Comments (31)Milehighgirl, thanks for the links. I should have said, but ee planted a small orchard thi spring. We did so will all of our trees purchased from stark bros. nursery. We planted: Apples: stark golden delicious, stark grand gala, red Fuji, goldfish, enterprise, empire, and candycrisp. Cherries: northstar and stark surecrop Peach: intrepid and reliance Plum: bubblegum and starking delicious plum Pear: orient, moonglow, and starking delicious pear I hope we chose ok! Were certainly novices and my father in law has had good luck with his trees purchased from Stark. I'll be asking for pruning help this spring for sure!...See Morenew house/new rose gardener
Comments (2)I can't tell you what they are at the moment. I think you will have to will 'til spring. If you are in zone 5 you will probably be wise to winterize the roses just in case they aren't winter hardy. Mound some dry soil over the base of the plant so that the bud union (the lumpy bit at or around soil level) is well covered by 4 to 6 inches. Then cover the mound with some mulch like pine needles, shredded leaves, wood chips, shredded bark etc. to a depth of maybe 12 inches. You can use a cage of chicken wire to hold it in. When it snows make sure they are well covered by snow even if you have to shovel a bit on yourself. Then sit back and wait until spring. In about April or whenever things start to warm up, start slowly uncovering the bush. Scrape off the mulch and over about a week or two gently wash the soil from around the canes. Trim off any dead wood and away you go !!...See MoreNew house, new office. Need suggestions please!
Comments (2)So without any dimensions just going off what I can see in the photo here is a conceptual layout. I'm visualizing SW Passive as the dominant color with Seawashed Glass as the accent. I hope this helps!...See MoreNew House, New Style- help me get direction and make decisions
Comments (177)Oh that's okay....Sometimes I'm looking on CL and I know we have the same vibe going on. I think you're right though----dfw seems to have better stuff. Maybe due to the floods down there? The sofa I showed above is on my CL. I like the table and that's the idea on CL...you need to know the area and check out the what the house looks like in the listing pics. It's part luck, part detective work :) Nice houses usually have good stuff. I had the same trouble with my coffee table...my table is too low (it's from the 70's and they just were that way, I think) and too short. But I like it and there are no decor police. Also, it might be considered a tea table, which have always been higher (closer to end-table height).....See Morezack_lau z6 CT ARS Consulting Rosarian
