Arid planting ideas
Comments (7)Hi Ross, There are many Erigeron species (fleabanes), many more Penstemons as Bev suggested. Also fall asters, Eriophyllum lanal pointe, Asclepias incarnata, Pulsatillas, little bluestem & Calamagrostis ornamental grasses, the taller German statice, Rudbeckias, lavender & Amsonia and Perovski. All manage to survive in my sun baked thin soil. I did mulch to keep some moisture though. Against the south brick wall I have a low growing juniper underplanted with spring bulbs and several clematis sided by scarlet monarda, a veronica and alliums, centranthus ruber and nepata faassenii, even some white lily bulbs for a couple of years! Fall asters and hardy chrysanthemums manage to return yearly too. Sharon...See MoreImages
Comments (4)Hello, Allan, it is so nice to have daylily photos from your area. The Peppermint Delight is so pretty. Have you seen Peppermint Somersault? That's a neat one, too. Really like the yellow seedling. Thanks for posting. Avedon...See Morerefi...is this a 'dry closing'
Comments (4)As you rightly assumed, in a refi, there is a 3 day right of recission under Federal and many state's laws. You sign all the paperwork, but don't get the money until the 3 days (business days) have expired. You can't waive the right. What's happening is that the closing company is protecting themselves and you. The settlement or funding date is the first date they can send out the payoff funds to the bank. The payoff letter can be written several ways, with an exact payoff amount on a certain day with a per diem for additional days or it can give a payoff amount effective through a future date (often the end of the month). The closing agent will figure out the amount for the payoff as of the funding date plus 1 and then will add a few extra days cushion. Why? If FedEx is late, if the clerk at the bank doesn't process it, whatever, if the funds are insufficient, then your loan is not paid off until the bank gets that extra hundred fifty bucks you wouldn't let the closing agent send. You get additional per diems and alot of hassle. You blame the closing agent and the bank, they blame you. Fun all around. Of course if you send too much, the bank is supposed to refund you the difference and they will....eventually. I usually see 2-3 days extra after the settlement day +1, so 7 days is a bit much, but you will get the difference back and you will be reassured that enough money was sent to payoff the loan....See MoreConundrum
Comments (11)Ken, baking soda works on mold and mildew by lowering the PH. Vinegar works by raising the PH. Household cleaning tips often include using baking soda followed by a vinegar solution. The problem with using it in the garden is long-term use is destructive to the enzymes in the soil which leads to more problems. Lowering and then raising the PH in a garden (any) would be a recipe for disaster. Both of these are 'controls' and do not eliminate the problem. Systemic fungicides work longer and may eliminate the problem if caught early enough, but mold and mildew are very tough problems that are best addressed very early on and with perseverance. The best prevention is opening up spaces and keeping air circulating resulting in a drier area in which mold or mildew is far less likely to form. A systemic fungicide before symptoms appear in an area prone to this problem would be a very good idea. Ammonia is also effective as a control. Jon...See Morexamsx
