Water runs right through the hanging planters...Ours ,anyway. I read that you can bury a plastic bottle in the dirt..lid off , and pour water into that. I myself would poke holes in the bottle at different heights...Hubby said plants do so much better in the ground he doesn't plan to use our two..Both bought at yard sales..a buck each, as I recall..New....Ours was hung from a tall, heavy duty steel plant hanger, stuck in the ground...Think we had to brace it...Might try to grow something else...Understand peppers work, but am leaning towards a cucumber...Bush, pickling type. Hubby planted them about 3 times around their wire cages and now ALL of the seed sprouted!

This is a forwarded message From: Walter J Freeman Date: Monday, May 16, 2011, 9:34:23 PM Subject: [Int-Gen] Re: [AIF] National Geographic genealogy This program is at least six or seven years old at this point. It is being lead by Dr. Spencer Wells, a well-known population geneticist, who set out to map the DNA distributions of the worlds people, preferably the people indigenous to an area. At the same time, the test was offered to the public through the auspices of Family Tree DNA which handled the marketing of the tests. It is no bargin for genealogical purposes, since genealogy is not the primary issue of the study. So the number of SNPs and other items measured are bare bones, just enough to determine crude haplogroupings. One can have the results transferred in to an FTDNA project if one has done the NatGeo test, but invariably one has to add considerable more testing to the base data in order to get anything useful. For example, for $100 I may have learned that I am R1b haplotype in my paternal line and possibly that I am H haplotype in my maternal line. Well as interesting as that might be, there are probably without exageration tens upon tens of millions of others who have the same very, very crude haplotypes distinctions. In actuality, I am R-M222 (Northwest Irish) or R1b1b2a1a2f2 <http://www.isogg.org/wiki/NW_Irish> and H2a2 mtDNA, <http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Haplogroup_H_%28mtDNA%29> which narrows it down to only millions of other people who share the same two classifications. No, to do anything meaningful in terms of genealogy, one needs more discrimination, which means more extensive testing such as Y-DNA 37 or 67 STR marker profiles instead of SNPs as the NatGeo project gives you. As far as the right price, well, you get what you pay for, I suppose. And it would be cheaper in the short and long run just to order the proper tests from FTDNA to start with instead of detouring through the NatGeo project where you will waste both time and money in the process of determining something useful. Of course, one can also pay a small fee and have a subset of one's data from more conventional genetic genealogy testing transferred to the NatGeo project, which would be my recommendation, if you wanted to be represented in that database. An even bigger waste of time and money would be to buy your DNA testing through Ancestry.com, which is almost useless in terms of finding anything meaningful on a genealogical search. FTDNA is the only game in town for genealogy. They are good, they have 600,000 tests under their belt and the worlds largest data base of its type, they are fair, they protect one's privacy so that you only share what you want to share, and they have excellent customer service and support. Not so Ancestry. Not so NatGeo.

Walter, Forgive me, I know there are others who do not watch much TV news and I only heard about this yesterday. I guess this has been on TV since last Friday. I only caught it yesterday and today I saw a reference to the situation as I was reading my online news. The more I read the more I thought, babies, toddlers, children and so forth need to come with instruction manuals for parents. It is not even whether the mother is licensed/certified or whatever to do this. It is where did child learn about wrinkles? Why is she worried about wrinkles? She should be learning that God made each of us a little different and we love each other as we are. She should still be playing with Betsy Wetsy, playing in the sandbox and watching Shirley Temple. Far too many parents live through their children. It can be looks, intelligence, sports or etc. I have seen this even as my children as raise their children. My oldest grandson had many interests when he was younger, soon to be 16, but they did not fit in with what his parents thought a boy should be spending time doing. I think many parents today need to have been raised with those old sayings that still go through my mind. I could recite a book of them. But "Pretty is as Pretty does" seems to fit the situation. Although, I fear the one with the most problems will be the little girl. Marilyn On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 3:55 PM, Walter J Freeman <sffwjf@gmail.com> wrote: > Is this a new thing?

