"Winter Gardening Fun"
GardenHere turns grey cold weather months into exciting home gardening fun.
While other gardening enthusiast are waiting for their December and January plant catalogs, GardenHere members are busy growing landscape and flower starts in their window sills to trade with other home gardeners around the country."Winter can be a really fun time of year for home gardeners," said Al Stubblefield, designer and owner of the GardenHere Website.
"Many of our members in the North root plant cuttings in kitchen glasses to offer in exchange for postage or other plants they would like to acquire.
Some members offer to trade flower seeds they harvested earlier in the year."Even though outside temperatures in my state can easily hit freezing or below this time of year, I have Fuchsia starts and Geraniums in my sunroom window that will be ready for trade in a couple of weeks.
There is still a bucket of Daylily and Iris tubers in the garage that I didn't have time to get in the ground this fall.
I'm sure some of our GardenHere members will want them when spring arrives."Most gardeners in the South never see snow or experience temperatures even close to freezing.
Some garden fanatics in the North protect their prize plants in home greenhouses.
Most of these gardeners have too many of some plants and would like to either give a way some of their extra landscape plants and flowers or trade for plant varieties they do not already have.The GardenHere Internet site makes it easy to exchange plants and flowers. It takes about 60 seconds to register and membership is free.
After that, home gardeners can place messages in the forums offering their extra plants and seeds, or tell other members what they would like in exchange.
It's all very simple and fun."Last month I received 20 new varieties of Daylilies and two cold hardy Hibiscus plants," said GardenHere founder, Al Stubblefield.
"The only cost to me was postage, which was less than $6 dollars.
That's hard to beat."Here's what another member had to say, "As many of you know, I started up my own eBay business a few months ago. Well, turns out that a GardenHere member, Fern, had made some purchases from me on eBay recently. We figured this out when Fern recognized my name and address I sent her in regards to a trade we were setting up.
"She sent me tons and tons of glad bulbs and bulbils, plus some seeds in exchange for my sedum, ginger and seeds from my prize Zinnias I grew this summer. "What a small world and what an awesome trade. Thanks again, Fern. I hope to trade again soon," posted by GardenHere Member, Nicole.GardenHere Member Copperlilac had this to say, "I just finished a trade with Maineroses. I sent her Peonies for Irises and she included a great baby Lupine and seeds as a bonus.
"Thanks for the great trade Maineroses."Finally, GardenHere Member Dee wrote, "I have some baby Gladiolus. I have so many different colors I couldn't tell you what colors they would be. By the way, do you know how to keep them from having too many offspring? I have to throw away hundreds each year because I have no one to give them to.Gardeners interested in joining this friendly home gardening community are invited to register at http://www.GardenHere.com/forums .

THE STORY OF A KING AND THREE MAIDENS ? SIX KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP
A King was trying to choose between three maidens to be his wife and queen. It was very difficult to judge since these women were all very intelligent and beautiful. He gave each maiden a bag of seeds and told them he was going on a pilgrimage for one year. When he returned, each of them were to give the seeds back to him. Whoever protected the seeds the best would become his wife.
The first maiden locked them in a safe to protect them. The second maiden sold the seeds at the market, thinking she would purchase new seeds when the king returned. The third maiden threw the seeds in the garden. When the king returned, the first maiden pulled the seeds from the safe where they had died due to lack of light, water, and air. The second maiden rushed to the market, purchased new seeds, and presented them to the king.
The King said that although the seeds were alive, they were not the same seeds. The third maiden brought him into the garden where there were many flowers blooming....

Flower Seed
Flowers have been grown and nurtured over years for personal and business purposes. A flower provides visual bliss in addition to a soothing aroma and an array of delightful colors. One can give cut flowers as gifts to celebrate events, express feelings or just grow them in a backyard.
It may sound strange when a botanist refers to singular divisions of a flower while referring to male and female reproductive organs. However, this is true.
Flowers are used as a reproductive organ only in certain angiosperms plants. A pistil is located in the center of a flower and it contains female organs. It has a rounded lower base, which is the ovary. These contain reproductive cells called ovule.
Pistils contain a style and a stigma, which are sticky. Pollen grains stick to the stigma through fertilization or pollination from insects, wind or other means.
This facilitates the development of pollen tubes inside the style, which navigate down to the ovary....

Hibiscus Plants
Hibiscus, the fascinating flowering tropical plant, had its origin in Asia. It has spread to several parts of the world and is among the most popular garden plants. Hibiscus are also grown for landscaping and as hedges. Today, there are thousands of known varieties of the shrub. Many are hybrids.
New types are still being discovered, bred and recorded. Sizes differ from less than 12 inches tall (Hibiscus trionum) to about 40 feet (Lagunaria patersonii). The life span of tropical hibiscus can be up to 50 years. In comparison, the hybrids have a shorter existence, approximately 10 to 15 years.
In the tropics, Hibiscus can be found thriving in the most difficult and desolate terrain.
Some plants are dense and bushy, while others are thin and tall. The biggest attraction of the Hibiscus plant is the flower. Hibiscus come in many colors and sizes, and in areas where the temperature is above 70 degrees, it flowers throughout the year.

Get that low APR mortgage fast!
Getting a mortgage is easier nowadays than it has ever been, although there are still one or two pointers you should always bear in mind when applying for a loan. Firstly, keep an eye on general interest rates - what you need to remember is that simply having a low rate does NOT make a bigger loan more 'affordable', you still have to pay off the money somehow at the end of the loan, and in these low-inflation times, a big loan now will still be a big loan in 20 years time! This is why 'interest...
