we are in zone 8b

94087 is zone 8B according to this
zipzone website

Peony works in zone 3 to 9. So we are covered, theoretically.

local gardener's blogis interesting, worth to read sometimes. She recommended using "liquid fish emulsion" as fertilizer, one of reasons is it never over-fertilizing. That would be great for me after I killed the other beans as well as causing all the yellow leaves of the surviving beans by feeding them too much food. As she had the exact same observation as well:

"I have found that sometimes chemical fertilizers will burn foliage or roots, especially if applied on a hot day."


AND, SHE USED REAL FISH FOR HER GARDEN TOO! Let's hit fish deli in ranch99.

A few other things:

talking about "Peony"

offshore deep sea drilling :-)

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080618/offshore_oil.html

Interesting stuff. :-) Since Mr. Bush is pushing congress to allow
offshore drilling...

Should we buy oil drilling company stocks? Is it too late?
Is oil price too high to think about it? Is alternative
energy gonna replace oil soon????? Is China/India's economy
gonna cool down to have less oil demand????

We believe in money! We believe in pig feet! Hahahahah
(I am definitely gonna order that pig feet...)

cheetah's monopoly

刚才看"Mutal of Omaha of the Wild Kingdom" on Animal Planet.

讲在非洲有两片联着的地盘...一片由一对cheetah兄弟patrol. 另外一片由一只cheetah
patrol...后来它们三个cheetah在领地交界处商量了一下, 决定组成三cheetah联合...
共同patrol这两片地盘...结果hunting效率大大提高...三个cheetah都不挨饿了...

原来cheetah也懂得monopoly

tech discussion on blog/comments

One big problem I have with blogspot (here) is comments are not obvious. You have to click each post title to see all comments listed together in the same page with the original post.

And, we cannot subscribe to comments (only posts can be subscribed). So I might miss comments. There are comments notification emails, maybe we should use that?

==> WE SHOULD USE THAT. Just tested, and it works. I've added all five of us in Settings->Comments->'comment notification email'. If you don't want to receive those emails, please remove yourself from the list there.

Besides that, blogspot seems to work fine.

Ok, here comes my first post

大家都很风雅，于是俺的第一贴决定讨论：。。。

猪脚！！！

hi, invited three more

good news from sewing machine

3 bags done.
Ready to go if you don't mind the details. Basic rule of owning a J-bag: ignore the details, ignore the loosing threads (will accept repairs if bag breaks), ugly edges and uneven lines and etc...

Let's open a topic for peony

My peonies stop growing for more than three months. I am worried now ...

How about Liu Fangs's peonies?

I searched internet and there are a lot of posts said "4—6月为生长发育旺盛时期".

Any idea will be appreciated.

good news from my backyard.

The flower gift from Xiao Zhu has been successively split into THREE pots. I saw the new sprout growing up around the old root. Yah !!!

(Notice: You can see a little green bud in the whole brown background)

Also the treasure tree from Liu Fang has survived and I split them into five pots! Yah Yah Yah !!!

I am expecting in the following weeks, Xiao Zhu and Liu Fang will get them. :-)
