Post Your 2009 Tomato Pics (Part 3)
Q
Comments (36)
Ok, here are my newest "baby" pictures, these were planted on April 12, and just sprouted the 16th. Cherokee Chocolate was the first to come up, with an Aker's West Virginia in the back right cell and a Crnkovic Yugoslavian beginning to peep above the starting mix in the back left (it was planted the 13th, from 6 year old seeds, so it is a "go getter"). The one in the cell at the right edge of the picture is a Brandywine. The two in the back left cell of the tray in the back are Julia Childs. This little Julia Child seems to be a bit confused. These peppers were planted a week earlier but also sprouted yesterday. So far Aunt Ginny's Purple, Yellow Brandywine, Shuntukski Giant, and Olena Ukrainian have also sprouted out of the 40+ varieties I have planted. Still waiting for the other cells in the 6 packs to sprout. Now that I have more space in the flat that is on the heat mat, I'll be planting more tomatoes over the next few days and will do some cherry tomatoes last. I was wondering if I had started these too late, but they should all be about 6 weeks when we plant out around Memorial day. BTW, we had 3"+ of snow on Wednesday the 15th. Just a typical late spring last hurrah (I hope) for this area. Bets

Which color scheme looks best on our 1940s home? (see pics)
Q

Paler gray on the bricks; deeper darker gray on both of the eaves .... white columns; black front door (add silver knocker) -- and please paint the downspout in the same color as the brick! LOL! :) Just teasing! :) No shutters at all .... If possible .... add lighting by the front door -- and in the garden. Add a white-painted round vent at the top of both of the eaves. Remove original plantings -- and expand the garden beds -- and make them flank the walkway. Add some larger gray rocks in several spots and a variety of height in the new plantings. Add vintage garden chairs or a white bench to the front porch.

What is your decorating failure? Pic
Q

Yep, me too. Can't imagine why we ever thought a dark leather sofa would be a good idea. Actually, I don't know why we even considered having a sofa at all. There is never any room on it for people. And if we shoo them off the sofa, they just go to the chairs. If people are using up all the space on the furniture, the dogs will stand with their chins on the sofa and whine and look so offended! They will occasionally stretch out along the top of the back cushions, which knocks the painting and causes it to hang askew. They will use the decorative throws, but no toss cushion is allowed to remain on the furniture. After all, toss cushions take up valuable snoozing space. And in this house, if you sit down on the sofa without paying attention, you're libel to get a nylabone wedged in your butt. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/balego/dogsleep.jpg[/IMG]

decorative wall vent/AC return? Show me links or pics of yours!

justgottobeme-Oh, that sounds like a good idea! So funny how we will do projects around the house for our pets! Well, in this case, I guess it is for your DH. :) But still...we just got a new dog at the Humane Society about 2 weeks ago...a 40 lb black lab mix. i ADORE her and she has been sleeping in bed with us...but after seeing the BLANKET of black hairs on the sheets, DH and I decided she MUST sleep on the dog bed on the floor, next to the bed. Hope your cats don't mind being shut out of your room...but at least they have each other! I know what you mean, I like a few different styles, too. Just want to make sure that a scrolly wall vent will match my 70s faux spanish ranch. Now, I can assure you...no one I know had a decorative wall vent when I was groing up in SoFla in the 70s. Just like crown molding...NO ONE had it. So, since I am trying to stay true to the era (within reason) I feel silly putting the decorative wall vent in. However...if someone KNEW about these things in the mid 70s, and had the option...they probably would have done it, too. I am figuring that a scrolly black design will look spanish, so I will be ok...I am staying true to the "spanish" part, if not to the 70s ranch part. Hope that makes sense! jill-Goodness, those pics are just SICK! Saw the one you mentioned...thing is, there is soooo much to look at , I could see where some people would think in *that* case it would be ok! Anyway, thanks for sharing, definitely pretty and along the lines of what I want!

Beautiful! It is soooo inviting.

I can just see the family gatherings with the kids playing Hop-Scotch on that sidewalk while the adults rock and talk on that AWESOME porch.

You have the decorating touch. It is Perfect. It really says "Home For Christmas".

You should have a party and invite all of us!
