What tomato varieties are you growing? I don't think you need to direct a rant at your garden organizer, but you might do a Search of each variety here and print them out. The height of each variety is given. Then show the information to the garden organizer and explain that if your supports are too short now, you'll have to add to them later, and the plants can be damaged by pounding in stakes later when they're taller and the root system is larger. The truth is that containerted is right -- the choice is to provide a sturdy support for indeterminate tomatoes from the beginning or have dinky supports that fall over with tomato plants broken and/or sprawled everywhere. The kicker? Ask the garden organizer what you should do and say you've thought a lot about ways to support them that are attractive, and maybe you two can choose the best plan. Four to five feet is enough height to let the plants grow and then cascade down the other side. Again, I don't think you need to be confrontational. Since she sounds like a "managerial type", she might give you the go-ahead for a better support system with enough information and if she has some say in what you do. God, I'm GLAD I don't have to put up with gardening ignoramuses telling me what I can and can't do! It's bad enough with so many differing opinions by people who are experienced gardeners!

I looked at the paints you posted and if you want to paint green above the sink and stove, you will need to have it directly relate something else in the Kitchen scheme. This would mean you would need to find a glass tile that has the green in it or go with a totally neutral backsplash like the 4x4 tiles you are showing with the glass tile. A viewers eye will look for a relationship between the paint color and the backsplash or other features in the room and not find it. Even if those colors exist in an adjacent room, the relationship needs to be clearly there in the Kitchen. In this case, I don't think matching accessories will get you there either. Now for a little design editorial. I think the basic design concept that you should bring colors from one room to another throughout the house is a good one, but has been overused. The theory is that having each room relate makes the house flow. Whether that works or not really depends on a lot more factors. The premise is that each room should not be a completely different color, yet in some cultures it is the norm to paint each room a completely different color and looks quite wonderful in context. Okay, enough of that. In effect, you do have a color relationship between your rooms already and it is your basic neutral Khaki. There are some advantages to keeping the backsplash completely neutral if you want to use accent paint colors. You can change your color scheme very easily without having to change tiles. Basing your scheme on the neutral allows you to paint accent walls while the overall effect remains pulled together. Either choice is a good one. It's what works best for you. If you decide to keep the glass tile as you originally selected it, and still love the green, try to find somewhere else to use it. I used my green in the Laundry room.

There are so many great choices here! I was reading them out loud to my dh and he was loving them too. I don't want to confuse anybody who looks at the program, so any puns might go over their head. This is the last paragraph in my blurb. There are 3 paragraphs that are before this one, describing the details of the room. "This glamorous suite is not meant only for sleeping. ItâÂÂs also a place to relax with a cocktail, or get dressed for a fabulous evening out on the town. But with a room like this, the homeowner wonâÂÂt want to be out too late because she knows what luxury is awaiting her return. And then it hit me....what about RETURN TO LUXURY Patty-I'm loading the room April12th, then I'll play with it for a bit. Hopefully not too long to dress it to match my vision. I've been posting pics on my blog, if anybody wants to follow along, email me, happy to share. beekeeperswife at gmail dot com (And I (hopefully) will be giving away tickets to the showhouse on the blog as well as an admission ticket to a Design Conference in Vegas--so exciting things for my little boring blog in the future)
