Barb this is a feeling I believe we all share and have in common who come here. Shawn you make me roflmao. I know I should OT my POTD if they are not brug related ha ha ha but I figured by now everyone knows it could be ANYTHING . Love the way you think lol If it has another name, I had to label this one too so I would not forget so either Rigo can answer it of someone else...Karyn are you around? ;-) Kylie you do know once we are UNDER 50 things look up REAL GOOD! ha ha ha I should know cause when I hit 50 everything went sour roflmao Kylie one more thing. There is really NO WAY one can love any specific plant that was shared. We love and treasure them ALL. I am sure. But got to start somewhere. I just looked at all the cuttings that I DID safe by bringing all of them in the house and attached is a friendship that will grow with the Brug. Caren so glad the snow melted for ya. Well I see you all after my little treasure hunt lol. Going shopping now. Lucy

If LED were a rope you would give your citrus enough light to pull it out of a deep dark hole. I think all the points above have merit but they are just looking at it from a different angle. Most northern citrus indoors are deprived of light and the more the better if your goal is to actively grow during the winter months, but 24/7 light is not good either. Two interesting articles I found researching this subject https://www.cropking.com/blog/light-greenhouse-how-much-enough https://www.gardenista.com/posts/13-things-nobody-tells-you-grow-indoor-citrus-trees-lemon-lime/#:~:text=Yes%2C%20citrus%20trees%20can%20have%20too%20much%20light.,a%20vegetative%20state.%E2%80%9D%20Think%20of%20them%20as%20sleep-deprived. The ideal for Cannabis is suppose to be 12/12 flower and 18/6 veg. Looking for ideal ratios for Citrus. My suggestion is if a citrus tree is brought indoors and you are using a 12/12 schedule and the tree is dropping leaves, particularly when the lights are turned off than I would start to increase the length of light. Keep an eye on leaf temperature for signs that the plant is getting stressed. Unfortunately comparing one persons light to another's light setup is like comparing apples to bananas. The hours of sunlight in the wintertime in zone 8 or 9 is very different than the amount and quality sunlight in zone 4-6 and it depends on the month. When you read articles on citrus you really have to parse the information and weigh and measure objectively because their situation may not be the same as your situation.

Hello j9sgarden, so as for other symptoms I also had discharge that I thought was Bacterial Vaginosis. I don’t do well with antibiotics and I heard this can also rectify itself. It just was not. Also I had lost my sister this past summer and had to move in with my mother and brother to help us all cope with her loss. So my issues took a back seat. We were all grieving. I started noticing the cramps were getting worse. I was getting flooding during my period for a couple days which I also researched on the web happens to some women during perimenopause with the hormone fluctuations. I was getting my period around every 45 days or so. So there was just a lot of stress in my life and I started researching doctors and finally settled on one though I was so apprehensive and nervous about the appt. Of course the morning I was to go my flooding/period came on full force. The doctor was amazing and still wanted to do a pelvic exam. She spotted the large mass right away and sent me directly to the ER. I was there 15 hrs had 4 pelvic exams and flooded through each one. It was not a good day. They ended up doing a biopsy while I was there. I was beyond frightened during all of it. They basically said it was cancer and a large mass but needed to find out what kind. Since then it has been a roller coaster ride of scans and procedures of not knowing exactly what I was facing. I still have a PET SCAN on the Nov 26. This week we set up and prepare the radiation treatments. I get the tiny tattoos they use to make sure they get the exact areas to treat. I will get radiation 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Every Monday of those 5 weeks I will also get Chemo. The chemo increases/helps the radiation work better. There are 3 different nausea drugs taken on different schedules to really eliminate nausea. They say I may lose some hair but it will be minimal. My chemo drug is Cisplatin. They will also do some radiation internally but start doing it from the outside first. It will fry the ovaries so I will immediately go into menopause. I hope this sheds some light on symptoms and what made me finally go to the doctor. Any other questions I am glad and open to answering. But like I said please just find a Womens Clinic and check any and every concern you may have. Mine was cervical cancer your may not be. But a dedicated womens clinic will make sure you get a thorough examination. Take care ladies.

Wow, your kitchen looks beautiful! I love your stacked cabinets with the glass doors on top, as well as those gorgeous counters. Having the stone surround for the sink set into the walnut was a great idea. I can't wait to see more pictures. What are you doing for the backsplash?
