In the red fern grows, how does billy catch his first coon?

~*KIMMIE*~....



Check in chapters 7 or 8. Billy's grandfather teaches him to make a trap into which he places a bright shiny object and some nails at an angle. For several days it doesn't work, no coon, but when the human scent finally wears off, he catches one! (the coon reaches in for the shiny object and when he tries to hold the object AND lift his paw out, it is caught on the nails.)



hope that helps!!! :-)

puts up trap, put scarecrow(as decoy as himself) waits until the coon comes out, and trap snatches it, and dogs go get it(if he bought them yet)

"Mosses are one of the first land plants.Which adaptations allowed them to live outside water?"?
Similar to the first answer, mosses do not live out of water, they only thrive in moist, shady conditions. If this conditions change, the moss dies eventually.

Ferns again, one of the first real plants, and very simple in their make up. They spread by spores, not seeds which may add to their prevalence.

Maybe it's because not only do moss have to

live in moist places, but also in shady places.

How can I keep my boston ferns green?

this is a potted plant

How can I keep my boston ferns green?
If the fern is in your house, try giving it a little vacation outside for the summer. It will need a shady place, like a covered porch or patio. Sometimes the fresh outside air works wonders for a plant that's been inside for months. Make sure it is well-watered but not soggy. You might need to repot it into a larger pot if it is rootbound or you find the soil dries out too quickly. Give it a diluted fertilizer; sometimes I find that feeding every week with a very dilute liquid plant food (plenty of nitrogen) works better than a stronger solution less often. Mist the leaves, especially if you live in a dry area. I live north of San Francisco, and I have potted ferns on my porch. When we have our usual morning fog, my ferns don't need additional misting, but in our recent heatwave, they've needed a bit of help.
Reply:I've not had much success with boston ferns because they like very moist conditions to grow in, and my homes were dry, especially in the winter.

So the solution is they must be misted with a fine spray couple times a day. Careful about overwatering. They like moist, warm conditions.
Reply:Boston ferns can actually be a little on the fussy side. In the summer, they like a shady location and planty of water. They also like to be misted with a spray bottle of water daily. In the winter, move them to a bright. indirect light location. ( keep misting ....) Also, don't forget to fertilize with a basic fertilizer. They love it!
Reply:water the fern daily, especially if it is outside. Ferns also like shade.


We just found out they are going to tent our apt for termites...can we leave any of our plants?

the main ones are a ficus, snake plants and some ferns.

They are heavy and we have no where to put them!

We just found out they are going to tent our apt for termites...can we leave any of our plants?
Yes you can leave your plants. Sounds like you have a drywood termite problem in your building. As far as I know, there are really no pesticides that kill plants as they are designed to affect the biology of the insect.
Reply:Yep, actually it's good for the plants. Will kill any bugs in them too.

Seems like its just a plant like ferns or wandering jew. I mean as long as you are not making pot out of them, is it still against the law.

What can I grow under high acid fir/cedar trees?

What I know I don't want are ferns (i live in the NW, we have plenty) or an invasive vine or any kind of ground cover that spreads out of control...or for that matter, bamboo. Ideally I'm looking for perennials that add color. multiple suggestions that I can place together would be great. Thanks

What can I grow under high acid fir/cedar trees?
Hostas thrive about anywhere and hydrangeas would work - the acidity in the soil will determine what color they come out.
Reply:Azaleas, rhododendrons (they want some sun, however). Be careful of the tree's root system, however.
Reply:Camellias

What kind of weather are ferns good to plant in? Are they an all year plant?

Living in S.C. my ferns do die out in winter, they like shade, mine are in sun so I have to water them every other day, they require it. Come spring they jump right back to life. Pretty much any climate that is not to cold and ferns will thrive...

What kind of weather are ferns good to plant in? Are they an all year plant?
Ferns are year round plants. They are also shade loving plants so dont plant them in direct sunlight. If you plant them before a rain then maybe you wont have to water them. They like humidity also so if you are having a dry spell you can mist them to give the humidity they need.


Are there other books that are like Marley and Me?

I am reading it right now, so please don't give spoilers.



Are there other (adult) novels about friendship with pets? I heard Where the Fern Grows is a great one. I know it's a kids book but I want to check it out. I think Because of Win-Dixie is another good kid's one.

How many watts for a 55 gallon for java fern and gava moss?

hi i have a 55 gallon tank with two floresent light bulbs side by side one is a power-glow and the other is some weird brand but would java fern or java moss grow in that. I dont want to get a new light set up or any of that stuff buy i would get new bulds (18in) or what kind of floresent bulbs would work? and if your going to tell me that i need a new hole set up dont bother!

How many watts for a 55 gallon for java fern and gava moss?
java moss and java fern grow easily in most light just get some fluresent tube lights and run them for a hour a day and your plants will be fine
Reply:Java moss and fern are pretty low light plants. They will grow OK under almost any sort of light.



Just get some and try it out. Run the lights for 10-12 hours a day and those plants should grow fine.



Ian
Reply:With those two plants, you can pretty much choose your lights based on how they make things look to you in the tank - they are definitely not picky about light.



When you do go to replace your bulbs, I would suggest that you broaden your search pattern a bit.... Don't confine yourself to looking in pet stores. You can get daylight fluorescent bulbs dirt cheap at place like Home Depot. All you need to do is get the right length and diameter. (Easy task there, they only come in a few different diameters)



I prefer to keep the lights on 12 hours a day, but you really don't have to. I had tossed some Java Moss in a half filled 10g tank on the floor when I was tearing down a tank, and I forgot about it. There was no light on the tank and the room was unused so the only light was what came in thru the window with the blinds closed. I was pretty surprised when I saw that after a month the moss had kept growing.



