Tuesday: A day to: enjoy gardening.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we
can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.
I have been gardening most of my long life, but I still get my plants mixed up now and then. I have enjoyed a very large “fuchsia” for over a year now, even providing it with a lovely and very large planter. . . but something was nagging me at the back of my horticultural brain. This lovely specimen (and of course I had lost the plant id tag at some point) just didn’t seem quite like all the other fuchsias I have raised. . .
So I finally checked out my hunch that this orange flowered beauty was actually a Cuphea. Anyway, I’ve decided it is—that’s my new story and I’m sticking with it!!!
I love it that this is also known as “Hummingbirds Lunch.”
I know that none of you, IAN family and Friends, have ever so erred. . . so feel free to share any gardening news you may have. Or any local news. Or just stop by to say hello.
Ciao!
