Here is what I just don't understand about annuals
Comments (19)Jamilyian, I just learned something interesting from you! I wasnt aware that Hostas didnt thrive in zone 9. Not that it matters here in zone 6, but it is something that I never knew before. If you have never been to a botanical garden before, be prepared to be overwhelmed!! I live an hour away from the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, which has an incredible home gardening display garden. Any plant (new or old) that you can think of is there. There are many plants that my eyes just go right over in the books and catalogs, but they are able to bring them to my attention with the creative combinations they do with them. I have been to MANY botanical gardens all over the country (my vacation destinations are determined by which one I want to go to next). I have been to some that arent so great, but I guess that depends upon personal taste. Although I LOVE tropicals, and Hawaii has been my favorite trip of all, I wasnt too inspired by the botanical gardens, simply because I cannot do what they do in their climate, and the plant choices are quite limited it seems. I guess what I mean is, there is little inspiration for anything other than my indoor garden. I remember questioning why there wasnt anymore annual displays, like we have here. Of course, you can find a zillion other things to do in Hawaii and I certainly wasnt dissapointed!!! I could spend a whole week driving that trip to Hana, finding tropicals in the wild that grow like trees, where here they are limited to (at the most) a 12 inch container! Can anyone elaborate more on the Hosta issue she mentioned? I dont understand why it is that they would "die out" and not return. Is it true that they need to "freeze" for a while in order to thrive? Wouldnt there be many species that would do the same thing? I find this very interesting, I never thought that most things would NOT thrive in zone 9. This could be my lesson for the day....See Morehelp! I don't know what is going on with my Arbs
Comments (13)I've heard through the grapevine that neem oil is the one way to attack mites on arborvitae, but have never tried it. There are quite a few applications out there, but I would suggest looking it up before applying. Kimbra, your statement that you admit you didn't water a whole lot this summer could be the answer, too. To check for spider mites, you take a white piece of paper and shake a limb over it. If you see movement on the paper, bam, you've got the nasty little critters. The problem is, most damage from spider mite shows up the NEXT year, so I'm going to assume it might be a little late to see if you have them. No worries, though, it doesn't sound like your arborvitae is going down, just going through a little stress. The damage you see will repair itself. Plants are hardy! As for the fertilizer, I understand exactly where you are coming from idabeam. The fertilizer we use is actually environmentaly safer than all others that I've seen on the market. My dog could actually lick the bottle after applying, and I wouldn't worry about her. I did some research on the fertilome, and couldn't find much about it. I went to fertilome's website, and they don't sell it there, which is interesting to me. I'll talk to my boss about it....See MoreDon't laugh, just cooked my 1st whole chicken!
Comments (20)Good for you, debrak, it's a "go to" meal here and leftovers are always good for pot pie, for sandwiches, for a sesame chicken dip. There are lots of things you can do with leftover roast chicken. If you feel inclined, next time just take that carcass and plop it into your crockpot with a carrot, an onion and a stalk of celery, turn it on high and let it cook until the broth tastes good. You don't even have to peel the onion, just wash your vegetables, chop them into two or three pieces and put them in the crockpot. Add salt, pepper, a bay leaf if you like, plop the chicken on top, cover with water and let it cook. It'll take hours, I usually do it overnight and into the next day, sometimes 18 hours. When it reduces to about half and tastes good, strain out the solids and use up the stock or put that in the freezer, much less room necessary than the whole carcass. In the meantime, isn't it fun to try new things? I'm impressed with a 9 pound chicken too, now THAT'S a chicken! Before you know it you'll be watching Jacques Pepin on YouTube and deboning chickens.

Comments (110)Vastly better, although I think the hood and cabs should be the same height. The window looks 100% better without those two narrow cabs flanking it, too. BTW, I would swap the fridge and the tall pantry cabinet so that your fridge doesn't open into that wall (and so the pantry cabinet isn't between your fridge and your landing space for prep items)....See Morejuddgirl2