You've chosen probably the best plants possible, IMHO, for a low light, no hassle tank.



Just remember - don't bury the rhizome (thick part that the leaves come off of) of the Fern - they *hate* that. :)



If you decide to add more plants later, here is a list of plants that will thrive in low light: http://www.plantgeek.net/plantguide_list...

Why is it people love side bets here in the US?

Been to the Billiards Club of Louisville in Fern Creek, Kentucky at 5404 Bardstown Road. Can't say much for these big time players. Breezed through them. A lot of people taken side bets. Why is this and what other kinda bets are there? What is stint action?Still ain't nobody can beat me in the best of 21 racks in 8 Ball or 9. IIlinois watch out.

Why is it people love side bets here in the US?
After you leave Illinois, (if you still have any cash - no checks please) the next state west is Missouri. Missouri is called "The Show Me" state. Throw your brag around all you want but you'll have to show us here in mighty Mo.

By the way Julia and Rhonda said they're ready. In fact Suki Cooper wants a call when you're in town. We call this South Korean warrior Samurai Suki around here. She slices and dices her opponents into itty-bitty pieces.

Write it down - Cue %26amp; Cushion, Overland, St. Louis County.



Hey Johnny, I know $100 isn't much but if you want to lay off half let me know. He may not have any travelling money left after leaving Illinois and Missouri.

Reply:Side bets can sometimes determine the winner, if its setup for someone to make the side bet, and depending on what

will interest the player, he may even throw the game, as long as he makes money on the game.

It is unfortunate, but not really, that pool is about winning money, and not winning the game.

you went to some town in Kentucky, and now you think you are going to illinois, and kick some butt?.

All I can say is good luck my friend as you will need it.

Go and play In Chicago, go play some one pocket, even your games of 8 and 9, and you will gain some experience. You will say well, at least I learned some things, and everything is not lost. But yes go in there cocky, they will love You there.

I do have to tell you, a word of good advice, and that is, make sure of your surroundings, before you start opening your mouth, or start winning, and when you come back, let us Know How you did, I wish you Health and Luck.
Reply:side betting lets the nobodys and knits that hang around pool halls today get in the action. its real big around here to have more money bet on the side, than the actual game itself. The Carolina's ( thats South and North ) have a wide variety of great players i would be more than glad to give you names and address to find all the action you want down here
Reply:There is also a place called Secrets in Shreveport, LA they will welcome your money...errr competitive spirit I mean. You'll find it on Jewella Ave off I-20
Reply:Ram has a good idea ask for Scotty or Shipwreck.



Good Luck

ps you'll need it

Sounds odd coming from TheFLowerLady, but can a LeatherLeaf Fern grow well indoors?

I bought a sickly one on clearance ($2) and now it is huge and healthy on my front porch, in it's original 1-gallon plastic pot. Problem is, we get gale-force winds (50mph+ on a GOOD day) and they are unbelievably dry. We're scheduled for them to start this afternoon/evening. I want to bring my fern in so it doesn't dry out or blow away but need to know what it will need to remain healthy indoors. Thanx.

Sounds odd coming from TheFLowerLady, but can a LeatherLeaf Fern grow well indoors?
It will need to be in an area that gets light.Also spritz with water at least once a week with tepid water.Don't let it dry out.Also don't let leaves touch furniture etc.If you can buy a fern stand.


How do I keep birds from building nests in my hanging ferns?

The "green friendly" way is to simply check the baskets for nesting materials and remove them by hand. Eventually, the birds give up. You may also try small shiny pinwheels in the planters that move in the breeze and frighten the birds. It also looks festive. I have had this problem before, it is a nuisance.

How do I keep birds from building nests in my hanging ferns?
I happen to be a bird lover and love the fact that birds procreate. It's part of nature! I, myself, would welcome the little family of birds!



But, since you asked, I suppose you could construct some sort of scarecrow and place it in the yard, or hang an owl figure in the hanging fern, if that's possible. That would be the humane way to go.



I am sure, even before I glance, that someone on this site is going to tell you to shoot the birds. But I would not only not suggest this, but say shame on you to the inhumane people that find laughter in someone's serious question.
Reply:Spray them with 7 dust.
Reply:I was told to use moth balls. After a few waterings, they will disappear.

It worked for me.
Reply:Probably can't . If it bothers you, just keep removing nest material . I've had birds nest in hanging plants several times , %26amp; it never hurt the plant . They never stayed for more than 4-5 weeks , so is only temporary . Some birds are very particular , as to elevation of their nest . You could try changing the height of the basket. Not likely to work, but might .

TX Cowboy , "Spray it with sevin"??????



*rolls eyes in a "Lord help me." moment*

Where to start?

1) Sevin is an insecticide , so not meant for birds . - %26amp; they won't know it's toxic %26amp; get the message that they're supposed to move . ;D

2) Poisoning birds is generally not a good thing,( %26amp; won't get you points for good advice )

3) The fern is probably coming back into the house when summer's over . Sevin probably never going to make anybody's list of "Household Items You Can't Live Without "

4) The white dust all over it, might detract from the fern's ornamental value ..... Maybe.

5) Sevin isn't the cure-all, be-all-end-all , alpha %26amp; omega, solver of all the world's problems . (That several people I know think it is ;D) Just use it for it's intended purposes.(as labeled)
