I also saw 2 daylillies the other day in his garden that are still blooming that I don't have. What I like most about these two? They're like 5 feet tall! One is a gorgeous pale peach, the other a spikey petaled yellow. Don't know how I never added them to my stash before, guess I should go over with my shovel & some pots.....but first going to go kayaking with Mom over at Round Valley. My daughter, Mom & I decided a couple of years ago that on the anniversary of my grandson's death we would do something we have never done before. A way of adding to our lives instead of just sulking. So I think we should find a little something to add to our "live list" today...hmmm....what kind of trouble can we get into today? The other week, for Dominic's day we went kayaking down the Delaware, which we have done before, but this time we stopped & had lunch at "The Hotdog Man" floating BBQ in the river, literally. The tables are in the water to! Then we ended at a different spot so we had to go through the "wing dam". We never considered the thunderstorms from the day before so we're a little shaky about doing this (not that either admitted it till after), only to find it was no big deal, at all!!! SIGH RELIEF EXHALE...well then we were done...OOPS! guess who took her keys with her & left them in the truck up river???? Long story short, within minutes Mom got a ride with a State Trooper....a first for Mom: riding in a police car! OK, lets see what we can do for the "first" time today!<br />

</tbody></table>This blog is dedicated to my Dad. I caught the garden bug shortly after he did. First he started with irises, then he found his real love: daylillies. At one point he had over 400 different varieties. Dad, a very "anti computer" kind of guy, logged every single flower in a binder with each individuals information (name, cultivator, colors, height, location in the garden etc.). He also had metal name plates staked for each one as well. Dad's favorite thing in the garden was making more (AGGGGHH!!) gardens & splitting & potting the lillies to give away to anyone who wanted some. Of course I can't forget the how much he loved to take anyone who was interested, on a garden tour. There was always a promise of your favorite getting potted when it was done blooming.<br />
Dad's gardens got to be more then he, or all of us, could keep up with and since maintenance was not one of his favorites, they began to get messy. Unfortunately the named stakes started falling down, sometimes got mowed over (really NOT good for the tractor!!!) or just plain vanished. Eventually the outcome resulted in of us no longer knowing what daylilly was what, well except the Stellas....everyone knows those! <br />
Every daylilly that I have, originally came from my father except 3 that I had purchased on a trip to "Ralph's" with my Dad. Later on, when they got bigger, I split them to give Dad half. Below are a sampling of Dads daylillies in my garden. Now if only I knew their names! If you know their names please tell me!!!<br />

I decided to change the water first and was using the bucket to splash water in & around the flowers, you know, no wasting the stuff around here! BUT.....what I didn't know was that my cat, Tess, was sleeping under the daylilly leaves and she got whacked with a bucket of water...OOPS</td></tr>

Hubby moved it to my garden since its been almost 2 months since I said I would clean it up. This puppy lasted a whole week, I think, before trying to see if it could fly and do flips etc. I thought, or maybe I should say dream or prayed, that if I put it on the side of the garage that maybe, just freaking maybe, it would escape the freak wind tunnel that insists on barreling through my backyard.</td></tr>

Check out them ears in the back, cool huh? VERY, especially since I grew them last year for the first time dug them out in the fall & promptly threw them in a bucket and forgot about them in my basement. I wasn't very nice or considerate to them, but apparently they weren't offended. I really wasn't expecting them to do anything so I am very pleasantly surprised and promise to treat them with more dignity and respect this fall!</td></tr>

There are TWO manhole covers and about 5 or 6 pieces of PVC pipe sticking up all through it. I will put the chinmea on top of one of the manhole covers since my other contraption I have there rusted away and couldn't hold a potted plant anymore.<br />

