If it's not too late to find new homes...
Comments (4)Hello, I am interested in your elderberry seedling, and Japanese anemone. Looking at your list, I have globe artichoke seeds that I got from a man in Siena, Italy. Take a look and see if there is anything else you'd like. Thanks Ellie...See MoreNever too late
Comments (9)Qbush, the peas I put in were "Sugar Lace" (snap) and "Green Arrow" (shelling). "Sugar Lace" was old seed, so I over-sowed; but the germination was still poor. In the past, I actually had better germination if planted in warm soil, so I suspect it was the age of the seed. To make a bad situation worse, one whole row died off in the summer heat. Only a partial row remains, but it was a long row, so there will still be plenty to snack on. "Green Arrow" was also old seed, but had pretty good germination, and much less summer die-off. The longest row was planted adjacent to a long row of bush beans, and the two seem very happy together... a little too happy, with the peas clinging to the beans. I've had to separate them (carefully) while picking the beans. The peas seem to have benefited from the moisture & cooler soil under the bean canopy, that part of the row is lush & full of pods. All the beans ("Tenderette") and peas were planted the same day. The bush beans matured first, before the end of August. To my surprise, both peas are maturing at about the same time; I expected "Green Arrow" to be a week or two later. I'll be snacking on snap peas while picking shelling peas, which should be pleasant. Still no frost in the long-term forecast; looks like I'll be picking bush beans & zucchini for awhile yet, and getting more cukes than I expected. 10+ more days of moderate temperatures should give at least some of the "Bush Table King" acorn squash time to mature, there are about 70-80 that have reached full size. Never tried planting acorn squash so late, it will be impressive if they make it. This wasn't the garden that I planned; none of the seed crops planned for the rural plot were planted, and will need to be put off until next year. Still, it looks like it will be a good harvest & a full freezer. "Those same cranes come to my place in central florida in the winter. I'll ask them if they felt ok about eating Zeedman's crops...." Well maybe if you had fed them better, they wouldn't be so hungry! ;-)...See MoreI haven't done my veggies yet - its not too late is it?
Comments (3)yes, you have plenty of time to plant your veggies, even your tomatoes. last year I had to resow my tomatoes because they got caught in the weeklong freeze we had in april. even with a late april sowing, they didn't take long to catch up to others that I had picked up at a plant swap. I've got to get some squash, cucumbers and melons WS this week and then I think I'm done!!...See MoreHere is the situation and too late to change it!!
Comments (30)Thanks Kittykitty, I tried today to take photos of the Living room cause we just made new drapes a couple of weeks ago. I am going for the British Colonial look and think I achieved it with our new chenille drapes. However, the sun is so much lower this time of year the room is too bright for the color of the drapes to show up, when I shoot the windows. Here is a photo I took earlier this morning, it shows some of the drapes. I'm sure the members of this forum have already seen this chair. I picked it up at goodwill, stripped it, refinished the wood (it was blond wood) and we re-upholstered it in this warm brownish gold chenille.(re-upholstering is a hobby of ours) We made the footstool to match, using the bottom of my mothers coffee table form the 1950's. The throw pillows we made as well. I won the vintage piece of tapestry from ebay and made a pillow from it. We just re-upholstered this chair as well. I bought this chair in 1973 it was covered in a brown velor and I loved it...About three years ago we covered it in a gold velor, it looked nice, but I missed the chocolate brown, so we decided to do it again...This time we changed the chair, omitted the skirt and cut a wood front between the legs to match the wing chair and stained the legs the same color. Also the original chair and the first re-upholstery job had a semi- attached tufted cushion...this time we made a regular tufted back and I like it much better. The chair looks very different since it's upholstery job. This brown fabric has a lot of life, it's so pretty in person. here is the side of the goodwill chair......See More
