The Kitchen Table

Does this happen to anyone else

18 years ago

I came to Kitchen Table to see if there were any new posts.

I use my scroll wheel to scan down the list,

so sometimes something will go by faster than I can process it.

I scrolled down past two post titles:

Astronaut Talks About Aliens

Finally Saw Momma Mia

Except the way I read it was:

Astronauts Finally Saw Momma Mia

I had to go back and re-read those two titles.

Kinda like my own game of combine two post titles.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Scrolling too fast to read the whole title

and the post titles start running together?

Watering in container qustion?
Q
Comments (2)
If you're continually watering when only the top two inches feel dry, your root issues are from over-watering, not under-watering. The root workhorses are the fine, almost microscopic feeder roots - and they grow wherever cultural conditions are favorable. Remember too, that just because the soil FEELS dry, it doesn't mean it IS dry (from the plant's perspective). Soils feel dry long before they are so dry the water in them is being held too tightly for plants to access. There is generally around a 15% cush in container soils between 'feels dry' and 'IS too dry'. That the larger roots at the top of the container are in soil that FEELS dry is of VERY little consequence. The primary function of the large roots near the surface are anchoring, hydraulic (water/nutrient) transport, and energy storage. Just like the trunk and branches, they needn't be wet or moist to function in these capacities. Al

I have had that problem with a lemon tree, the ants were in the dirt, just get some ant killer granules and put them in the dirt, they will not hurt the tree.

Does your cabinets next to oven get warm when the oven is in use?
Q
Comments (9)
"Many manufacturers will require a heat shield between a range and cabinets or ovens and cabinets." Residential kitchen equipment is zero clearance to the sides and back. The sides and back can be directly against flammable surfaces without any fire hazard. This is one of the problems that show up when commercial equipment is used in a residential setting. Most commercial gear is NOT zero clearance, and does not even have to follow rules about oven door temperatures. In a commercial kitchen you are expected to know the doors (and even the door handles if the equipment has been on all day) are hot enough to burn. Insulation only slows the movement of heat, it does not stop it. Turn the oven on high enough for long enough and the cabinets will get warm. Run a self clean cycle and they will get warm even quicker.

I started with hydroton earlier than growstones so I have more cuttings rooted in it. I now prefer hydroton over growstones but only because of that. Time will tell. I also used some of them both in my potting mix for my plants that needed potting/repotting. Not much, because I also use perlite, but I figure it helps with soil aeration since it says that even on the bags. :) I first ordered a small bag of hydroton from ebay for half the price I paid on a big bag 5-7 times bigger later on. But I had to try it on first, right? i think it really depends on everyone's microclimate. Trial and error.

Hi Pooh,

I don't recall having any mix-ups of titles along the line that you suggest.

I'm currently in n-w NC and planning to visit my niece in Gainesville, GA, for a few days, going over tomorrow (Sunday, July 27) afternoon.

After vsiting my niece and family, I'm planning to be going close enough to Chatanooga to make a visit possible, if you may be available about Thursday or Friday, more likely the latter.

My son may be wanting me to help him with something about then, but if I'm free it would be nice to get together again.

Send directions to my email address if you're interested.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Joyful Ed, we are planning a trip up to Kentucky
some time around then to see our daughter and grandkids.
I don't have the exact dates, only Cindy knows that.
So we won't be here when you drive thru.

jannie,

I've been having trouble reading some of the billboards, licence plates, etc. ... I love to see the stuff that people put on those vanity plates.

The optometrist tells me that I have cataracts, so am due for surgery in a couple of weeks.

They assure me that I'll be able to "see things more clearly" then.

Which I assume to be a commentary on my eyesight, rather than my good judgement.

"We'll see" ... as the saying goes.

Sorry that you're to be elsewhere, Pooh. Maybe we can meet again sometime: I enjoyed the last one.

Good wishes for the coming days - may they bring the fufillment of some of your dreams ... and some hatching of new ones (worthwhile ones, of course).