Tiger Lillies are "Natives" here in New Jersey. Last year I thought I had gotten them all out of my gardens...obviously I was very wrong! The worst offender or would it be the biggest idiot for that second picture: you see I THOUGHT I took that sucker out, cause there was a gorgeous big dark red daylilly right next to it that it was crowding. Imagine my horror as those stems got taller and taller, it could only mean one thing. Was I having an extravagant time with cocktails while gardening that day when I moved "that plant"????? Just an FYI, I don't EVER throw away any flowers, I put them in the hedgerow, otherwise known as "on your own" spots.. Guess I'm just going to have to wait and see where the red one turns up!!!! I get so ticked off every time I look at that thing. The other ones are just a matter of "I didn't get all the roots", so I'll dig them up again. But a tiger lilly showing up instead of my beloved big red.......if you could see me now I am snarling and gritting my teeth.......</div>Jesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15217361936715452718noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928782190641414169.post-1893414404197485722011-06-17T11:24:00.000-07:002011-06-17T11:39:54.761-07:00Prettying Up The Hypertufa Planters To Sell<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This little pot came from my friend Jane, well actually Jen insisted I take it home so that I would have something of Jane's. I refused to take clothes, shoes...I don't care if I'm the only one around with small feet like hers, I don't want any shoes...or clothes or etc etc . etc....so then Jen found this pot in the garage, it was just the perfect thing. Unfortunately Jane passed away suddenly last week at a young age of 46. If you look back from my posts in April, there is one that references a "Blonde". That would be Jane. If only I had taken pictures that day. The past 2 weeks have been a bit rough. I lost another friend from my church just days before Jane. His name was Frank & he was a wonderful colorful character who reminded me of my grandfather. I even loved his orneriness & grouchiness as he reached his final age of 93. At least with Frank, I know he has been long waiting to be with his beloved wife again. So of course as I am working on the planters, I made sure to fill up "Jane's Pot" & have a cocktail with her name on it. </td></tr>

Well, that's all I have. I am going to a flea market on Sunday(yes I have the hubby's approval to be absent the beginning of Father's Day..especially if it means I might actually contribute something to the bills) & hope I have some luck selling some of these. I also have some other "things" I'm working on. I started out on this web of blogs initially interested in gardens & such. WELL..HA...have you seen any of these DIY blogs??? How about the "Upcycling"????? I am in awe of these people and quite addicted to them now. I now find myself stalking garage sales, flea markets, and, yes, I will admit, people's garbage, looking for something I can give a new life to. I have several things I have done or in "process". Couple of weeks ago I scored some gorgeous (!!!!) solid wood (not sure what, could be maple or walnut) cabinett doors that were never used & a huge pile of trim in every size, shape & color. YAY ME!!!! 5 of the doors I made in to chalkboards, & the last one which is plain I plan on using it to top a table base I picked up today. UNLESS...I can find a really cool piece of flagstone & figure out how to attach it....HMMMM...<br />
AH, who knows, way to many ideas & projects going on at the same time, and don't forget that pesky school thing. MAN, summer classes are kinda intense this time around! Time to get my butt back to finishing something, hope you all have a great weekend!<br />

HA! Had to get a new oven & I took out the racks from the old one thinking I might use them for the firepit, or something....YUP, something turned out to be the "trellis". A little wire here & there.....oh and look, just happen to have some old arrows in the garden (I use them to mark where I've planted seeds of some sort, well, when I remember, that is)</td></tr>

Got this through various blogs, just tried it & it worked for me, so I'm passing it on:<br />
<br />
Here are the steps from "Living In France" as I took them:<br />
<br />
<br />
* Tools>Internet Options>Delete temporary files, cookies etc.<br />
<br />
* Go to your Blogger Home Page to sign in BUT before you sign/log in click the F5 key on your keyboard. THEN sign in, BUT do not click the "Stay Signed In"/"Remember Me" box. <br />
<br />
***** After deleting the cookies, and clicking F5..... in order to "sign in", I first had to "sign out", then I signed in and had to unclick the "Stay signed in" box.*****<br />
<br />

