I love the white flowers on them.  Somebody bought a ton for the St. Patricks theme meal in the school cafeteria, and they wanted to throw them away afterwards so I decided to rescue some of them. ---------------- Duck...duck...duck...duck...BOOBS! | |||

I have some shamrocks with purple flowers growing in my backyard. Also, it amazes me the things that people will buy for "something" and just throw away, not even thinking about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discordian Priestess, Keeper of the Golden Pine-Apple.

It's not quite gardening, but I thought this would be the best thread to put these in. Mr. Gurgle and I made a patio over the weekend! We dug a 100 sq feet out and made a huge hole!  So many bricks! and I hauled most of them from the delivery point to the back yard.  Sunday, the laying began.  Mr. Gurgle in the final stretch.  Is it soup yet?  SOUP!  and yes, I am very sore today, those tiles are hea-vy! ---------------------------- Official Pineapple Master General of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination He said 'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything' But he didn't get it.... | |||

Nel, that's awesome! It looks great.  (Tell Mr. Gurgle I say hi, as well).Hey, does anyone know if vines will root from clipings? Like, if I see a vine I like (and it grows on the ground), if I cut off a piece of it and toss it on the ground in my backyard, will it take root? | |||

That is awesome Nel!! It looks great. Good job! ------------------------------ Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. | |||

I don't think it will root if you just toss it on the ground. I've found that if you want something to root you place the freshly cut bit in a glass or something with water, and in a few weeks it will sprout roots. Then you can plant it usually with success. ---------------------------- Official Pineapple Master General of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination He said 'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything' But he didn't get it.... | |||

I'm not sure I can handle the two extra steps! Just kidding - I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes. | |||

Joccy, check at wherever you buy gardening stuff from. There is powdered root starter stuff that you can dip the end of the cutting in to help the roots start faster. I've used it. I think it works. ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett | |||

We're going to have to go out and get some "real" tools. I guess no one had this plot last year, so the ground is pretty hard.
