Really, what brought you to gardenweb?

I found GW last spring after buying a dwarf citrus tree. I planned on growing it in a container and wanted info on everything from transplanting to soil, feeding, watering etc. I found the info I was looking for on CRFG and on this site. Since then, I've added more citrus, Feijoa, Banana, Guava, Strawberry Guava, Passionfruit, Blueberries, & Papaya...mostly in containers. My love for growing tropical/sub-tropical fruit has expanded to tropical flowering plants and trees. I've had my first successes with Fuchsias (and can even spell it now)...and I've transformed a particularly difficult arid slope into a (so far) successful Hummingbird garden, using Calif. native Plants...all with a lot of helpful advice from a lot of GWers who took the time to answer my silly questions. This site has also been therapeutic for me, since I've had two back surgeries in the last six months, and can't always get out in the garden. My most recent discovery was the seed exchange section, which has kept me busy trading with a great bunch of people. Thanks to you all for your advice, wisdom, and generosity.

I posted an open letter in my community about outdoor cats...
Q
Comments (18)
I agree its annoying. I also agree that I do love cats, and there are also feral cat colonies here and there. What I haven't seen mentioned is that there are leash laws, and by and large, those laws DO INCLUDE CATS. I know for a fact that my state (Tennessee) does have a statewide leash law and it does include cats. It's probably true as well that most people in TN aren't aware of that fact. I'll go one further and speculate that most people in southern states with a lot of rural area aren't aware their own states probably have the same law. You need to check your state leash law and see if it includes cats first off. Then its not just a matter of "inconveniencing" anyone. Then it becomes a matter of law. Now can you get someone to enforce this? (probably not). I will say however that there are a lot of people out there - specifically cat owners and lovers who let their pets run free and aren't fully aware of the consequences. Feral cats perpetuate FIV and feline leukemia. They can pass this on to the roaming family cat, who in turn can pass it on to her mates at the local groomer or vet. In addition, and trust me, I know this for a fact, there are people out there who go out of their WAY to trap and turn in roaming annoying cats who wander onto their property. When I worked at the shelter, there was one older lady who went out of her way to rent a live-trap monthly and bring in every stray cat she could catch (often baited with tuna). THAT wasn't illegal - but the roaming cat was. By the way, the other day, a contractor doing some work for us told me, "Oh I'm so sorry, but we let your cat out of the garage accidently." My response? "Umm... what cat? we don't have one." Apparently we've had a cat take up residence under our house. Lately sometimes at night, I can hear a good bit of screeching and yowling. I fear for the fellow or gal because I've only recently caught glimpses of him and we have no idea what he's up to in the neighborhood or what he's running into. We don't have feral cat colonies in our residential neighborhood, so I suspect he's someone's roaming pet who has decided he likes our basement garage. I've also seen him slip through the gate of my back yard. That's not a good idea for him since I have Boo and Ginger who roam at will back there (2 large dogs). That is not an end I want to witness.

I'm still trying to figure all this out, one step at a time. I like getting the notifications in my email. Helps me remember and get back to where I was. Don't know why this came up but now I have gotten one that refers to my DGS's wedding in 2009. This is in reference to when I re posted the wedding on their 5th anniversary. Great, I hadn't tthoght about whether or not I might still have it. I clicked and brought it up in parts. it is a YOU TUBE. There are message boxes there :to check: 1 UPLOAD. 2 SIGN IN . 3 SUBSCRIBE and a form to email it to myself. I want to SAVE it, but don't know which of those boxes to click on. I appreciate it very much if someone can help with this. Sue

Kitchen reveal brought to you by nhbaskets!
Q
Comments (49)
Lisa--If these photos aren't what you're looking for, let me know. FYI, my previous kitchen also had a similar backsplash and windowsill except we had three windows rather than one, similar to your inspiration photo. Amck's new kitchen has something very similar in her reveal. wifeoferp--we had good and bad experiences with Top Line. They were the fabricators our builder used, so that's why we went with them. When we went to their yard, they had numerous slabs of Super White from which we choose three. Templating went fine. I then asked to come and place the templates on the slabs (builder thought I was crazy as no one had ever asked to do this). So glad I did as after waiting for 45 minutes we were told that they did not have our slabs. No, they were not sold from under us (what I had dreamed about the night before), rather they were all cracked. The salesperson we were dealing with explained that she had been searching all over the Boston area for replacement slabs and finally found three. So, we were left with no choice but to go with those three slabs if we wanted Super White. I was very upset at first but now having lived with these amazing pieces, I'm thrilled. In our previous kitchen we had chosen slabs at Boston Granite Exchange and had the fabrication done at Stone One in Methuen. I preferred Stone One's work to Top Line.

Vickie - have you noticed that Apple Tart is a polymerous?

I had quite a few in a polymerous form this summer. I like
them. I would like AT in my garden.

Oh goodie! Here's comes Alphabet Soup. This will help me catch up on my photo edits and posts. And a big thank you to whoever posted about how to resize the photos directly in the link!! (ngraham, was it you?) Big help.

This next one is a seedling by an elderly CO hybridizer, Irl Holtzrichter, who garden named the plant after his wife. He probably won't register any more due to his age.

I'm not sure if this next one is correctly labeled and have not been able to find anyone growing the cultivar to verify with a picture. It is also possible that it is a seedling out of 'Open Hearth' by a local CO hybridizer. Whatever it is, the bloom is outstanding.

ANSWERING ANGELS

Kay/Phal, yes I knew APPLE TART was a poly and I had several off of AT this year. It bloomed from June 12th through the first week of September. I just got it last year and am totally in love with it because of the long bloom season and never knowing whether it will poly or not. It was a delight to go out every day to see what it would do.

Whether all the rain did it this year or if this is normal for AT, I don't know. A lot of mine did so well that I attributed it to the rain.

Nina, ASIAN EMISSARY looks so dainty. I think it's beautiful.
