Frost for 2nd time on my grape vine
Comments (1)Each "bud" actually contains 3 buds, primary, secondary, and tertiary. So it is likely you will get new growth again from the same buds, but the tertiary buds are the least fruitful (primary are most fruitful). If you get another frost that kills the tertiary buds you are not likely to get any fruit, but the vine will push dormant buds in other places and so you can get fruit next year, unless they get frosted again next year.

Comments (12)Sounds like you really have some challenges. You have my sympathies! A tiny poked hole is more likely a house wren's thin sharp beak, sometimes taking them some distance away, or simply tossing them out. The house sparrow will toss the eggs out, but their finch-like beak would not as likely make a tiny poke hole. And the HOSP is more likely to stick around, harass, or even take over the cavity. "Do BB's destroy their own eggs" ... No "the nest possibly could have been flooded?" ... are there leaks that could be fixed? "Are the HOSP really sneaky" ... yes, but HOWR are sneakier ... "and resistant to the Sparrow Spooker?" ... yes, and house wrens will not be deterred by a sparrow spooker. House Wrens are even sneakier, faster and silent, leaving no evidence behind, only destroying eggs or young. You might hear them singing, but might never, ever see them! There are some links to sound files of house wren song and chatter on Bet's web pages, so you can learn to hear the unwelcome sounds of house wrens. Visit Bet's web page for more info. And by the way, the Carolina Wren is a very different bird, welcome almost anywhere; not a threat to other birds.

Comments (21)They will be white. Haven't decided on the shade yet. Alabaster, Pure White, Dover White, and Extra White are top contenders but the painters haven't done the samples on boards yet to see how they look with the lighting in the room. It's called Ashen White granite. It's not my fav, but it's white which is what I wanted and it's within our budget. This is the backsplash we are doing for our little bar area that is in the family room, right around the corner from the kitchen. I really love the look of it. But, if you look at my kitchen layout, the only places we will actually have backsplash is around the sink. On that side you have the fridge and double oven with microwave stacked on top of the ovens. Then the dishwasher, sink, and other side of sink which will all have backsplash. On the other side is the pantry, broom storage, and appliance garage. Don't think tile would be needed in the appliance garage since it will have doors that conceal everything. Duh, why am I just having this revelation now? Oh, because I haven't built a house before. HA! Do you think I could get away with the blue-gray tile from the bar area in the kitchen too? It wouldn't be a whole lot. This post was edited by aimless07 on Sat, Dec 27, 14 at 18:34...See MoreFailed Paint colors for the 2nd time... Need help!
Comments (11)Rugged Suede is the color on the peaked wall that divides the rooms? That's a very warm grey or a beige with grey and you are trying to pair it with cool greys -- onces with more blue. The warm undertones and cool undertones are going to accentuate each other when you put the two together. I'm not sure I understand what look you are after -- lighter/darker contrast or beiger/greyer contrast. If you are happy with the Rugged Suede, have you considered just using that color at a ligher value? You can have the paint mixed at a percentage of the formula for a gallon of Rugged Suede. If you try to mix it yourself with white, you could have trouble matching the color if you need more. Lowe's here has Sherwin WIlliams colors -- if you want a different color rather than a lighter shade of the same color, try looking at something like Requisite Gray or Wordly Gray. On my monitor, they look good with the Rugged Suede photo. If they aren't right, maybe they will give you an idea of the direction to look. You could also look at Anew Gray and Mega Greige -- Agreeable Grey if you want something lighter. If that doesn't help, give us a better idea of the look you are after. Grey means different things to different people and in different contexts....See Moremoonshadow
