That's what I figured also CT, it seems that interest has dwindled down to the precious few. But wait!....I hear a sweet tweet, tweet.... yes!..... it's the Jeanner bird.... awoken from her week-end slumber and ready to go. Good for you Jeanner! Rack 'em up CT and lets play ball! "Horton"

Can roses actually have spina bifida??? I have to say that this thread really made me laugh -- and also feel much better about my amateur efforts. I just paid a guy to do some major landscaping in my back yard and leave me some spaces for roses. I'm planning on lots. Now I feel better about my choices and if they don't "gel" then its ok. Even the experts have bad days.

I checked my Speed oven, the max temp is 450F, check to see what the max temp of the Elux OTR is. I believe it was Antss, that said , unless it is 220-240 volts it really cant act as an oven---maybe some other folks here---have some inputs on the 120 volt units?(Like the Advantium for example).Anyway, a good first start, check the max temp of the Elux OTR. Thank you for the kind words too. Our granite is called "Arandis Gold" It is a Brazillian Granite, and is in the "Juperana Family". You may have noticed that we are bit of rebels when it came to backsplash, but I like to look in and see the granite without having to stand over it, also as we have a lotta roses and I usually have a bouquet there, You can see the reflection of the roses in the granite---you know, without grout lines---that's just "Our Personal Preference" and not saying this is for everyone--but we took out tile to put in the granite and I just didn't want to mess around with grout, anymore--and not crazy bout "grout lines" in the reflection of the roses (LOL). I will "clean up" the kitchen a bit and show more pictures in "Our Next Contest" (which I will issue a "Challenge" to Mojavean in my next post!!(LOL) Good luck on your pending decisions, hopefully you have friends and/or neighbors that might have some of the "mini-ovens" you are considering!

I'm a little disappointed in Brandy Boy. It is heavily infected with early blight, and the only tomatoes on the plant are the ones that formed back in late May, when I first put them in the ground. My other tomatoes are resisting EB much better, and they are continually setting new fruit. 'Beefsteak' has already given me ripe tomatoes. 'KBX' should follow suit in a day or two. Brandy Boys look just as green as ever. In Brandy Boy's defense, it has the largest tomatoes out of all my plants, and it also has the most fruit setting on one truss. Hopefully, in a few more days I will have some ripened fruit to show everyone. However, unless the taste is absolutely out-of-this-world, I probably won't grow Brandy Boy again.
