This and That

 Here's a blast from the past,  1935 to be exact.   I'm quite sure none of us were around just yet but I remember those shoes. Anyone else remember them?

 


I went to the Dollar store today and bought Hydrogen Peroxide . I'm taking Ellabie's advice and treating my houseplants to a drench of one part Hydrogen Peroxide to 4 parts water. This should kill not only the fungus gnats but also their larvae.  I also mixed up a weaker mix to fill a spray bottle to keep on hand in case some gnats survived the treatment. I hope it works.



 Today's teacup

Thanks for visiting,  GM

    These three girls are up-to date-again! Such kind of shoes with small socks would be a great sucess today, too!

    I have heard of the peroxide treatment, but have not tried it myself. I hope it will work. That ad from 1935 -- that's the year my husband was born. Just turned 87.

    GM, please do let us know how this treatment works for you!! I'd be scared to death to put hydrogen peroxide on plants, but I'm willing for you to try, haha! I hope it works, and it would be wonderful if it did. I often need a treatment like that too (for my plants).

    Styles keep coming around, don't they? I've not heard of the peroxide treatment for gnats, but I'll pass it on to my daughter who has some on her plants.

    I had black and white saddle shoes. Great memories. So at the risk of sounding not too smart. You water the plants with 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water. How often do you use this mixture?
    Another pretty teacup, you have so many!
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

    My sisters and I wore all-white Oxfords to school all through the primary grades. When I was 20 I was all set to buy a pair of brown-and-white ones, but for various reasons my plan failed. They are classic, for sure.

    I'm going to write that peroxide recipe in my garden journal because the gnat problem happens here sometimes, too.
