So what have you killed so far this year?

Did we have a worse winter than usual for zone 5? My 1 yr sweet autumn clematis hasn't returned. Another established clematis, type 3, didn't return. If it's Venosa Violacea I'm going to be upset, I have to check my garden "map". My container spruce, which I wrap well each year and made sure to water during warmer temps is really brown. My 2 year Fothergilla Major Mt. Airy died. My 1st year Willow Hakuro Nishiki looks completely dead. My 3rd year Golden Spirit died back to the snow line, but this didn't happen in prior years. My "Grace" came back a real winner, no dieback at all. My Sombreuil Rose bush, which I usually bury the crown, wrap in burlap and cover each winter, though the only thing I did this past winter was cover the crown and nothing more, returned with very little dieback to my amazement. Better than any other year. Go figure. Some hostas, which I was warned last year after purchasing that they aren't hardy, never to be seen again. Some groundcover sedum which probably never had a chance to establish -- nothing. Also lost a Weigela My Monet, thankfully still under warranty. Very Bad year!!!! Oh, and don't fret about the Asters. I had several varieties and they've all disappeared. I suspect it's the rabbits.

Dirtyoldman - I totally agree. People buy Hydrangeas for flowers, not foliage. And I would say that's especially true in the warmer climate areas like the Southeast, where there are lots of evergreen foliage plants available. It's hard to imagine someone other than crazed plant collectors (like some or many of us??) being taken in by this plant. Having said all of that, I did plant one this weekend (one gallon), and it has looked really nice for the past two days! LOL!! Now on the other hand - I think the new 'Endless Summer Blushing Bride" will be a major winner. I just planted one of these as well. The foliage is very dark green, and the big white mophead flowers look great with it. I'm looking forward to seeing how they look when they blush light blue. I'm betting on this one being a big time keeper! Beautiful plant. I also planted a couple of 'Big Daddy' Hydrangeas because I liked the dark green, large foliage and the promise of obnoxiously huge flowers reeled me in. The more shocking a plant is, the better!! LOL.

Ladies: when a man cooks for you...
Q
Comments (54)
I'm with barnmom, anything made just for me is romantic. I'd never had a man that cooked for me until I met Elery, now he'll surprise me with soup for lunch or pita chips and hummus when I get home from work, if he's here. I love it, just knowing that he's thinking about me and cares enough to make anything for me is good. Our usual evening is sitting on the couch with the Food Network on, looking at cookbooks. Last week it was the seed catalogs, LOL. Of course, he does clean up the mess himself. He's a "clean as you go" kind of cook, while I tend to clean up everything afterward. As for food, I vote for something light, not a huge heavy meal, and definitely dessert. Anything you can eat with your fingers (or HIS fingers) is even more fun..... Annie

Pulling back to a 500-foot high-altitude view, it seems to me that if you want a scullery (and I can see how that would be attractive) and/or the sensation of separate areas, that you should carefully separate your areas by function. I'd suggest: - Clean-up area in the scullery. (Isn't that what they're all about? Make it a 'work' zone - form following function.) - Pantry and fridge storage probably also in the scullery. (Large and bulky items that often aren't all that attractive.) - Prep and cooking zones in the heart of the kitchen, so prep sink and cooktop/range/ovens. (What's the deal with your cooking appliances? How many? What configuration? Set-in-stone?) Can your baking needs be accommodated by the same setup you use for other prep and cooking? - Cozy dining area with nice views and great ambience. - Your Napanee kitchenette? Is that more of a decor item? More functional? Or sorta both? (What does it do?) If it's very attractive, I'd tend to put it where it's visible from the dining area and main kitchen. - Since you're splitting off the scullery, I'd really try to keep the rest of the kitchen and ding area open to each other to avoid making the spaces too small. Give each space a different design identity, but don't close off your floors or sight lines. The trick is going to be getting the cozy separateness you want without getting claustrophobic. I think you can do that with wide doorways, small ceiling divisions or wall sections, and different wall colors. It's hard to explain, but sometimes all it takes to 'divide' one large open space into two rooms is a painted trim board on the ceiling and walls and a change in wall paint. I'll try to illustrate with this photo taken from our living room and sowing the kitchen (far left) and dining area (background). See how just the columns, ceiling boards and wall paint take what is essentially an open space and make three different rooms? a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v733/Sweeby/?action=viewÂ¤t=GreatRoom005.jpg" target="_blank">

So is it a treat when a gentleman opens the door for you, or it is something you are used to?

Me, being independent, as I am, went for the door handle, and he politely said "let me".

Nice having a nice day!
Been so long!

Good for you Glenda and your gentleman friend...not too many around any more.

Is this the same man you thought you might be going out with...seems weeks ago you mentioned something, right?

Oh, gosh, I've been with my husband since 1981 so it's been a very long time since there's even been an opportunity for another guy to open a door for me.

Hubs is a keeper. He always opens the car door for me to get in, and most of the time he jumps out and gets around to my side to at least help me out if he doesn't make it time to also open the door.

He always opens doors for me going into or out of a building, too.

Nada, not that one!

He's my neighbor, who doesn't really live here. He has a main home in Peach Tree City GA, and bought the condo when I bought mine.
Bought it so he'd have a place to stay when visiting his lady friend.
Now she's not AS available, so he just comes in for a nite then gone again.

Never been invited to lunch, but he just knocked and asked if I would like to have lunch with him. OF COURSE!

He's extremely nice and it was just nice to be with the opposite sex and be treated as a lady!

I am with you,Glenda; it is nice to be treated like a lady. I understand that young men today are not sure what to do as some young women resent anyone holding a door or chair for them and tell them so in no uncertain terms.

And no one deserves to be treated anymore like a lady than you Glenda...happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself so much

And yes,the youngster,inasmuch is he is one of the younger generation,is a most discernable gentleman..all the time.

How exciting! My DH grew up in another country and they didn't have a car and they don't date over there, so opening car doors wasn't something he knew how to do. When I met him, he didn't drive, so I was always driving. He has always opened doors for me (or any woman). I get annoyed when my DH holds the door open for another woman and she sails through without so much as a thank you. I generally say loudly, "YOU'RE WELCOME". He doesn't have to do if for anyone else, but some women feel it is their right and don't bother saying thank you.

Glenda, I am wondering about his lady friend, though. Does she live in the same condo place you do? Maybe you'll become his lady friend.... :)

P.S. My mother was 6 years older than my father and they were together 39 years until her death at 66.

The first man who treated me like a lady was my Daddy.When I was a kid,and we went for a walk, he insisted on walking on the side of the sidewalk by the street. He's been gone since 1998 and I still miss him.

How fun, Glenda!!! I am sure it was just fun to dine with a gentleman....hopefully it will happen more! =)

Dean is very much a gentleman with doors! He also made it hard for the girls' BF's!! Kalie doesn't care as much, but Caryn expects it from a date! She will stand at a door and WAIT for it to be opened for her by her date...some guys have just never been taught that...ever!

missindia2020....I have said those same words to women that didn't have the common courtesy to say THANK YOU!!!

We have a cougar in our mist. You go!!!

I insist on being treated like a lady. I will move slightly aside at a door, if there is a man behind me, so he knows that he is supposed to get the door. Works every time. I do always say thank you and flash a smile. I think most men like to open doors for women, they just forgot how, women's lib and all

Denny has always treated me like a lady....

But since his stroke I have opened a few for him...Some of those door are so heavy and hard to open it is hard for him. I'm careful though to let him be "the man"....
Strokes take a lot away from a person...I try to let him feel like the man he still is to me.

Glad you had a fun day Glenda....everyone needs days like that every now and then.
