I did make it home before dark yesterday and there are lots of mistletoe clusters WAY up in the tops of the trees. I found one branch the squirrels had threw down but I don’t see any berries. I think there is 1 cluster I may can reach with the pole saw... it’s iffy though.. I wonder why it only grows so high up? I’ll get a better assessment this weekend;-)

Thanks! High up ‘ cause thats probably where the birds or squirrels rubbed the seeds on branches they were roosting in. Mistletoe starts off growing “under it’s own” power & photosynthetic process is involved so they need bright light. Theres more available light at the top of trees than way down low. Later, they attach their roots directly into their host (the tree) and the light isnt that important for photosynthesis.

Yeah....my ornamental multi-flowering fancy sunflower seeds arrived yesterday! All set for so e wonderful sunflowers later this season...

Purchased from American Meadows - recently featured on a Public Broadcasting Service tv program.


I’m hoping to have a 50 feet or more of Mexican sunflowers in bloom like these

Rain, rain, rain & more rain. Today is our 21st consecutive day ABOVE “normal” temperatures! The next two are predicted to be “cooler” but then warmish again.

We popped over to IKEA yesterday that is situated near the DC border and near the National Agricultural Library - there were many many many Spring flowering trees in bloom! Unheard of for mid-February. It’s almost Florida balmy here these days.

Hi all...I have never come here to see what was going on since this room opened because of 'cheese'. How ever I decided to pop in and see what all the ruckus is about.....and have laughed a lot. There's funny, weird stuff being said...I love it!

Lots of nothing & everything all at the same time! Brew some mulch tea, grab a carrot & join in!

Has anyone told you about the initiation process yet?
