New to citrus, Key Lime questions
Comments (24)Casey, yep, I too notice citrus leaves are fragrant, especially after you hose them. I really notice this scent w/lemon. One time I sowed citrus from store-bought seeds..the tree grew fairly quick considering..Those leaves were super fragrant. If you rubbed a leaf w/finger and thumb, you could detect a hint of lemon. After finding out it would take 7-14 yrs before fruit or flowers, I gave the plant to a friend who had a lot more patience than I..LOL. This was Pre-computer days and the only citrus I could buy locaally were Calamondins. Casey, the Orthos and other plant books detail fairly adaquate information. I wouldn't say it'd be a great book for professional growers, but it's got more than basic data. I normally buy new books, but when I saw the used books on Ebay and Amazon, I couldn't pass them up. Some ppl buy books, decided they're not interested then want to rid them. I keep my books for reference. I wish I could help w/that brown spot, but I really don't know what it is. Sorry..Maybe someone else can ID it. How many leaves have these spots? I'd remove them from tree. What type of orchid did you buy? Wow, that's along wait..lol..I don't have the patience either..especially w/orchids. I only have a few orcids like Phals, dens, dancing lady, ludisa Jewel Orchid, vannilas bean, (don't know if that's an orchid or not) and one hanging type that bloom several times throughout the yr. I think that's it for orchids. The Phal flowers seem to last forever. Toni...See MoreAnother COLOR question (left a key word out of my other post)
Comments (3)Maureen, your question made me realize I have no idea for my own kitchen. I actually looked up every single color mentioned in your thread-- it was really helpful. I'll have to check out the old house forum as well. I think the accessories, hardware, & paint will be critical since dark shaker-style cabinets can often look very modern. Kelleg, Downstairs is all a cream color (almost white, really). Upstairs, our bedroom is yellow (previous owners had painted it that color and it actually worked really well w/ our art, furniture, etc). One kid's room is BM Northern Sky (almost a wedgewood blue color) and the other children's room is lime green (previous owners' choice, but we really like it). Our art is really colorful, so we were thinking of leaving the walls white in the kitchen and then hanging on of our larger paintings in the eating area.......See MoreRepro/antique mortise locksets and pocket door hardware
Comments (11)I've got a 1905 home and have been adding new mortise locksets on the new interior doors - I know the hunt to find the right hardware. There are two companies that make high quality interior mortise locksets that I've found - Nostalgic Warehouse is one and the other is Emtek. Both brands are carried at House of Antique Harware online. Rejuvention (http://www.rejuvenation.com/) also sells one of the brands - I believe the NostalgicWarehouse ones - and you can customize for interior privacy, dummy, etc and choose finish, knob, locking type (latch, key) backplate. But the price reflects that ($150-ish per set). Some other sites carry the Nostalgic Warehouse hardware and you should search for that online once you figure out what backplate style you need at a cheaper price. For bathrooms, I prefer the latch type without the keyhole, it's easier than inserting a skeleton key. In the end -- $100+ for each set was cost prohibitive for me since I'm doing a complete remodel and an addition so continued searching and lucked out finding the "Prime Line" series at Homedepot.com at around $30 a set. Yes, there is a difference in quality, but it's what I could afford at the moment so it's worked ok so far. They are all skeleton keys and I've got the keys hanging on the knobs with ribbon like others have mentioned. Here's a picture of my new doors and the Prime Line set with my Dad testing it after he mortised it out.

Comments (15)Thanks Hibiscus, the hose is a good idea will give that a try. Alanna, I will use the warm water soak as well and I definitely will not attempt until I can go from start to finish. Thanks. Oh and PacNorWreck, I did a quick google after posting and found some of the info you are speaking of especially as it relates to bees. I don't know if it was applied to the plant or if it is a systematic thing. I hope giving it an extended hose will maybe help if it was sprayed on. Thanks for the link. Thanks tropicofcancer for that hook idea. I do have and old paint roller handle so I will try to fashion one from it. With so much input and so many great ideas which I had no clue of, I can approach this with a lot more confidence. Thank everyone so much....See Moresnoonyb
