I'll see your Pokey LaFarge and raise you some Squirrel Nut Zippers.


Hey brother, have a great day! I regretfully missed this one, and was probably going to an awesome exchange of music.
 
That sounds like fun. Funny all I can think is what hitchhikers will you get? Where 40 years ago wouldn't give it a second thought.
Did not take the boat, but did take some buckets, the hyacinth (invasive) was still kind of thin, its get over grown by mid summer. did get some in one bucket

In my opinion it would be better to give them 5 gallons each. So a 10 gallon divided in half would be better.
I have to find a place to put them and cycle it . These are beautiful . 😍 can believe I haven’t seen these. Thanks Amanda . I would have seen this if you didn’t send that picture .

You know me I'm an equal opportunity enabler for both saltwater and freshwater...
 
We are listed as zone 5. I usually buy for zone 4 though to be safe.

That is a huge bush. Glad it does well for you.

I have a friend who is originally from Cuba. He tries really hard to have a green yard. He says my place reminds him of Florida. He finally got his yard green.

Used a sprayer and some green paint! Who'd of thunk it? 😂
I have pitched the idea of green concrete, complete with mower lines and everything. That pitch was fouled off and never thrown again.
 
Did you try FunkyTown?


Seems like the can closed about as fast as it opened.
Yeah because you slept all night. I kept listening to it, put quit posting it.
 
the magnolias are just starting. these are sunshine yellow or something. got them because they are late blooming. the frost always killed the purple ones on me. I have a yellow butterflies one too but still hasn't bloomed.

So my son got me a Sponge Bob pineapple house and a sponge Bob figure to put in my aquarium. I don't do fake decor in any of my aquariums but I don't want to hurt his feelings so is there a way I can make it safe to put into my saltwater aquarium?
Put it in the sump lol. It's either that or hurt his feelings for me 😆 🤣 😂
 
yesterday was 97 degrees here. too early for that. its already 76 today at 7am 😤
Paul you literally live on the planet mars. 97? Wasnt it freezing earlier this week!?!
 
“Slightly sweet “ is that because of all the bugs 🐛 🐞 🐜 that come in the mix ? Eweeeee!
Jeez what do you have against eating amphibians? First axoloti and now frogs! You must have drove your mother crazy being such a picky eater as a child.
