What Clems Do You Dislike?
Comments (39)It's so true that growing conditions make a huge difference. My climate is similar to buyorsell888 but a little warmer. We have many days over 80°, but few over 90°. Our nights remain cool. My tomato plants have been blooming for 3 weeks, but haven't set any fruit because that requires nighttime temps over 50° and we have only had one of those so far. I hard prune all my type II's after they finish blooming and get good rebloom later in the year....See MoreDo you have a plant budget and how do you track?
Comments (9)I collect tropicals and I like rare plants. I don't really keep track. I will go 3 mos without buying any then splurge a little when I find something 'good' lol. I know what I do and do not have...sometimes finding it is a different story lol. Chickens like to pull tags off of plants and out of the pots, so some of my older stuff like dragonfruits, I don't know which variety is which, but I know I have 8 different ones and I know the names of which varieties I bought haha. I have started using paint pens on all the pots and UV resistant marker and tree tags or metal tags on the taller plants so they can't get removed so easily. I spent way too much on water plants this spring but I hardly bought anything all winter so.... The seedlings that I have kept careful track of (ones I used paint pens on the pots) are my brugmansia seedlings and other hybridizing projects. I also use a spreadsheet so I know who begat whom on those. I usually give myself 3 times to kill something before I give up. If I kill it twice I will wait to buy it again until whatever conditions I couldn't provide the plant are fixed. Of course, if I get it again for free=that philosophy goes out the window. ~SJN...See MoreDo you have a vessel sink? Likes & dislikes?
Comments (9)My contractor explained that a customer of his had problems with a vessel sink but mainly because it didn't have an overflow valve, you know the thing that means there is a whole in the sink where water runs before it will run over the top of the sink. There was some problem with something like a vacuum being formed in the vessel sink preventing water from going down the sink until the customer reached in every time and "jiggled" the water in the bottom of the sink (I think). Then water would flow out. I had no reason to double what my contractor was saying. Since my discussion, I've noticed that there are definitely some vessel sinks with an overflow that includes Kohler and Toto. I haven't decided for sure which way I go but if I go with a vessel sink, I definitely plan to pick one that has an overflow....See MoreIt's a veggie time of year- which ones do you dislike intensely?
Comments (38)HA! Sorry guys when I posted that I was just home from my day with my Mom-running on no sleep LOLOL But -gave you a good visual huh Flamey?LOL \ What I meant to say is: I think a good torture device would be to make someone strip down naked be in the hot summer sun and have to pick it! Had to pick it so much never naked though....HATE IT! and then yes the next stage of torture is to have to cut the slimy mess up and roll it in cornmeal and then cook it -all the while still hot and itchy!...See Morekaryn1
