My first Gladiolus. I'm so proud!!
Comments (12)I don't grow gladiolas since I can't be bothered digging the bulbs in fall but that combo pic of the Stokesia, yarrow (Coronation Gold?) & glad is a stunning combination of color. The brick walkway makes a lovely textural contrast. Well done you!...See MoreI'm so proud of myself!
Comments (6)Good job karma! I'm proud of you too! Isn't it funny how gardening gives you little "boosts" every now and then? Just when you think nothing's ever going to grow the way you want or bloom when you want...something great happens! GGG -- Me too. I collected grounds all year last year, and they really heated up my compost pile! But, I learned my lesson about the coffee filters. I was told they'd break down easily too, but they don't seem to in my pile. I'm not going to use them this year. I guess if I cut them all up into little pieces they might break down better, but not sure I have the time. We drink a LOT of coffee! LOL...See MoreI'm so proud of myself...
Comments (23)Gina, I was thinking that the hand vac might benefit you. Sometimes you just need some suction above the floor (I'm baiting EJ)... the hand vac would be a perfect supplement to that stick vac since the stick vac doesn't have a hose. Nice also that you can swap the batteries out if one were to die in the middle of a job. Those batteries are supposed to last a good long time though. David, try putting the fried chicken or bacon in the pantry instead of the 'fridge and discovering them a week later! And I was only 24 when I pulled those stunts! Here's a pic of the hand vac since it wasn't in the other picture. It looks good too! Lee, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't comment on your stick vac! (Your observations are spot on though... decent on bare floors, but not so good on carpet) It was recalled about a year ago! There was a case where the battery exploded in a ladies hand and caused severe injury. The batter is in the handle of the part where you hold it if take it out of the stick "shell" and use it as a hand vac. If you only use it as a stick vac, you should be far enough away if it were to explode. I just wouldn't want anything to happen to you, dear sweet Lee (that's my middle name, by the way :o) Lee, I'm linking to a story about the recall that has model numbers so you can check and see if yours is one of those affected by the recall. Fair warning though, there's a picture of the lady's hand at the bottom and it's graphic. Here is a link that might be useful: Electrolux recall......See MoreI'm so proud of my DH-Pics
Comments (16)Orubis...You have no idea how timely your post is! The gutters are going in on Tuesday followed by French drains on Wednesday. :o) We don't have gutters on our current house (never needed them), but the new house is a whole different story. We realized after the first heavy rain that they'd be neccessary. It's been pouring rain for 2 days and there are trenches where it's coming off the house. The puddles are turning into lakes. *sigh* Since we're on the subject of gutters, we were amazed at the variance in bids that we got for them. We need 141 LF and 10 downspouts with a few miters. We had 4 bids that were between 800-900, 1 for 1700, and another for 2700!!! I think that guy's method of bidding a job was to see how much he owed in bills that month. LOL...See More
