thank you for the kind words & added prayers. I'm sorry about your Great Uncle... I bet heaven is just that ~ one beautiful place!!

There may not be too many of us Northern folk... that's ok... easier remembering names..lol !! GREAT seeing everyone!!

On another note -- did you see Dave added Horse Micro Badge?!?!?!

Now I have to figure out which other icon to remove!!! Cant get them all to display!!!

that is a cute badge... tough choices indeed!

I wish we could search members on Country. State, zone...to gather more peeps..... doesn't appear that we can though. Dave????

I was thinking the same thing!!! Maybe Dave can send out a mass tree-mail for us??

Yep...what the best way to get a note to him directly do you think?

ok - how does everyone get those neat badges next to their location, etc???
I think you have to tree-mail Dave, cuz he doesn't have time to monitor All these threads

I'm still here AND I have my Michigan badge

Susan - go into your profile (button at top) and then look for manage micro badges -- then you can add whatever you like!!!

So glad to see everyone! Sorry, but have the fair going on here, so won't have much time to drop in and visit for a few days. It's my niece's last year in 4H and FFA, as she starts college in a couple of weeks, so definately have to be there to show support and help out!

Hey all,. Just thought I'd check this out. In Wisconsin so guess that definitely puts me in the Northern all though it is Southeastern WI.

Christine - had to follow your instructions above and I think I have the badges too. Wondered where everyone was getting those. Thanks for the tip................

Woohoo!!!!

Welcome to the fun group!!!!!

g'morning, Cherie. and welcome!!

Welcome Cherie.

Hi Cece!

Hi Cece

Welcome! Hope some of you can help me with this. I have a trumpet vine, first time putting on buds this year, and for some reason, the buds form real well, and then when it's about to flower and the buds open, they break off, or fall off, or are chewed off or something. Has anyone with these experienced this? Any idea what the cause could be? I haven't noticed any bugs on it, really, but I've been busy with work and such, and haven't spent the time in the garden that I usually do. I don't think that it's deer or anything similar to that, as the flower parts are easily visible on the ground.

Could be either over/under watering, or a cold snap...... You need to keep them evenly moist and they can stand 1 or 2 days dry, but no longer.
I have a Mandevilla (is that the kind you're talking about?) and it needs watering 3x a week - thoroughly.... I have 3 new buds on it (previously only 1 flower, but I planted it late, so it's recovered now).
You woudn't be talking about a Morning Glory, would you?
There are so many types of "trumpet vines" I think.....

hi'yawl ...jest droppin' by to sees 'ya.... bizzy t'day tho'. Welcome Cece!... sent cha' a'corn.

Hi Jamie! Glad you dropped in!
