Best way to mail cut roses?
Comments (5)I don't think you could do this other than with overnight mail. They grow special florist roses in Ecuador and other places that keep their petals quite a long time after cutting, and then they fill the boxes with inert gas to slow down the wilting process. And with special florist roses and that process they last a week or so. But I don't think it's practical to try something like that for the occasional gift. But overnight mail (i.e. FedEx) and a couple of lunchbox sealed ice paks should be fine. Or just call 1-800-flowers, even easier....See MoreBest way to send seedlings by mail ?
Comments (2)Dear Dave, Thank you very much for your respond. I read so many different thing how to ship so i am lost a little but not totally. Leave soil on the roots that came out of the pot ??? I think it's better to put the roots in a bag with cocopeat little wet or spagnum. But i saw on a site ''how to send succulents" Just wrap them in paper and do nothing.mmmm To remove the leave's is oke i think for example the stress. But that bamboo stick could be a good idea. I have more than 60 Plumie's at the moment inc. the seedlings so i gonna send 1 to myself and look what i get. Thanks Dave....See MoreBest way to seal off retired heat register

Comments (34)We did oak on our island and stained it dark (Early American mixed with a little Jacobean from Minwax) and then wiped on several coats of Old Masters finish. It looked great - for years. We ate at it, rolled dough on it and generally used it the same as a table top (because essentially that is what it was). We are also in the middle of nowhere (just north of you) and had a carpenter make it for us. I think it cost $500 but that was 12 years ago. Our recent island is made with maple butcherblock and I didn't want it stained so I left it natural but finished it in Osmos instead. I might sand it down and do the Old Master's again as I prefer that finish but the Osmos was easier to do. ETA: We thought we would not finish the new maple top at all and just oil it periodically. That turned out to be a PIA and so we did the Osmos after a few months of trying the oiling....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
