Hobbies? Other than aquariums

[OrionGirl]

Reading, some writing. Gardening, camping, hiking, fishing...And lately, painting.

I also have a small collection of kites--but it's typically too windy here to fly them.

Music (listening to and playing), reading, drawing, cross stitching (getting close to finishing my big tiger and cubs one ), animals of all sorts, gussying up anyone who will let me (hair, makeup, nails, fun stuff ) and some other things which currently escape me...

for all you gardeners out there can I ask what your favorite flowers/plants/shrubs are?

I'm into (forums I'm on)
home audio/car audio (elitecaraudio.com, sounddomain.com, audiogon.com, harmonicdiscord.com, audioreview.com, madisound.com)
fitness/working out (wannabebig.com, ironcalves.com, avantlabs.com)
investing (real estate/stocks/funds/small businesses)
and I'm currently caught up in fantasy football

Since you asked ... spring bulbs! I love tulips, daffodils, and crocus the most. Maybe its because I need those early flowers after a harsh Minnesota winter.

Flowers--Moss roses, snap dragons, and columbine are my favorites plants--hardy, tolerant of sun and shade, and don't need to be watered constantly--plus they keep coming back from seed, year after year, in a riot of colors. I like many others, but most of them are babies that require constant attention to thrive out here, while these three seem to do well no matter what.

Shrubs--currents and dwarf lilacs.

I'm currently re-doing the landscaping (such as it was) in the front and back yards of my house. I'll be tearing out all of the various grasses in the front, putting down rock and yucca, along with whiskey barrels for annual flowers. In the backyard, it's mostly weeds, and I'm putting in 3 small beds, one for irises and gladiolas, another for lillies, and a third with peonies and roses. Then, a bed that is along the base of the deck with thyme, moss roses, and areas for annuals. The open areas are going to be planted with gramma grass--a native grass that stays short and is very hardy/drought tolerant. Some currents and lilacs are going in around the edges to cover the dog run fencing and disguise a serious slope on one end.

I gots a Mokal Fokus VX. Only up grade right now is 12" smart parts barrel, but im planning on getting an air system for it. Im too poor for all that fancy stuff u guys have lol.

 

[Shaz]

Writing, music, cross stitching, graphical manipulation and animation, reading (I'm a serious book worm!! ) Egyptology, using and abusing the internet and other stuff i cant think of right now!!!!

Some, I would just keep running CO2 on it, the Mokals run much better on it. Barrels should always be your first upgrade, and its hard to go wrong with any of the ones Smart Parts offers. I would suggest the next upgrade you get be a motorized hopper, doesn't have to be a Halo or Evo 2, but a Ricochet AK or VL Revolution would be a great asset. It will keep up with the gun, and you won't have to worry about misfeeds.

Re gardening favorites - the lowest-upkeep perenneals, daylilies, ballon flowers, anemones, sedums, etc.; a few lilies/amaryllids that are work to set but lasting, foxtails (Eremurus, Lycoris), and some hardy Alliums; some vines - trumpet vines and Clematis; and my major madness - Bananas - see:
