Blah... I didn't get to plant out anything.... spent all day digging instead. Of course after I got the sunflower house mapped, dug up, and the bean teepee and tunnel made, my husband comes home and say why did you put that stuff there, I don't want it there! This is after I asked him 50 times if he'd be all right w/ it there. Men!! He wants me to move it all to the side of the house where we can't grow anything cause it's all sand. He's nuts! I am so gonna win this argument!

I am digging early this year and waited only two days after cutting the first batch. Was surprised to find the eyes just as easy to spot now as when I waited 4 days to a week to dig in years past. And even more surprised to find sprouts on some already, or still! The interval will now go to four days as I am rudely interrupted by work so I'll post if there's a big difference. I don't think at this late date that flowering will bother or take anything away from your tubers. By now, they have either grown or developed into whatever they will be. It seems to be a banner year for some varieties and some that have been great tuber producers in the past are very stingy this year.

Mom 2.5, A or B, Seriously, I pick tommorrow I m the ho....Five years and she wants to wave the white flag after a half decade of PAS? Hmm , would give me pause..Up to something, no, I dont think I d give her a quick sneak outta town on her weekend. Would she do the same for you?

carree, the Hirsch tile is gorgeous, but waaaaay out of my price range. I'm going to post a new thread for BS help. I'm finally back with some more details and hopefully some better photos. We just got the new NXR installed and a few last minute details finished. We made our first "real" meal in the oven tonight! Whooppeee-- feels like a real kitchen now. For those who asked about the NXR, I will try to post in the appliance forum, but the first one arrived with damage (ordered from Costco). After trying to get it repaired with warranty company, we opted to just return it and get another one. Smart move... should have just done that from the start. Anyway, the 2nd one is the charm and it works well. I'm posting a few new photos just because I'm embarrassed by how blurry the first ones are. Maybe I should edit the original post? I posted the insides of my drawers in another thread. As for the MO shelf, it looks nice when it's closed and seemed good when it was planned, but not sure that I would do that again. It's hard to open the cabinet next to it if it's open and it's just a PITA to open and close it. We are not big MO users, but our kitty seems to insist on having his food heated for exactly 8 seconds! Thanks again for the help and BS suggestions.
