When will I know if my lilies & tulips are coming back?
Comments (6)You may or may not get blooms on your tulips if this is their second (or later) spring. Most tulips are not really perennial and only bloom well for one spring. After that you will see foliage, but a lot fewer blooms, if any. Now if they are the more Perennial Darwin Hybrid tulips, they should bloom for you just fine If you aren't going to plant either Darwins, or the species tulips, then you should count on having a good show only the first season and just pull them up and treat them as annuals. Species Tulips Both perennial Darwins and species tulips should do well in your zone. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: Perennial Tulips...See MoreWhen will philodendron selloum come back?
Comments (5)John, Thanks! Yes, I got my Tetrapanax steroidal giant at Plant Delights. It got about 5 feet tall - really took off, and the leaves were HUGE (about 3 feet or more)! It died back in the winter, but the main stalk remained. It is back, with leaves about a foot across already, sprouting just from the top. It looks like one of those plants in the background on the pages of a Dr. Seuss book. It sent out a runner that appeared 1-2 weeks ago, about 5 feet away, and that has a couple of leaves low to the ground. I can't see the runner - just the new leaves/plant. If I can figure out how to post photos, I'll do so. (Somebody told me last year, and I have to look up that thread again.) Sorry I never got back to you, but thanks so much for reminding me....See Morewhen plants die down, do they come back same size in Spring?
Comments (3)Depending on what you are growing and how cold the winter is. Are they pots or planters? Where are they kept now? When you grow in containers that are left outside, you expose the roots to freezing temperatures. Even if the plant puts on leaves during winter, you can't tell if you lost the plant until the spring when the pots thaw and see if the roots support the new growth or if it dies back. I have lost many plants this way. What are you growing? Some plants that I've had make a real cold winter in containers are chives and rosa rugosa and shasta daisies....See Moreis your back to the window when you are at your island?
Comments (19)We're here trying to help you have the best kitchen for YOU, it's not that you should have a kitchen that pleases us. Maybe you keep returning to the layout above because there is something in it that's really good for you and your family. Sometimes, I think of designs in terms of how well they implement goals. Sometimes, it pays to list what the heck you need and want from a remodel. Usually, simple declarative sentences are enough. As an example, for our last redo, mine were close to this: Dh needs a place to sit down; I need a bigger counter; I would cook in a glass house if I could; This is my space and that is your space. For me, those communicated what I was trying to get out of our space. Armed with those simple phrases, I could look at different plans and see to what extent any given one met our goals without getting totally mired in details. Sometimes, that meant that an approach I has spent hours on needed to be torn up. Or that I would design something that was objectively beautiful but was taking space away from something we needed more. No matter how much I loved it, it got cut. It hurt to give up on some cherished interior vision then, but I'm generally happy living with the results. So an example of meeting a goal was my prep counter space went from 20" to 54". It's one continuous piece between the range and the refrigerator. I prep in front of a window - meeting another goal. dh's prep counter is also about 5 feet long and it doesn't connect to mine ;) That's why I wonder if it would help to write some goals for the remodel. Even if it just helps you know what you want to achieve without all of us or your architect injecting more of our ideas of what you should do....See Morenel.nucifera
