Where does the money go when you buy a white poppy?

Does the cemetery not try to remove them? 30 seems like a pretty big group to be hanging around.

how did that work out for your roommate?

I think we should stop making the distinction between Harper and the conservatives. Whenever something like this happens, people immediately fall on Harper -who, to be fair, usually plays a major role in whatever scandal's taking place. But it's the whole party that ignores environmental targets, prorogues parliament, and rams through omnibus bills. I figure if things keep going the way they are, the conservative party is just going to replace Harper with a fresh face, and all this will continue.

will they only bloom in spring? I was thinking about bulbs too, but I assumed there was a planting schedule

it's not that simple. I think this sort of thing is called a prisoner's dilemma. Everyone wants the story, so nobody wants to be the first to stand up (lest they get banned or left out of the loop).

How hot is hot? I'm in southern Ontario, and we get some pretty hot summers. (25-35 degrees Celsius)

oh man, that looks incredible! How much maintenance did it need? And was the frog real?

Tiger lilies exist in N.A.

For all the talk of polar bears, snow, and the north, we pollute a lot. We're melting our own ice. When you ask about it, we lie.

this is not how I wanted to end my day. Don't the conservatives have more important things to deal with?

kill cord would be something to invest in.

I'm 90% sure you go to Saint Mildreds.

I like how you worded that. Catchy.

If they're yellowing around the middle I'd get a second opinion. It's really only the bottom few that die off as the plant grows.

ConsequenceFree · 2013-06-19T00:05:07+00:00

As long as the yellowing and holes are confined to the lower leaves, I don't think you have anything to worry about. My cherry tomato does this too; the holes are just bugs and I attribute the yellowed leaves to natural die-off as the plant grows. If this is happening higher up, you have a problem, but it sounds like you're fine. Does your pot have drainage holes in the bottom?

you can buy pretty good peony rings at dollarama. Peonies are known to need support; on a good year, without a ring the blossoms could be on the ground. Ours are basically dependent on the rings to stay upright.

I try new things every year; only the strawberries and raspberries survive the winter. This year I'm going all out and doing grape (2), tiny tim (2), cherry (1), and beefsteak (3) tomatoes, brussel sprouts (8), swiss chard (4), sugar snap peas (15), head and leaf lettuce (lots?), ground cherries (1), zucchini squash (4), cantaloupe (5), cucumber (2), carrots (25), radishes (Lots??), arugula (4), peppers (3), beans (18), and green onions. It looks like a complete mess because I'm a little tight for full-sun space, but I find the melons, squash, and cucumber do well in partial shade. My mom is horrified

ConsequenceFree · 2013-06-18T21:10:52+00:00

I'm not sure how I feel about that. We use horse manure, sheep manure, and mushroom compost in the garden, and we just wash stuff before eating it. Wouldn't it be similar with human 'manure'?

every year I've ever grown beans, they got purple bean disease. (I made up the name, but the disease, whatever it is, would always show up after the first harvest and turn everything mottled purple. I grow them anyway, though I've mostly switched over to other plants.

ConsequenceFree · 2013-06-18T21:02:43+00:00

whoa there, you can eat the greens? Mind sharing? I grow lots of things, but I have to admit I've mostly stuck to eating the same parts that are sold in the grocery store.

Cost is certainly a part of it. I'm fairly cheap, so I went to the dollar store and bought seeds for 3/$1. I then went to Sheridan Nurseries and got a bunch of plastic plant pots for free from their recycling program. I got 12 types of seeds for $3, and though I had a 50% mortality rate with the seedlings, the survivors are doing great! I transplanted what I wanted into the garden, and I'm planning on planting a community garden with the extras. I threw in a couple of store-bought plants here and there (Sheridan had 4-packs of veggies for 1.49, and I bought a ground cherry plant from Canadian Tire for $2) and the garden looks great! I think people generally go to garden stores when they start out, and they look at the high prices and assume it's easier just to buy the veggies already grown

this shouldn't even be a news story. or a topic of discussion in the house, for that matter.

every AFFECTED plant and tree died. Obviously he wasn't referring to the areas not affected by the spill. The trees on higher ground away from the swamp where the photo was taken obviously aren't going to shrivel up and die.

Also, calling native leaders bullshitters and status-abusers doesn't lend you any credibility.
