We studied their history, and their impact on what is now the state of California. (At the time they were built, beginning in the late 1700's, the land was still owned by Mexico, since California did not enter U.S. statheood until 1850.)

20 years ago I was in the 4th grade, and even though it was a rather dismal school year for me, there were some good things that came out of it. Like studying the California missions...and even visiting one on a field trip (namely, the San Fernando mission, since it was closest) on Groundhog Day of that year with my class.

Also, each of us in the class was assigned to build a model of a specific mission; I had to build a model of the "San Francisco de Solano"; I used sugarcubes to build the walls, and wooden sticks to make the tile roofs.

Cool!
Lots of missions down in California.
Our church visits the mission here once a month and we siong songs and preach a gospel message. Sometimes my wife goes to help prepare set up tables for them to eat.

I went there on my first-ever train trip.

I studied and went there when I was in 4th grade, but don't remember anything.

When I went there, I was finishing the 5th grade. We visited the mission and walked around a bit. I took some pictures.

maybe from the picture right now, but that looks grassy, I cant keep anything grassy cool enough to look nice if it doesn't die on me.  It's going to be a field of snapdragons and lupine and a passion vine will be put on the trellis.  This left section in my current picture is my fall and winter part sun section.

This was our garden in July, but in spring it looks like your does, with a similar back wall too.

I think it looks beautiful too. 8)

We want to get ours to look beautiful someday, but it's a big work in progress that we haven't had the time or energy for. But we'll get to it at some point.

Thanks.

I should take some more pictures of our flower gardens (which like I said are a work in progress) and share them with the folks on here.

Who else is planning a garden for this summer?

Not me... but there is lots of work to be done in our backyard.

The weather is good to work on the yard now, in most places within the USA

^ I finally got a day of blue sky, but don't have any plants to be working with or the parts I need to build my shade structure.  Also, I'm going to be leaving with my family for that wedding.

wedding?
Enjoy. I haven't been to a wedding in years.

wedding?
Enjoy. I haven't been to a wedding in years.

I last went to one in early 2000. My second-cousin married a guy who turned out to be a cheater.

One of my other second-cousins (a guy) married a young woman who works in the field of medicine; this was almost two years ago...but I couldn't go because the wedding was in Reno and I had to stay home that weekend to take care of our dog. And study, because I was getting close to graduating at the time.

This will be my first, one of my cusions I dont see too often or know very well. 

This will be my first, one of my cusions I dont see too often or know very well. 

First wedding?
Cool.

Technically, my first wedding was when I was 3 months old, in my mom's tummy ;D

Needless to say, I don't remember much  :D

Yeah, I'm not sure how much of it I'm going to enjoy because my inability to hear any more makes me not want to be around people.  Something for me to work on.

I can understand it would make you feel quite uncomfortable to be around others.  :\'(

It breaks my heart just to smile and not know whats going on.  Doesn't seem I remember or understand ASL real well either, but then again I've always had to guess what my mom was talking about anyway.

I think she might've mentioned it a page or two ago, or on another thread.

I did somewhere  right now, I'm just putting down some lupine seeds and I have some snapdragon seeds. I'm going to build a shade cover and get a passion vine, gazanias, and dragon trees.  Also some lantana and verbena for the butterflies to eat.

Who else is planning a garden for this summer?


We expect to have to do loads of work on ours when we move back.  Dai and I were making some plans the other day (depending on what we find).

In the front of the house we left it with a rather rickety wooden fence which we'd like to replace with a brick wall.  Behind the fence were several spiky spindly shrubs that we will dig up and a sparse lawn that we will dig up and replace with gravel.  Also we had a beech hedge just starting to develop.  The hedge was planted in 2002 (January 27th to be precise).  If we are lucky it will just need a bit of a trim.  If we are unlucky it will now be a row of small beech trees andw e'll need to cut them all down and start again.

sounds wonderful.

^ hope it works, these are all plants that should do fine in both summer and winter here.  If it doesn't work out then I'm going to create a raised bed and grow tomatoes and parsley.  I ought to consider doing that anyway.

I have a lupine starting to flower with hot pink flowers.  this is a different variety and there is a reddish/pink color, but hot pink? cool :D   

I hope our tomatoes grow this year. No far the mint is spreading like crazy, as it usually does. Some perennials are coming up. We have some chives, and strawberries should be flowering soon.

I'm going to grow me some tomatoes and stuff like that.  The lupine that is flowering is against the fence and behind a snapdragon.  that tells me all flowers will be grown under the shade thing I'm building (3 4x8 lattis).  The rest I'll do some raised beds.  You know my dad has three raised beds?  don't know what he's planting.

Lately we've been planting some new flowers in our backyard and frontyard.

cool I'm not quite sure what my garden is going to look like or whats going to come up and look good.  Have to consider the 7 feet of space that get less then 6 hours of sun when October comes.  If I put the shade cover in the center of my garden, I'd have about two feet in which I have to make sure they can take part sun otherwise they'll eventually die.  Both lupine and snap are full to part sun, guess just throwing the seeds down to see what would happen was the best move I could make so far.