OK, so maybe I'm just in a goofy happy mood, but I just LOVE this video!<br />
For whatever reason, every time<em> </em>I watch this ( which I keep doing over & over since yesterday) <br />
I just can't help but laugh & feel good. Yeah... warm , happy, fuzzy good. <br />
Now who can't use a little of that?<br />
That's it, that's all I have to say (as I sit here typing & giggling...).<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So why is it that this patch of the garden is the only one with irises blooming? <br />
<br />
<br />
AH, whose knows! I'm still waiting on other irises to let me know what I planted to begin with. The only other color that I have gotten blooms from since the initiall transplanting are a gorgeous bunch of white irises that just bloomed last year for the first time. I know I have peach ones somewhere, and the rest well, who doesn't love surprises!!!!???</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another old piece given a new life. Got this at the end of summer a couple of years ago for $7.50. Being unemployed I pulled the plug for the fountain, I might of gotten it dirt cheap but it still costs to run it! So I put a stake in the ground & put the fountain over it to keep it up when we have one of our infamous "winds" here, it just is a freak thing in our yard, I swear. Can't have any kind of tent structure here PERIOD. Anyway, been filling this up with hens & chicks & any other succulents I come by...yeah....I'm continuing my new fondness for them since last year.<br />

Hit the local flea market on Wen. & almost fainted at one table. Every piece was made of metal, iron, etc......gorgeous big door knocker shaped like the "Green Man", another shaped like a roaring lion's head, fancy gates, candelabras, chandeliers...oh it was just so awesome, but I believe the guy knew it so his prices were to high for me. He told me a lot of people "like this stuff for their gardens".....and I thought to myself "NO SH** Sherlock, why do you think I'm standing here drooling like an idiot"....he so had me pegged and I was on to his playing dumb innocent vendor malarkey...jerk. So yeah, I walked away, all the while trying to come up with some kind of divine scenario that would justify an insane purchase that would do nothing but look absolutely magnificent in my garden. I could already see the looks of pure envy to all , and anyone, lucky enough to grace my garden.....<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So here sits my backyard salvation. Mulch only started on the far side in this pic, but actually done now. I had to spray the dreaded Round Up to get some kind of control of the over populating dandelions that were taking over this inside area. Now I need some quarry dust to get the sitting area done once & for all.<br />

<div align="left">Well today I switched vehicles with the hubby so I could have the truck to pick up any good finds (which also meant I left my camera in the car). I got a couple of pallets, & hoping the spot puts some more of the gazillion they have stacked by their store. Especially since they saw me taking them!!! HINT HINT. As usual, I have all these ideas & plans, I just need more time, more supplies and etc etc etc. I need a potting bench and being an unemployed student, I came up with the idea to use pallets. Searching the web I found some really cool things made from pallets: <a href="http://webecoist.com/2010/04/07/art-of-upcycling-20-diy-wood-pallet-reuse-project-ideas/">click here to check some out some of the ideas</a> and this one for the <a href="http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/reader-project/pallet-potting-benches-reader-project-121039">potting bench.</a> Of course I have a whole list of other stuff I want to make to!</div><div align="left">Last final & class was on Monday, so I am officially on break till the 23rd. I thought the first day I would just chillax in the garden reading magazines & dreaming, but instead I got fidgety and starting mulching, and mulching, and planting flowers and mulching. You what that means right? I wasn't worth diddly by the end of the day, my back was shot. Same for the next day, so I mowed the lawn instead and got more flowers to plant. Monday night when I came home, I pulled in the driveway to see that my husband decided to take down the other in tree in front of the house. Now it looks naked and the front garden really sticks out. That garden that I neglect the most because I hang out in the backyard......I AM allowed to have favorites if I want right??? Anyway, guess it's time to get "that" garden done & finished once & for all. I am even putting down weedblock, and I mean the good stuff to, to keep it more maintenance free. Time to get back to work. Hoping everything will be done (HAHAHHAHAHAHHHAH) before it's time to go back to school.</div></td></tr>

