Very cute, but I would do what was suggested above & add a couple of rope holds(just large enough to get hands in it), 1 on each end between the bolts or little ones might be afraid of falling off. Would also only use it on the grass not a patio. Much softer landing!! Great color & looks like a cute little worm! Jan

akchicago, I feel bad that you have to wait to do your bathroom. I have saved for a long time and my bathroom is really ugly. The Scavolini cabinet is called Mood and is Ebony Zebrawood. I can't link it, I just had my harddrive replaced and can't seem to be able to install Adobe Flash Player. I saved a lot of money going with a kitchen cabinet instead of a bathroom vanity. I bought a 18" cabinet combined with a 24" sink base. I went with doors instead of drawers on the 18" and saved 50%. I have a really small bathroom so it's hard to design. I have to put the vanity against one wall, so floating it wouldn't look good. I'm putting in Azul Tulis limestone floors, shower and the vanity. I'm not sure about the toilet but I like the Kohler. I'm going to get the same spout as the faucet, Axor Stark X for the tub. galinphilly, I like the Citterio faucet a lot. Where did you purchase yours? Donna

Oh no no no no no. What did I get myself into? I am only beginning to re-work the inside but (because I put an "outside" on the mostly "inside" forum) since you asked I owe it I guess...The best I can do is link my recent forum dilemma getting flooring help. Pix included. Here is a link that might be useful: Recent forum question w/a couple inside pix

I figured out how to trick my Bosch last week when I had to wash a king sized pillow. Start and stop didn't work but I was able to turn it off and reselect the cycle and get it to add more water 3 times before it decided it wasn't going to fill any more. I've never needed to mess with the water level before, but that giant pillow really needed the extra water. I soaked it for an hour, then washed on hot with an extra rinse and it cleaned up great.

And mine just starting to germinate (sown only 10 days ago), so not really anything to take a picture of yet! And I had the misfortune to tip my container over, so my seeds are sort of mixed with the sphagnum moss now!

HDD you got 'thousands'!!! Have you got a farm where you are going to grow them out? I still have to get to the stage where I can just see GREEN!

I've noticed that HDD's sowing mix are quite vary, they look different in ingredient.
Yet, they also look quite coarse, comparing to the other's.

Stephania, I am using peat moss pellets that have been soaked and removed from the netting. I noticed the same thing you did. It lookns like a soiless potting mix.

I found it eliminates handling and culling the seedlings before they are strong enough to move in to their own containers..one less transplanting for me and only the strong survive

Good post Barb, I had been wondering how all those HL's were doing. Bob, you must feel like a proud Dad seeing the "kids" doing so well.

And here's a photo of my HL F2s. Now almost 2 mths old.

{{gwi:470307}}

It is interesting to see a range of media being used to grow these Neo's, & all seem to be doing well. Mine are growing in a 50/50 mix of perlite & palm peat. I find this mix works well with my seed rasing set up, as it holds moisture without becoming soggy, does not compact, & encourages good root growth. I follow HDD's theory...the less transplanting the better. This batch of H.L, (& these others) will hopefully be ready to go out into the plastic house in another 4 to 6 mths.

How long do they take to germinate? I'm hoping I didn't bake mine from the plastic container I used.

Moved them back into the house to get out of the heat. Mine are in sphagnum, but I don't think I will use that again. Seems like it is keeping them a little to moist.

DO not put them in the sun// any real shady warm spot is good

Mine are under the lights I use to grow Gesneriads, I only took them outside to take this picture. I do have a spot on my covered lanai outside so I might take the cover off permanently and grow them there. I like sphagnum to grow stuff that could be difficult. It seems to leave a a lot of room for error wet or dry

Seems all the planting mediums used by everyone work real well.The mix hdd has looks a lot like we use at the bbg,called 50-50 mix,(I forget the mfg.)which has a lot of ground up bark in it,and the broms there thrive in it,being loose and airy.Needs watering often tho,but thats what we hort.volunteers are for ;-) Glad to see so many successful germinations out there from NZ to SA. Might HL take over the brom world in a couple of years? Hmmmm.
