Hi Naomi! Glad you took the plunge and joined in on the action. This is a great bunch here and you won't regret it. I think there are a few forum regulars in your neck of the woods. My name is Betsy and I live north of you in Palm Coast. Near the east coast - south of St. Augustine. I currently work fulltime but am losing my job on May 2nd due to a corporate buyout/downsizing whatever they want to call it. I wish I could stay home but unfortunately that cannot happen just yet. I like all that nature has to offer. ~Betsy

I have 2 more thingscompliments of the squirrels! Guess theyre good for somethingmaybe! I was gonna pull these out and just throw them away, but........... The first one I pulled out came with the acorn still attached to it, so I dug up the second one and theyre both now in pots! I have 2 oak trees! I assume theyre Gamble Oaks (Quercus gambelii), just because thats the most commonly found oak in this area, but I really dont have any way at all to be sure! If they are Gamble Oaks, they could wind up being anything from a single trunked smallish tree to a multi trunk bush kind of thing that looks more like scrub oak! There are two of them planted in one of the display gardens at Paulinos (they sell them), and one looks like a tree and the one right next to it is more "bushy!" Since I dont even know for sure what they are, theres no way to tell what theyre gonna look likebut they do have oak leaves!!! They will also spread somewhat, underground, I believe, and when they produce acorns, they will reseed fairly easily! So if somebody wants to take a chance on what they are and give them a try, Ill bring them along. I recommend them for somebody with a bigger yard, rather than just a tiny residential yard. Theyre still attached to the acorn and have very few roots. I would recommend growing them in the pots for a month or two so you can control the water better than if they were in the ground, and Id recommend you use a wet/dry cycle. Theyre completely saturated now, let them dry almost completely, then resaturate, let dry, resaturate........ Assuming they are Gamble Oaks they like it dry, and letting them dry almost all the way before watering again should help them form roots. Anybody interested? Skybird

I think the sink decision, and everything sink-related (shape, material, size, faucet, drain placement, where to buy), surprises people as to its complexity and number of decisions needed. I'll link a couple of threads for sink and faucet decisions, but I also recommend you do a search on this forum in the search box at the bottom for terms like "D-shape or rectangular sink", "offset drain", "corner sink", "apron front sink", "ordering sink online", and anything else sink related. Thread educating about pull-out vs. pull-down faucets Thread about stainless steel or silgranit sinks Double vs. Single Bowl Sinks Thread about size and shape of sink
