I'M SORRY about the pics! Good luck with the garden designer!
Comments (1)Don't worry about it! I thought you were making suggestions for shade on the patio - I liked it!...See MoreMy sorry, ugly, sickly tomatoes....HELP!!!
Comments (28)Anna When I moved here I was introduced to the famous gardener from the neighborhood, she told me we can't grow tomatoes here, it is just impossible! I am glad I didn't listen. On the other hand we all have trials and tribulations with the tomatoes, no matter where we live. Nobody is a "miracle worker" who produces perfect tomatoes all the time. So, we have to work with whatever we have. And start to make a plan. 1. Throw the old and start fresh, don't reuse soil, recycle it instead. Wash the pots through, I use soap and water. The bigger the pots the better. Use a good draining potting soil mix. A lot in the market, later on you can make your own. 2. Try to pick different varieties that are determinate, indeterminate, and fruit at different times. Florida 91 is determinate, once it gives fruit it goes. If you had more varieties you could still have tomatoes. 3. Try to grow the seeds yourself, it is too many variables and poor selection at the big box stores. Let me know if you want a starter seeds for tomatoes. I can share a lot of varieties with you and if they don't work for you, at least you don't end up with a packet full of seeds. If you are interested send me an email with your address. 4. Once you have your seedlings up and running, it is important to have them on a weekly schedule to control bugs or diseases. I only use substances that don't harm my pets or the environment. I was told in Phoenix from a chemist friend not to use ironate on edibles that is very toxic. I don't use coffee grounds on pots either because attracts bugs and can get moldy. I use everywhere else in the garden. And the last words to everybody, don't give up. Everything is possible and we will all succeed (even those that have the tomato diseases now, like Corrie and Denise) By the way I love my currant Hawaiian tomatoes that I use to grow them in Phoenix ( I was told there too that is impossible to grow tomatoes there and I probed them wrong when I gave them baskets full of tomatoes (heirlooms, hybrids, currants) Willy...See MoreWhat's safe to plant?

Comments (4)Of your plant list, the one species that gives me the willies is the fountain grass. In some areas, this stuff can seed itself widely across the landscape. I wouldn't get your hopes up about natives popping up from your pasture lands. Even if some natives are present, it's very likely that your pastures have been seeded into a non-native pasture grass such as tall fescue. Your extension folks will be able to tell you what is present in your pastures and whether it will be a problem. There's a wealth of information about invasive plant species available on the web. This web link is a good starting point, with lots of links to more detailed information. Here is a link that might be useful: invasive plants (USDA)...See MoreRenovating guest bath...(sorry, this is long)
Comments (5)I respectfully disagree. Hire your friend as long as he's professional. Keep the channels of communication open, respect each other's space...and let him show off his work for you. I'm not a tradesman, but I 'work' with friends and family all the time...we establish expectations from the start, and communicate appropriately. Regarding whether you need a GC or not, it all depends on whether you have the energy and time/motivation to coordinate the job yourself. All things considered, this is a small project, and no one's going to be fussing with the structural integrity of the property. Your plumber friend can supply and install the new tub and fixtures, a good tile guy can make sure he's working on (and with) appropriate materials/surfaces, and whoever you get your vanity from can install it....See Morelavender_lass
