St. Cecilia apple?
Comments (3)Thanks for your suggestions. IÂve already ordered St. Cecilia from Trees of Antiquity for delivery next winter, but am having second thoughts about it. Perhaps I should ask ToA if I could change my mind, and swap it for something else. Perhaps Suntan? Grimes Golden? Fameuse? I donÂt have those. TheyÂre selling out on some varieties already, I can order Rubinette from another nursery, since Trees of Antiquity doesnÂt carry it. The Cherry Cox apple from Sandy Bar Ranch and Nursery also sounds interesting....See MoreSt. Cecelia full backsplash
Comments (14)Julie92 - I did have them (this is my old kitchen I did in my last house) and I did like them, with the exception of the dishwasher . . . it was louder than I would have liked. The dual fuel range was great and the microwave had many cool options. We only had the kitchen for about a year before I got bored and we bought another house so I don't know how they hold up. :-) If you are looking at getting them, check ebay! We got that set from an ebay store called Camdens for a screaming deal. They sell them in packages but will let you change things out and customize them. SUPER nice people to work with - they even filled out our rebate paperwork and mailed it in for us so we wouldn't miss the deadline....See MoreScepter'd Isle, St. Cecilia, The Lady Gardener-
Comments (41)Lilyfinch, neither of my Spirit of Freedom plants want to climb. The 6 yr. old is own root, a little more than 4' tall, and vase shaped. The 1 yr. old, is grafted, and much bushier than the older one. I've seen pictures of SofF climbing, so it may in your climate, especially if it's trained onto a structure. It is always healthy, maybe because it's so dry here. I know you will love it regardless of the form it takes....See MoreMost environmentally friendly black spot spray for David A St. Cecilia
Comments (33)Ah, Label Peeler! That's where I got mine. I forgot the name, and after my previous computer crashed, I couldn't access my old files. Thanks for finding it. As to how I learn this stuff, I just do a lot of googling. When someone mentions a product that catches my eye, I look it up, and check active ingredients. I remembered that bit about GreenCure because it prompted me to buy the active ingredient by itself. So, if you plan to use 2 tablespoons potassium bicarbonate per gallon of water, I'd recommend putting half potassium bicarbonate and half hot water (in that order) in the mixer, and setting the dial to 4 tablespoons per gallon. That allows for better dissolving of the powder. You double the strength at the dial because it's half-strength with the hot water in the canister. If you're adding 1 tablespoon per gallon of the soap, then you have to do a little more math. You'll want to figure out the volume of the hose-end sprayer's canister, fill one third with potassium bicarbonate, one half with hot water, and one sixth with soap -- in that order, so as to avoid the soap foaming up, and making a mess with the powder. It's also easier to do the soap last because you're just squirting it from the bottle until you reach the fill line. Learn from my mistakes -- haha! Then you set the dial to 6 tablespoons per gallon. How to get that? 2 tablespoons potassium bicarbonate per gallon of water plus 1 tablespoon soap per gallon of water equals 3 tablespoons of them together per gallon of water. That also means that, of the mix, 2/3 is potassium bicarbonate, and 1/3 is soap. But that's half of the container, the other half being hot water, so you half them as well -- 1/3 of the container with potassium bicarbonate, 1/2 with hot water, and 1/6 with soap. Then, since it's diluted to half strength in the canister with hot water, you'll have to double the strength on the dial to get the same dosage coming out of the sprayer. If you couldn't follow along, no worries....just trust me that the math works out, and you'll end up with a spray that's 2 tablespoons potassium bicarbonate and 1 tablespoon soap per gallon of water hitting your roses' foliage. :-) ~Christopher...See Moreingrid_vc so.