Hey Robert,I saw that, pretty amazing. But there is absolutely no way to even comprehend this damage without seeing it. Every neighborhood I go into, seems worse than the other. You can count the trees left, on your fingers. AND>>>this was a city of huge tress. hence...the name, Druid City. Yesterday I went looking for the places my son and wife lived after getting married while still students at the U.of A. They wanted to live off campus...because they had a dog and cat by then. One house they lived in was in an old historic area, called Forrest Lake...beautiful homes...and tress probably hundreds of years old...lots of tress...and adjoining a large neighborhood, (several streets and avenues) of nice medium sized houses, built mostly after WW2.There is nothing left but rubble and now, the newly cut trees, to partially clear the streets enough for one vehicle to get through them.So much debris on the ground , they still ask that people stay out.Broken off trees with a stubby limb or two left down low, looks like what our kids used to draw on halloween. This is the same through about twenty of our neighborhoods.A friend of mine in Hillcrest...lived in the culdesac....in a brick house..sort of in the edge of the tornado.some of the front part, away from the onslaught, was left, (She was asleep and escaped injury other than cuts and bruises from flying glass, etc. But they have not found a piece of the whole garage side. They are going to bulldoze it, I think, like hundreds more. now, added to all the piled up trees you see any household furniture added to the curb. Very sad. Tuscaloosa will never look the same.I am dreading seeing apartments, condos etc, replace these nice homes and pretty gardens. I guess if we live long enough, we will see change. I enjoy the posts.

Both lists are rather quiet at this time. So how about a discussion concerning the mom who was giving her 8 year old daughter Botox injections. Or these pageants they have for little children, I seem to remembering seeing them for boys and girls. I do not favor either but wonder what others think, both males and females will answer, I hope.

These plants/planters do need to be watered on a regular but limited basis. The soil should be kept damp but not soaked. I have not used them but my neighbor did. They had nice medium size tomatoes. The tomatoes tasted good but they did pick theirs before they were fully ripe. Do remember to keep the little "suckers" pinched back, they grow between a big limb and the main stem. This reminds me of an article I read by a man whose father grew tomatoes as a career. He said his father would even pinch off most of the leaves. This would lead to larger tomatoes. I have never tried that but may try that this year.

I think it might be better to use the soil that comes in a bag and holds the water in it. Might not have to water every day. Who knows watering can be tricky. If it was regular dirt from the yard if it is like ours there isn't much nutrients in it. Water can go straight through it.

Yup, we know we don't need any roosters but we haven't decided yet whether to set eggs or not.... sometime later we'll make that decision. There seems to be a growing market for chickens both for farms and big city back yards. We have a neighbor about a mile away that says he never knows where his chickens are during the day but they always return to the roost at the end of the day. I don't have a problem with that. All things considered, we are really enjoying the chickens. Of course, to date, they haven't begun pooping by the front door or our beloved pavilion. lol :-)**
Yes, she did have the two hanging planters in direct sun.....no trees near by. That may have been the problem. She tried to water them every day with the garden hose but I suspect the soil got very dry between soakings. juanita ks > I wonder if she had them hanging in the sun.

I've been sorely concerned about y'all what with those wildfires out there...Glad to hear from you and know you're OK.... I used to let our chickens out in the morning and they would run down in the orchard to the mulberry tree to pick up the berries...They looked SO funny from the back, running as fast as they could...I found out when you didn't want them to go too far to let them out late in the afternoon...they'll usually stay close to the coop... You don't need to keep ANY roosters if you aren't going to set eggs....Or unless you want to hear them crow. Not only do they crow early in the AM, I have heard them crow at every hour of the day and night...Listening to the young roosters practising crowing was a hoot...Their voices change just like teenage boys....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mon, 16 May 2011 17:29:02 -0500 Doug Crim <ddcrim@gmail.com> writes: > Yup, you can grow just any old tomato in those things...

Louise I bought one of those tomato plants but I got yelled at by M. for buying it. He said our awning would never hold it so I have to take it back.
