First off, how much shade? Even lettuce likes nearly full sun. You might get poor growth if too much shade. Also, choose a slow bolt variety, otherwise, I believe it is as much the day length as the heat that bolts greens. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Good luck. I look forward to reading this thread.

Can you identity this king size bed? I fell in love with this bed when I saw it in a second hand shop. After getting it home, I realized that it was poorly painted black by the pervious owner. I believe it is solid cherry wood because the color, and grain of the back of the headboard. I canÂt be sure with out a professional looking at the bed and I know I canÂt bring it to them for just a look. So, I am hoping someone knows more about the bed, like who manufactured the bed ? Also, I am thinking about removing the black paint. The pervious owner did not prime or sand it, they just painted it black, complete with drips and They skipped the very top flat top piece of the bed completely. I donÂt know if I would be better off trying to remove the paint and re-paint or to remove the old paint and then re- stain. Lastly, it has to slots for the rails set is 79 inches apart, which makes it a king size bed and the other is set at 73 inches. Is that for a Queen? any work to be done, I will have to do it. Lastly, I loved the bed when I first saw it so, if nothing else what would you clean this piece with? Would you use mineral spirits to clean painted furniture or just soap and water? The first 2 pictures are the headboard and the last 2 are the footboard.Any comments would be helpful.

dlm, that is a beautiful bed. I like the linens and the way your bed frame eliminates the need for a bedskirt. Re the first pix - I have that bedskirt and hate it. JCPenny - it is very thin and wrinkles easily, I am thinking of cutting up my old white (quilted) bedspread and sewing it onto the edge of the bedskirt, on the outside to completely change the look. That way, it will have some heft and go better with my new quilted bedspread. My bedspread and shams are white, but the linens are hot pink. I agree with the poster who guessed the item at the end of the bed is a whole piece quilt. It doesn't lay as flat as an empty duvet would. I used to have one of these from my grandmother. It was a blue print with a bit of pink and yellow. Old timey!

oh so cute! the little harness is a good choice -- i've had one for my little terriers, and the two times i was in a hurry to get them out and just attached the leash to the collar, i realized the harness was truly protective of their necks and vocal chords.
