  1. He is on Flagyl and Amoxicillin for a bit of an explosive poopy issue. But he has been on that for over a month now. He got his booster vaccines yesterday. That's all. And he takes Rimadyl and Metacam for his arthritis. But he has taken those for a couple years now.

    There's your answer.

  2. Well most sites/books generally offer the same advice.

     

    Good drainage.

    Water daily.

     

    Drying

    If you are drying herbs for winter use, I clip them often, dry them, you can hang them to dry or dry them in the (directions online) oven and then store in a container.

     

    Oils

    If you want to make oils, the best harvesting time is right before they flower/go to seed.

     

    Freezing

    Some like to freeze the fresh dry (free from moisture) leaves whole.

    To do this, place the leaves on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer.

    Once frozen, you can place them in a freezer bag to use later for soups and sauces.

     

    Usually if I have a question about a particular method of use, I will enter the name of the herb and go from there.

  3. I actually watched the whole thing this afternoon. I believe these people were on to something. Why do you think the Navy didnt want this discovery out???

     

     

    Not really sure.

    As the video implies.

    Maybe the researchers stumbled onto something some don't want anyone knowing about.

    So many questions.

    Your guess would be as good as mine.

    I did find this interesting documentary from back in the early 80's.

    Get's interesting around the 3 minute mark.

  4. Honestly I don't know what to believe on this matter. while the documentary had strong points so did all the articles I read on the internet about it. So I guess you could say I am in the air about it all. I am what I call a wannabeliever, I don't totally believe but I don't completely not believe either. does that make sense?

     

    Yes, I understand.

    Was just curious if you confirmed that these researchers were actors as the internet articles you read pointed out.

    That's all.

    :)

  5. I watched this show a couple of months ago, I got intriqued so I decided to do some research on it. Alot of the information I found said that this documentary was faked and that everyone interviewed in it were actors.

     

     

    I'm curious.

    Did you validate their opinions?

    :)

  6. I have hunted for years and have never seen a bear skeleton so its highly likely that they bury their dead or the bones get eaten.

     

     

    Remember watching a documentary on wildlife one evening where this research team involved in the project performed an experiment to see how long exactly it would take a fresh deer carcass to break down and disappear without a trace.  Turns out that it took seven days from the time the body was placed, the scavengers feasted, and the bones were carted off or buried for later.  

     

    Have met many hunters and hikers that say the same thing as yourself.  

  7. The blue Hydrangeas are usually not hardy here or they need a specific PH to make blue flowers although there are now varieties on the market that will grow blue flowers reliably.  Be wary when buying to make sure of what you are actually getting.  Something from the supermarket is probably not going to be a good garden plant.  Finding a good variety for here in PA would be a good thing to call your local Cooperative Extension about.  http://extension.psu.edu/counties

     

    If you are referring to the BUDS Gardeners donation box, then yes, we can always use donations that would otherwise go into a landfill.

     

    We can use anything involving growing plants, and we always need supplies for the gift wrapping at the Mall the week before Christmas.  

     

    That must be why I've had trouble with them here.  

     

    Down South when grown in semi shade they will stay blue, if too much sun gets to them they turn pink.

     

  8. I was all excited to post a story or 2 when I got home tonight but it wasn't up yet.  :-/  Roger there will be no debating the issues or mocking peoples stories, just a fun place to share experiences and unnatural events.  ;)

     

    Excellent!

  9. It is an Amaryllis. The flowers could be one of many colors: reds, oranges, salmons, mahogany, magenta, deep rose, Victorian pinks, white, creamy yellow, lemon-lime.

     

    Where on earth can I find those other colors?  

     

    The individual ones like Jennifuel's, I only ever find in the white or red.

     

    Then again, maybe I am always too late in selection and the red or white are the only ones left.
