Vintage, just received...
Comments (119)There are no ways to take them with you in the move? Might you make arrangements with others who grow them for cuttings or plants after the move? Might it be a good time to learn to propagate or make arrangements with other forum members to propagate them for you? I would volunteer to help, but my only sure fire method of propagation is closing for the season. It's getting warm enough out there to inhibit rooting and this material is already pushed too far for wrapping. Plus, I'm maxed out on room until what's already there is gone.

Comments (49)I have some love/hate groundcovers myself. I think the biggest criteria for my love/hate ratio is the combination of how it grows (fast/slow) and where it is located. i.e. not all fast growers are hated if they are in the right place I just pulled out about 100 sq ft of pachasandra because it just got everywhere. I will miss it in the winter. (pre-snowcover). I have a huge patch of bunchberry (Cornus canadensis) that spreads very quickly, but it is in a part-shade woody tree-shrub area and it really seems to fit the woodland less-manicured feel. I also suspect it would be hard to eradicate if I wanted to. It has those thin roots that go everwhere and break easily. But I love it where it is. I have creeping veronica Waterperry in a perennial bed and it stays put nicely. Love it. I also have Georgia Blue but it is much more aggressive. I have to pull it back severely twice a year. Dislike it (but not enough to remove it). I have a gold variegated one that barely grows. I moved it this year to a new place it may do better. Lamium 'Pink Nancy' wanders and blends in nicely. It pulls out easily if it wanders too far. Love it. Ajuga, love it in bloom (have Choc Chip and Crispa Metallica). Neutral otherwise. Need to have something interesting (and strong) nearby. I'm trying out Hosta Kabitan. Thymes... love the daintiness... hate that they don't suppress weeds so well. Geranium Biokova... I consider that more as a specimen perennial than a groundcover, but I can see it is somewhat of both. Love it. Sedge, Treasure Island...grows slowly, love it because it can go anywhere safely, but unless it is cut back with other perennials, it looks messy far into spring until the new growth covers the old stuff. Cutting back a groundcover is not a fun thing. I used to when I had a little, but now its out of the question. I enjoyed and saved this old thread about groundcovers in link below. I haven't read it in a while, but it might be interesting after reading this thread....See MoreNow I know why I like Scrappy
Comments (3)I do the same thing with my quilt on my bed. I always search out the vintage 1930s fabrics to see if I can still remember which ones they are. Silly, isn't it. When I go to pull out some of my scraps, I can still remember which quilt I originally got the fabric for - not always, but sometimes. Maybe scrap quilts are somewhat like photos, when we are sewing with them (or taking the photos) we can remember the project, people, time/place associated with them?

Comments (24)If you buy an inexpensive pine cabinet from Ikea, make sure that it has wooden glides instead of the cheap plastic ones, as those do not hold up. I have bought inexpensive chests/cabinets from an unfinished furniture shop in Culver City, and then we finished the furniture ourselves. The furniture we got there tended to be alder or oak, and it was easier to finish than pine, and it always had very good wooden glides, which do need to be waxed from time to time, but they do not wear out. I tend to stay away from high gloss furniture (although we made a lot of it where I used to work), but if that is what you want, I think the best way to paint it would be with spray paint, in order to avoid brush strokes. It still takes a fair amount of skill. There are plenty of excellent furniture finishing shops here in L.A. where I could go to get a high gloss finish, if that is what I wanted, and I'm sure there are some where you live as well. I like the shutter table, but I'm not a fan of the antique finish, although it is great if that is what you like. I also stay away from wicker furniture because the wicker can crack or break....See More- 8 years ago
