Spring pruning: Yes or No?
Comments (4)With acaulescent hybrids - like Helleborus x hybridus (aka orientalis hybrids) - removal of last year's growth is a standard practice. By late winter the foliage is likely limp, often splaying to the ground, and typically battered by weather and diseases. Removal of the foliage in late winter - just as the flower buds are emerging from the ground - certainly does not weaken the plan and can actually improve vigor by removing overwintering fungal spores and various insect pests. New foliar growth is almost immediate and the flowers are displayed to much better effect with the removal of old growth. With the caulescent species and hybrids, this practice is very optional. These tend to produce much more upright and durable foliage and also much more attractive foliage. Typically one only needs to remove any badly disfigured foliage or any that is obviously dried up or dead. Even evergreen foliage doesn't last forever :-))...See MoreLiatris: Yes or No?
Comments (97)Actually, I think the Echinacea and the liatris are the ones that are inappropriately placed and surviving largely because they are just tough plants. The yew provides shade to the South-west. Also, I'm north of you, so the sunlight is less intense. I was hoping the bleeding heart would spread to beneath the yew. The spot is part shade and dry. Wasn't sure weather to plant shade-loving plants that like moisture or full sun plants that tolerate drought. The bleeding heart was a recent addition, so I don't know if it will survive long term. The bleeding heart looks good with the nodding onion, but doesn't really go with the liatris....See MoreOh No! Wolf 48' All Gas in my new kitchen
Comments (53)Yep. FWIW at this point, I can understand. You had been planning a kitchen renovation, and in that renovation your dreams included a specific type of range, and then you decided not to renovate and the alternate plan landed you with something that was not quite what you had hoped for. It's natural to be a little disappointed. A "so close but yet so far" type of thing--and the money it's worth or even the gas vs. duel fuel is not really the issue. Whether it was the above referenced Hotpoint you wanted and you ended up with a Magic Chef, or you had your heart set on gas and ended up with electric--the fact that it's a hugely expensive stove is not the issue here. You were hoping for one thing and got something else. I think that your reaction is completely natural, and I think that you are getting over it--also completely natural. Like any other disappointment in life, you deal with it and move on. You just had a "moment" and shared it with the group, some of whom took it in stride and some who decided that it was a monetary issue, and that you don't have the right to be disappointed in something that expensive. :-) However, I think the best piece of advice that you received is to live with it awhile, put it through it's paces, and if it's really not performing the way you wanted it to, and you can afford it, swap it out for something that's closer to what you wanted. If I understand correctly, the dual fuel Wolf you wanted is not going to fit in the space you have anyway, so you might as well see if you can make this one work. As others have pointed out, the resale value is not going to change much between now and later, so you might as well give it a go. Good luck, Cj...See MoreBertazzoni? Advantium? yes or no?
Comments (22)I've had an Adv 240 for two years now and use it every day. I am an enthusiastic and adventurous cook of many years experience and I wouldn't want to have a kitchen without a 240 in it again. It's not that it cooks a chicken so fast (more than 10 minutes though, lol!) but that it eliminates many steps you would have to take with other methods of cooking for the same dish. For instance, I throw a cut-up whole chicken plus all the other ingredients for chicken cacciatore in a casserole at once, (well, not the pasta!) put on the lid, set the 3 Adv controls, press start and have a finished dish in about 30 minutes. I do stir it a couple of times but that's the sum total of my effort. It's tender, and browned and delicious, just as if I took two and a half hours to saute it stove top and then braise it in a conventional oven, the way I always used to do. It can cook filet mignon and paninis with equal ease. This morning I made a frittata and didn't have to flip it to brown the top. It does microwave and reheat as a separate function, which is no more difficult to use than a plain mic of any brand. On the negative side, the vent fan is noisier than I would like. Another big negative is the price. My dh nearly passed out when I insisted on this model. Can you get a look at a 240 cookbook somewhere (maybe there are some excerpts on the Adv website)? That will give you the best idea of how it works and what a time and effort saver it is. If you have any more ?s for me, I'll be glad to try to answer. I don't have any info about the Bertazonni, but it's gorgeous!...See Morequirkyquercus
