is gone and all you are using is the...

    Bathroom Cleaners

    Funny you should say that Dawn. Just last week, I was looking at a product in the grocery store that's supposedly "pharmacist recommended," and it's called "After Bite." When I looked at the active ingredients in the roll on bottle, it was just what I thought would be there: 100% ammonia -- and...

    Bathroom Cleaners

    I keep a sponge and a bottle of cheap Suave shampoo in my bathroom, and whenever I'm in the shower, I use it to clean the shower walls and the tub. The bottle costs less than $2.00 and will last for several years. That way, I never have a problem with soap scum build up and I never have to take...

    Recipe Thrifty Tips to Stretch Your Food Dollars

    I always use coupons. My local grocery store has their own coupons as well. I try to check the sales before I go to the store. That way I can tailor the menus I plan according to what's on sale. Since there are only two of us, I will still buy bulk packs of meat, especially when the things are...

    HUGE Black Caterpillar, what is it????

    YIKES! If I am not mistaken, if that moth or caterpillar lays eggs on a tobacco leaf, or comes into contact with a tobacco leaf and then goes after a tomato plant, it's possible that the worm could transmit the tobacco mosaic virus to the tomato. It would have to come in contact with a type of...

    Recipe Marinades for Grilling

    Debe, as far as I am concerned, anything with ginger in it tastes great! It's wonderful for the digestive system too! I even eat the pickled ginger that is used with Sushi! I love Sushi, too, but I'm not too keen on some of the raw fish....eating raw fish can be very dangerous, especially if you...

    Recipe Marinades for Grilling

    Ginger oil? That's a new one on me! Do you make it yourself or buy it that way? I adore ginger. Debe, that marinade you just posted sounds spectacular!

I don't mind being up high -- as long as I don't have to look down, and as long as someone holds on to me for dear life!!!!!!!!! Do...
