I'm really curious to hear what folks in other countries grow in their home flower and veggie gardens. We live in the Midwest, in the States, and here's what we'll have:
Loads of tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, and other bulbs my girls planted with me in the fall.
We'll plant zinnias, cosmos, morning glories, roses, along with butterfly bushes, stargazer lillies, daylillies, lilacs, mulberry bushes, and tons of other flowers.
Our veg garden will have loads of tomatoes, Indian corn (the girls love the colors), cucumbers, and some herbs. We have deer, rabbits, and bunnies, so lots of other veggies get nibbled down. :)
I was wondering what you all grow? How big are your yards? Ours is .78 acre which is 2,608 square meters . We usually start planting our spring gardens around Mother's Day in mid-May - is it the same for you?
Thanks so much! I can't wait to get the Spring Gardens going and have always wondered what gardeners in other countries plant.
Hello Irish Friends across the Great Blue! What do you plan on growing in your gardens this Spring?
I've already got tons of flowers out there, so I am doing some vegies this year.
Reply:I planted a bunch of Guinness cans this winter, so I cant wait to find out what I will get!

I didn't get any answers the first time I asked and still need computer tech help..please..pretty please?
could you help a non computer person with a problem..please..I was messing with my pictures for desktop.?
I went to view (arrange icons by name) and was changing a few names so I could organzie them into categories, %26amp; they would be grouped together (like flower-zinnias, flowers,-lilies, cartoons-popeye.,etc
The problem is now I notice some pictures have the wrong picture..For example, a picture of mickey mouse, a name of a flower, %26amp; a picture of a flower.
No idea what happened to mickey- the picture on the icon that when I set to desktop instead is a flower.
Mickey is there twice--once on the right desktop picture (after I click that option) %26amp; once on the wrong desktop picture when I click it shows a flower instead.
I tried copying %26amp; I get the right picture a%26amp; icon and desktop but when I try to rename it so it doesn't say copy (in order to group it with the other flowers..it let's me change the name, but also changes it back to mickey picture.
Hope that's understandable.I want them all to be right pictures, icons, and desktop but with no files that say the words copy of on em

This is hard to follow. By "pictures for desktop" I guess you mean desktop backgrounds, aka wallpaper. I don't know what you mean by icon, unless you mean the view options in the window where you keep the image files?
In any case, when copying, you can avoid "copy of" by right clicking the file and choosing Copy, then going to a place different from the place the file to be copied is located, and rightclicking a blank space there and choosing Paste. Renaming is easy enough.
So if your image files are in a folder, then take the files that have the wrong thumbnail image out of the folder and put them into another folder, by right clicking on them and choosing Cut, then rightclick on an empty space in the new folder and choose paste.
Then all your odd behaving image files will be together. Then restart your computer, to make Windows release whatever it is holding onto, if that is in fact the problem [it happens]. Then go back to the problem files and see what has happened, and if they are the same [wrong picture in the thumbnail view], then try this: go to My Computer, Local Disc C, rightclick that, choose Properties on the bottom, and when you get the dialog box, choose Tools, choose Check Now under Error checking, check the box that says automatically fix errors, and you will get a popup message that says you have to restart for this, so restart, and wait for the checkdisk to finish. When it finishes, Windows will start up and then go to the folder and see what has happened.
Don't forget that the desktop properties utility you get when you right click the desktop keeps a list of desktop backgrounds that have been used, and this renaming of files could have confused things there. You can set your desktop background just by double clicking an image file, like .jpg, and rightclicking the picture in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and choosing Set as desktop background.

Reply:If you have a system restore use it, go back before you made the changes to your computer.
Reply:I left you an answer on the first one. It is the same thing as the system restore answer you have here. I would not do anything until I tried that option first.
lol I do stuff like this all the time. I have a good friend in India who helps me when I screw up like this.
relax it can be fixed or it can be completely wiped away and start over. done that a lot of times.
Reply:your problem may be from any number of causes. i would recommend getting someone who knows computers to actually look at it. it may be something like you accidentally dragging it onto something else, or maybe the properties getting messed up, or even the original picture getting deleted.
that problem isnt something that you will be able to have us help you with here, as there are many questions that we would need to ask you about it. you're going to be needing to have a conversation, not just a single question and answer.

The Whipping by Robert Hayden? Help!?!?
Here is the poem:
The Whipping
The old woman across the way
is whipping the boy again
and shouting to the neighborhood
her goodness and his wrongs.
Wildly he crashes through elephant ears,
pleads in dusty zinnias,
while she in spite of crippling fat
pursues and corners him.
She strikes and strikes the shrilly circling
boy till the stick breaks
in her hand. His tears are rainy weather
to woundlike memories:
My head gripped in bony vise
of knees, the writhing struggle
to wrench free, the blows, the fear
worse than blows that hateful
Words could bring, the face that I
no longer knew or loved . . .
Well, it is over now, it is over,
and the boy sobs in his room,
And the woman leans muttering against
a tree, exhausted, purged--
avenged in part for lifelong hidings
she has had to bear.
What is the theme of this poem? What is the woman purged of at the end? Why does the speaker fail to mention what the boy has done wrong
The Whipping by Robert Hayden? Help!?!?
This has a lot of directions. Look beyond the words and get into the head of the woman....the homework is yours to do.

Reply:wow that sounds like a major mess. I don't know that much about computers myself, but with a mess like that, I think I would, if you have windows xp, go to the control panel and then go from there to system restore and restore it to a date before I did the stuff to the pictures. Maybe it will take it back the way it was and you can try again. only this time get the how to from the help section on the explorer task bar.
hope you get your zinnias away from under neath your popeyes. that could get real messy if Bluto shows up. yep.

Pie chart question?
Suppose a garden plot contains 5 zinnias, 10 irises, 11 marigolds, 15 hollyhocks, and 23 lilies. If you
were to make a pie chart of the flowers in the plot, What would be the central angle for each?
(Example, 38 degrees-Hollyhocks, 76 degrees-Lilies and so on..)
Pie chart question?
The total number of flowers is
5 + 10 + 11 + 15 + 23 = 64
The angle at the centre which represents 1 flower is 360/64 =
5.625 degrees.
I hope you can take it from there...

Why are my potted plants wilting?
I have some potted plants (2 patio tomato plants, 2 strawberry plants and a potted zinnia) on my patio ledge where they have plenty of direct sunlight. I can't figure out why they are wilting! I believe the strawberry/tomato plants may just need to have a bigger pot and bought some bigger ones today. If I don't put them on the ledge, there isn't a lot of sunlight. If anyone has any suggestions or can tell me what I'm doing wrong please let me know. I'm still new to this gardening thing! Thanks for your help!
Why are my potted plants wilting?
because your not giving them soy sauce
Reply:The patio tomatoes will need at least 10" pot per plant
A larger pot 12-14" will give you more fruit.
use a good quality soil
(such as miracle grow with moisture additive)
temperatures need to be above 45 at night for zinnias ,
if the pots are clay, soak thoroughly
if plants are kept too wet they will also wilt
so be sure the soil is actually dry when you water
and all containers need to have drainage holes.
Reply:its your soil...give them good soil and holes in the bottom of the container then water everyday they will grow just fine...dont forget to fertilize.
Reply:Use five gallon buckets for pots, drive several holes in the bottom, put some gravel in the bottom where the holes are, and then fill the bucket to about three inches with good loose loam then watter frequently.You will be hard pressed to have a crop failure this way.

The plant seed packets should have all the information you need. It will show a map of the US and it is partitioned into planting zones. Find your zone on the map. The seed packtes tell you when to plant, when they start coming up through the ground after you've planted them and when they bloom.
