need recs for shade-tolerant evergreen groundcover
Comments (14)If you are still looking....I recommend that you use bigroot geranium. (geranium macrorrhizum) I am in Menasha Wisconsin and had to remove hostas from my front sidewalk garden under and near silver maple trees...which made my hostas diminish over the years. I took my bigroot geranium and planted it in that space and today it is a beautiful and lush. This plant is not invasive, it survives easily in dry shade, normal shade and even full sun. It handles winter salt from our driveway with no problem at all....much of our driveway snow gets shoveled on top of our geranium garden areas. This is a plant that can be mowed down once it's established, and in 2-3 weeks, you'll have nice fresh leaves. Some people do this after it blooms, I do not. It's blooming right now in my yard, the bloom color is fushia. Even though it's very pretty, I actually love the foliage and would be fine if it didn't bloom at all. This plant has fixed this problem area for me and turned it into my entry into a place of beauty with many compliments. Extremely easy to plant/transplant, the roots are pretty much above the soil, so you just grab some, and plant it below the soil wherever you want some more. I started an area in the spring, using little parts of the roots and by fall in my first season it was nearly covered...the next spring, it was pretty much full and I am just grabbing little pieces of it and planting it in other areas as I want it. Did I mention that this is nearly evergreen...it's one's of the first things to start greening up, well before the lawn and the daffodils...maybe about the time of crocus. It has a lovely pine scent when you touch it and often turns a bit red in the fall. It's my favorite, I can't believe more people don't have it...or that it's rarely seen in our local nurseries. Very hardy. If it goes where you want it, just break off those roots and put them somewhere else!...See MoreDesperately seeking oven...must be 24 inches! Need recs.
Comments (31)Hey Fori and All, I just ordered 2 Fisher Paykel 24" ovens and they're supposed to be here on Monday! They were $1599 each. I was looking at the Fagor one...sure is cute, but I couldn't find it locally and I decided it was too much of a gamble service wise. The price is tough to beat though! :-) As soon as I have my ovens I will post pictures for those of us who are space challenged in the oven department. I'm not sure what would look good next to a five star range...thinking maybe the DeLonghi like you said. It seems that a lot of the 24" ones are somewhat eurostyled with a sleek modern look...which fits into my 1950's modern house very nicely. I'm having some custom metalwork done as well as cabinet carpentry once the ovens are here...so it'll be a week or two til I have a completed install. I can't wait to see them...little scary ordering an appliance sight unseen. Pizza parties here we come :-) Anne...See MoreNeed Recs for Small Dinette Set
Comments (8)Thanks everyone! Very good suggestions here. I've been sifting through all the links and have found several I really like, although some are a bit more than I hoped to spend. However, if it turns out it's the right one, I'll bite the bullet. I also love the idea of dealing with the Amish people and having it made expressively for me. Someone had suggested this to me a while ago and I had forgotten all about it. I don't live very far from that area in PA, it's an easy drive so perhaps once the weather warms up we'll take a ride out and make a weekend out of it. Right now I'm using a Danish Modern drop leaf table I inherited from my Aunt. I do love it but it's rectangular and just doesn't look right in the space....See MoreNeed to buy a light-weight king duvet- any recs?
Comments (10)Eddie Bauer is well-known for their quality down products, and they have a lightweight down duvet. But may I also suggest considering the down alternative? It is light, comes in a lightweight warmth version, and is a nice alternative if you don't want down or have allergy issues in your house. Eddie Bauer down alternative duvet Quality issues are personal, but keep in mind that the quality duvet is less likely to bunch and shift, and will last a long time because it is in the duvet cover. A worthwhile investment if you think it is something you want to use for years to come....See Moretackykat
