I am completely stumped---please help!
Comments (5)A newly planted small hydrangea can do with about 1 gallong of water per watering. Toi make sure the plant needs water, insert a finger to a depth of 4" and water when the soil feels almost dry or dry. The finger method system requires that you test the soil at the same time of the day for about two weeks. Each time you water, you can make a note on a wall calendar indicating that you watered on that day. After two weeks, you can review the notes and determine how often you had to water. Say, every 3/4/5/6 days. Once you know the frequency of waterings using the finger method, you can set up the drip irrigation or sprinkler system to water 1 gallon of water on the same frequency. Should temperatures change by 10-15 degrees and stay there, retest using the finger method again. Reduce watering in the fall and water the soil in winter if you get dry winters and the ground has not frozen. It also helps if you add 3-4" of mulch up to the drip line to maintain the soil moist longer. Wilting is very common with hydrangeas before they are established in the garden. It may take 1-2 years for them to become established. But normally they should recover as the sun goes down and definitely by the next morning. Otherwise, they need to be watered. The wilting problem usually surfaces in the summer months so coller fall temps and wetter weather should soon help. Try not to overwater as that can result in root rot if the roots stay wet too long. The symptoms for root rot are similar to those of plants that do not get enough water: wilting of leaves; the finger method can help guide you if you are not sure when to water....See MoreHow do I arrange big living/dining/play space?
Comments (7)First I have to ask, how committed are you to keeping the big giant blow up bouncy houses in your living space? There is just no hiding them or disguising them. So if you really want to keep both of them, you will always have a room that screams toy haven. Is there a spare bedroom where you can keep the larger one? Or reserve it for use outside? I think the front room will work really well as a child's play area. Using creative storage, covered baskets or even cubes on your white book case can help conceal some toys. Since you are facing into the living room when entering from the front door, if the room with the fireplace is arranged in a cozy manner, that will be the first thing you see. Is there any way you can put the couch beneath the window, and the TV next to the fireplace where the white chair is? This way when people walk in they don't see the back of the couch and the TV facing them. Maybe you can move the chair to the corner of the play room, with a small storage cube ottoman in front to hold toys. I agree, I think your dining area should stay close to the kitchen in the blue room. Otherwise it will be completely impractical when serving dinner or having guests over for a meal....See MorePlease help me arrange my living room!
Comments (4)Could you center the couch w/ the window and move the chair (angled) to the opposite end? That way, someone could see the tv from the chair as well....See MoreHelp - Our family room! How do I arrange our furniture
Comments (9)Can the fish tank sit on top of the record player? Those could go between the windows. Personally, I would have put the TV on the wall right of the FP where you have the whatnot shelves and would have floated the two loves in an "L" out in front of the TV/FP area. The chair and ottoman would go in the recess by the closet for a quiet reading nook. Add a bookcase and lamp to flesh that out. You can still try that arrangement, but there is not much space for seating within easy viewing distance of the TV when it is high, smushed in to the corner and adjacent to the stair area, doors and traffic path. You might seriously want to reconsider the TV placement for optimal use of the space with your current furnishings....See Moreemmarene9
