Shot - In the -Dark
Comments (6)Hi Paul, Yep,everything was brought in a week before the Extravaganza show,as we had two nights that had frost form,and I had to cover all the plants. I was concerned that it might occur when I was in Florida,so I played it safe. When it got really warm again this week,I put the 3 plants in the photo out for more sun. Its just too unpredictable here,can be 70 in the daytime,and in the 30's at night. A year ago we had that heavy snow storm that ruined half the trees in our area. Ya just never know.

Comments (7)Here is a good reason why you may not be able to find this particular brand of tea anymore. Scroll down to below the Google ads for the article about Importing and Exporting of various teas and then changing the names and packaging by multiple competitors selling the same tea etc. Interesting. Maybe your just going to have to start trying some new blends and mixes and find a source for a new favorite. I can make you a reusable teabag! :) MeMo Here is a link that might be useful: Wholesale Tea...See MoreCouple of mystery hostas - would like your shots in the dark
Comments (5)LOL Ken, I stuffed those in that spot late last year. It's not really a full-fledged garden, just an oak tree that was boring and homeless hostas that got paired up. In light of hosta safety from lawn mowers, I put the small eyes relatively close to the oak to avoid the mower blades. I can move them out if they get too crammed, but I kind of like the look of it with certain varieties. I typically plant now and create the garden later. So far, I've not received approval from hubby to put in a formal edging and make a "real" garden because of proximity to the neighbors. I suppose one way around it is to get rid of the grass and forego the edging, but I'd rather be working on grass removal in areas I won't have to perform that task again (areas I can edge). At the very least, I'll probably pull a few clumps of grass this spring, mulch with oak leaves and call it a day. It's a good thing you called me on the hosta abuse, they will thank you, Ken :-)...See MoreShot in the dark. Anyone have a piece of the Wuchow collection
Comments (2)I don't have that piece but did have a red table from a different collection of theirs. Just looked but didn't see it on their website anymore. At any rate, I had the same decision problem you are having and finally bought it anyway. When the piece arrived it was a brighter, more cherry-ish red than I wanted but fixable. I dry brushed the whole piece with a brown gel stain and that toned the red down to what I wanted. Then I did a light spray with a matte urethane and the finish was perfect for the 5 or 6 years that I had the piece - just sold it at a garage sale last summer. If the piece is perfect for you in every other way, you can alter the color....See Morebeth09