Wow. I need to read up on planting to know what's best for the seasons.

Also, I see you've placed a row butterflies in the sig line. Very nice. :)

Our strawberry plant has flowers now, so they will be coming soon. Too bad I can't eat any, I'm allergic.

the buckeye butterfly is on my hand.  When I worked the green house at Modesto Junior College, there we a bunch of males looking for females.  These are all in Stanislaus County and my pictures.  Only the cabbage white and the west coast lady was taken in my backyard though.

Why are you allergic?

If I eat them, I get a rash.

http://gardening.about.com/od/gardendesign/qt/SunExposure.htm.  Also, zone maps are easy to find on the web.  AHS summer heat USDA winter hardiness.  Thats it for the reading

I have a hard time figuring out what host plants will work because most places will give you the common name.  You wouldn't know if they mean the one from the rose family or another family.

you know what,  I don't really have garden plans and everything gets to hot in summer.  I've lts plants because they got fluded from rain.  I've been spending way to long trying to plan something and I don't think it's going to work anyway.

Have you done any other planting in the past week or so?

I ought to take some pictures again.

I ought to take some pictures again.

Yeah, so do I. I love having a digital camera.

The problem is, since last month I haven't had anything to take pictures of, nor have I gone to any events where I'd be inclined to take pictures.

I've been trying to get everything to flower and look pretty.  I'm putting them out in more sun to flower now, but hope they aren't going to end up all dead in the summer.  I have a not flowering honeysuckle that would probably like to be moved into more sun and my potato bush makes me mad no matter where I move it.  I think I'm going to just kill it because I cant figure out what to do with it.

Well I love the flowers you currently have in your sig line. Very picturesque. :) O0

yeah so far so good, but that's only a small bit of my 15'.  The gerbera gets hot and it's stem droops at about 4:00.  I can make it come back with more water but think it would probably like some shade for summer I've been thinking about gazanias and I should be able to put a couple around the gerbera daisy.  I've got a small pot of lantana shading it right now and the gerbera daisy is fine.  If the wind isn't crazy tomorrow, I got a few more little things to do.

^ A parody fragment? Nice work. I've written some of my own, just never could make a full parody around any of them.

I've been unable to complete a parody for a long long time.  I think my interest to do them might come back to me as I get my CI and if not parodies or fragments, something I can record.

It got hot in downtown L.A. today, so when I went home on the Amtrak train this afternoon, it felt so great to be in an air-conditioned train. I could sit back and relax on the way home. The train I normally ride on, the Metrolink, is air-conditioned as well, but not as cool or comfy.

When it's very hot,I look forward to an air conditioned place.

I have a ton of weeds.  I kind of let them grow because there's nothing else growing.  I think this is the tallest I've seen those amaranths get.  Think I'll go out and take a july picture.  lost my gazanias, but have one potted.

buy the way, since I don't mind the weeds growing there, I guess I should find the name for then.  A weed is a term for something you don't want.

No, not really.

My hearing is pretty good.

So is mine, but there was a period of time in my life (mainly in my teen years) when I was afraid it would go bad, due to exposure to certain loud noises. But I knew all along that it was just fine. This is why I chose to do my health report on the topic. I'm just sensitive to loud noises, that's all.

I wish some people would do that with their Walkmans or Ipods or any of those other portable listening devices. They sometimes turn it so loud so that others around 'em can hear it, which is inconsiderate. Plus, it can't be good for their ears at all.

Violets got too much sun? It happens to us too, leaves get burnt..not good for violets, we never let them get direct sunlight.

I don't have any Violets, african daisies Osteospermum different families.  I have one gazania flowering because it's in a pot and I put it at the side of the house in the shade to keep it's foilage green.  I also have a little lantana with nice green foilage, but no flowers.  My dad is doing tomatoes and corn.  The corn he gave me is just stunted.  I'm going to take advantage of our fall planting season and grow some pumpkins.  As well as getting me that passion vine.

Howard: Fried African daises are flowers, you know...
You...um...eat lots of flowers?

flower is in lots of foods

I still don't know how to do Photoshop. :-\\

I still haven't a clue how to do a lot of the tricks I can probably do with  Pantshop Pro.  usually just use it to resize the picture when I'm done putting it together on paint.

and yes  I've raised rabbits and hares.  They wouldn't eat the carrot, just the top.

Yeah, I often use MS Paint as well. Sometimes in my spare time I've used it to play around with images I find online. I've also used MS Photo Editor, which you can do some really neat things with.

That seems strange that they wouldn't eat the carrot itself. :-\\ I wonder why that is??

Our rabbits and hares loved grape leaves too. 

Give me 5 6!


6 what?

6 what?

6 rabbits? six hats? 6 carrots?
