New to fruits - should I have sprayed/treated by now?
Comments (4)JLC, Not sure where in Zone 6 your at, it can make a difference. I take it that you bought this house and all the trees and fruits are currently in production? If so, you'll need some protection for your apples. You'll either need to bag them, or spray with an insecticide. Since you haven't sprayed for fungus, be on the lookout. Blackberries and Raspberries should be OK without spray in most places. You need to cut out the old canes though (the ones that fruited last year (they will look dead)). Strawberries generally don't need too much protection. If it rains a lot, the berries will rot. In those cases, I spray mine with Captan. Other than that, slugs will eat them (slug baits are effective). Mine are sometimes infected with strawberry beetles....See MoreHelp--How do I build living room around loveseat?
Comments (8)The room is 11X13. We have two chairs we can put in the room now, but nothing we're committed to. This house is basically a clean slate for us, and I'm struggling with thoughts about how to start. I don't want to just hop over to ikea to get it all done, but I do need it functional pretty quickly. Anyhow, I'd love ideas on how to work around/with the loveseat, and start a process that is totally new to me. I've never invested in furniture or decorating b/c we were never in one place long enough for it to make sense. Many thanks!...See MoreNew floors, now I need a rug.

Comments (8)I think you have some very pretty spaces here and have already done a more than respectable job with the decor. For the living room in particular, it only needs tweaks, such as raise up the art higher (and pull that sofa a bit from the wall, so that no one feels nervous about hitting their head on the art); take everything off the media unit that has height and make the decorations low bowls or trays. Plants look wonderful in that room, so bring in as many as you can handle. Are you completely averse to a light toned shag-type rug for your living space? if that doesn’t work for you, a sisal is fine. That rocking chair in the corner of the dining room isn’t going to get used, so I’d replace it with a plant. In the other corner, instead of sticks, get a free standing or wall mounted wine rack. For the dining chairs, I would go for ones in colourful or transparent plastic (these come in different colors) or if you prefer the comfort of upholstered go for bright colors, florals or graphics, or solids. Coral, aqua, — whatever you like. You could have a livelier linear light fixture, either something curvy or feathery or with shine. What you have is fine with your chairs, but after you switch out the chairs, maybe you’ll want a new fixture. I love your glam Monroe headshots in the kitchen. A more fun and flashy kitchen clock would be nice, as would pop-style utensil holders, fruit bows, dishtowels, fab dishwashing gloves and a great cooking apron or 2 I would make bar stools the last purchase. My problem with macrame is that it collects dust. If you like fabric arts (and they can be inexpensive and easy to hang) look at batik wall hangings and Japanese noren curtains — that kind of folk art, which can have bright colors or subtle designs....See Moreingrid_vc so.
