Comments (5)jxbrown, fwiw, I bought a bunch of those to put on my oven racks. Yes, they do work...but they were a PAIN! I could no longer slide things on/off the shelf. I found them to be impractical...jmho!!! I don't care for mitts, either. Or the silicone pad. I just like the good old-fashioned terry cloth pot holder. I bought some newer quilted ones (not terry) that won't bend easily enough to grip the pan! LOL! I'm always on the search for terry cloth potholders. I must be in the minority since I have a hard time finding them. Here is a link that might be useful: This one is round, but it's the texture I like...See MoreShow Me (or tell me about) Your Desk/office in Kitchen & give ide
Comments (7)Here you go, the uppers have the calander hanging on one side and emergency numbers on right door and all the office things live here. There is an outlet for charging cameras and "my" stuff. On the counter is an outlet for the land line. Antique tray is our magnet board. Top drawer has a powerstrip attached to the back for DH's electronics this is "his" drawer for keys and anything else. Bottom drawer is the coupons, and "junk" drawer as I have found it is inevitable! Basket is home for shoes. There is now a cushion on the dog kennel. Once Buddy is no longer we can pop an end panel on kennel and the lid under cushion lifts for more storage. Hope this helps!

Comments (19)Hi june, I am on about 4 acres and there are woods on most sides of the property and only one neighbor on one side that I can see and its fenced there lol. So escapee passiflora and other vines aren't a problem. In fact, there are "wild /rogue" trumpet vines, japanese honeysuckle, and carolina jessamine growing all crazy out in the woods and up various trees on the back of the property. I have a lot of gulf frits so they do keep the escaped (from pots) passies under control here too. For additional control, I grow most of my passiflora in pots and use 3 tall bamboo poles tied together at the top in the large pots. Then I use fishing line and black electrical tape to create a little trellis for them to attach their tendrils onto between the bamboo poles. Then I position the pots up against a fence or tree and let them climb that way once they grow over the bamboo poles. When it freezes, I cut them back to the length of the bamboo pole/trellis and move the pots into the gh because some of the passies I grow will freeze back badly and some are tropical so gh culture during the winter is best for those. ~SJN...See MoreTell me about your spring orders
Comments (15)All I have purchased so far are starts for my pots and barrels and baskets and a bit more milkweed. It's way too early to plant anything in the ground and my indoor holding/overwintering areas are packed, so having to pot up and hold more new stuff means it must be something worth it in order to justify the space. I have a new raised bed this year and have brought all of my whisky barrels up closer to the house to set around the patio where I can more easily get to them with the hose. I have had so many evenings of having to drag a hose 200 feet purely to hit my barrels of annuals that I had scattered around the landscape- that's over, I want all the containers closer this year. The starts so far are caladiums, elephant ears, cannas, mandevilla, torenia, bananas, dahlias, coleus, sunpatiens, various milkweeds, and a few varieties of clematis- all the things I want to get a good head start on....See Moresunnyborders
