New Queen Palms-Don't know what we're doing!
Comments (6)hi there rob, i'm just down the road a bit (HWY 80) in hercules, and we've had our queen (which we got at home depot) for at least 6 years and she's been through alot and is doing just fine! we have that good 'ole clay soil too (pretty bad actually) and all we do is give her those fertilizer spikes by vigaro ever so often and that's it! when i say she's been through alot, i mean that we've moved her twice, she's been through 2 floods (neighbors retaining wall broke during heavy rains 2 years ago) and had to sit in standing water for about 3 weeks in our clay soil. plus, we're in a funky yet beautiful little valley (think california cows') that's right on the bay, so it gets very hot and pretty cold along with the moisture from the bay. for example, we've just had this outta nowhere heatwave for the last 3 days after tons of rain, and now today the fog is so thick, and it's damp and chilly! yes, her tips do brown from time to time, but she's doing just fine. we just keep her trimmed and fertilized. that's it. hope this helps and good luck! angela...See MoreMaster Gardners DON'T help the elderly and disabled??
Comments (16)[[[...I got quickly and curtly shut-down and disappointed....]]] If you go through life expecting other people to do heavy labor for you for free, you are going to go through life being disappointed often. You might try calling some churches and see if they have volunteers that help the elderly. Other than that, if you and your friends are not capable of rototilling and you can't find anyone to do it for free (and all the money out of their own pocket to drive over, gas for the rototiller, service and sharpening for the rototiller, and their time), then figure out how to garden without rototilling. Lots of successful gardeners are growing veggies "no till". There is a forum right here on Garden Web that is devoted to elderly and less-abled gardeners. If you click on "enabling" you will find it. It is full of excellent advice. It is very kind of you to volunteer and help that elderly couple. You are certainly racking up good karma points. But, while you get to give away your own time, you do not get to give away other people's time. Your correct response would have been "Thank you. I thought it was worth my time to ask, and now I know." Instead of getting all indignant that they declined to do free work for you....See MoreI don't like our new master bath
Comments (40)I would like to second peytonroad's suggestion about the backsplash tile. Use the blue glass tile but also incorporate some of the tan tile into the backsplash. You have a nice, long span of backsplash and I think that could really tie it together. I also like the idea of having your contractor take the blue tile band all the way out to the edge. Even though a door will be going in, that will make the blue accent look more purposeful and finished. I agree with lukkiirish and others that more blue on the walls is a good idea. I like your blue tiles and I don't think the combination is a mistake - you do have the "sand and sea" look and sweeby makes a great point about adding colorful accents. I have a feeling, if you take some of these suggestions, you will love it in the end....See MoreNeighbors... don't even know where I'm posting this. Sorry. I'm new.
Comments (23)Sounds like a few possibilities- if daughter/grandkids moved in recently there must be no father on a continual basis. The boy may not understand that your house is no longer 'his' home. He may have witnessed/lived with a defiant/violent/drunk male in the past where this type of behavior is all he saw. Monkey See- Monkey Do. He may be ADHD. ADD. Fetal Alcohol Sydrome Disorder child. - 91-94% of ADHD/AUTISM is later diagnosed at early school age or adolescent age as FASD. ... It IS his mother who needs to set boundaries. Grandma already raised her kids- it is not her responsibility. Is the mother an alcoholic? Drugs? Physically or mentally abused and does not have the capacity herself to guide her children. You may not know these answers yet but dig. Ask grandma over or out for a hamburger. Discuss your worries with her and she may shed some light on the situation. Or not... It is not the child's fault, as much as it puts stress on you. Be proactive- lock your garage door. Lock your home doors. Ask a legal person if YOU may put a lock on the gate. Look at your County Clerk office tax assessment/file to see who legally put up the fence- you may be surprised to find out it is really your fence. Talk to your insurance company- they will have suggestions about how you can cover yourself. Most of these things are private and the neighbor's will not know of you trying to figure out the situation. Sometimes it DOES take a village to raise a child- especially a mentally affected child. I am blessed- I too have a connecting yard because two sisters and their husbands lived side by side. Then they were widows. I was able to know/visit the sister that previously owned my house for a year, before her death a few months ago at 100 years old... Her sister is my neighbor at 90, who is a wonderful woman. Don't dispair- there is a reason you are there. Figure out why as exhausting as it is right now. Chin up!...See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
