Comments (66)Pink Traviata does fantastic at nearby rose park .. that one is a beast in alkaline clay, hardy for the past 10 years. I'm putting MULCH FILM (black plastic) to kill grass for a new garden next year, but it takes 6 months to completely kill the grass, to be ready for next spring. Our cold zone zaps roses so small, it's so easy to fit into the garden. My La Reine is 1 foot by 0.5 foot, lots of blooms. My Barcelona (very hardy) is even smaller, like a mini-rose. The blooms of own-root are small too, but they get big after 4 years, if the soil is made loamy. When I first got William Shakespeare 2000, it was so small, and the bloom was 1 inch. !! Now in its 5th year, the bush is much bigger, and the bloom is at least 4 inch, I put tons of gypsum in its planting hole, which helps with zillion petals & also sulfate of potash for potassium....See MoreDaily support Mon 11/1 to Sun 11/7

Comments (42)Hi Peacecorp - Yes I've done a bit of cooking since the kitchen became operational, although I haven't cooked enough to really put all six burners through their paces yet. However, so far, the backsplash is a breeze to clean. The tile is polished marble and mostly water, oil splashes etc are a simple wipe away. This coming weekend I will seal the grout with a grout sealer since I don't want the grout to get grungy over time. However, the grout lines are so thin (the installer really stacked the tiles against each there without much of a spacing), that I am not too worried there, especially once the sealer goes on. One thing that I've heard of with marble is the risk of etching with acidic food like tomato sauce. I haven't done much splashing of tomato sauce yet, and I'm not sure if thats a risk just for honed or also with polished marble. I did go for the 6" stainless backsplash with the Bluestar range top to hopefully capture a majority of splashes. I debated whether I should go with a full stainless backsplash behind the cooktop, but decided it would probably be too much for the number of times I cook tomato sauce. Will let you know how the tile holds up over time. I am not super particular, so if over time some of the tile have etching on them, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it. As for the proline hood, so far so good. The noise is actually less than I anticipated. It feels that even at full blast 900CFM setting, the noise is less than my previous 300 CFM hood. Usually its unnecessary to blast it full speed though. I have not found a reason to go beyond setting 2 so far. It does suck a lot of air. I didn't put in a makeup air system because, well. come on. Lets be serious. The kitchen is open to the rest of the house, and I open a kitchen door leading to the patio if I really need to blast the hood full bore for a long time, which I haven't had to do yet. thdigby - My uppers are actually slightly more than the standard 18" off the counter. I wanted to make sure they are stacked all the way up against the ceiling to avoid a dusty nook above them. Since Ikea's tall uppers are 39" instead of 40-42" like other manufacturers, it put the above counter opening to about 19.5". I installed a 2 inch trim under them so the opening still looks "standard". The trim also helps to hide the under cabinet lighting system....See MoreRock, Herbs, azomite, kelp, crack-corn for flower & disease resistance
Comments (226)@strawchicago z5 Straw, I will get some pictures later today of my Jubilee's. We had torrential rains all yesterday and last night, so all of my plants are a little heavy right now including all the rose flowers that are blooming ;( Once they dry off and perk up from being so close to the ground I'll try to get some pictures, The 2 I have are looking really beautiful though with big fluffy magenta flowers. I took time to smell them all this morning for you. I'm not the best with scent descriptions, but I wanted to try for you- Olivia Austin rose- not very strong scent....can't comment Imogen - typical rose scent (to me) Carding Mill - Beautiful scent, fruity, almost tropical but not too fruity like my Westerlands. Jubilee Celebration - I really like this smell now that I got up close to them to sniff the flowers. It is fruity like Carding Mill, but with a strong kind of lemon zest scent to it. Lemon zest might not sound good, but this is my favorite smell of all the Austin's so far I think. If someone told me a flower smelled strongly like lemon zest, I probably wouldn't love the idea. So maybe that's not the best description of it but I'll try it again later and see if I can come up with a better description. I'm going to order some more of the rose though, I really like it :)...See MoreMoses, Pittsburgh, W. PA., zone 5/6, USA
