Any orchid nurseries in the Miramar Beach and Panama City areas?
Comments (3)Sheila, there is a small orchid nursery in Milton, FL -- which is just to the east of Pensacola. If your friend wants to travel a bit, I can e-mail you the name and phone number to make an appointment. The plants are very nice. Mostly, they sold their plants at shows throughout the Southeast, but now are closing down....See MoreEver use your local CITY's Compost?
Comments (20)Are your leaves mixed with stuff before they get to the dump? Here's the setup where I live (Actually it's not where I live---it's a nearby town that I learned had a nice composting setup.): Homeowners take their own yard waste to the site, then I go and bring it back to my place to make compost. For years I only took leaves and pumpkins, fearing chemical treatments, but eventually the bags of steaming grass clippings got to me, and I started bringing them home, too. I try to avoid the greenest, lushest clippings, assuming they are more likely to have been chemically managed. Primarily, I've decided not to think about it. Behind the mountain of yard waste is the prior season's yard waste, now composted. I rarely take that, preferring to see the ingredients that go into my compost. I did, however, have the local extension service test the finished compost for lead, and I can't remember what else they tested, and the results regarding that were reassuring. My biggest concern is pesticide residue on the grass clippings. My second biggest concern is bring home diseased leaves (many of which do not get composted at all; I use them intact as mulch on lawn areas) that might pass something onto the trees in the woods around me. I brought home blighted maple leaves last year, then ended up contacting a man from the university regarding my concerns. He said, in that instance---maple trees---the blight was so widespread I shouldn't worry about it. Plus the disease was not fatal to maples. If you have the option of visiting the drop-off place for your town, you might check it out. So far this year, I've gotten leaves, grass clippings mixed with chipped leaves, tons of apples, NOT ONE PUMPKIN YET; I blame mctoon, tons of dahlia bulbs, hydrangea blossoms, and the best score yet---a pile of dirty, blemished, black-spotted pears lying in tire tracks filled with oily compost leachate seeping from the pile. I gathered up the filthy pears and took them home for my chickens. My dog fought the chickens for the pears, and after seeing the especially pleased look on her face, I began to wonder just how good those pears were. I ended up taking the greasy pears into the house, washing them, peeling them, offering them to my mother (with full disclosure) and having one myself. One of the most delicious pears I've ever had in my life! I ended up going back out to the yard and taking back the best looking ones from the chickens. I am very tempted to write to the editorial page of the Bangor Daily News asking "who the heck are you that keeps putting those DeLiCious pears in the Brewer dump, for pete's sake? Are you totally mad?"...See MoreCedar City Planting Ideas
Comments (1)Cedar City isn't too much warmer, or dryer than Salt Lake, it just seems that way, the winters are a bit milder, and the summers can be dryer so depending on how much water you have and your elevation... you can grow pretty much any annual vegetable you want: radishes, lettuce, corn, sunflowers, broccoli... but the old standbys are tomatoes and zucchini. Usually safe to plant out tomatoes after may 1....See MoreAny local tile sources for backsplash in Portland, Oregon?
Comments (4)Great suggestions so far. Two other places to try are Portland Direct Tile and Marble and Thompson Tile. These 2 are right across the street from each other. United Tile and Pental are close by so you can hit 4 stores within easy distance from each other. Just be warned that even though you're buying locally, the tile you choose may not be in stock. Suppliers aren't stocking tile like they used to do. But if you need to order tile, all of the above places have showrooms so you can see the tiles before you order. The showrooms are really fun - and dangerous, too many temptations. (You may need to go through a distributor for Thompson Tile. The showroom is open to the public but I think they are wholesalers. I ended up not using tiles from Thompson but if I had Interstate Flooring would have handled the order for me.)...See Moredee333
