Comments (19)Thanks for the followup, Fairfield. Mine was very small...but I still don't think it would be hardy long term here even if established. A winter like this one is going to occur every 20 years or so...hopefully no more often than that. In Athens, GA one has a shorter duration of cold, stronger winter sun, etc. etc...but it's good to know it is hardier than zn 9. "The other day I noticed the "tree line" at one of the multimillion dollar giant independent garden centers here was down to a fraction of its usual length, as though it was getting to the point where it was hardly worth stocking trees at all." Yeah I'm reminded of calling around the Main Line nurseries for European beeches around the time of the Urban Outfitters buyout of Styers, so 2008-09 ish. When I first became aware of Styers in the late 1990s, their website listed quite a few cultivars of European Beech. By the time I was looking around none of the usual suspects (Waterloo was still in biz back then, with 2 locations) had anything other than a non-named, seedling possibly, "purple beech". The old days when typical people wanted to plant "legacy" trees are gone forever. Since then with Dilworth, John Shelley in York County, and various other such nurseries going out of business, it will become even harder to find such plants. Although I do think in a way it's a net positive that the remaining good mail order nurseries like Rarefind and Song Sparrow will consolidate their ability to market rarities. In the end its better for someone to buy them mail order than to not be produced at all because Joe Public no longer shops for high end plants at local retailers. Also a few hybrid wholesalers/retailers will persist here and there like the generally excellent (though I've had problems with a couple of their plants) Colesville Nursery in central VA. Last time I was there, an elderly couple had driven all the way from New Jersey to buy some Cephalotaxus!...See MoreHomeclick - Just Unbelievable!!!
Comments (2)i'm sorry this happened. there was a thread some weeks ago about them opening again, with someone from the company chiming in about how they're back on their feet. i need a lot of things right now but i wasn't going to be the first to jump in given their previous track record. sorry you had to be the guinea pig, but thanks for letting us know. i hope they resolve your issue....See MoreUpdate: cancelled flight and cruise, in March
Comments (5)Glenda, I'd try again. You wanna cruise. Take your experience and be there a night early. It's been so traumatic having your holiday missed like it happened. Take the cruise. Enjoy - life is way, waaaaayyyy, way to short. C'mon, take it!...See MoreCrownpoint Inset-unbelievable
Comments (14)Just out of curiosity, was wondering if anyone else had this thought- because it bothered me from the start of our search. Most cabinet drawers, if you open them up and rap on the bottoms, they flex and are really kind of flimsy. I think they are usually 1/4" or something. Of course on wider drawers it just gets worse. I could just imagine all our metal stuff dropping onto those flimsy bottoms. Of course every showroom told me its standard, no problem, etc. But it bugged me. So then we go to Crownpoint and i open a drawer, and what do you know its like a slab of concrete down there, full 1/2" drawer bottom, beautiful sound when you rap it, no flex, solid...like it should be. And then the frames and fronts are all 1" thick- beefy furniture grade stuff! Thats what we thought-this is furniture and its going to add whole different dynamic to the kitchen. So i have to tell you this, go rap on some drawer bottoms and tell me its not a tell tale sign.......See Morejust_terrilynn
