Beautiful bright green leaves...no idea what it is
Comments (10)some peeps cut them to near the ground every year ... they are nearly indestructible ... i once chopped a 4 footer down to 6 inches.. and dug a 1.5 foot ball ... and dragged it across the acres ... IN AUGUST... and barely watered it ... and it survived ... i did that because of a deck project.. and i didnt care if it survived ... total benign [???] abuse ... yours is looking a little thin towards the back.. and it might be sun starved from that direction... so you could either move it.. or cut it back... for better shape.. or it might start flopping on you ... it is a full sun plant ... ken...See MoreBig flowers and small flowers?

Comments (14)I used to raise Datura because I liked the blooms and how easy they were to grow. But it didn't last long. If I got closer than 10 feet to them, I broke out in an itchy rash. But only when they were in bloom. There is a species of Datura in a tree form, but I don't remember the name of it. People that had the tree in their back yard and the window open while they were sleeping would have terrible nightmares. I can easily believe this to be true after my experience....See MoreHow big is your dining table? Leaves or no?
Comments (45)My table is 46"w x 76"l, with 2 20" leaves for a max length of 116". Comfortably fits 10 chairs and 12 with a bit of squeeze. It may be wider than typical, because many standard size table cloths only have a couple inches of overhang along the sides. (That's something to keep in mind when sizing a table.) I buy banquet sized cloths for when I have both leaves in. I much prefer wood to glass tops. First, I like the ability to expand a table using leaves. In addition, I don't want to see everyone's legs when I eat, so I would end up covering a glass top anyway. (And that's the unfortunate thing about my table: it has a beautiful inlaid wood top that I love, but to protect it when we have dinner guests I use table pads and a table cloth, so no one sees the top anyway. Maybe I need to invest in some fancy placemats.) I'm not a fan of trestle or pedestal tables. We're a tall family and we need leg room under the table. It would bug me if a pedestal or trestle got in the way....See MoreJoanofPa
