Tomato question requesting advice
Comments (3)Assuming you actually have delayed blooming, then it is sometimes a result of nutrient imbalance or a deficiency in the soil. For example, a common situation that results from excess Nitrogen is large healthy green plants - with no blooms. Phosphorous deficiency in the soil can also delay blooms. Or an out of whack soil pH that binds up the nutrients so they are unavailable to the plants. So are these in containers or in the ground? If in the ground, what amendments were added prior to planting? If containers, what potting mix is used? How often and with what have they been fed? Also weather, unusual cool and damp weather or overwatering, can also delay blooming. Lastly, April 2 to May 10 is just 6 weeks. Tomatoes generally run in a 6 week cycle of growth and blooming. So best case is that they are perfectly normal. Why do you feel they are delayed? Dave...See MoreGift To Estranged SD - Advice Requested
Comments (27)Just to answer some of the questions in previous posts; SD unfortunately did not do well in school in the second half of her Junior year in the new FL HS, mainly C's and D's. When the girlfriend did come down to visit during the VA schools spring break (not the break period for FL schools) SD skipped school for 3 days to hang with her girlfriend. Biofather was not happy and told my mother-in-law during a phone call that the girlfriend was a bad influence and was no longer allowed to visit. This was the same girlfrined that was planned to live in the home in FL. SD was allowed to lay around all summer, no job, no vacation, no activites. SD has not been "allowed" to get her learners permit or drivers license, thus no BMW car and no driving (as of 10/1). In the fall (senior year) SD has enrolled in just a few classes for 1/2 day opting for a work-study program where she is to work 1/2 day for real world work experience. Her job is working directly for her biofather as his personal secretary at the pizza shop he manages. Biofather is not a college graduate and he does not "see the need for his daughter to go to college." From phone call with mother-in-law. To clarify the SD room issue, when I returned from a 2 week business trip I found that my wife had cleaned up SD's room and taken apart the bed to thoroughly clean the room (room was a mess,smelled, and SD had responsibility and freedom with her room). Next day SD shows up completely unexpected for a 3 day visit with instructions to "pack" from biofather. Boyfriend picked her up at the airport and we had no idea she was coming. I immediately told my wife that the room was a negative signal and she did not agree with me at the time. Nothing premeditated or planned/intended here, just very unfortunate timing and my wife did intend to keep this as SD's room. I could see that SD was unhappy even though she was rarely home those days, opting to spend all 3 days of her visit time with her boyfriend. SD did no packing at all during her visit. After my post on this forumn and discussions with my wife, she realized the possible negative signal inadvertently sent and SD's room was certainly re-assembled with an apology message sent. SD's room is complete and is there for her. Wish my wife (and I) were perfect people! Bad luck on this one. My wife and I have decided to return to our original plan from some time ago; to select a very special Tiffany's gift and either give it to my SD at our celebration dinner in FL, or mail it to her promptly if necessary. SD is in BD's care and we are moving on. Thank you all for your best wishes and the sincere advice. I really appreciate it....See MoreRequest advice from book lovers
Comments (10)"She is not looking to make money; she wants the books to stay as sets and to be appreciated. So the obvious solutions such as booksellers, public libraries, and even the US Dept of State annual book fair are not suitable." It's of course easier to be pragmatic when the situation is not personal but here goes....your friend is trying to dictate from beyond the grave so to speak. She is asking that her possessions be disposed of in a way that requires you to meet two conditions that are probably not possible (they must be appreciated and must stay in a set). Agreeing to honor these stipulations will also entail a very arduous and most likely futile effort on your part. The reality is that deciding one's possessions must be handled in a certain very prescribed fashion after the owner is gone is a way to try to keep control in the face of the reality that after she is gone, the books become objects that must be disposed of. So the goal actually becomes a choice: give books to people who want, need and will read them OR find a specified donor who will agree to certain conditions (books must stay as a set etc) that really don't have any meaning to anyone other than the deceased person who collected them. And last but far from least, it is an entirely personal decision on YOUR part as to whether and how much time, effort and aggravation you feel you want to take on to try to honor this request which is not practical and likely to be unsuccessful. Aside from keeping books in sets, it's become increasingly more challenging to dispose of books in general other than the very wise and thoughtful options raised in this discussion. Sadly, as the generation raised on 'real' books passes on, all those volumes don't find nearly as many takers as perhaps once was the case....See MoreBathroom lighting advice requested
Comments (3)The best lighting in a bath near a mirror could be the old double swag, one on either side of the mirror somewhere out of the elbow knocking it area? LOL If you put it above your head/mirror...you get shadows. You might should look into a pair of sconces on the wall at about temple height, your temples that is..... on either side of the mirror. That would likely be best.. https://www.build.com/progress-lighting-p300084/s1426556?uid=3354999&source=gg-gba-pla_with_promotion_3354999!c1046160435!a53027215564!dc!ng&gclid=CjwKCAjw6-_eBRBXEiwA-5zHaeTUU_dOftfWPHAfO4gvU_M9b43XlNo25RrJNfMh6rT2PxyaEBsUyRoC_V0QAvD_BwE...See Moremonicakm_gw
