Help me correct a HUGE rose mistake
Comments (14)Husband neither bought nor planted? A suitable replacement might be a solution even if it involves a lot of digging? If you like the fragrance, Hansa is a good option, and doesn't sucker like the species at all. Neither does Mrs Anthony Waterer, and she has very good fragrance too. If it is the simple flowers you like, Fru Dagmar Hastrup, Carmen and others can provide this. You can check out if the rugosa hybrids that happen to be available near you might meet your requirements. There are lots of well behaved shrub varieties, but very few other than rugosas can offer fragrance, rebloom and hips all in one plant. If it is the thorns you like the least, go for something else than rugosa, they all have them. Best of luck with your decision :-)...See MoreBeginner Mistake with my marigolds, correction???
Comments (7)I thought briefly about ways to put in drainage holes after the fact, but I lack a means of suspending the container while I drill from underneath. My boys are too young to help, and my husband is out of the country. We're meeting him in Fl this Friday, we won't be all back home for another week. It would be pretty difficult for me to get any leverage from below, and I'll need enough room to work so just propping it up on a couple wood block probably wouldn't be sufficient. I have an number of pointy objects, and a cordless drill, even a dremmel. I've got metal bits, plastic bits and masonry bits - so I'm sure I have a too that would get it done if I could figure out how, but then of course I'd be drilling up into the seed bed which may be disturbing as well. This is thick, medium-duty at least plastic, not deli meat container, chinese soup take out that you can just shove a scissors through. I'm talking molded or extruded, commercially produced, rigid plastic - it's gonna take a bit of muscle. I'm not picturing the kitchen fork or knitting needle going through, I'm envisioning the point of my paring knife breaking off. I'm also not sure if something like a hammer and nail theory would cause the plastic to crack. Of course, the crack would drain well. I'll have to look at it from a few other angles and see if there is a way to access it to install drainage. Thanks, Sherri...See MoreMesemb Dish Garden?
Comments (9)I have been going a little troth Garden crazy this spring. Some of these are hardy to different degrees . We will see what lives in the cold hardy to twenty dish next Spring.. I am testing out info from a source on the web. Some I don't believe but I am going to "act as if". I just could not stop buying Graptoveras, Echeverias, sedums and the rosette forming succulents. Many of my plants are tiny and invisible. I have some brown echeveria and graptovera babies without a name nessled in the gravel There was a question about mixing different mesembs, alionopsis, pleiosipilos,faucarias in a dish. I have included those pictures at the end too. Beachplants (or anyone), I have a question for you, the alionopsis malherbei in the last picture has a babble of tiny growth in ithe center of the rosette. Is that meristem damage, desease, next years growth, flower buds? It is the last picture I kinda blew it on my fertilizing Here are some old troth or CALDRON gardens and a smaller cactus troth that I am always changing up . I have two more A. victoria-reginae that are to be inserted into the cracks of the piled rock. They like to grow on cliff walls in Nature. href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36613107@N05/7271657012/" title="Pleiospilos nelii and Echeveria by marasri, on Flickr"> Here is the photo with the Alionopsis question about the plant's center....See Morehelp me correct dumb blonde staining mistake!
Comments (6)bob..no I don't think its really varathane..its by minwax and says its a 'oil modified water based polyurethans"...I took 2 small dishes and mixed the gel stain (which is varathane based product by flecto) with both the poly and the varathane...the gel stain would not mix with the poly but it would with the varathane. I currently have 3 test boards going...one with just the gel rubbed on (i am thinking that the next layer of poly will just lift the stain layer)..one with the combo varathane and gel and one with the combo rubbed on over just gel. it seems to be working in both cases but I didn't want to do something that may end up a big mess in 2 months time.