</div>Happy beautiful Friday folks! It is a gorgeous day in here in Jersey (finally!). I am half way through finals in school, so this is just going to be short & sweet, just like my favorite four legged buddy: Manny. Seems Mr. Man noticed some strange lumps in the yard that alerted him to the posibility that those wierd little mice things have moved back to the property. Manny finds moles & toads to be extremely entertaining, and since this little infestation is far, far away from any of my gardens, I am perfectly fine with him tearing & digging away. Manny will sit, guard, dig, and root around with his nose in the dirt for hours on end, waiting to catch one of his itty bitty playmates. Can't say that the little critters feel appreciated by his fondness for them, but hell, you can't please everybody, huh?</div>Jesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15217361936715452718noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928782190641414169.post-72404691788095914542011-04-29T08:21:00.000-07:002011-04-29T08:21:38.451-07:00Some NestCam Updates + Some New Ones<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The <a href="http://www.dukefarms.org/Education/Eagle-Cam/">Duke Farms</a> Bald Eagles in New Jersey: 2 chicks hatched second week in April.<br />

I had some other things I was thinking about posting today, but then I realized I haven't been checking out the nestcams. Last Friday was the last time I looked and I couldn't believe how big the eagle chicks had gotten so quick. Each nestcam has the direct link back to the bird's actual site. There are still so many more nestcams to check out. I really like watching the hummers....it's scary when momma sticks that long beak of hers right down the tiny baby's throat. For the life of me I can't believe she isn't impaling the little thing!<br />

Last summer I was able to get pictures sitting in a hightop chair just 2 feet from a feeder in the garden. I have even had them dart in and out of the water spray when I was watering my flowers. I wish I could say that I am used to them whizzing by my head and I don't duck and scream like a big ol girl with pictures of huge disgusting bugs in my head....</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">If you don't have a hummingbird feeder, GET ONE! You're are missing out on some serious bird watching fun. Late summer is "Hummer Wars" time. I watched one very territorial guy chase a newbie two fields away before he came back. It's fascinating how fast they can go to. You can go with the old regular feeders or go online for some definitely new fangled twists and original feeders. Here's just s few:</span></div><br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">I sat in the garden yesterday, catching some sun on my face ( a bit chilly with the wind blowing), while waiting for a Weeping Cherry we bought over the weekend, to be delivered. An old friend from high school had asked me on Facebook if I wanted to walk that day but I hadn't seen it. When I went in the house to find out the nursery wanted to change my delivery to Friday, I decided to call this new guy for mulch before I forget another day. To my surprise the guy said he'll be here with in the next 2 hours......I replied "TODAY!!!!!????". Talk about going into shock! Damn, if he wasn't here in less than an hour, would of been even less if he didn't pass by my house 3 times.... The part that really cracks me up is that I am practically the ONLY person on this road with gardens AND I was in the front yard, planting stuff, to begin with, car parked on the lawn, BIG blue tarp down in the driveway......wouldn't these be screaming "MULCH HERE"????</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">So, anyway, after calling for the mulch, my phone rings and it's Jane wanting to hook up for a walk. Seems we are all finding out that we are indeed middle age, overweight, and the doctors are informing us of all our ailments that require immediate attention to eating right and exercising. One former classmate just recently had a heart attack, so I told him I would walk with him since we both have to make "changes", maybe we can make each other stick to it. As others seen the post on Facebook, others wanted to join us, this where Jane comes in. So I tell her I can't go cause I'm waiting for the mulch man to deliver. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Jane replies:" Got an extra shovel?" </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Me: "Yeah??"</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Jane: " OK, I'll come over and help you mulch, that's exercise"</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Me: "Yeah?????"</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">And she did. I'll be damned, she really did. Even carried rocks. And then she keeps thanking me, and I'm still thinking "Yeah????"</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course now, gardening with someone who doesn't "know" your garden, you will always get the: "Is this something?", translation: weed? important stuff I shouldn't step on or smother with mulch? Hence Jane referred to as "Gardening with a Blond".....cause yes, she is blond. Was she easy to???? Let's just say I am still in awe that someone was actually asking me: what next? where do you want this? etc....... that just doesn't happen around here, it stills feels weird. I didn't have to threaten her, with hold food or clean clothing, throw a hissy fit, lay on the ground screaming , crying and stamping my feet.....and she kept thanking ME!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, as I get ready to get some more mulch done before classes tonight, I KNOW, without any doubt, my son who is on "spring break, is praying to all the Fishing Gods that Rule the Planet, that I <strong>DON'T</strong> ask him to help.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><em>WOW, Many Thanks Again Jane!!!!</em></strong></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh yeah.....I fed her pizza and she wanted to come back to day after work.....so while everyone else is on spring break I'll be going to class tonight....damn.</div></div>Jesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15217361936715452718noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928782190641414169.post-88517690623322617072011-04-15T07:49:00.000-07:002011-04-15T07:49:57.247-07:00Jester's Deer Buster Brew<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />

