Christmas lights- half on, half off!! why?
Comments (46)We bought 5 sets of Noma C6, 70 light strands last year. When we put them up again this year, three of the sets had only half of the strands working. I didn’t keep the receipt, so after checking some sights, I did this, and IT WORKED! I first attached another set of lights in sequence and they lit up, so I knew the wiring was good. I then pulled out and checked each bulb in the unlit section, testing them in sockets that worked to make sure the bulbs were good. I had bought a couple of extra bags of C6 lightbulbs (5 per bag) when this issue was first discovered. I came to realize there were two sizes to the green bases of the lights when pulled out. A few were slightly wider than the others. The smaller ones would fit in all the bulb sockets, but the wider ones only fit in certain ones. After much fussing and frustration, I came to realize that the wider ones had to be placed in the first and last light socket of the strand, and also socket # 35 and # 36. If a smaller width one was placed in any of those four, the strand would go out. And Voila, all sets work again. If you have a longer strand, I presume this would still apply. The first and last, and the two exactly in the middle will need the bulbs with the wider plug in base....See MorePlanting St. Augustine plugs in half Bermuda half St. Augustine lawn
Comments (4)Ack I just saw this comment but will try and take a picture tomorrow if it's not completely pouring down rain. The St. Augustine (I think?) in the top picture is the dark green grass under the trees and the clumps in the front yard. The bright green grass I think might be Rye growing over the Bermuda which is dormant right now. Oh and we live in Los Angeles....See MoreParadigm-half sun, half shade
Comments (1)Very Interesting. That is too funny to have both the colors on one plant. My paradigm is in mostly sun so has just the one color hue. Love the hardiness of this plant with no bug bites or slug damage ever...See MoreI'm sure half and half will not look good!
Comments (4)Thyme needs full sun, excellent drainage and almost no water after establishment. And as long as you select the correct type - a very flat or creeping thyme - it never gets unruly or requires trimming. For a full sun location with those qualifiers, it would be my first choice....and it looks great with paving or rocks. Another choice is Veronica peduncularis 'Georgia Blue' but that will need regular water and does get some height and ranginess to it. FWIW, the 'full sun' tag for the vinca was just wrong!! It can take partial sun (morning preferred) and varying degrees of shade to almost full shade. Its growth is very slow in full sun and the foliage tends to bleach out and look anemic....See Morelaceyvail 6A, WV
