My new potted maple came with trunk tied to a 'stick'. ...
Comments (5)If the label said only acer palamatum dissectum without a specific cultivar name such as Waterfall, Orangeola or Seiryu, for example, there is no way to tell if it is a weeping form or not although most a. p. dissectums do have a weeping or mounding growth habit. It also might mean that this particular plant was seed grown and therefore is no particular cultivar (or that the cutivar label had at some point been lost). Your description does sound like a grafted plant, however. Usually you can find the point at which the graft was made by looking for the slight swelling where the graft was joined to the understock. There is also frequently a noticeable difference in bark color between the understock and grafted material. The stick serves no other function except to keep the plant upright in its pot....See MoreOT - News Story came out today, my blog got 1,900 hits, hehe
Comments (14)Ok, Grrrr. It seems not only did I exceed the bandwidth of my photo sharing site (until tomorrow when my month is over I think), but it appears that I may have crashed the Ft2Garden.com server bandwidth as well. I was posting about the photo site when it gave me an error when I tried posting. After checking Judy's blog and the Ft2Garden.com forum, they were all down. I can only assume the two are related. Who knew my 15 minutes of fame would have such unintended consequences. Oops!...See MoreHelp,,,my things just don't look right in my new house
Comments (17)Wow guys... Thanks for all of the great suggestions and fun links! In our last home, the walls were sage green. It looked beautiful with our things. I was leaning toward more of a goldy tan here just for a change and for more versatility. My fear is that if I keep my current color theme that it will be out of style soon. I am seeing so many people painting over their golds and moving toward the greys and blue/greens. I love this look and see it in many of my inspiration pics. If I totally changed gears, I would likely need to get a new rug. So many decisions! I do love the look/ feel of soofrivers home. I love the wainscoting and her light walls, which is odd considering I am a color person. I had a blast going through the cottage of the month site- those are some amazing places! I was considering adding some wainscoting, but wasn't sure where. I am going to need major help with window treatments, as I really struggle with them. I do know that DH will not want any of the window covered. As for things I like...I love anything out of the Pottery Barn catalog and also like a mix with some antiques. Thank you!!!...See Morenew LO for small kitchen, my sister came up with this one...
Comments (13)hmm... agree regarding the opening frig door and little space between tall things. I am not liking frig/oven next next to each other because: the nearest landing spot is either a sidestepping 30" or a pivot across traffic to the opposite counter carrying hot and heavy items.. Opening the frig means you are opening it in front of the ovens or vice versa.... If the white is the stove area, then I would definitely suggest shortening the wall behind to allow plenty of room for people walking by you and getting into the frig or other "helping" activities. Or could you switch the sink and the cooktop areas? Just not sure about having cooktop and its grease and steam in narrow passage area.... How about moving the oven down one more section and making larger space in between the frig/oven stacks? The oven would be by the table if you needed extra landing space for cooling multiple racks of cookies ... :)...See Moreingrid_vc so. CA zone 9
