How long after planting out will my Zinnia flower?
Comments (17)Dale - any time you change the environment, the growing conditions, of a growing thing it is "set back", it must adjust. "Changing its growing conditions" includes transplanting at any stage, changing its soil, its air temps both day or night, its sun exposure, its nutrient levels, pinching/pruning, etc. If you are trying to force the blooms for some reason, if by 'better results' you mean faster blooming then the shortest time frame between seed and a bloom is with direct seeding the plant right where it will spend its life. Any other approach interrupts the growth process. Btw, there are many other methods of growing from seed besides the 2 listed above. I.e. winter-sowing with recycled containers, using a greenhouse, cold frame, or hoop house, frost-seeding, growing on a sunny windowsill, etc The 2 methods of growing from seed are direct seeding or growing under cover, what I mistakenly called "indoors". All the other methods you mention are under cover methods and all, even winter sowing, involve a change in the growing conditions.

Comments (8)I think it's against the law to post such a description AND a photo, and not include the recipe! I'll be happy to taste test this delectable pie every 15 minutes from 1:30 pm and onwards until serving time. Really, though, I think maybe put it in the fridge when you get up in the morning, and perhaps put it out on the counter for maybe an hour or even a bit less prior to serving, and it should be okay. No matter what, whether it's very chilly or perfect ,or partially chilly-firm, it will be wonderful! Smiles, Sooz...See Morehow long should lumber dry after milling?
Comments (6)Your post reminds me of a mistake I made years ago with some ancient Nova Scotia white pines logs I had, muffler. After having it sawn, I rented a garage and carefully stacked and stickered the whole lot with dreams of having beautiful wide boards the following year to panel my new house. Something didn't seem right when I came back in eight or nine months to take it to the planer. Seemed to be a dampness about it. As I worked down into the stack, my worry turned to horror as board after board had turned into mold farms, with slimy discoloration all over all but the ends. I forget how much I lost, but the moral is keep your eye on it once in a while. Don't make the foolish mistake I did ignoring the importance of proper circulation....See MoreShould DB kick his son out? Very long
Comments (52)wildchild, it sure does seem as though there must be some chemical imbalance that could explain DN's inability to ignore a sudden impulse, but they're frustrated because so far no combination of therapy and medication has been successful. No, DN has never been seen by an actual psychiatrist. He has seen a school psychologist, a regular psychologist and is on his third therapist (only because they were relocated to different cities). He did see a neurologist, but that doctor only evaluated him for his Cat Scan, it wasn't a psychological evaluation. So they are really looking forward to DN seeing the psychiatrist in a few weeks. DN seems to have a pretty normal social life. When he isn't grounded, his friends come over or he goes to one of their houses. They do the normal teenage stuff, movies, bowling, etc. He's between girlfriends right now. Some of his hobbies are playing guitar and writing music, woodworking and skateboarding. He has a pierced eyebrow and likes to wear funky suspenders, so I guess that would qualify for how he expresses himself? lori, yes my DB and DSIL know I'm asking my 'forum friends.' I've been keeping in touch with him regularly so I could ask about specific questions many of you have posed, since I didn't know the answers to all of them. I sincerely hope no one felt slighted after making a thoughtful suggestion, if I had to explain that it had already been examined and eliminated as a possibility. It's just that pretty much everything that has been brought to the table so far has already been explored except for the advice by a few posters that DB push for an M.R.I. (which DN has never had) just to rule out anything medical that may have been missed. DB and DSIL are basically all out of energy trying to figure this out and the appointment with the psychiatrist on June 5th can't come soon enough as far as they're concerned. You mentioned that since everyting seems to have been explored, what else could there be other than that DN is just choosing to do what he does. Believe me, DB has confided to me that at this point he doesn't know which he fears more...that there might really be something physiological wrong in DN's brain that is causing this behaviour, or that the psychiatrist will conclude DN is just some kind of master manipulator who by all appearances is a kind, loving son, brother and friend, but gets a weird kick out of acting deviant once in a while and pulling the wool over everyone's eyes by acting so contrite and ashamed afterwards! DB hasn't tried to put his son into military school because DN is well liked at his current school and gets good grades. He's already been to 5 different schools in as many cities, so they don't want to enforce another change unless it's the last hope. As well, DB feels that typically, military schols are best suited for young people who have problems with aggression or defiance, in other words, kids, who need a major attitude adjustment. DN is amiable, respectful, and kindhearted, so they actually don't want is attitude adjusted, just his behaviour. Your suggestion for some kind of alternative school or behavioural modification school is a good one and that will most likely be DB's choice of action, pending the psychiatrist's assessment. I will for sure let you all know what the psychiatrist concludes, because everyone has been so thoughtful in bringing forth anything they felt might be of help....See Morevelvet_sparrow
