Insufficient grounds for marriage IMHO.

Apparently my male friends are different from yours...married and single both.

mystery spirea--did I do a bad, bad thing?
Q
Comments (4)
You're in Michigan? In some parts of Ohio, spirea are late to leaf out this year b/c of the unusally cold early spring. I have several varieties (Anthony Waterer, Magic Carpet, Little Princess and Goldmound), all of which have pink flowers of different shades. Only the Goldmounds are covered in leaves, and that has only occurred within the last 48 hours. The others are only now starting to show some signs of life and only a little at that--but I know they'll kick in to gear once we have consistently warmer temps. Spirea (except for one or two not mentioned--can't recall the names but they have white flowers), can be cut back pretty hard without damaging them. They can get a little out of control and taking off even more than 50% helps to rejuvinate them. As for flowering, I have found that deadheading (pinching off the bloom) shortly before the blooms completely fade away and occassional light pruning through the season increases repeat, more profuse blooms.

My Whisper bush might be even nicer than this, but the midge damage is heartbreaking. The bush is very large and covered with buds, but most of them look awful. wahhhhh! Now and then, a really nice bloom comes through. But Whisper could be another good white otherwise.

Too many ES blooms a bad thing?
Q
Comments (3)
It is my understanding that excessive blooming only *really* taxes the plant when they are first tranplanted. While new transplants are trying to establish a root system and pump out flowers at the same time, that is when root establishment might be compromised. It sounds like yours has been in the ground since last year so it shoudl be fairly well established. Enjoy those gorgeous flowers! We just moved in to a new house in the late fall and I planted 20+ Es and FE&E this spring. They are flowering like mad! (Probably more on the ES than the FE&E, but time will tell.) I thought about pinching back some of the flowers, but they are just too heavenly. I'm hoping that the "water infrequently but deeply" mantra will help get the roots nice and happy despite all the energy the plants are putting in to the blooms. :)

Take it out of the wet soil, and leave out to dry. Now I live in Sunny So. Calif. I wouldn't plant it until April 1. If you have any humidity, it will grab that moisture from the air to live on. We are very dry here where I live our humidity is about 22% and that is why we have so many fires in our hills. April 1 the corms,roots, can be replanted and they will grow. Don't give up on the plant. The roots are like those of an Iris corm. Adjust this to where you live. Norma

If you know what's in God's mind, why would you care about the opinions of anyone here?

I don't see anything terribly wrong with getting hitched for the purposes of resolving loneliness as long as there is affection and mutual respect in the union. Do you have sincere loving feelings for your betrothed or are you just looking for a cook, maid, night-time companion?

How does your intended feel?

I really don't get that lonely but I am an only child. I fear the future like you would not believe when my already very small immediate family starts shrinking. I am trying to prepare myself for that eventuality but I don't know how I will handle it.

Barn, my fiance does not know how to cooks or how to be a maid either, but we believed that if we love, care, and respect for each other everything we can handle. I know there is a heavy price to pay, if one value selfish too much.

getting good deals on travel as a single is not easy, just try to boook a cruise and go alone. they have this thing called a single suppliment, where you pay them more to have a cabin by yourself instead of another guest they have to feed and serve for the trip. the extra charge is almost as much as the cost of the 2nd person too.

Hey mike_73, I've traveled alone for sightseeing tours and you can get a roommate on these types of tours and save yourself some money. I've never had a problem with any roommate I've ever had on a trip.

If it is a tour group they usually give the contact info of the other person and let the two email or call each other to resolve and differences like "early riser/night owl" or "smoker/non-smoker". If the other person sounds reasonable you book a double room. You get two beds and share the bath. You don't have to "hang out" with the person.

Ask your travel agent or tour operator about it.

I have had 4 great adventures and have shared a room with 4 strangers. I met the best one before, the other's were complete strangers. I've never had a problem with any. I would never pay for a single supplemental for a cruise, but I would for a nature trip if that was only way I could go.
