I didn't know that.

Thanks for the pics, Jack.I've never had the patience to force bulbs, but
looks like it was worth it.
I should try it next year with tulips, as it's too warm here to grow them.

This thread is a really good idea Cal!

My sister googled 'Vegetable sheep' to show her husband that such a plant actually exists:

Good for anyone looking for a project to distract them and/or their kids. Enjoy!

A few funnies...

Lin, every time I see a picture of your goldens, I want to hug them too. I love goldens! Our last dog was a golden.

Jmorth, beautiful bulbs.

Worse part of those cuban tree frogs, except for the elimination of the green ones, is at night they jump on you and it just sends me.

I think that would freak me out, Pam.

Maybe not as bad as thinking your getting out the ice cream and find a carton of dead ones lol

How about finding a bag of Froggy Spinach?? Click to enlarge.

I don't know where it originated but the photo was going around the internet about 15 years ago.

Or finding one here...after you sit down!

I've heard that the invasive Cuban Tree Frog has been found as far north as Georgia. They likely wouldn't survive winters too far north but their numbers sure have grown throughout most of Florida over the past ten or so years!! It's so unfortunate that we can't get rid of them all because they eat our little native tree frogs as well as other critters.

Whoa! That's amazing! =O
I probably wouldn't sit on it, just because it would probably damage it, but that's
really very cool.

re: Cuban frogs.....that's creepy. We love our little tree frogs here, so hope we don't get
invaded.
We didn't have any frogs until ~7 yrs ago (I think) when they made a comeback, and
now it gets pretty loud when they all get together for a session.
I love it when I start to water a potted plant, and one will pop up, as if to say,
"Hey! Easy with the hose there, dingaling!"

Has anyone tried making this before?

There are lots more videos, too....each slightly different.

I'll have a lid to put on it in case of fire, and use a
splatter screen.

Doing it today.