SHAKE. Let sit for a few days, then strain into another jug. Use that jug to fill up spray bottles. Store remainder in the fridge and be sure to label it and warn your family or guests!!!!! You don't have to follow this exactly, the basic idea is to make something smelly and awful tasting the deer won't want to eat. The egg is for keeping it on the plants so that it can't be easily washed away when it rains. This is why you want a nice sunny day for spraying. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Have an outdoor cat to prowl the garden for controlling the population of chipmunks, mice and baby rabbits. Yeah, ok, that might sound cruel, but which do you want? Cuteness or flowers and veggies in your garden??</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> A house wren feeds 500 bugs and caterpillars to her babies in ONE afternoon! A Brown Thrasher consumes thousands of bugs a day. Place birdhouses of different sizes and styles near by. Spot some simple bird baths here and there in your garden as enticement to feathered helpers. Fill large terra cotta saucers, the ones made for placing under pots, with water, and set on logs turned on end.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Save fur from brushing and grooming your dog. Scatter it in the garden (people hair is good to). It deters nibblers and also adds nitrogen to the soil as it decomposes. No dog? Ask your local pet groomer to save fur for you or ask your hairdresser.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Cut a gallon milk jug in half lengthwise. Punch a hole in the bottom to let out rain. Set ripening melons in the contraptions. They help prevent rot and keep mice and shrews from nibbling on the melons.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Want corn but raccoons want it to? Inter plant corn with large leaved pumpkin and squash. Supposedly raccoons and squirrels do not like to walk on the leaves.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Aphids flock to yellow. Fill a yellow dishpan part way with water and set in the garden. Aphids will land on the water and be trapped.

Happy Friday Folks! Posting right now from upstate NY somewhere a few miles east of Rhinebeck....gps was pronouncing it "Rinneybeck". Mom & I are up here visting family & getting Mom's old suburu some new tires and seatbelts via my cousin's husband:Tim...he's such a nice guy!<br />
Since his garage was just a short ways up the road from thier house we decided to walk back, with Manny, Romeo & Trey figuring it would be some good exercise after riding 3+ hours in the car. On the walk back, by the third yard I realized something: it was the third house we walked by that was sporting a graveyard! seems like they randomly ALL over the place and really really old. So this will be yet another admission from yours truly: I LOVE graveyards. Some of the coolest I've seen are a few miles from here in Hyde Park NY. Years and years ago when I was a teenager, my cousin Brian and I went on a sort of adventure (that's going to be my story, and I'm sticking to it) and for a lack of anything to do , do pass some time we mosied around the Vanderbilt mansion & grounds and then we went across the street and checked out the graveyards. What cool stuff we found I swear!!! I've been hooked ever since. Old (and especially RICH) graveyards have some of the most ornate stones and mausoleums.<br />
Well, I'm trying to do this on a laptop for the first time....while sitting on the back porch with 5 dogs running around. Yeah, it's a family quirk from my mother's side: we bring our dogs everywhere we go....<br />
Would love to chat more but it's hard enough trying to see the screen.<br />
Hope you all have a warm & sunny weekend!</div>Jesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15217361936715452718noreply@blogger.com3
