Whoops. Pics didn't show up. Let me try again. #1 #2 #3

You're not the only MNian to not have all of the hosta planted yet. I heard the weather person say that it will be close to 80 on Sat. I'll be at the Agility trials and will ask my DH, the gardener to get'm planted. If we don't get'm all in the ground, he places them in our window wells and covers with leaves and we've had good sucess doing that. Good Luck. Later, Love, Lisa

hey eduardo, I too experienced this lesson growing from seed this year. unfortunately i was growing 5 varieties... Then we have a mystery tomato that doesn't fit anything, looks like a roma now that it's fruiting actually. out of all the varieties we blindly planted vs. gave away, we only ended up with one yellow pear. I just learned about how 'wonderfully tasty' these are from here. ;) I'll give them a fair try but they do look nice so far... and the plant is a monster! heck, i even got a surprise tomatillo I wasn't planning on :) was excited at first but then realized after reading here we weren't gonna get any fruit with only one plant so i pulled it. shame... it was a beauty! welcome to the forum rob

I am reading through a LOT of posts quickly, so hope I'm not stepping on toes...But I don't understand how this became about the island. I understand your frustration with the rabbit trail a bit, Breezy, as even though it's all well-intended, we all know that one change begets many more, and cabinets are already built and going in. It's not really an option, at least, mental health wise, to undo decisions that don't need to be, and weren't worrying you any more. If the chosen fridge won't fit in the hole, it seems the hole must change, or the fridge. If the hole can't change, it leaves the fridge. Believe me, I know what it's like to re-research and choose appliances you thought you'd decided on, but there are lots of choices out there. I like Bmore's suggestion of adding a smaller unit to the island if need be...Or maybe somewhere else. But I know that also starts the chain of changes after you've worked so hard on the storage layout. Mostly, glad to see Bmore back! :-) To the exact point of the OP...It seems the feedback you're getting about Monogram fridges is pretty positive and no reason I see to dismiss those options, even after my own frustration with Monogram. Sounds like they do better with fridges than ovens... Try not to let all of this get to you. The other issues listed in your life come out far ahead on the priority list, as you know, and this is a little blip. It piles on, but breathe and take a break, as necessary, as others have advised. It's a great blessing to have a new kitchen and to have choices. Not a lecture, but hoping you can hang in there. LOL, Kellie. We are all looking forward to seeing your kitchen, Breezy...as you know. :-)
