Fixer upper show Magnolia Farms very sad.

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I love watching the Gaines family from Waco on the HGTV show Fixer Upper. They have several darling children and live on a true farm with lots of farm animals that the children really love.

Well it was just on the local news here since they are in Texas, that some no good worthless piece of humanity broke into their farm and shot the children's little goats! How freaking crazy do you have to be to do something so evil. I can't even imagine what those children are going through.

May that waste of humanity face what they deserve ! Sick people.

Pure evil is right! I love the show but do have a complaint, not just about their show but about any of the rehabbers....Why do they have to destroy everything in sight??? They go into a kitchen and a lot of the cabinetry would be greatly appreciated by someone working with Habitat or people who can't afford to buy new....Just makes me sick when I see them start to use the sledge hammers.....

Your link isn't working for me, Raven, but just from what you described, I can't begin to imagine how heartbroken those children are. I just will never understand how some people have no regard for life, be it human or animal.

driveway/hardscape materials suggestions for a fixer-upper?

I've never understood why some people love their roses, but think of other thorny plants such as bougainvilla as a completely difficult plant. I find that bougies trained flat against a wall or fence don't require much actual pruning, but do avoid the purple form which is a much more rampant grower more akin to Wisteria or Kiwi vine growth rates. I'm not a fan of single brick bands across such a wide driveway, it is too little detail for the scale. Grasscrete as a driveway material or banding can also be planted out to no-mow ground covers such as Dymondia or Ophiopogon. I would still recommend eliminating that additional concrete around the lawn, and if not fencing to create a courtyard feel, at least some cobination of mounds, screen hedges or raised planters to repeat the long low horizontal lines of the house. The house elevation is just a bit bland, and could really benefit from updated landscape treatment in combination with new driveway treatment. I would understand if this doesn't appeal style wise because it departs from the neighborhood norm, but it would be the approach I'd propose. It just seems like this front space could be greatly improved by designing outside the box.

This is Making Me Very Sad. Can You Help My Tiki Torch?

* the tiki is not over watered, unless as I stated it is by Mother Nature herself Don't write this off as the problem. A lot of people write like zones are the be all and end all of what is going to survive where. However, any reasonable discussions of climate have to also cover humidity and rainfall. There are a lot of plants that are at least as picky over the moisture levels as they are about temperature, and E. paradoxa has always been on that list. As somebody already mentioned, this is a prairie plant that is adapted to a climate that averages between 20" and 30"of rain a year. Trying to grow that type of plant in a climate that gets twice that requires certain adjustments to thinking. In other words, pretend it is a cactus that requires chill hours to thrive. And yes, I've known people to deliberately plant things like this under the house overhangs to keep them dry.

Southern Magnolia Trial Result in Hamburg, NY
Q
Comments (10)
Update - July 1, 2008 I am trialing some of the hardier Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) cultivars in my Hamburg NY, yard. Here are the results as of July 1, 2008: 1) Unnamed clone from Appalachian Gardens - Regrowth is fair, however the tree is planted near a large Norway Maple that is slated to be removed this summmer. I am quite sure there is root competition from the Norway Maple... 2) 'Pocano' - Planted late April 2007. No tip dieback. Regrowth is extremely vigorus and tree looks very healthy. Has dropped some leaves, but has replaced them. 3) 'Edith Bogue' - Planted late April 2007. leaves look same as last fall, no tip dieback.Bought from Forest Farm Nursery and is grown from a cutting. Extremely healthy and vigorus growth and has dropped very few leaves from last year. 4) 'Bracken's Brown Beauty' - Planted late April 2007. Leaves look same as last fall. Has dropped few, if any leaves! Later to start into growth, however it is putting on healthy growth. was forming a flower bud, that I removed as the tree may redirect it's energy into growth. 5) '- 24 Below' - Planted in April 2008. This tree is growing quite good in it's first year in the ground.

On another note, I did read a blog post that interviewed a recipient of one of their remodels. It sounded like a pretty positive experience overall. They mentioned that they were surprised and impressed with the quality of the renovations and that they do the entire house but only stage a few rooms, the ones we see. That they were gifted a few items that Joanne did especially for them but that they do have to buy most of the other staging stuff if they want to keep it. They also said that Chip is pretty much how he appears on air while Joanne is pretty quiet but you can see she is always thinking about the reno and design. They did not become best friends with them, lol. I suspect they are pretty busy people now with all they have going on with there little Wacko empire. Despite some of the many flaws, it is a big hit for the network. I tweeted a plea to bring the Sarah's Cottage Rental to the US. I think I'll post it on their Facebook too. I suggest you all do the same, I do think they might just consider it if they know there is an audience here that is tired of shiplap!

I love their show. As a matter of fact...the last show on my East cost channel this past Saturday showed the new baby goats being called in for "dinner"...along with the rest of the herd....at their farm. What a senseless, malicious slaughter. What kind of being finds pleasure in that kind of an act? I gasped when I read your post, Raven. The entire act brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure it won't be tolerated there any more than it would be tolerated here in CT. As a matter of fact...our local court system just sentenced a man to six years in prison for neglecting his goat herd...and penalized his female partner as well.

How terribly tragic!!!

The article posted on Home design conversations said it was at their business..not at their home/farm. Still senseless and mean.

Top line of article at the farm home of Chip and Joanna Gains. Every thing on the local news here has said at their farm home. Now there farm house is part of the business because they do see clients there as we see on the show. But the silos store is not at the farm and don't think there's animals there. .

I don't understand the mindset of a person who can just walk up to those adorable little goats and cold blooded shoot them. They had no idea if it would be the little children who found them. Luckily it wasn't.

If you read the article it specifies it was at the business. The deaths were discovered by employees in the morning.

Not that it matters....pure evil either way.

Every one of the design shows on TV destroy everything apparently the smashing of stuff with big sledge hammers is a big deal to the production people. This old house on PBS was always good about saving everything they could for the habitat store. I wish the crew here would have done that with some of the upper cabinets. But I didn't want to pass along anything that had been exposed to the flood.

Ifind the killings of the precious little goats to be a big red flag for the sick person who did it! What next?

I've seen their cabinet maker, Clint, go through the demolition debris to find pieces to re-use in the new construction. But sledge hammers are more dramatic.

As for the cruelty to animals, it's disgusting and disappointing, and probably doesn't have anything to do with the Gaines' business--just someone bent on destruction of an easy target. I once knew a young man who was studying for the ministry, but he hated cats, and would swerve to hit them when he was driving. How can one respect a person who would do that? Sick people.
