What to do about these?
Comments (10)What a refreshing departure from meat ball shrubs - meat cube shrubs. I would definitely dig them and put something else in this spot. If you want to move them to an area where they can grow normally, and not just discard them, it might be worth a shot. You can dig them up (soon), replant them elsewhere, and try restorative pruning until they've shown whether they can recover or not. Reach into the plant and cut off about one third of the closely spaced side branches, back to the main stem, or A main stem if there isn't a single leader. This will allow more light into the center of the plant, will break up the rigid outline, and may encourage more natural growth. By the third year the shrub will have an informal and more natural shape, if it is ever going to....See MoreDo You Recognize these?
Comments (8)Tangerine Twist is really close, but I don't have a Tangerine Twist on my master list. I figured the double would be easier to ID as there aren't too many doubles. I do have a master list. So as people make suggestions, I can check my list to see if it's a possibility. If not, I'll sit down during winter and go thru my master list to re-name my lost-name daylilies. I really love both of these so I'd like to find their names again....See MoreWhat do you do about daylilies you don't like?
Comments (27)I bring them to work and give them to my co-workers. I do that with a lot of the extra divisions and seedling plants in the spring. This year I brought in 10 or so divisions of Siloam Doodlebug and 8 divisions of Snowy Eyes and a few of some others. I also bring in other plants, like Lady's mantle, iris, perennial geraniums and stuff. I hate composting perfectly good plants and I'm too lazy to sell them. Most of my co-workers are not die-hard gardeners like us and don't care about things like names and genetics - they're just happy to get a nice plant with neat flowers for free! I've been doing this for a few years and it's always fun to have people come back to me and rave over a plant I gave them a year or 2 ago....See MoreSorry to keep bugging you all, but how about these?
Comments (33)I agree with what you are saying about the backsplash. You do want the granite to be the star -- it's very beautiful but quiet and elegant. I'm a designer so I'll explain how I would approach it and perhaps it will help. If the paint color is changing, I'd pick that first and be absolutely sure it is perfect. I'd get it up on the walls and make a big, actual swatch of the paint color from the same paint used on the walls. I'd take that sample plus a granite sample to tile stores for reference. Easier to pick the tile based on compatibility with those. Then bring tile samples home. Paint can have an undertone which affects color in the whole room. Tile will have an undertone as well. You want those in synch. We've seen what happens when they're not. I think any small-scale crackle style tile (could be small diamonds, 2 x 4 subways, 2 x 2s, a shape, 4 x 4 squares that can be stagged etc...) will look very good in your kitchen. I think you must want a little glitz vs matte in there or you wouldn't be attracted to the glass mosaic. It's difficult to pick tile after everything is up. Somehow back splashes and sink faucets, which are so important, become stepchildren to the cabinets and counters which I think are much easier to pick....See Moreffreidl
