I've got news...a Senior moment
Comments (10)Wonderful news-- congratulations! I really think when you're working with that size budget, your job should be a paid position, even if it doesn't pay what it's worth. Seriously, if you're going to be putting in as many hours as you do on your job, a salary might allow you hire someone to take up a few hours of your regular work now and then. I know you're doing what you do as a labor of love, and I really admire you for it--- I'd just hate to see you burn out. Delagating responsibility is important, but it can be difficult to find people who agree to help...and not everyone who says they'll help will actually come through. Is there some kind of a board that you could ask to consider awarding you a stipend? There are only so many hours in the day. You're looking at two full-times jobs, both emotionally demanding! If you've got a good, enthusiastic group, maybe it will get easier. It's really wonderful of you to take the project on -- and really great that you got the funding! Just take care of yourself so you've still got your best to give :)...See MoreNew Vinyl Windows...I've got a question
Comments (8)Thought I'd let you know how it all turned out. We spent all day on the internet, calling salesmen and checking out what the various ratings all meant. I swear that we could be window salesmen now!! The chambers give you added strength as well. The waaaaay more expensive Vinyltech Sears windows had 12 chambers, 1 more seal but you pay for additional openings. The Amsco windows are a lower grade at 5 chambers, but all the openings are included, 1 less seal (which doesn't matter as long as they are installed properly), low e coating included and have a nicer finish inside because they use 1/4" round inside the frame to block off an ugly looking "crack". The company using these windows will also fix the problems with our Sears installation by adding more caulking to those windows. Basically, we chose the cheaper windows (by 1/2 the price!!) because we didn't need a Ferrari in the basement when a Volvo would do....and we're hoping to be much happier with their installation crew. Wish us luck!! Thank you all for your suggestions....See MorePlease help! I've got the flower types-- will they work together?
Comments (3)Just a thought but have you looked at bloom times for these plants . Do you want your plants all blooming at the same time and finished blooming at the same time or do you want only one plant dominating the view at one time ?In a mixed garden for extended bloom it is important to pick plants that bloom early , mid season and late season. So along with what you have picked as main plants you may want to intersperse with other complimentary plants that either bloom in conjunction with your main focal plants or layer plants ( ie. bulbs under the plants that bloom early and say when your alliums are blooming they are dying back and when your alliums are dying back ( by the way the heads make an interesting addition to the garden when the blooms are finished ) then another plant is ready to take over the blooms. For me I grow daylilies .....extra early, early , mid , late and very late blooms take me pretty much thru the season . However early for a daylily is maybe end of june so I have other plants like snowdrops, crocus , tulips, daffodils, narcissus that take up the early spring , then alliums and iris , solomons seal and early perennial poppies , then come the summer plants .....so just something to consider so that you have bloom from spring to fall .

Comments (8)I dont know what it is. But generaly speaking you need a free draining soil that doesnt stay wet, just moist. Your soil looks to be gardening soil or something similar. The particles are too small and through surface tension they keep the soil too wet. You need more info like species for specifics like when you can repot. When you can, IMO, you should change the soil to a gritty quick draining mix with a bit of organics to retain a bit of water without rotting your roots. And get it out in the sun asap, considering species and location. I hope that helps a little. Watering is a little hard to get right and hss everything to do with your soil make up. And soil make up is like pasta sauce, everyone has their method and mix. Lots of info is out there about soil make up and properties. Sometimes its refered to as soil wars! Good luck with your tree....See Morebettyd_z7_va
