A friend gave me this, its gone through the winter just fine, realized I don't know what shoes are made of when they're cloth like this? Poly fibre?
Cheers

So this is why your friend wears work boots...cause you got her shoes?

I saw this girl the other day with boots on up to her hips almost. It would be hilarious to take some of those and plant semps in holes all the way up and down the sides.

Maybe we could do some of those platform shoes too for good measure.

You guys may not realize it but you're getting me going! I may go to goodwill Monday to locate platform shoes! That would be a very cool setting!
Bev, I did not steal these shoes!

'Napped' them, did you?

Semp 'Sassy Frass' would look good in Platform Shoes.

Clint I know you're kidding but really it would! I also was thinking it'd be cool to keep the upper part empty, and just plant around the platform!! I was requested by someone on here...name withheld but she's probably 99 years old or something...to please don't do it - leave the platform shoes alone for goodness sacks!

Post photos if you do that, would you? I bet it would look great.

Greg,

Debra I sure will!! I am so going to do this, its just a matter of "when"
Bev? What?

I was thinking of disco era semp names:

'Hot Stuff'
'Soul Train'
'Shake Your Booty'
'Macho Man'
'Disco Inferno'
'I Will Survive'

I will survive seems to be a theme song for mine...especially since I like to grow the seedlings/chicks right away on their own It has been amazing me how well they do!

One of mine has a few "leaves" that look rotten. I can't believe how easy some of them are to get sick! I have excellent drainage, but for some reason the weather is not cooperating with my new plants. I haven't seen the sun shine in a few days now!

The snow would be fine for them, but yes if its wet like this that is hard on them... Also these plants came from CA, and I'm pretty sure drier conditions, so its probably feeling more wet to them, then if they came from more similar climate! They're all gonna do fine though! As I see the rotting leaves I pick them off gently, which I think helps!

They will do great once our weather warms and the sun comes out. This year they will adjust and not have any problems with the wet next winter/spring.

I bought some chicken grit Lynn and all, but so far haven't used it yet, haven't even opened the bag, so don't even know what it looks like! I had a choice of size 1 or 2 and I chose 1...without seeing it! Funny

I wish I'd hung onto those heels that I sent to charity just before Christmas And now I'm making a mental inventory of my shoe rack, trying to see which ones I can sacrifice to semps...
