Actually, in a nice, porous, fast draining medium the root system of our containerized annuals will happy fill the whole pot. When that happens, you can be darned sure that you have some happy and thriving plants! Lori, don't be intimidated by all of what you read in here. Success can be achieved in a variety of ways. I do think that your annuals can probably make it in that 'stuff'. It will be difficult to water, however, because it won't drain rapidly at all. The soil in the bottom portion of the containers will slow everything down. You 'may' find that the roots won't want to enter the top soil, as well. If so, then watch for wilting. You may end up watering more frequently than you intended. Fertiloam potting soil is a standard peat based planting mix that should be perfectly acceptable. It's not sedge peat based, like Hyponex, which turns to sludge. Next year, you can cut the potting mix with up to 50% perlite and have a simple, inexpensive, easy potting medium. Your plants will thank you for it. (Also, avoid anything labeled garden 'soil', compost, manure for containers. Though great for gardens, those ingredients clog up the pore spaces required for healthy containerized plants.)

Hi Dani, and welcome! I'm in SE WI, just west of Sturtevant (west of Racine.) Where are you located, if you don't mind my asking? I've been viewing this forum for a couple of years now, but still consider myself an on-going learner, since so many people here know so much more than I do, esp. concerning hybridizing. There's no end to this addiction. I've told myself many times, I'm buying NO MORE new DLs unless I replace some old ones. Ha! That never works, because the people here keep posting more and more beautiful pics, and I say, "I HAVE TO HAVE THAT ONE!" So, I have no choice but to dig up more sod! (less grass to mow, more DLs to enjoy!) To post a photo here, you need to first upload your photos to a free image hosting site. Many people here use Photobucket, as I do. You can then post your pictures from that site to the GW forums. Let us know if you want help setting that up. I have a wish list with several hundred varieties, that I havbe to narrow down to 50, plus I have some seeds coming from the lily auction, that I have no idea where I'm going to put! Enjoy your addiction, and I assure you all of us here will enable you:))) Julie

Welcome Tammy...another animal lover here in the Texas Panhandle. Wish your DS never had to go to Iraq and I can understand your feelings. :( How about that talented Texas Posie cat...waving with her hind leg no less. LOL You may want to email some of your pet pics to one of us here who can post them for you, or give you clear instructions about how it's done. Sorry, but it's kinda hard for me also...I struggle with this old, slow computer of mine. Anyhoo, Howdy Y'all! :)

Hi I'm new here and need some granite help!
Q
Comments (14)
I had VG in my last house and loved it! It went nicely with my cherry cabinetry and didn't show crumbs or anything at all!! We have since moved and my new neighbor has NVG (slightly lighter than the original VG) on cream cabinets and it looks wonderful with that combo too, so I agree that it's a very versatile granite that looks good with lots of different cabinet colors. Since you might eventually paint your cabinets in the future, I would stick with the NVG which might look better with painted cabinets, especially if you are thinking about cream. Also, the darker the granite, the more dust it shows. At least that has been my experience, so the NVG is a great middle ground and won't be a headache with showing stuff the way a darker granite might. Good luck!

Hi all,
This is my first glass on glass attempt. The sun in finished except for the grouting. I need some help on how to grout just the sun without the edges looking messy. Also, any suggestions on how to finish the edge of the clear would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
