i spray it and it helps. Have to do it again after a rain ...the bugs stick to it and die. It remains sticky on the leaves but doesn't harm the plant.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kabu
I don't cut my flowers. The Shasta daisies would be fine for cut flowers...the peonies as well....but of course the day Lillies last a day. Tee Hee. No I don't cut flowers and I grow them for Summer color and for the birds and the bees. I grow pansies and violas. Impatiens, Queen Anne lace which also grows wild here and dies in an hour if picked..
cosmos I suppose you could pick them but it would be sad for they looks so pretty ...other daisies red and yellow and white...and black eyes susan but they prefer the outdoors on the plant... Then I grow petunias and leafy things and fern stuff and geraniums....honey suckle and trees.

Re: Re: Re: Kabu
Yes but are they suitable for cut flowers? Have you any Cone flowers? I must have names.

Re: Re: Kabu
Hairy stems makes me think of a lady with hairy legs.....No most of the perennials I have are clean stemmed and anything hairy is probably a nasty creeper with poison leaves. My big problem is the bugs but Coca Cola is a help definitely.

Re: A weed is anything growing where you don't want it.
I suppose once they were all weeds Pat and then someone planted one outside the cave.
Um. um, mine, pretty. Well perhaps she just pointed at the weed with her club and the old fellow grunted.

A weed is anything growing where you don't want it.
So the fuzzy flowering whatevers are weeds to you. Your domain. Your rules. ☺

Re: You try so hard to make people gruntled, but
I know Ciel I try to make the poems more coherent. I do find a lot of books on Kindle just do not hold ones interest, A good book can be read again with pleasure. I await yours with relish.

Re:Jimmy
That is really good thinking Jimmy sometimes I just drag it across . I must have touched some key because it did not do it previously.
Thank you.

White carpets? Boy, he's really taking chances, isn't he? And no, I think that man could have provided his son with just a little more information. Perhaps he just didn't know himself!
And hey, I think I may have some good news for you! Remember you're frequent lament about the emoticons always appearing at the beginning of your comments instead of at the end? Well, I was on the Blog-it website the other day using a friend's lap top, and it was doing the exact same thing to me ( it never does that on my home computer ). But, I found a way to resolve it! If you can formulate what you're going to say first, and already imagine the emoticon you'd like to use, put the emoticon up first! Then, place the cursor in front of it, and write your comment! It will work itself to the end! Try it . . .

You try so hard to make people gruntled, but
no writer has to make everyone happy. Personally, I enjoy very much that your postings about your life and your garden and your friends are more than a few words. I feel like I really get my pennies' worth! Your poems--I don't always get what you are saying, but as I said when I first began reading them, it's always like a wander through a magical garden, and I like the flowers even when I don't know their names.

Re: Naut
Well he is not nervous about staying at his house Naut, I think he cannot be bothered to walk back up to his house and it is the old family home. He gets up at 5 a.m and switches my light on. Actually he likes my tele because he paid for half of it as I said I was not going to buy another. We can get all the old films from Amazon, but I have just canceled one provider.Arthur wants me to join B.T our Broadband provider.
I said no I am not joining another and then I thought yesterday we are in a ropey
Health Insurance. I said if he paid that I would join B.T. It is not the money it is the up-man-ship .

Re: Kabu
O.K. we agree on something. I would love to get in amongst those sunflowers with my new slasher. Well most of the poems I rewrite as some are vague perhaps as the general view is alternate days. Have your perennials got hairy stems?

Re: Taps
I had never seen a tool like it before. Thank you perhaps I will put the poetry back on the poetry page. I do hope a couple of the flowers grow.

What a fun post. I loved the way you pulled up the flowers and then later planted them again. LOL. My dad had an implement similar to that in his tool shed, but I don't remember seeing him use it. He prefered his hoe to just about everything he did.
Please don't stop posting your poetry somewhere. I would miss it.

I loved the way this was written. I don't mind reading two posts at all. I love the daisy. I can remember what that tool is called but my dad had one and sharpened it very sharp and it will make waste of anything in its path quickly. Not dangerous if one uses it with common sense. I loved this post. I do like your poetry but I do like them better separate.

Love the daisy and that tool looks kinda dangerous.
I would be grumpy too if my sister kept her house immaculate because she lived in my house and messed that up all the time. Easy to have a place with nothing out of its place if you live somewhere else.
I missed not getting a poem.

That implement looks dangerous - lethal, even, LOL...And being near-illiterate when it comes to flora, I might have given my son the same answer that guy did! But my kids never did ask me about flowers - they probably realized I knew nohing about them...
What puzzles me is why Arthur would keep his place neat and your place untidy; what puzzles me even more is that he has a room at your place rather than dwell at his own house, unless it's for the company, of course...
