danibes, thanks for sharing to warn others! I know when I read reviews on a [articular stereo and thought I would be so happy, I was so disappointed that it was flimsy, cheap and would not work. Some sites must limit any bad reviews which to me is fraud! If they allow good reviews, they should allow ALL review.

4 1/2" is what I generally use. With the door closed, the threshold should be equally centered.

I purchased my two saddle stools from Target.com last month for our new pennisula. They are very comfortable, fit under the edge of the counter well, and aren't "tippy" for our 9 and 11 yo kids. That said, the quality of these stools from Target is poor: none of the screw covers (wood buttons) stay in place without wood glue (not included), and one stool had a big split under the seat (luckily not visible). While they work for my kids (both under 90lbs), I'm not sure if they would last if heavy adults sat on them alot...the "foot bar" rotates in place. All in all, your typical Target purchase....trendy, inexpensive, and not built to last :)

I never find the saddlebacks on my gingers because they would much rather eat my roses lol. They do sting something fierce. It hurts so bad. I got stung a bunch of times this summer. Vinegar helps a little. I don't spray anything here and the chickens don't want anything to do with the saddlebacks so I just have to watch where I put my hands lol. I spray them with the hose sprayer and they will fall off and I can step on them. I guess if I was more ambitious, I could get a spoon and scoop them into a cup of soapy water. NEEM would probably work good on them too. What are you fertilizing your turmeric with? They look awesome! ~SJN
