well Thunderbolt is turning into my real problem plant..However I think the issue is that my first year I planted WAY to close to my shrubs..and they are strangling some of my Hosta. I moved out the planter to give them more room.. But now I find myself second guessing when to try moving them...

"when they installed the baseboard, there are gaps between the floor and the baseboard. " Out of level or out of flat? It sounds more like out of flat, and depending on how much it might have been simple (just a few shims) or very complex (like ripping out the sub floor and shimming or sistering the joists). You can always hide the variation with shoe mold or quarter round (I think it makes a more finished look with some molding that matches the floor material and finish anyway).

The weather in Dubai is actually perfect right now for final planting of seedlings but I was traveling so I could not start tomato seeds indoors earlier. I planted seeds on November 2nd even though I might only have time for for one flush of tomatoes before the winter here is over. This season I will grow the varieties Rose and Kellogg's Breakfast- both new varieties for me. The Rose seeds started germinating in only 3 days and the KB started on the 4th. Things are moving along pretty fast so I hope I can pot up once and then do the final planting by mid-December.

This is what I work with, all seedlings bought seeds some time ago from Laaz an old citrus forum. The resulting tree,s are now my base for grafting, they are not even mark any more. Here are the names, Varigated Sour orange, Miyagawa, Juanita, changshou, Flying Dragon. Due to my restrain on potted tree,s , I have to either topwork tree,s or make combo tree,s. My aproach might not be very helpful to this forum but I am known to do crazy things.
