Yeah I thought they were the  California Giants...  Yes powdery midlew is their friend.  Will use the Immunox when I plant them next year (my official first year as an adult that I will have my own yard!)

This has been a tough year for flowers and for me. Here's what can happen if you nudge them along with Miracle-Gro and good potting mix and lots of TLC:

Wow, I don't know how tall those flowers are supposed to get but it appears that the Miracle-Gro did wonders.

They're supposed to get 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. I thought about cutting one off and taking it to the store and showing it to them and demanding a refund. :-D

 

You can't imagine how much water they take when they get that big!

Gorgeous!!

Thank you! I think the flowers are pretty nice, too. :-)

Haha. Take one back to the store and tell them you're upset because you didn't anticipate them to knock out a power line in last night's wind storm.

Never posted a pic on this site since I've been on it for 9ish years.  Figured I would try here, and bump an old thread at the same time.  With all the new development going on in the CLE, I would like to try my part in photo documenting it.  So here go's!

Well, it's there, but quite a large picture of me!

are you crouching in a cardboard box?

Nice touch on the Ohio map in the background.  :-)

I see your cardboard box and raise you a shower curtain.

No

<--This is Bruce Campbell

I will take Bruce Campbell any day. My sister's mother-in-law a year or so ago told me I looked like Rick Santorum like it was supposed to be a compliment.

Exactly how many corpses do you have in your basement?

I was thinking the same thing...

Your photo reminds me of being the smallest kid in my 7th grade giant photo (like well over 100 kids), and in order to balance out the photo they put me in the front row with the special education kids in wheel chairs.  It was super-embarrassing. 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I feel sorry for the special education kids too. They're too good for you.

You look totally fine in that picture. 

@eastvillagedon Painesville was an incredibly diverse place in 1964. Rare for Northeast Ohio, especially then. Cool picture!

I still vaguely remember the day the picture was taken. The photographer was named Robert Barbian. I think that year was maybe his first in business. He pretty much eventually had the entire school picture business, at least in the eastern half of Lake County, sewn up. I found out that he worked until a few years ago, and passed away fairly recently in his early 80's. I know of at least 3 classmates in the picture who have also passed away, including the boy standing next to me with his head at an angle. He was a transfer student (can't remember from where). I recall him telling everyone he was a descendant of a family on the Mayflower (I didn't know at the time that about half of America claims that! LOL). And at the time I was too young to have quipped that with a pedigree like that, how he ended up in such a crummy neighborhood as ours.  Anyway I did a search on him a couple of years ago and discovered he had died away in Hawaii (in his mid-50's), where he was working as an engineer, having lived in the south (attending the U. of Alabama) and in Colorado. No reason given for his death. And the girl in the vertical striped skirt two to my left also died. She was one of the nicest people in my class throughout high school. I still remember everyone's name. It was also the first year as a teacher for Miss Mason, who had just graduated from Lake Erie College. She remained at the school until it closed, about 10 years ago (demolished and replaced by a new one in a different location). Mason was from Louisville, KY whose father, as she told us, was a Kentucky Colonel (I don't know what the requirements are for this distinction, but I also remember someone from college--also from Louisville--who constantly boasted that his father was a KC and he was an arrogant, privileged ass). This was also the class of people I was with when I first heard of the assassination of JFK,  the previous November. Our school didn't have a PA system (did they have them anywhere in 1964?), so the principal went from room to room announcing that JFK had been shot (to audible gasps) and then later in the afternoon that he had died. Everyone gathered around the flag in front of the school at the end of the day for an observance of that event.
