Boo, how do you and the others on this cubit feel about using 1/4 tsp. MiracleGro until my Urea-free 20-10-20.
Thanks, Lee

I have no idea because I've never used it. I'll look in the books. I fertilize every three weeks here so maybe you can wait to fertilize till it comes to be sure.

Jo, sorry I'm just getting back to you re: the reaction to the the orchid I sent Boo. Indeed, it is lovely but Boo, I think, could raise a dead orchid from the dead. Thumbs up

Boo, you still can make me laugh and what is more intimate than a good laugh.
I killed an Epi. a few months ago and told the friend with whom I was telling this that if I can kill an Epi., I just need to quit growing the 'blasted epiphytes.'. Lee Big Grin

Death doesn't seem to ever stop me. Perverse I guess. Hilarious!

I still have a hard time watching something that I have cared for die. I am a sap that way, I guess, BUT I will not let it stop me. Lee, Nice to hear from you. I miss some of the comments people make to me, as I only get on every 3 or 4 days and this is an ACTIVE group! Lee, you are not much older than I am. I know what you mean. I am just starting to look back and miss the carefree days of youth. I am especially feeling it as my daughter enters those years and tells me about her life. Of course, the real fun I have to fill in for myself, as I am sure that she does not tell me that. Anyhow, after a bit of reminiscing, I look around at all that I have in my life now and realize that it is really a series of trade offs, and I am finding a lot to enjoy in my 50's.

I'd never want to go back to my colorful past! Ouch. Being young is so painful. I worry about teens/young adults everyday in my job. :lol:
I love my life at 61! What a relief to understand about trade offs, etc!

I agree that I am happy where I am most days. I would just like my eyesight and joints back. Maybe not 20/20 because I do not want to see all the wrinkles, but this not being able to read fine print gets to be annoying!

As they say, getting old is not for sissies. Thank goodness for ibuprophen. We will probably wish for our minor aches and pains some day! Big Grin

As my DBF (figure that one, Jo) says, I can be glass half empty really easily!!! Angel
