We have all lost a Great Man 'the Dahila Guru'
Comments (4)Thanks for posting this Diane. I've been sad about this loss since I heard the news last week. I had great respect for Bernie who so freely shared his knowledge of dahlia care. He was working on an updated photo/article for the ADS, I think, and I wish they'd publish it in his honor. For any of you using the plastic wrap tuber storage method, the Mandella Method, you have Bernie and Midge Mandella along with Dr. Richard Peters to thank for your success. We have lost a real innovator and generous man....See MoreBarbara Worl
Comments (28)Ingrid, they have waaaay too much food. They dig in the pots not to find food, but to plant acorns and pecans. Coyotes are opportunistically making their way to our part of the world. Supposedly, there was at least one sighting in a nearby neighborhood, but I'm not confident that folks around here can identify coyotes. (They are in our area, but the controversial dog-or-coyote video was from a nearby town.) We don't have ground squirrels here, but have an overabundance of the infamous Eastern Gray Squirrel that has become such a problem in Britain. Virginia...See MoreWe are currently having to rebuild.

Comments (19)So sorry you lost your home. Since you have lemons, make lemonade from the situation. Sorry, that sounds bad, but there is nothing like a fresh start. You're still young at 47 but if you expect this to be your forever home and not plan to retire to a warmer area of the country, you'll need to keep certain things in mind. We don't know where you live or what your life is like, but I can't imagine that a home larger than 3 bedrooms and 3 baths is needed. A 2,000 to 2,500 sq. ft. home should be more than enough. Property taxes never go down nor insurance, so are you in a special area in the country where a 3,000 sq.ft has minimal property taxes and insurance? My sister lives in an up and desirable area of the country and has a 1,500 sq. ft. home and her taxes are more than $6k per year! Unless there is something special about that lot, I agree that moving into a brand new home somewhere else might be far less stressful. You'll likely want a first floor master and maybe a first floor guest room if you think an aged parent might be in your future. Down here in Florida, two story homes often have a closet on the first floor that matches the location of a closet on the second floor to allow for a future electric lift. Good luck and come back when you make some decisions about where to live....See MoreAnother One Bites the Dust -- those who have lost S hahniis -
Comments (11)Hi Again Amanda, Well, thx, don't know abt expert save, may be too soon to say, it's quite recent. Camera's acting up, but I noticed today, the center of the plant is quite erect (pardon me, don't know how else to say that). I deciding here & now, if I ever buy more Hahniis, I will only pot them in clay pots. I too have killed Sans. from underwatering; I don't often meet others who have, funny. Good analogy abt being the Gardenia of the Sans. world, funny we both know that. Had you ever read the Suicidal Gardenia thread, which had over 100 posts? I once printed out the whole thing & took it to a friend in hospital for his amusement, especially since he bloomed his Gardenia w/ no trouble. Basia, 4 yrs. w/ a 'Jade' seems a pretty good run. I had a very nice one I'd gotten w/ the pair in the photo above which I lost after abt 6 months, no idea why. It was a beauty, very dark, I was so bummed. Having heard of Lechuza Pon but never used it, I'll be curious to hear of your experiments afterwards....See More- 11 years ago
