Does anyone get a bit depressed about now? Or......
Comments (13)Well we just had the worst summer that I can remember, we didn't have a great spring either. Now we're being told we can look forwards to a wet, very cold and lots of snow winter. Yeah I'd say it's just a tad depressing. In past years we've had some very mild winters with no snow at all. Keeping my fingers crossed for a better year in 2011. Although not new to vegetable gardening I haven't done too much of it in the past few years. I've been lurking here on this forum for the past few months sorta getting myself back in the veggie mode. May I introduce myself...I've been a gardener all my life (73 years young), my grandparents were great gardeners, produced most of the food they ate. It seemed to have skipped a generation but the love of gardening rubbed off on me. When our kids flew the coop I turned more to the decorative side of gardening but for some time now I've become interested in heirloom varieties of vegetables, beans in particular as Happy well knows:), keeping my own seed, and the concept of the 100 mile diet. Although we only have a city sized lot I have a lot crammed in it. Next spring I will be converting a 20 ft long perennial border back to veggies, I know not very big in most of your eyes but I should be able to grow a few things. I have a small raspberry bed where I grow the canes woven horizontally along wire, we get loads of raspberries this way, enough for us (freezer raspberry jam and raspberry vinegar) and enough to feed my daughter's family. Have a raised bed cut into a small slope, the front of the bed is waist high, the back ground level, it does warm up very quickly in the spring, it has a fibreglass roof so quite often grow tomatoes in this bed, I have netting strung on the back where I grow my main crop of beans. I have to tuck things in here and there but manage to grow a lot of herbs, garlic this year, frog's leg shallots are in for next year. Tomatoes (not successfully), lettuce, cucumbers, beans, garlic, herbs, shallots, peppers (not successfully) and carrots were all I grew in the veggie line last year. I have a small rhubarb patch which produces heavily every year, but the peach tree outlived it's productivity and is now gone so no more home canned peaches :(. Once again I've been long winded but I'm looking forward to exchanging ideas with you all in the coming year. Cheers....Annette...See MoreDoes anyone have anything good to say about Viking?
Comments (113)We bought entire suite of Viking Appliances 4 years ago. 36" dual fuel range replaced 3 times under warranty. Built in panal ready fridge replaced once. Built in dishwasher just had a pump replaced. Only 2 people live in the home. So glad I had extended warranty. Almost forgot the convection microwave replaced once and broke twice. I have no idea how reliable the other "premium brands" are. Appliances in the old kitchen were 25 years old still running....See MoreDoes anyone have information about Fresca?

Comments (17)We thought we were so close that it would be no problem. Most of the work being done, with "most" being a famous last word now. Yes, we did get all the moldings stained, finished, cut and up. Hooray! We have more recessed lighting to install (the boxes are there in the attic wired and capped, waiting for final steps). Husband had avoided doing a full ceiling sheetrocking; seemed eco-friendly and budget friendly at the time. (These decisions always do.) The sheetrock around the old light fixture had years of heat and whatever. Therefore, plaster just crumbled when we put the Halo can in. Argh. Many phone calls. Patching. I need to go to a special store. Will the "mistake ring" arrive at our lighting store soon and will it cover enough of the problem? These are the days of our lives. When we're not chasing down our kids. Stairs to the family room, still not done. Subcontractor had to make those special, wanted to finish some bigger jobs first. More famous last words. Goes it without saying that I too lack a backsplash? I liked a "value" (really a relative term) glass tile from Ann Sacks. But then I find out that really I want the clear poly grout, and the installation really goes up in price. And too, I have the rest of my granite on hold. I have enough granite to do both my bathroom vanities upstairs. And I ought to do those tile backsplashes at the same time... A decision before February is needed....See MoreJodi_SoCal
