What would you plant considering my data?
Comments (4)Yeah, sorry about altitude and pH I forgot them in all that data. So, 85 m is altitude, and pH...Well, I don't know exact on micro location, but I will tell you that here is the biggest forest in the world of Quercus robur, it grows here very prosperously ( this area is famous about that oak ), and he likes slightly acidic ground, so it is probably below pH 5.5 njoasis, as I know, USDA zones are based on average minimum temperature, not absolute minimum, and since that for Vinkovci is -12.2°C, I put them in 7b. Considering frost, it is you can say common in April, every couple of years in May, and in 1987. believe it or not, it was recorded minimum temperature of 0.0°C in July.That probably happens one time in 50-100 years, so I'm not worried about it, but I mentioned that data, since I have it. Frost is normal from November till March, and every couple of years from October till April or May.In September is also very, very rare. I hope I haven't confused you.We don't have that harsh climate, as it may seems, USA has far, far more harder winters then we do, mostly thanks to cold air from Canada, and type of air masses we don't have here ( OK, we have from Russia and Arctic, but not in the way you do - you have really sudden and cold masses of air with blizzards and low temperature, something like that here is rare, and much more milder and slower then in USA ). Resin, from experience, Picea abies can grow here, and indeed it is very, very common, but it haven't got good habitus, which differs very much from those spruces in hilly areas, with more rainfall.They don't look good, if you ask me, they are healthy, but they branches are all kinda pendulous, not towards the sky like in hilly or mountainous area. Pinus strobus also had some issues in this area, mainly beacuse of relatively dry climate and Cronartium ribicola, and he also likes humid climate more. You said Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Taxodium distichum - I know that, especially Taxodium, can grow in drier climate, but are you sure in this conditions with 639 mm of rain and dry winds, do you have any example from USA?Why I ask, because our climate, is tricky if you ask me, ironically my area ( Slavonija ) is one of the richest agricultural areas in Europe. I will tell you what I added in my local forum on list: Abies nordmandianna Cedrus atlantica Cedrus deodara Ginko biloba ( I know it is not conifer ) Larix decidua Picea pungens Pinus nigra Pinus silvestris Pinus mugo Pinus wallichiana Taxus baccata Glad to here more of your opinions, thanks guys, and regards, Anton....See MoreDirect Vent - which brands to consider?
Comments (4)After Extensive searching I am going with a town and country fireplace. To me it looks the most like a wood fireplace. It took me a looooonnnnggg time to find what I wanted.

Comments (59)If a person (mainly female, perhaps) is beautiful at 16 ... not much credit to her. If s/he is beautiful at 60 ... s/he had much more of a hand in that result. I feel somewhat sad that so many of you feel rather substantially displeased with yourselves ... though, as some say, perhaps it's being rather realistic. I'm much more interested in what a person's emotional makeup, knowledge, interests, outlook on life, concern for others and psyche are like that what appears on their face or body. If you don't love yourself ... it's pretty hard to be able to love others very effectively. ole joyful...See MoreDesign Direction Advice - which would you rather?
Comments (18)I haven't read all the responses, but I would start by going to the tile stores and see what jumps out at you. if you fall in love with a tile, that can be your jumping off point. When we redid the hall/kids/guest bath I had seen a picture of a brightly tiled bath of Villeroy and Boch tiles. They are individual 8x8 squares of ocean blue, butterscotch, apple green, and white. I debated because of the " not easy to change" factor but decided to go for it. It's a small bath and I did the floor, tub surround and halfway up the wall. It's the boldest thing in the house. Six years later I still like it......it's a cheerful room without being cutesy.....suitable for both kids and adult guests. ( I did not add the tile flower border that coordinated with the field tiles). I do sometimes worry about resale, but most likely a family with kids would buy this house and most kids' baths have bright colors in some form. When we redid the master bath I knew I wanted a natural maple vanity. After that the jumping point was the accent tile I found...everything fell into place after that. You can also look at Houzz or magazines and if you see a bath you like try to duplicate the elements....See More- 6 years agolast modified: 6 years ago
