hell might as well say mine is. only time i see my boys is family dinner or fishing and my girls when they need some "Daddy time" aka cash. lol
my youngest daughter is the only one that just chills with me. i figure a couple more years until shes too cool for that. then its all about my growing. my wife will love that. lol

Pff. Sometimes is an understatement. I figured by having kids I'd have a little company when I get old. Now, I'm not so sure. They're always too busy.

we have a rule here. come see dad or dont talk/ask for anything from dad. all i ask is at least a weekly visit until they move out of state or what not. we try to do a dinner once a month. although my oldest thinks shean exception to the rule. i told her even when she has kids she will still be coming over. she remembers going to my mommas for sunday dinner. man i miss those days.

Beautiful! Anyone have a few sees they want to share? I will grow them and photograph the process from seed to flower!
And speaking of the love of growing all things.... I threw some of my bloom food on my wife's roses this year and wow. I actually had to stake one of them up to keep the branches from breaking off under the load. We haven't been able to have roses here for years due to the deer but now with the dogs having been here a couple of years, the deer stay out at the far edges of the yard rather then looking in the windows.

I would have a bed full of bleeding hearts right now if my fucking chickens hadn't torn them up. The one in back is recovering, but the native bleeding heart I haven't seen a flicker of green from at all. I've now begun plinking my birds with the pellet gun to keep them away from the areas where they aren't welcome for their destructiveness.

No problem, I don't mind at all. Mine do that when they're done blooming and are ready to pack in the nutrition for blooming the next year. Have hers bloomed yet? Mine have not yet bloomed, very odd, very late, they're usually blooming by May. But, I would agree, that looks to be a nitrogen deficiency. I have mine planted in acidic soil with my Japanese maple and Camellia, rather shaded. So if it's hot then that could be another reason for the yellowing, even in a pot like how she has it.

Maybe the rhizome/bulb has grown too big for the pot. I honestly don't know for sure, I would try repotting at this point, though.

what A wonderful Summer it has been.
I grew tomatoes, corn and peppers beans peas pumpkins oh a lot-O stuff.
and all done with in a the confines of 5 gal plastic totes buckets and old crates.
I had never tried growing a container garden and as is was enjoyed it to the extreme, I helped my sister learn how to clone her favorite roses and turned her into a major green thumb.

This may sound common place to a lot of you with years of gardening and farming But for me @50 and for the last lets say 10 years the most I ever did was drive to the Pharmacy to pic up more pain medication,

For me it wasn't until I put the pills down and picked up a pac of rolling papers and some of what Mother nature provides did I have fortitude and cognition to do more... This year for me has been a blessing
The birthday party for my niece the wedding for one of my friends and the salsa in my fridge All because of something pure and natural.

Thank you Farm
Thank you mother earth
@Seamaiden A very special thank you to you for being the 1st to make me feel welcome here on the Farm
and always being there when I had Questions about a problem with plants.
You are a wonderful person.

From this Disabled Veteran to everyone
Thank you for my Life
